Alternatives for the March 2020 Paper Pumpkins

I am still having fun playing with the March 2020 Paper Pumpkin. You can get so many different cards from this months kit. I love the extra stamp set that came with it. If you go join my PaperTree Creations Community page on Facebook, you can see a card I made to send to my church family to let them know I missed being with them on Sunday.

Here are two more cards I made.

When I first saw this card base, it reminded me of the sea. Out came the Sailing Home bundle. I wanted to make it a A2 card, so I cut the front off and matted it in Night of Navy before putting it on a Whisper White base. I colored the sailboat with Stampin Blends, fussy cut a cloud by stamping off first with Balmy Blue, and stamped my sentiment. I really like how it turned out.

Product List

The next one changes the sentiment and layout a little (had to use that bunny again!), but is mostly supplies from the kit. This was such a great kit! I made this one an A2 card too.

I know I will still be making other cards from this kit. I haven’t used half the supplies yet! Just love when you can get so much out of it.

Next month’s Paper Pumpkin looks awesome. Here is a teaser video. Don’t forget to sign up before April 10th to get the next Paper Pumpkin.

How to Easily Make Christmas Cards for Everyone on Your List

Christmas is right around the corner, and sending out handmade Christmas cards is a great way to show your family and friends that you care about them. Stampin’ Up! is great about coming out with cute kits, especially around the holidays. And their Christmas card kit this year doesn’t disappoint.

I was excited to see the Christmas kit that Stampin’ Up! came out with this year. Although I loved last year’s kit, this one allows you to explore your creativity more. The Most Wonderful Time Product Medley offers just about everything you need to make lots and lots of cards this holiday season.

This kit offers 48 sheets of 6×6 paper (8 sheets each of 6 double-sided designs), an 11 piece photopolymer stamp set, a 6 piece die cut set, stickers, golden tinsel, and more! All you need to add is cardstock, ink, and creativity. And for some inspiration, here are some cards I made.

These two use some of the stickers in the kit. I have to admit, I was a little disappointed that the deer was not a stamp! There are a couple different designs of the deer, and I just love them.

For these cards, I used the tinsel and star embellishment on the Christmas tree, and the presents were cut out of the Designer Series Paper. There is a stamp and die cut for presents, but I wanted the different shapes and sizes in the paper. I am thinking birthday cards for those present stamps, though.

I’ll be having more fun playing with this kit. Everyone on my list might end up getting a unique card this year instead of a generic one from the grocery store. If you end up buying this kit, post it on Instagram and tag me @papertreecreation. I would love to see your work!
