Here are the other cards I made with the kit.  Actually I am holding two back as they are being sent to people who are on here and I want them to get them before  post them.

A quick post for you today...only thing added from yesterday is paper snips.  Oh one card uses dies instead...I forgot!

The mermaids tomorrow and Friday! 

Good bye August and all the amazing summer 🌞weather that came along with you! 
I will miss you 😢

The only good news about the weather changing is that I will be getting back to crafting--I do miss it over the summer but our summers are so short here that I just can't get myself to spend any time inside if I don't have to! 

Due to some rain the other day I decided it is about time to get back at it.  I chose to start off with the newest Paper Pumpkin  Kit--which is kind of strange because I think that is what I left off with in July! 

I made 10 cards with the kit then felt like doing a bit more so I made two more with the awesome mermaid set!  Can't wait to share those with you all but it will have to wait a little bit as I want to share some of these cards first.  (sorry)

One of the things I really love about the Paper Pumpkin Kit is that it gets me  to use things I normally would not.  I kind of feel like it is cheating with these kits because they do  all the designing for you--makes it so easy  to make quick and beautiful cards.  So what I like to do is change the up just a bit--I don't like to add much because I want you to see that they can be changed up  with very limited supplies--this time I think I only added two pieces of card stock and one more color ink pad.  And I have 10 cards that are all just a bit different --since I do not EVER like to make the same card twice, lol. 

So here are 5 of the 10 cards today--I will show you the other 5 tomorrow--how does that sound?






Just small changed on all of them but just enough to keep me feeling like I am creating a bit, lol.  You may not be  able to see the awesome vellum leaves that were in the kit.  They were really fun to play with--and I have quite a few extras to play with at another time--WIN!

Stop back tomorrow to see what happens when I add a pair of paper snips to the mix!

Thanks for stopping I hope to see you again soon.

Since we already have this month's Paper Pumpkin kit I think I should probably share the rest of the designs I made with last month's.  Yes!  I know I am a bit behind, been enjoying the summer with my family and forgetting to share.  Sorry.  (kinda)

Here are four more card designs I made with last months kits.  If you missed the first two you can view them HERE.

I really did have fun with this kit which is strange because I usually don't like kits that use stickers.  But this one was a good one.  It also matched the set in the Broadway Suite from the catalog....

I used only the kit for my projects along with a black pad and black marker....

I had fun playing around with this month's paper pumpkin kit.  I did not make the projects that they designed for us--I always have to be different, lol.  So I made my own designs.  I actually have six made so far but I am only going to share the two that are getting mailed out today for my Monday Mailer.  I will show you the rest another day--maybe Wednesday??!!

So the first card is for a friend's birthday.  It is not someone that I normally send birthday cards to but this is a milestone one so I thought it would be a nice surprise!

How fun are those cakes?  It is fun to play around with these kits because everything you need is included except for a block and I added a black marker and ink pad.  Just because--everyone has that.  I did not want to add anything else though so that my Paper Pumpkin customers can re-create these cards I made without having lots of other supplies.  So I hope my friend who is turning 50 likes this card.

Here is one more card from the kit that I made for a friend of my son's who jut graduated!  So proud of him.  One more year for my son--he should have been graduating with this group but I held him back in second grade--so one more year.  Anyway, here is the card I am sending to him.


I thought I would show you the cards that were supposed to be made with the kit--because they are pretty awesome too.



Here are the supplies used....you can join the Paper Pumpkin kit club anytime and pick and chose the months you want to get!  If you don't want it next month just let them know.  Then start again the following month!  I love the surprise each month so I NEVER say no!

So it is not really my style but I thought I would sit down and make them right now--and see how I could change it up a bit.  But still use what was in the kit.  I have to say I have lots of left over items to use on other projects!  Here are my cards....

And here is how Stampin Up did them...

Here are the cards individually....



As I said at the beginning--not my normal style--but fun all the same.  I think the extra gift of in color embellishments was a real plus!  Super cool--I have lots of left overs too.  So are you a Paper Pumpkin Subscriber?  If not now is the time to try it out, you can get a set of In-Color markers for free with you new subscription.  Here is some more details for you...
