MEMORABLE MEADOWS ALTERNATES
Welcome to another exciting installment of crafting inspiration brought to you by the APPT (A Paper Pumpkin Thing) group! Today, we’re diving into the world of repurposed creativity with alternate projects from the Memorable Meadows Paper Pumpkin kit. Join us as we explore the endless possibilities of transforming kit components into unique creations that showcase your individual style. You can take the blog hop tour by clicking the links below.
Why settle for ordinary when you can create extraordinary? That's the question I asked myself before diving into this project. The Memorable Meadows kit, with its rich textures and designs, sparked an idea in my mind: to create alternate cards that stand out both in design and sentiment. Bringing out their inherent beauty, turning each card into a small masterpiece.
Tailoring for Every OccasionThe beauty of crafting is its adaptability. With the Memorable Meadows stamp set from the kit, I chose to focus on birthday cards due to a personal shortage. However, the versatility of the designs and greetings means these cards can easily be transformed into sympathy cards or cards for other occasions. It's all about changing the greeting to suit the moment.
What about the Envelope?Understanding the importance of presentation, these carousel cards are designed to fold perfectly and fit inside a Medium Stampin’ Up Envelope. For those considering mailing these beauties, remember to opt for hand canceling to preserve the intricacies of the card.
Your Guide to Creating These CardsTo assist you in recreating these carousel cards, I have compiled a comprehensive guide complete with step-by-step instructions, a template, measurements, and a complete supply list. Additionally, for visual learners, I've included a video tutorial from a previous class that shares the nuances of making a Carousel card. This resource is available for free in the instructions section of this post.

A Perfect Pair: Coordinating with the Meandering Meadows SuiteThe March Memorable Meadows Paper Pumpkin kit harmoniously coordinates with the Stampin Up Meandering Meadows Suite. This suite, with its impressionistic style, complements the carousel cards beautifully, adding layers of depth and creativity through its Garden Meadows Stamp Set and Dies, Designer Series paper, and the charming brass Dragonflies and Birds Embellishments.
Availability of RefillsFor those who have fallen in love with these alternate ideas, I have good news: refills for the March Memorable Meadows Paper Pumpkin kit are now available in my online store. Grab them while they last!
Looking Ahead: April Paper Pumpkin KitThe crafting adventure doesn't stop here. Join me in April for some Paper Pumpkin fun with the Delicate Wings kit, where the theme will be butterflies – a universal symbol of transformation and beauty. Subscribers can look forward to exclusive alternate card tutorials and free videos created by myself and the PPX crew, guaranteed to be nothing short of amazing.
Crafting is not just a hobby; it's a way of expressing love, creativity, and personal touch. Through these carousel cards, I hope to inspire you to explore your artistic side and create something that brings joy not just to you but to those you cherish.
Happy crafting!
