Fluttering Garden - Paper Pumpkin Alternatives - March 2026

Is it spring yet? I think we are on a yo-yo with respect to weather. One day it is 17C and then next day there is snow on the ground. Enough already, bring the hummingbirds back!

This paper pumpkin kit had two stamps in it and some GORGEOUS hummingbird pop outs. The card bases in the kit were very neutral with not a lot of colour, so I brought in some designer series paper I had lying around for this first card. I used a different panel of the same paper in my video. This card is so simple, yet I love it! What do you think? The second one is the one we did in the video, which do you prefer? the Peach or the Blue?

For the second card that we did in the video, I used the envelope for a splash of colour. I kept this one pretty neutral using heat embossing. In the video, I used a Basic White card base, but I actually prefer the Basic Gray. Which do you prefer?

I used the "beautiful" from the kit but stamped the Hello and then cut it out. The largest mat is from the kit also (a card base) and I just sponged some pool party on it to dull the grey.

Check out the video replay where I made this cards live on FB and YouTube.

Also check back to my Facebook page for the next few days to see other alternatives using this amazing kit. I can't wait for next months kit (only a few more days to subscribe).
