I was so excited to receive this month's Paper Pumpkin in the mail! Stampin' Up! designers gave us an amazing sneak peek at this month's kit. Here it is if you missed it.

I made one of each card following the directions in the kit - or at least trying to. My creativity always gets the best of me and I can never follow the directions word for word. Can you blame me??? The Paper Pumpkin kits come with so many amazing products to play with!
Here are some of my alternative cards. I really liked a lot of supplies in the kit, so a lot of these use the same products, just in a different way.
This first card uses the patterned white card base and the vellum sheet. I cut the succulent background cardstock into three strips - 1 x 3 1/4" (2) and 1 x 3 3/4". I stamped the sentiment in Mint Macaron ink on the included white strip and added a bow with the black twine.
This next card is a slight variation using the black card base, vellum sheet, gray layer and "YOU" succulent image. I cut the white strip shorter and layered it with Fresh Fig. A black twine bow completes this card.
I brought in the Wood Textures designer series paper for the background with a Mint Macaron card base. I fussy cut around the succulent image and added it to the card with dimensionals.
I love using this technique, especially with designer series paper. I took the succulent cardstock, placed it in my paper trimmer on an angle and cut. I glued them to a Mint Macaron card base, leaving a space in between. I stamped the sentiment in Fresh Frig.
I had so much fun making this card! I love this striped card base, but I didn't love it with the succulents. I punched out Lemon Lime Twist and Mint Macaron cardstock with the 2 1/4" circle punch. I also took one of the vellum sheets and punched out another circle. I layered the circles and added some of the included cardstock strips and embellishments.
One of the great things about Paper Pumpkin is it's all-inclusive - you get everything you need. But there's always coordinating Stampin' Up! products you can buy to make even more projects!
Paper snips scissors are perfect for trimming your ribbon, twine, and paper.
- It's always good to have multiple adhesives on hand. Liquid glue can pretty much be used on anything and gives you the freedom to move your paper around a little bit before it dries.
- Your Paper Pumpkin kit comes with glue dots, but why not have a whole roll! These are great for ribbon, twine, embellishments and so much more.
- Snail adhesive, like liquid glue, can pretty much be used on everything. But, it's mess-free! And super easy to use.
- The Simply Shammy is the easiest way to clean your stamps and keep them in good condition for many years to come
