The Paper Pumpkin February 2016 is really spawning a lot of cards for me. I’m having so much fun playing with the kit – and I’ve been saving the actual kit itself to play with my friends in a couple of days. And even so, I’ve made a lot of cards with it. Here’s a card using one of the spare embellishments and a few of the extra leaves.

I put the embellishment on very vanilla and added a few of the leaves to the card. I then stamped the sentiment (from the same kit’s stamp set) in pear pizzazz. Next I had to wait several days for the pearl embellishments to arrive! They turned up with the new Sale-a-bration items on Wednesday night. It’s amazing how exciting it is to get a box from Stampin’ Up! When my pearls arrived I added three of the biggest to the flower and then glued this to a pear pizzazz base. The envelope is unusual – I finally managed to put glue on the side of all the words and actually display the larger dots. The designer series paper stacks are incredibly useful for envelope lining as well as for using on cards.

See you tomorrow,
