With Lots of Love and Gratitude! So Many Paper Pumpkin Alternate Cards!!!

 Happy Friday!  I finished a big project this week -- my September With Love and Gratitude Paper Pumpkin kit and a refill kit that I'd purchased!  

I had done a Facebook Live when I first received the kit and made an alternate card with that (which you can see in this blog post).  

Then, to get started creating with the kit, I made a note card and a treat bag following the kit's instructions:

With two kits, I would have been able to make 16 treat bags, but I decided I didn't need that many.  I kept 10 aside for something I'd like to create.  Then, the remaining 6 plus the note cards and envelopes, I decided to cut up to make as many cards as I could.

I added card bases cut from Crumb Cake, Lost Lagoon, and Pecan Pie card stock.  I ended up being able to create 40 alternate cards!  

I kept my card making pretty simple overall, though did decide make a couple sets of stack, cut and swap cards!  Here those are:

I also kept the insides pretty simple:

Here are my other cards:

Whew!  Here's everything all together:

This was a wonderful kit -- I had so much fun creating with it!!!  Please let me know if you would like more information about the cards I made or about Paper Pumpkin in general!

Thanks for visiting my blog!

More Abundant Beauty Cards

 Happy Thursday!  Today, I have more cards made with the Abundant Beauty Masks to share with you.  

First up is a card I CASED (copied) from the September to December Catalog, page 47.  I did change up the ribbon, embellishments and greeting (mine is from the Something Fancy stamp set):

The next card is inspired by these cards by Artisan Elizabeth Price.  I loved her color choices and use of the Abundant Beauty Masks in combination with the Countryside Inn Suite.  For my background foliage, I used the Translucent Florals Bundle:

My final card is my own design!  For this fall card, I used blending brushes to add fall colors to the leaves mask, then layered that on to some of the All About Autumn Designer Paper (this has been super-popular, but is back in stock again as of the time I'm writing this . . . if you like it, I recommend ordering it quickly as it may sell out again!).  I also added a wreath and leaf die cuts from the Cottage Wreath Stamp Set and Country Wreath Dies, and layered that on top of a strip of More Dazzle Specialty Paper:

Hope you enjoyed these cards!   Please let me know if you have any questions about them.

Thanks so much for visiting!
