Paper Pumpkin!

Wow, I just got my first Paper Pumpkin and I love it!!  You will have to understand that I am mostly a card crafter only.  Never say never!  I love this.  I still have one more bag to use & you can be sure I will.  I followed the directions for this just added the background of the stars and hearts.  I used the Starts and Hearts Decorative Mask (I used the ghost technique sponging originally with crumb cake ink then I just offset it and re-sponged with very vanilla)  Love the result of this!  5 to 6 letters work best, but I have a grandson-to-be (due to arrive in early December) that has eight letters.  A little bit of a challenge, but I think it worked out pretty well.

This is so fun and perfect for the person who says I don't have the money or time to invest in a stamping hobby.  The cost is $19.95 (which includes shipping) a month and you get all the supplies except adhesive.  Everything is cut for you.  You receive with every kit a ink stampin' spot (a small ink pad) and stamps (photopolymer stamps) card stock or in this case-bags, and embellishments.

You can quit at any time or even skip a month.  How great is that?!!  It is a fun surprise every month what you will receive in your paper pumpkin.

This Paper Pumpkin is Stampin Up! February kit.  Along with this I got two circle stamps with two different designs - stripes and dots.  Next is a card I made with this:



Don't forget the inside of your card or your envelope.  I also used this stamp on the heart on the front of the card.  I popped it up with dimensionals.  Do you see the shadow it created?  I thought that was pretty cool.

Another picture:



All this with one kit.  Of course I did add to these projects with a few items of my own. Now I have the stamps and ink to use with future projects.  The blue tissue paper on Benjamin's bag is from my paper pumpkin.  It was wrapped in this inside the orange box in the background.  I just used the fringe scissors and voila!




For the extras in this project I used:
