Paper Pumpkin February 2021

Have you ever tried Paper Pumpkin

Wonder what it is?

It's a monthly subscription kit offered by Stampin' UP

You get it around the 15th of the month

It varies on themes per month, and is always fun to put together

We had been doing a monthly get-together called "Paper Pumpkin Outside the Box", but covid came along and we can't meet together

So......this last week a few of got together and I was able to put together both February and March kits

I'll share February here and check back tomorrow for March

I purchase a minimum of two kits per month

The first kit I put together just as the directions say

Here's the cards from February's Kit -Bouquet of Hope

This kit included enough to make 9 cards - 3 each of the above designs

Everything you need to make your cards including envelopes to mail them in

For the 2nd kit, I like to make "alternatives"

Here's 12 cards I made changing everything up

I added some extra card stock and that really was all!

Always fun to do other ideas!

Hostess Gifts - Hydrangea Suite

I love making card gifts for my hostesses

This month I made this great folder (from one sheet of !2" x 12" Designer Series Paper)

And I made 4 cards for the inside

The Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper is SO beautiful 

You definitely don't want to miss out on this paper

One of the designs (two sheets) has flowers on two sides and you can cut it and have six card fronts

This is what I made the cards out of.

SO quick and easy!  

I used the Happy Thoughts sentiment stamp set!!

 

I plan to do a facebook live this week sometime and show you how to make the folder

I DID it!!  Click here to see my facebook live

First I showed how to coordinate colors
