My First Paper Pumpkin Kit

Happy Thursday everyone - only one more day until the long weekend! I was anxious to get into my Paper Pumpkin kit that came with my demonstrator starter kit. Keep in mind this is not the current kit, but I believe this is from August 2015.

Here is what was in my kit ...

And here are my final projects...

It was a lot of fun and simple. The only other supplies I used were scissors, a ruler, a clear block (for the stamps) and a bone folder. Plus I also appreciated the easy to follow instruction guide and video.

Once I was done I had a few supplies left over. Plus you get that awesome ink pad and stamp set that you can use again and again.

I decided to make another card out of what was left over. I used a basic white card stock for the base and then stamped the circle design stamp using VersaMark ink with gold embossing powder to get a pretty background. And then used the scraps from the tags to create the other pieces. Came together for quick!

I also enjoy decorating the envelope - I again used gold embossing powered and the stamps included in the kit. The pink heart I punched out from the pink leftovers.

Theres so much you can do with these kits. Because the card bases are double sided if I had wanted to stretch my supplies even more I could have cut those each in half and adhered them to basic white/cream card stock.
