August Paper Pumpkin Layout Idea

One final August Paper Pumpkin alternative project idea for you - a 12" x 12" layout using Bumblebee card stock as the base and Pacific Point and Early Espresso card stock layers.

I also added a small piece of Gold Foil as well as a piece of the same foil that is in the kit.

Here again are the original designs that the kit artists created.

August Paper Pumpkin Card Alternatives

Finally I am getting around to sharing the August Paper Pumpkin kit with you!  We are now fully into potato harvest so the posts are going to be a little sporadic...I will try to make sure there are a few each week!

The picture above shows the cards as designed (for the most part!).  Below are a few alternative ideas using different card stock for bases and accents.

Each one of the alternative ideas uses lots of the pieces from the original kit.

September Stamp Club Projects

This month's stamp club projects use lots of different colors, patterns and stamp sets covering both the holiday catalog and the idea book.  

The layout uses the Poinsettia Place designer series paper and I chose to use lots of the different patterns in both the background papers and also the punched circles.

The first card uses the Forever Fern stamp set and Forever Greenery designer series paper, I used colors coordinating with the designer paper with the exception of the Highland Heather stamped images.

Next, we used the Press On stamp set and Tin Tile folder along with the Tasteful Labels dies for the thank you card.

And finally, a bonus single layer card using the In the Pines stamp set.

We always have room for and welcome new friends to stamp club, if you are interested you can email me here.
