Paper Pumpkin Club - 5 Year Anniversary Kit - May Good Things Grow

Another relaxing Sunday with my Paper Pumpkin Club! We got together to make some cards from the March Kit - May Good Things Grow, with the special anniversary surprise gift, and I had a special gift for them too!

May Good Things Grow - March Paper Pumpkin Kit

5 year Anniversary gift - Wood Embellishments Pack

The kit this month had beautiful vintage feel, floral die cuts, and a pretty stamp set. The extra gift celebrating 5 years of Paper Pumpkin was a large package of wood embellishments with a floral theme. Perfect to add some dimension and texture to your card making.

8 cards with coordinating envelopes

My gift was the supplies to make a couple cards using the March stamp set, along with some sheets of the Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Paper from the Occasions Catalog. with just some simple additions, you can create so many more cards! (See the paper in my store HERE)

Gift for my subscribers at our Paper Pumpkin Club Meeting

The first card we made used similar colors to the kit cards, but just a simple note card and quick stamping gives you a quick and easy card. Great to make a few and have on hand. 

Yes, Different orientation, but same idea ;-)

Using a spot of the Designer Paper to step up your card.

The second card used a piece of that DSP I gave my subscribers, with a little extra ribbon - there was ALOT of extra ribbon in this kit! Colored with their watercolor pencils from the Occasions Kit Lots of Happy (you can see that craft night HERE) and some fussy cutting of the stamped flowers and leaves, they created a CASEd version of the kit card.

The Paper Pumpkin kits come with everything you need to make the project of the month, but with some easy and inexpensive add ons, you can build your supplies to make more creative and beautiful cards to share with your friends and family.

I'll add in some photos of my alternate cards made with the kit supplies, along with MORE ways to use that great stamp set! Check out THIS POST.

Finally - remember to take advantage of the 50% OFF YOUR FIRST TWO MONTHS special offer on Paper Pumpkin!! Its a deal - and if you are local I would love to have you join us for our Paper Pumpkin Club!

Happy Crafting!

Paper Pumpkin Club - February Wildflower Wishes

This kit was awesome! ((I loved the Celebrate card with the "your awesomeness" tag)) LOL
I can see myself using the stamps again on other projects. In fact, I brought a few to share!! These are NOT alternates, I made them using the Memories and More Petal Garden set, a really economical way to get a variety of images to mix with your stamp sets. Add in a pack of Note Cards, and Boom! Cards for Days!

Hello Sweet Friend - Wildflower Wishes Paper Pumpkin Feb 2018

You'll notice that I used the notecards for most of these, but I also had some where I did some "stepped up" cards using the gold accents and other ink colors with colored card stock.

 But the point of showing the different versions is to share how easy it is to get a variety of cards with minimal supplies. Note cards, your Paper Pumpkin Kit Stamps, and one of the Memories & More packs. It's easy :-)))

You can see the Memories and More Petal Garden Pack HERE
and don't forget the get some Note Cards HERE - easy way to make a bunch of cards any time you need them!

My Paper Pumpkin Club is held near the end of each month, to allow for the kits to arrive, and we spend the afternoon making the kit and chit-chatting.  This is a FREE event for my Paper Pumpkin Subscribers. Come join us by signing up for your own Paper Pumpkin Monthly Subscription! Check on Facebook for the next dates,
--- or try out one of my Preview Nights where you can make a card from the current kit and get more information about Paper Pumpkin.

February's kit arrived with some pretty dang cute flower cards, with gorgeous envelopes, and TONS of extras after we made the kits. At my Paper Pumpkin Club we agreed: this was such a pretty kit!!

Wildflower Wishes - February 2018 Paper Pumpkin

The kit came with everything you needed to complete the 9 cards, 3 of each greeting, and once we were done, OH MY GOSH!! We had a ton of the floral stickers left. Plenty to use with the stamp set on other projects.

Here's whats included in the Memories and More Petal Garden Pack - A great deal at only $10, and seriously - order TWO packs of Note Cards, this will let you make AT LEAST 30 cards!!

I'd love to show you some more ways to use your Paper Pumpkin Kit stamps, they're really the best part of your Kit! ;-) 

Happy Crafting!
