\"\"<\/p>\n

I found this card sketch and thought it could inspire me in creating an alternative card using the contents of the December 2025 Paper Pumpkin named Watercolor In Bloom.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course I had to edit the measurements of this card sketch to create an A2 card. I used an 8-1\/2″ x 5-1\/2″ piece of card stock and with the 8-1\/2″ side at the top of my Trimmer I scored at 4-1\/4″.<\/span><\/p>\n

I then cut one of the card bases in the paper pumpkin to 3-3\/4″ x 5″ and layered that on a 4″ x 5-1\/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock. These layers were then adhered to the Pretty Peacock card base.<\/span><\/p>\n

I used the Basic White strip that has leaves on each of the long sides, and trimmed it so the length was 5″. I used this strip as the layer used in the sketch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Then I cut a 2-1\/2″ x 2-1\/2″ square out of Pretty Peacock card stock. I also cut a 2″ x2″\u00a0 piece of Basic White card stock. On this white square I stamped my sentiment using the stamp set included in the paper pumpkin.\u00a0 With dimensionals this layered square was adhered to the front of the card. I used some of the ephemera to decorate the card.<\/span><\/p>\n

My finished card and envelope below.<\/p>\n
