Paper Pumpkin kit time is my favorite! In fact, I love it so much that I wish I could work in the Paper Pumpkin department at Stampin' Up!
I'm a huge fan of this product…
- It comes directly to me in my mailbox every single month.
- It's affordable – around $20 per month (including the shipping!).
- The kits contain wonderful, seasonal paper-crafting projects that I can do in just a few minutes.
- The kits are exclusive. Stampin' Up! only manufactures so many.
- The kits are made with the beginning crafter in mind (so I can do these with my kids or send them to a niece or nephew starting college this fall).
- AND they appeal to advanced crafters…because a person can really go beyond and create SO many more things than the intended projects.
I put together a couple of these August kit cards according to the directions…
…and then I created some alternate projects to share with you.
Today I will share four of the alternate cards that I designed with this August 2017 Giftable Greetings kit. Later this week I'll share even more since I'm still needing to put some finishing touches on some items and photograph them. And then if you are one of my personal Paper Pumpkin subscribers and you received this kit, I'll be sending you 10-13 additional EXCLUSIVE project ideas via email on September 2nd!
I recommend watching my video below first for tips and measurements. It's a long video (as always! sorry). But I share a lot of details, and I have a hard time knowing what to cut out. 😉
Here are close-up photos of my four alternate cards that I created in the video.

CARD #2 (I added a bow on my thanks card after the video was recorded. I think it looks a little more balanced.)
