More Paper Pumpkin Cards - Season Of Gratitude

Here are two more cards I made with the October Paper Pumpkin Kit, Season of Gratitude.  I still have a few more to make using all the lovely leaves that came in the kit.  I love that everything you need is in the kit, as well as directions to complete the project.  For this kit I made all 8 cards as directed.  Yes, the kit contained enough material for 8 cards.  Stamp set, ink block, card base and envelope, twine, foam layering strips and dimensionals, glue dots, die cut shapes, all for $19.99 plus tax.  Shipping is free. 

The card above is altered slightly from the original instructions.  I cut two labels using Lots of Labels die set in Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry.  Added stamp and twine to the layers to completed the card.  The card below is an awesome Autumn card, instructions are provided.  
 
 
  1. Start with a Crumb Cake base measuring 5 1/2 x 4 1/4.
  2. Cut Crumb Cake layer 3 3/4 x 5, attached 1 x 5 piece cut from kit envelope.
  3. Stamp sentiment on 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 Very Vanilla CS with Early Espresso and sponge edges  with Soft Suede.  Attached to Crumb Cake base.
  4. Added some linen thread, left over from another PP kit.
  5. Colored three leaves with Cherry Cobbler, Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Soft Suede. Attached with Dimensionals and added Clear Wink of Stella to each leaf. 
  6. Randomly placed a few sequins from kit and all finished.

Paper Pumpkin Alternative Card - Season of Gratitude

First of all I must say, I really like the Season of Gratitude, October Paper Pumpkin kit.  I love the color, the leaves, the sequin colors (usually not a big sequin fan), etc.  Overall it is a fantastic kit.  I made up all the cards as directed with a few changes and I made this alternate card I made with the  some of the many left over leaves.  This card was inspired by a post on FB from Ann Aylor.  Since the cards will not fit in the envelopes provided I cut them up to use in alternative cards.  Here is my first one.

  •  Start with Crumb Cake card base measuring 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
  • Use Tear and Tapet to attach a 7 inch strip of Burlap Ribbon to 5 1/4 x 4 Crumb Cake layer 
  • Attach Crumb Cake layer to card base with Stampin Dimensionals 
  • Sponge a  2 3/4 x 3 piece of Very Vanilla card stock with Cajun Craze ink
  • Cut a 3 x 3 1/4 accent piece from kit envelope, attach Very Vanilla piece with glue
  • Stamp 2 acorn on scrap card stock with chocolate chip and cut out
  • Pick three leaves and sponge them with Cajun Craze and Delightful Dijon, finish off by stamping with background stamp from kit
  • Use Glue Dots to adhere leaves, bow and sequins
  • Stamps sentiment on Delightful Dijon banner from kit, attach with Fast Fuse and Dimensionals
  • All done!!
I love the surprise I get every month with Paper Pumpkin.  This kit is exceptional, perfect for Fall.  Perhaps you will join me.  Check out the links below to order your Paper Pumpkin kit for next month.
