Can you believe I have made about 25 cards with the March Paper Pumpkin?!! I've run out of ideas (and CASEs) though! I have about 10 more cards to share with you and then I'll be moving on to something else. My April Paper Pumpkin is on it's way to me. I'm hoping I get it on Monday. It's too late for you to order the April kit BUT you might be interested in the May Paper Pumpkin kit! The Paper Pumpkin team loves planning fun surprises, so that is what is in store for us in May. I haven't seen it of course, but it is supposed to be a fabulous kit featuring 2020-2022 IN COLORS plus Purple Posy which was an In Color this past year but because of issues they had with Purple Posy, they pulled it last summer. So, as Paper Pumpkin subscribers, you will be the first to get your hands on the new In Color products - a full two weeks before you can order In Color items from the new annual catalog! The new In Colors are top secret - for now!
MAY PAPER PUMPKIN
OK - a few more March cards. I have 10 left to show you. I'll put 5 up today and 5 more tomorrow!
 |
| I left this one as a note card and I had an envelope left to put it in. Now to mail it! I fussy cut the clouds and stacked them with dimensionals. |
 |
| This was a super easy card. I cut the note card in half and mounted the girl in boots onto Old Olive cardstock. The label and flowers were punched out and adhered with dimensionals after wrapping a piece of bakers twine around and tying it on the label. All these items were in the kit. |
 |
| This Calypso Coral is bright!! I die cut the rectangles with the Sweetly Stitched dies (Balmy Blue and So Saffron.) The boots and label are adhered with dimensionals. |
 |
| Can you see the shiny raindrops on the clouds? I love those raindrops! I stamped the boots onto green gingham DSP. Notice the rain coming down from the clouds. It took me a long time to figure out what that stamp was. I used it on another card horizontally and as a background. I wrapped some twine in a circle and put a piece of tape on the back of it to adhere it down to the card. The label over the top helped hold it in place also. |

| Now for my favorite card of the day! Details below. |
