June Paper Pumpkin

The June Paper Pumpkin kit had such a pretty box I had to include it in the picture of the cards as they were designed for the kit.  

Here is the layout I chose to make using the items in the kit along with just a few other items.  

My background card stock is Smoky Slate and I also die cut a piece of Basic White to use as an accent.  Each of the rest of the pieces along with the stamps are in the kit although I added Polished Pink and Fresh Freesia ink...

I cut the die cut leaves into pieces before I added them behind the photo mats.

Tomorrow I will share the alternative cards I put together.  

Don't forget to sign up for this month's kit!  You can do so right here.

October Paper Pumpkin Alternative Layout

This week I am going to share a lot of Paper Pumpkin projects, using the October kit as well as pieces from past kits. The first photo is of the October kit cards as they were designed.  

I cut down a few of the items in the kit to created a 12" x 12" layout on a piece of Cherry Cobbler card stock.  The photo mats are one of the card bases cut in two pieces.

The piece behind the "joy" element is part of the inside of an envelope that was cut up, I used the rest of it for a card I will share with you tomorrow.

May Paper Pumpkin Alternative Layout

I put together this layout using the pieces from the May Paper Pumpkin kit along with a 12" x 12" piece of Misty Moonlight card stock and a 5 1/4" x 7 1/4" piece of Daffodil Delight card stock.

The rest of the pieces are either cards or envelopes that I cut down or original pieces from the kit.

October Paper Pumpkin Layout Idea

This is a fairly simple 12" x 12" scrapbook layout using some elements from the October Paper Pumpkin kit.  I began with an Early Espresso base and added some Shaded Spruce and Pool Party card stock.

There are some snowflakes stamped on the side of the layout - the image is from the kit...and I added a couple die cuts using the Pretty Peacock foil sheets and Stitched Rectangles framelits along with a piece of Feels Like Frost specialty paper.

The Pool Party photo mat is 5 1/4" x 7 1/4"...

October Paper Pumpkin Alternative Cards

The first card in the pictures is the way the kit was designed for us.  The pictures make it difficult to see, but the snow and trees are shimmery white...

I added Pool Party and Early Espresso card stock bases for the two cards below as well as some die cuts using the Stitched Rectangles and Stitched Labels framelits.  The sentiment on the card on the right is from Itty Bitty Christmas.

A few similar variations on the next two...

And finally one using some Feels Like Frost specialty paper and Pretty Peacock foil sheets along with a small piece of Come to Gather designer series paper.

Paper Pumpkin Alternative Layout

As promised, I have an alternative project idea for you using the September Paper Pumpkin kit today (and tomorrow)...the first picture is of the little goodie boxes that the kit is designed for - it will make 20 goodie boxes...

I cut down a box for a card that you will see tomorrow and had some parts of it left so I used it on the 12" x 12" scrapbook layout below as well.  In addition to the pieces from the kit, I added some Mercury Glass designer acetate and Noble Peacock Foil Sheets in the background and Smoky Slate and Basic Gray card stock.

Tomorrow I will have a couple card ideas for you...
