No Matter the Weather Alternative Projects for March 2020 Paper Pumpkin
No Matter the Weather
Hello Paper Crafters!! I did it!! I made my first Facebook Live. It was somewhat stressful but it went really well and now I wonder why I put it off. The subject of my Facebook Live was alternative projects for the March Paper Pumpkin kit. This kit was a lot of fun to play with. I love the color palette and the images. Did you know that this kit came with 2 stamp sets? To celebrate Paper Pumpkin being 7 years old this kit came with a free stamp set called Spring Splash.
The Video for No Matter the Weather
Facebook Live: No Matter the Weather
During the Facebook Live I made 3 cards using stamps, ink and paper (#simplestamping) only. Check it out below. The first 7 people to leave a comment on my video will receive one of the cards I made as a gift from me.
This kit screams SPRING! Everything from the images (flowers, raindrops, clouds, bunnies & rainboots), uplifting sentiments and color palette. The projects here use only items in the kit. I feel it’s important to provide alternate projects that don’t require you to have anything extra. I do however have a Bonus Project that uses extra card stock and ink pads.
The Color Palette
Recipe: Paper. Images. Embellishments.

The Projects:
No Matter the Weather Paper Pumpkin
Card 1: I believe in you
- Rain Ripples: Stamp the rain ripples in Basic Gray using the stamping off technique (ink stamp, stamp image, don’t reink stamp, stamp again) which gives you a light and dark gray image.
- Bunny: Stamp in Basic Gray.
- Clouds: Use the smaller cloud with Basic Gray ink. Stamp off each time on scratch paper then stamp on your card for lighter version of clouds than kit sample. I stamped each cloud twice. Add epoxy raindrops.
- Sentiment: Stamp sentiment in Basic Gray onto the Balmy Blue Banner and add a raindrop. Attach with Dimensionals.
No Matter the Weather
Card 2: You are capable of amazing things
- Grass: Use the stamping off technique to stamp the grass in Basic Gray. I did a row of grass along the printed grass, then used the stamping off technique to create a taller row of grass. Use the mud stamp (speckled one) with Basic Gray ink and the stamping off technique to blend the grasses.
- Sentiment: Stamp with Basic Gray ink onto the Petal Pink Banner. Wrap the twine around each end of the banner twice and attach to the back with Glue Dots. Attach the banner with Dimensionals.
- Rainboots: Attach with Dimensionals.
No Matter the Weather
Card 3: Wishing you brighter days ahead
- Stamped images: Stamp the door with Basic Gray ink in the top right corner and the flower pot next to the bottom left corner of the door.
- Sentiment: Stamp in Basic Gray ink onto a Balmy Blue banner. Attach a heart with a Glue Dot and then attach the banner with Dimensionals.
- Die cut images: Attach the bunny under the door with Dimensionals. Attach the flowers with Dimensionals above the flower pot and overlapping the left side of the door. Tip: You are trying to hide the missing parts of the door.
No Matter the Weather
Card 4: Boots & Bunny Bonus Card
- Rain Ripples: Use Basic Gray ink and the stamping off technique.
- Grass: Use Pear Pizzazz ink and the stamping off technique.
- Cloud: Use Balmy Blue ink.
- Sentiment: Use Balmy Blue ink on Whisper White card stock.
- Rainboots: Stamp the outline image with Calypso Coral ink and stamp the flower print in Grapefruit Grove on Whisper White card stock. Cut out image.
- Bunny: Stamp in Basic Gray ink on Whisper White card stock. Cut out image.
- Flowers: Stamp a cluster of flowers on Whisper White CS with Calypso Coral and Grapefruit Grove ink. Cut out image.
- Attach the sentiment with Mini Dimensionals. Use Dimensionals to the attach the boots and then place the bunny inside of the boot with a Dimensional. The flowers are attached with Dimensionals on top of the left boot.

Storage Ideas for Paper Pumpkin Stamp Sets
- You can also build a very nice collection of stamp sets. Depending on how much room you have for storing stamp sets, we have three sizes of stamp cases to choose from. I recommend the Clear Mount stamp case. You can fit a stamp set per case and download the insert (shows the stamp set, name and photo of finished projects) which makes finding the stamp set you need easy. If you are short on space you can fit 8 in a Full Wide case. You can also fit 8 in the Half Wide case, but some of the stamp sets are a little too wide and can only fit in the Full Wide case.
- Here is the March 2020 Stamp Case Insert Download: No Matter the Weather & Spring Splash.
