It's going to be a Paper Pumpkin week. I had to split my video for this past month's kit into 3 parts. I guess I ramble on too much. (It's actually amazing that I can keep my Periscope broadcasts under 20 minutes. Tehehehe)

Here is what the April 2016 Paper Pumpkin kit directions instruct you to make. But I used my supplies to make lot of other items instead.

Those of us lucky to have been in on getting this kit also got gifted with a bonus stamp set (shown in the samples below).

So you will see two stamp sets used in my projects that I share this week. And those of you who are my personal Paper Pumpkin subscribers will see two sets of EXCLUSIVE ideas being sent to you. If you are not getting those exclusive project ideas because you are not one of my subscribers, here is a taste of what you are missing out on.

On a side note, I discovered yesterday that my link to subscribing wasn't working correctly. So if you feel that you signed up with me in the past and haven't gotten any exclusive projects (or even a welcome email), then I do not have you on my list of subscribers. You are more than likely not hooked up with a demonstrator at all. Contact me if this is the case, and we can get you linked to my account.

So without further ado, I bring to you my alternate ideas I came up with using the April 2016 Lovely Little Wreath Paper Pumpkin kit (Part 1 of 3). Watch the video to get tips, measurements and directions. Then scroll down to see close-up photos of these projects and a list of extra supplies I used to make them.

Here are close-up photos of the alternate projects that I created from this kit that are shown in THIS video.

And my extra exclusive ideas (the first half) just got emailed to my personal Paper Pumpkin subscribers. If you haven't tried these Paper Pumpkin "kits of creativity," then click here to get started. Contact me if you've gotten these kits in the past and are wanting to start up your subscription again with me as your demonstrator.

Thanks for visiting today. Hopefully I've given you a fun idea to try or a tip to use for your future paper crafting projects.
