October 2016 Paper Pumpkin Kit Ideas Part 1 of 2

Yay! As promised…

Today (late in the day, but still today) I am sharing some of the alternate project ideas I created with this month's Paper Pumpkin kit: October 2016 Season of Gratitude

Introducing Part 1 of 2 which includes…

Two alternate card layouts
A 3-D paper pumpkin décor piece
And a Project Life photo page layout

I will finish up Part 2 this evening and hopefully post the rest of my ideas by tomorrow. Watch this 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 I shared in this video.

THE INTENDED KIT CARD

I recommend making tight frames around the leaf windows especially if you are going to make the vertical version of this card. The framing of each leaf window is very important if you are keeping separate colors or sizes of sequins assigned to each leaf as in the next card shown.

VANILLA CARD WITH SEQUIN COLORS SEPARATED

Here is how I positioned the foam adhesive strips around the leaf windows for this card. The closer, the better so that your sequins don't disappear.
