Here are two alternate ideas using the July kit – super easy and quick to make too. I love the challenge of creating something other than what the kit is designed for. But you may enjoy the ease of making the kit just as it is – because they are fabulous! They're also great for travel and make a super fun gift for anyone that likes crafts!

My first card was this super cute blueberry card. I used Blueberry Bushel for my card base and sponged a little Whisper White Craft ink on the edges of the die cut blueberries. The Wood Textures Designer Series Paper in the background was perfect don't you think?

I can't hardly wait to send this card out – I think I'm going to give it to my mom – she loves blueberries!

My second card was all about Strawberries! Who doesn't love them?

I used the hash tag image at the top and bottom of my Crumb Cake layer with the Soft Suede ink that came with the kit. Then I cut out the label – it was actually on the front of a 3"x 3" envelope. The big strawberries at the top and bottom were die cuts – super easy and a great little embellishment for my card. 

The whole kit just screams SUMMER! Did I tell you it's my favorite season?

Here are some snippets of the project tutorials I share with my PAPER PUMPKIN subscribers each month. You'll get a file with 8 alternate ideas for each monthly kit – GIVE IT A TRY – it's a whole lot of fun for only $10 for your first month:
