Thank You!

This is a card I made to say Thank YOU for being a friend!  If you've visited my blog for the last few days, you've seen a variety of cards I made using our February Paper Pumpkin kit.  I so enjoy the many friendships I've made and hope you will come visit me at the Branson Mill Craft Village where I like to play!



These kits come with all the supplies -- I just add more to them!  For today's card, I added the word, Thank (from Delightful Daisy stamp set)  to help emphasize the word "YOU."  

I appreciate each of you that come to visit me whether in person or on my blog. 

Happy Crafting,

Desiree'

February Paper Pumpkin

You may ask, "Why is she posting alternative Paper Pumpkin cards?"  Well, our Paper Pumpkin kits are celebrating their sixth birthday this month, March.  If you sign up before the 10th of March, you will receive this cute little red box (sometimes they are a different color) and inside are supplies to make cards or crafts.  It arrives each month with all the supplies you need to make the project.  It does vary and you don't always know what you're getting.  

But this kit makes it great to create on the go -- traveling and crafting made easy -- all in one box!

Did I mention if you sign up before March 10th, you will get TWO stamp sets in your kit?  Yes, Paper Pumpkin is celebrating their birthday and providing us with an extra stamp set.  And this month's kit is all about BIRTHDAYS.  So if you need birthday cards, and who doesn't need them, this is a great time to sign up and try Paper Pumpkin!

If you're not a subscriber, here is the link to sign up today!  Here are the codes to purchase prepaid Paper Pumpkin -- remember, you can skip any time and cancel any time!


Now on to today's share inspired by Deb M., again, from our Paper Pumpkin Fan Club page on Facebook.  


I love Mint Macaron and used this as a card base.  I cut down the card from the kit and used it as a background piece.  I also cut down the DSP so the YOU popped more.  

I do have one more card to share that I made with this kit.  I hope you are inspired to craft or make a card today!

Happy Crafting,

Alternate February Paper Pumpkin

Today's card was inspired by Raquelle B., who shared some alternatives on our Facebook page, Paper Pumpkin Fan Club. 

I used supplies provided in the kit plus my own Poppy Parade ink to stamp the sentiment for this card.  I added a layer of Poppy Parade cardstock to the black base provided in the kit.  I used Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue to attach the vellum to the top of the card--just use the flat end in lieu of the tip.  After I took this picture, I realized that I wanted the flag part to stay down so I did add a little glue to the points .  This card looks so much better in person!




Come back tomorrow for another Paper Pumpkin Alternative card!

Happy Crafting,
