Hi all,
February's Paper Pumpkin kit was so fun to do! The Easter images were cute and the sentiments can be used for other Easter cards you make. Below are the original cards we made and the alternatives! I hope you like them.

This cute Easter bunny is the first one to make using the instructions in the kit. Everything is provided for you and the instructions are easy to read. If you have adhesive, you can add the adhesive to the back of the front panel instead of using mini glue dots. The rest of the card parts are secured using mini dimensionals and mini glue dots provided.
My first alternative to this design. I folded the front of the base card in half, or to the scored line to create a stand up card. This card is horizontal, so the images are added that way too. The layered panel is then added to the lower part of the card base using Tear and Tape. The top part is not attached to the card front so it will stand up. The "Happy Easter" banner is added to the base using dimensionals.
This second card is so sweet! The colors are soft and you can use this card for events other than Easter. The instructions are easy to follow.
My alternative to the second card is making it a Z fold card! So easy with this card. Fold the card so that what is normally the inside of the card is now the outside of the card. All the green color will be on the inside of the card. Take the card front and fold it back on itself to the scored line to create a Z fold. This is what you see. The inside of the card is now visible! So cool! Stamp the stitched white square and add it to the folded edge using dimensionals. Add the leaves and flowers to the front panel using dimensionals. Add a pink thread bow to the front using a mini glue dot. Stamp the inside of the panel using the Easter sentiment. Hope you will try it.
This is the third card in the set. A quick hint. Place the cutout eggs in the basket before adding it to the card front. Also, don't forget to stamp the grass first! The rest is in the instructions.
My alternative for this card is simple. I took the eggs out of the inside of the basket and added them to the front instead. Then I moved the tag and filled in with the stamped egg and flowers. It is a cute change to this card.
Hope you enjoyed these alternatives! K
