Love this month's Paper Pumpkin kit!

I just finished making my cute little treat bags from this month's Paper Pumpkin kit!

These kits are terrific!   The fringe that I put around the bags already had the adhesive tape on it - all ready to go!    Everything, I mean everything, came with the kit and it was so much fun making them!  I just had to add candy!

These would be great for kids - big or small!!  Wouldn't these bring a smile to your co-workers when they see them on their desks!   

Paper Pumpkin is a great monthly subscription craft time out!!

This month's Paper Pumpkin!

With 2 birthdays in June in my home, this kit was perfect timing!!  We all need gift packaging and birthday cards.  It's great that I could create these myself for family!

I scored off an additional 1/2" from the middle score line to create a pocket as shown below.

This is the original design with my changes above!

Don't miss out on the next one - join here by June 9th!
Have a great day!

LOVE this month's Paper Pumpkin!

I couldn't wait for my little orange box to arrive this week with April's Paper Pumpkin kit!

It was so much fun putting together the cards!  Here's a few samples....

I kept some as designed and some I embellished with leftovers from other kits!  I've already sent out most to customers with their monthly samplers for orders placed recently!!!

It was such a great little crafting break from my usual routine!

November 2014's Paper Pumpkin Kit

I just LOVED working with this month's kit...!!!  I could also use so many leftover pieces from other kits to make exciting adaptations!!

Look at all these wonderful products in this kit!!!

The kit makes 8 cards and 12 tags showing these designs

Here I've adjusted the closing for a 'pop-up' card.

This is the front of the 'pop-up' card.

The greeting hangs like a tag!  

One of my favourites...
using a tag from a previous kit I'm created a tag and/or ornament!

Here I've transformed a card base into a box for the tags!

Again using items from past kits, I've created more tags...

Here's a twist... using the negative scrap from the snowflake
die cuts...love it!

Snow, snow, snow...let it snow!

October 2014's Paper Pumpkin kit ...

The October Paper Pumpkin kit has cute pie holders for a unique party treat!

Here's some other adaptations for this month's kit!

Gift packaging for a special congratulations!

Of course --- Halloween treats!

I just squared off the point, to create party favours for a bridal or baby shower!

The August Paper Pumpkin......

I had a super day today putting my new Paper Pumpkin kit together and creating some different designs and a special calendar.

These are how the cards and little mini pouches are designed with the kit instructions:

Perfect for gift cards!

Now for some new ideas....

Added strips of cut up card base around the word
die cut 'congrats', with a piece of envelope behind the word.

 
 

I used the word die cuts as a stencil and
trimmed out a star from the mini punch cards.
From the leftovers of a cut up card base,
I punched the banners.

I backed the word 'thanks' with a piece of cut up envelope.
Everything on this card is from the kit, just
re-purposed.

A cute cube calendar - I used the card bases for the cubes,
an envelope was cut up for the mats & month holder.
Only added a strip of card for the base that wasn't included
in the kit.   The silver stars are from the July kit.

And look at the remaining pieces I can use with future kits:

I would love to see your creations from this terrific kit!!!   Post a comment with a link and share!

Thanks for dropping by today and sharing your time!

Oh I love this Paper Pumpkin kit!!!

I've delayed "Manly Monday" until tomorrow so I could share some other ways to use the July Paper Pumpkin kit.

This is a shaker card using two pieces of window sheet.
I also cut a circle from a box as the background.

I added a fine marker line between large stripes.
I cut the self-adhesive strips in half and adhered to a tag.
Then I cut the hearts in half, with adhesive side UP, and adhered
under the circle and added Dazzling Diamonds over the
adhesive.

Great idea for a small gift to a friend, co-worker or a new Mum!
I used some of the cello bags from a previous kit or our clear
envelopes will work.

I cut the envelopes in half and used a 1/16" piece of sticky strip to close.
I then cut cardbase in half and trimmed off 1/8" so the narrow cards will fit
into the envelopes.

I hope you've enjoyed this variety of projects!!

See you tomorrow for "Manly Monday"....
