February Paper Pumpkin and Weekly Deals 8 March 2016

I truly enjoyed the February paper Pumpkin Kit. The colors were wonderful and it got me in such a mood for spring. We have really short winters in North Texas and this winter has been especially mild. Spring is here. The Bradford Pear trees have bloomed and my grass has been cut and it ready for a second visit by the lawn mower. It is time to start watering the yard and placing new flowers in my pots.

Paper Pumpkin makes it so easy to be creative. The best part is you never know what you get until it arrives, each month it is a big SURPRISE! Once my make one or two cards and or paper crafts (items vary month to month) according to the enclosed instructions and then I let the creative juices take over. I came up with these two alternative cards to share with you.

Once I saw this sketch I immediately knew I had to use the Serene Silhouettes stamp set. It has been one of my favorites and it goes nicely with Wild Wasabi. This is a very easy card to put together and it can be used for almost any occasion. Standard card size, 4 1/4" x 5 1/2", with first layer cut at 4 x 5 1/4 and embossed with Decorative Dots. The accent piece is from the All Blooms DSP (retired)measures 1 1/4" by 3 1/2". I used Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the Serene Silhouette image and finished it off with some Wild Wasabi 1/2" seam binding.
