Paper Pumpkin Friday - July 2015 Alt Card - Thanks A Latte

Oh my, I am so happy to make this post.  I have waited a year to get my hands on the July 2015 Paper Pumpkin kit, Thanks A Latte. I skipped ordering last July and boy, did I regret it.  I just adore this little stamp set and I do love a latte on occasion, so I was truly happy when I won it on EBay.  Now I need to find a refill. LOL!!

All the cards are modifications of the original project.  On a few I added an orange corrugated  layer from the May 2016 Paper Pumpkin kit, Many Manly Occasions.  I really like that corrugated cardstock it adds great texture to any project.    I also layered one with just Basic Grey, another with Basic Grey and Tangerine Tango, and one other with Wild Wasabi cardstock and ribbon.  The box I made with 12 x 12 Basic Black cardstock using the envelop punch board.  It only took me one time to get the box  together following instructions I found on YouTube -- usually it takes.   I really enjoyed this kit.  Can't wait to see what is in my July 2016 kit.  I love surprises.

 I gifted this set to my neighbor as a "Thank-you" for some lovely aprons she made me and my daughter.  She is a talented seamstress and I adore my new aprons.  My daughter took her apron on vacation with us to South Dakota.

Paper Pumpkin Friday - October 2015 Alt Cards - Blissful Bouquet - Thanks!

Finally, I am getting around to sharing cards I made from past Paper Pumpkin kits.  A kit I truly enjoyed was the October 2015 Blissful Bouquet kit.  Here are two alternate cards I made from the kit. I made several but failed to get any pictures of them before I gave them away.  It was easy to create additional cards with this kit.

We usually do not get to preview the Paper Pumpkin kits before they arrive but we did the get a sneak peek at the May  Many Manly Occasions kit from the Stampin' Up!! On-Stage convention photos.  Let's say that I was very eager for this kit to arrive so I could play.  The stamp set does not disappoint it is perfect font size and great sentiments. Personally, I think the stamps are the best part of each monthly kit. Today I am sharing two alternative cards I made for Father's Day.
