Paper Pumpkin July 2016 What a Gem Alternative Project #1

The first alternative project I created is a birthday card for my friends and family with summer birthdays. I used a few stamp sets to create this project - Jar of Love, Labeler Alphabet, and What a Gem.

I love how these gems seem to spill right out of the jar! I used Real Red, Crushed Curry, Emerald Envy, Dapper Denim, and Elegant Eggplant to resemble rubies, topaz, emeralds, diamonds, and amethysts. Tempting Turquoise would also be a gorgeous addition!

I originally intended for this to be a birthday card. However, I really think this could be a thank you card. Change the inside sentiment to one from One Big Meaning, Flourishing Phrases, or Thankful Thoughts. You could even create a set of both birthday and thank you cards to give as a gift!

What other alternative projects have you made with this month's Paper Pumpkin Kit? I would love to see what you make!

Thanks for stopping by!
