Life is Sweet Paper Pumpkin Alternative

In today’s post I’m sharing a Life is Sweet Paper Pumpkin alternative. My kit hasn’t yet arrived, however, a friend received hers a few days ago and loaned it to me so that I could get started. I love the soft colours and fruity images in this months kit I was itching to get creating with it.

When my kit arrives each month I usually create one of each of the projects to familiarize myself with the contents of the kit. The next project I create is a scrapbook layout, which is what I’m sharing today. This year I’ve added in the challenge to use up the rest of the kit contents before the end of the month. It’s been fun!

This months kit includes all the supplies to create 3 each of 3 card designs similar to the ones shown below. I say similar because I will often make slight modifications to the cards to make them more ‘me’. Although this month I don’t think I changed much at all.

If you are new to Stampin’ Up! and wondering what Paper Pumpkin is? It is the BEST crafting subscription kit!

Every month you receive a box full of crafty goodness. It includes everything you need to create whatever that months projects are (except scissors). That means you get an exclusive stamp set, ink, any embellishments and all the pre cut and scored pieces! Most months the projects are cards but occasionally there will be 3D projects or tags.

Don’t miss out on next months kit! If you’re in Canada, subscribe here, before the 10th of the month in order to receive the July kit. Here’s a hint at what’s to come.

Let’s take a look at this months project….

The stamp set in this months kit doesn’t include any images – only words. So I pulled out the Citrus Blooms bundle, which coordinates with the kit, so that I could stamp the background. The other product I pulled out is a new favourite – the Greetings of the Season dies. This is a new online exclusive product that will be available in July. These dies have been on my desk since I received them. I’ve been using them on everything!

I shared the process of creating this layout in the video below.

The Life is Sweet Paper Pumpkin kit is no longer available, however, if you are a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, you can purchase a refill kit (#165002) that could easily be used to create this layout. The refill kit includes all the consumable products in the kit (no stamp set or ink spot).
