Even More Paper Pumpkin July 2016 What a Gem Alternative Projects

Here are a few more alternative projects that my mom and I came up with during our Paper Pumpkin Club. My mom created a sparkling birthday card using the diamond stamp image and one of the larger tags. I really love the layout and colors on this card! The layout is truly dynamic. I like the angle of the Basic Black cardstock strip across the middle and the scatter of diamonds.

The inside of the stamp has the birthday sentiment and more diamonds. My mom thinks she is still a starting stamper, but I think she is advancing and doing a terrific job creating her own cards!! Go Mom!!

I couldn't resist making a small banner! I cut five triangles from the smaller box to make this party banner. I used the solid triangles and punched my own 1/8" holes.

Here is a close up of one of the pennants. I used the Back to Basics Alphabet, however you could substitute Labeler Alphabet.

The last project I made was a planner clip with a tassel. I was trying to think of a way to use up the last bits of the thick baker's twine. I wasn't completely happy with the pre-made planner bookmarks, so I made my own.

I wrapped thick baker's twine around one end of a jumbo paper clip and tied the top with the pre-cut piece of twine. I can see making more of these planner clips with regular baker's twine and even washi tape. I purchased the jumbo paper clips at my local office supply store.

I am all about my planner! But, you could also use these tassel clips for saving pages in magazines, books, and catalogs.

What other alternative projects have you created with your Paper Pumpkin Kits? I would love to see what you make!

Thanks for stopping by!
