A Paper Pumpkin Thank you!

March 7, 2018

Some of these products came from the February Paper Pumpkin

This card was created with the help of our Monthly Subscription kit "Paper Pumpkin." Paper Pumpkin is like receiving a surprise in the mail each month. It is a kit with all the products and the instructions to make whatever is inside. Most of the time it is a set of cards. Occasionally it is a 3-dimensional item. We never know what it is until we get it. In February we some of received the products used to make this cute card. It is not the card that was intended for this kit. I like to take it apart and use it for other ideas. I used One Big Meaning stamp set to create a Thank You card.

MEASUREMENTS:
Whisper White - 4 1/4 x 11 (scored at 5 1/2), 3 1/8 x 4 1/2
Flirty Flamingo - 4 x 5 1/4
Paper Pumpkin - 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 (Black)
Basic Black - 1 1/8 x 2
Vellum - 1 x 3
Sweet Soiree DSP - 5/8 x 3 1/2

In Color Enamel Shapes - I found out after using these that they had retired. They were available last year so if you have some laying around this is a good time to use them. No wonder they were such a good price when I purchased them.

If you have been following me you know that I love the Berry Burst Metallic Edge ribbon that came out recently. Well here is a way to have every color with that metallic edge!! Purchase a roll of the Whisper White with Silver edge ##144213 or the Very Vanilla with the Gold edge #144146 and use either the Stampin' Blends (which are alcohol based makers) or the Stampin' Write Markers (which is what I used here) and color the ribbon. The markers take a little longer to dry so if you plan ahead you could color today and attach the bow tomorrow or before you send the card. This ribbon works so well for this technique!

Happy Stamping!

Create a sweet and elegant birthday card with the July 2026 Paper Pumpkin – Hooray for Birthdays kit! For this alternate design, I paired the soft pastel plaid patterns in a simple pinwheel layout on a Basic Black card base, creating a striking contrast that really makes the delicate florals stand out. The layered die-cut flowers are arranged on a stitched circle with a touch of gold cord tucked behind for added texture and elegance. A simple Happy Birthday sentiment finishes the design, making this card perfect for celebrating someone special. This easy alternate project is a wonderful way to stretch your Paper Pumpkin kit supplies and create a beautiful card with a fresh, modern look. The Hooray for Birthdays kit features gorgeous floral elements and coordinating embellishments, making it easy to create unique birthday cards you'll love to give.
