I’m really excited to share my next alternative project with you! From the comments and the “pins” you really liked the Gold Leaf card, I do to but this card is full of color and gold and I think it’s my favorite so far!!
Stunning… right! I just love all the layers of leaves … and they are all included in the kit! I pulled apart one of the envelopes and cut it into 3″ x 1″ strips, then I stamped the greeting on a left-over piece and punched it out with a 1-1/2″ circle punch … then layer. Viola!!
Incredible dimension is created by simply layer the leaves … no dimensionals were needed.
Many of you have asked how you can get this kit … Well, you need to be a Paper Pumpkin subscriber. If you sign up before the 10th of October, you will be able to purchase many of the past kits (hopefully including this one) Plus there are refills that you can also purchase!!

Today I’m bringing the color back to our September 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit … Old Olive, Crushed Curry and Tangerine Tango to be exact!
I had these cute little leaves left over from my kit so I had to do something with them. I was inspired by greenery that is “framed” as artwork for the home.
This simple card just takes the 3 different colors in 1-1/2″ x 3″ strips that were mounted onto a 4-3/4″ x 3-1/4″ Soft Suede mat. The greeting taken from the stamps included in the kit and stamped in Cajun Craze … also included in the September 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit.
I could not resist incorporating the beautiful “Layered Leaves” 3-D Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder … it coordinates so nicely and gives your card a great texture.
WOW … how simple was this card to make, and perfect for the upcoming fall season.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Besides the Paper Pumpkin kit, I have a list of additional supplies below.
Today I have an alternative project from the September 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit … and it has a totally different vibe than the projects included! That my friends is the amazing part of Paper Pumpkin!!
I began with the “scrap” piece … the left over piece from the leaf I used yesterday, I simply cut around it creating a new leaf! It was too pretty to throw away!
Then I took the “note card” and cut it in half turning it into a perfect 3 x 3 square. The note card is also embossed with the same pretty design that is on the pillow box. Then I added a 3-1/8″ x 3-1/8″ white mat and then a 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″ Gold Foil paper.
The greeting comes from the Paisley’s and Posies stamp set and was heat embossed with the Gold Embossing Powder on a piece of 4″ x 5-1/4″ Whisper White cardstock. This was mounted on a folded 1/i2 sheet of Soft Suede which coordinated nicely with the embossed piece.
I added a Gold bow and popped up the “top” of the leaf and the square that it is mounted on … this card has a touch of elegance! Who knew you could do this with this kit … a little imagination is all it takes. Sharing ideas is how we all have fun creating cards and projects.
Hope you enjoyed today’s card, I will be back again tomorrow with another design from this fabulous kit!
A little late in my posting but I couldn’t miss a Simply Sunday post! And what could be simpler than a stamping kit …. and what could be simpler than a kit that comes delivered right to your door (or mailbox)! Paper Pumpkin is the monthly stampin’ kit I’m referring to.
Here are all the goodies that are included in the September 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit … What’s really nice is that when you are done making the projects, there are always left overs … not to mention a Stamp Set and an Ink Spot!! Definitely worth the money … but the surprise each month is priceless.
Included in this months kit are 8 Gift Cards with matching envelopes and 8 Pillow Boxes … complete with score lines and this beautiful pattern.
The Pillow Box is what I was playing with today. Yesterday I showed you the video which shared the Stampin’ Up! creations. I have altered it somewhat …
I changed the pattern of the leaves because I made a little boo-boo on my main leaf … so as we all do, I changed it up a bit. I also placed my bouquet of leaves horizontally instead of vertically because I wanted to showcase the beautiful embossed Pillow Box as much as I could.
I also used the long tag verses the round one that Stampin’ Up! showed us in the instructions. I just wish the picture would have picked up the colors better … this looks a bit dull. I will need to work on my lighting!
I will be back all this week with more alternatives to the September 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit. Wonder how you can still get this kit? Sign up for Paper Pumpkin now, and you will be eligible to purchase past kits … including this one!

In fact, there are tons of things you could do to add your own touch. Go crazy!
Options include creating a fun bellyband—as you see here on the Thinking of You card—or make your own designed paper using the flower image from the stamp set. Check out the gorgeous sympathy card for inspiration.
With this kit, the possibilities are truly endless. And that’s one of the things we love about Paper Pumpkin.

Today’s card will showcase yet another pattern from our Spooky Night Designer Series paper (actually 2 patterns!) and the new Labels to Love stamp set found on page 45 of the Holiday Catalog. The stamp set coordinates with the Everyday Label Punch found on page 12.
I couldn’t resist using this fun polka dot pattern … but don’t just keep it for Halloween, this paper can be used for any occasion. The cute little pumpkins are actually from the flip side of the polka dot paper.
The greeting was stamped with Memento ink on Very Vanilla cardstock. I punched it out and then trimmed it down. I punched 2 more labels from Paper Pumpkin cardstock… one to mat the greeting and the second I flipped vertical and attached 2 black rhinestones to it.
With the help of the Everyday Label punch, Labels to Love stamp set and the cute Spooky Night Designer Series paper, it was easy to create this quick -n- cute card!
Thanks so much for sharing your Sunday with me.
Take time to relax this weekend ~

Yesterday I shared a video that showed the new Designer Papers from the Holiday Catalog … Nice, right! We’ll today I want to share one of those designer papers with you …
Potions, pumpkins, witches’ hats, cats, and eerie trees; this Halloween-themed Designer Series Paper has it all!
Spooky Nights Designer Series paper is the heart of this card. Let’s start with the fun background … this cute paper sure lets you know what holiday it’s trying to get across! We’ll the other side has a nice stripped pattern and was used as the small banner that has our greeting.
The spooky little kitty is actually designer paper too! And has a coordinating punch!! And, of course the stamp set was designed to coordinate as well!! WOW!!! Oh yes, and our larger banner is the backside of the kitty!
I did use the Spooky Cat Bundle to help me create this card – so easy and fun! You can either stamp a cat image or punch it right from the designer paper. The cat punch so far is a BIG hit!
I used the 2″ Circle Punch and So Saffron cardstock to create my moon, which really creates a focal point for my cat. I added a sassy little hat to my kitty which is also another pattern from the designer paper.
To finish it off… I added a Black Rhinestone to anchor my banners and one to the hat to add a bit more sass! A few dimensionals to pop up my kitty and the card is complete.
I hope you enjoyed my Halloween card as much as I enjoyed making it. I being sharing more from this spooky little in the future!
HOW COOL IS THAT!! Two coordinating kits! However, they work fine as stand alone kits. Give it a test drive and join us for the fun!!
