Hello Stampin’ Friends ~
Today I’d like to share several cards that I created using the March 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit!! I must say this is a fun one to play with, and REFILLS are now available, however you do have to be a Paper Pumpkin subscriber to order them. I also have a fun tip to share with you.
First let me share what the cards look like in the kit … My cards are all alternatives to the kit. I like to show what you can do with it besides how they were designed. This stretches your kit out even further. The stamps you get in your kit means you have endless stamping!
My first card is simple … a little cutting and you have created a full sized card. The kit is note size card and envelopes, and I just prefer the regular A2 size. Besides, this will really stretch out my kit, so follow along and see what you can do! To view the original post for this card CLICK HERE.
My second card … uses the sentiment from the “Good Morning Magnolia” stamp set and the pre-cut boots and hearts that come with the kit. Pretty simple right? For the background I used the So Very Vellum cardstock that is FREE through the Sale-a-Bration catalog.
My next card uses more boots … and features the “Soft Sea Foam” Vellum. These boots come from the strip of boots that are used for the middle card, I just cut them apart so I could create even more cards. We are practicing “Social Distancing” while we support each other.

I cut apart the base of one of the note cards to create this one … The die cut circle and blue banner are elements included in the Paper Pumpkin kit, as is the sentiment I used on this card. Fitting for our current situation, don’t you think?
Here are the supplies that I used for today’s cards. Paper Pumpkin is a great option for stamping while we have to be apart 😦 Plus … when purchasing the any of the Subscriptions listed below … you qualify for FREE Sale-a-bration items!
The next card highlights more of the die cuts from the kit … The background is the Purple Posy So Very Vellum which creates the background for our card. From the Paper Pumpkin kit, I have yet another set of boots, and I picked some pretty flowers from the elements to place into them. Our cute bunny helps to create the perfect Easter Card …
The Oval background was cut with the largest oval from the Stitched Shapes Dies. This really creates a focal point to the card. I added the “Easter Blessings” greeting which comes from teh Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set. It was stamped on a scrap piece of paper and then I simply cut it to create a banner.

My final card includes a fun stamping tip ….
On my final card I combined the Under My Umbrella Bundle from the Spring Mini Catalog and our March 2020 “No Matter the Weather” Paper Pumpkin. I used the pink envelope for my background and combined it with Smoky Slate … so pretty together.
The umbrella was stamped with Smoky Slate onto the left over paper from the envelope, and then punched with the coordinating umbrella punch. Both of these were popped up onto the die cut piece. The die cut comes from the Stitched so Sweetly dies. The greeting sentiment is from the Under My Umbrella stamp set and was stamped with the Smoky Slate and also die cut from the Stitched to Sweetly dies. View the original post by CLICKING HERE.
