What a stunning kit! And I guess we all felt that way, because Stampin’ Up! just informed us that there will be no refills available for the Aug ’22 Sweet Sunflowers. It “sold out” just from those that subscribed. Wow, right?! Well…for those of you who DID get it, here are my first alternate projects that I created with this Paper Pumpkin. And I’m excited to share them with you today!

This month’s kit contained the supplies shown below to make nine stunning cards.

But I never assemble my kits as is, because I like to show subscribers other ways to use those supplies. I like to think outside the box…see what else I can come up with, and create alternate cards, scrapbook pages and more. So today I’m sharing with you…

• Seven alternate cards (including tulle shakers and a pop-out bendy fun fold)
• And a fun set of tags in a multi-pocket holder

Here are the cards the kit instructs how to make. (Click here for a link to Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video to help you assemble these as intended.)

And here are close-up photos of the alternate projects I made and shared in my video. (Remember to watch my video first to get measurements, tips and directions.)

Tulle shaker cards

Simple “layer” cards

Pop-out bendy fun fold card

And after originally posting, I fixed this card so the gold layer was behind the bendy strap. I like it better this way.

I added this photo below to my 9/1/22 post and then decided to add it here. Hope this helps those of you who visit back here later.

I hope I inspired your creativity with what I shared today! If you did not get this kit, I hope you can apply these ideas to products you already own.
