November Paper Pumpkin - The Sequel

Usually sequels are never as good as the original, but I'm hoping that won't be the case here.  I have two more designs to show you from my November Paper Pumpkin pack.  It was so much fun to put them together and usually I don't have much time to just play.  With Paper Pumpkin, though, everything is cut and ready to go, so it gives me the time I need to play with them.  This month's kit had so many awesome elements as part of it.  Here are the last two cards I made with it:

• This one reminds me of the American Stars and Stripes a bit!   I went a bit crazy with the star stamp that comes with the kit,  stamping it in Real Red and Smoky Slate.  
• I added some Real Red cardstock flags on the right side.  One piece is slightly shorter than the other.
• I used some of the star banner on the left side, popping each star in the chain up on a piece of a dimensional and then adding Rhinestone Basic Jewels to accent them.

• On this version, I added a Tea Lace Paper Doily and ran the NOEL banner through the Big Shot using the Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder.
• I added the star garland down each side of the  NOEL banner, using Glue Dots.

That's about all there is to it!  Fun, quick and simple!

November Paper Pumpkin, You're the Star!

A little over a week ago, I heard the doorbell ring.  When I went to answer it, there was a package on the doorstep!  It was my November Paper Pumpkin!  Excited, I took it down into the Craft Cave to open it up!
With deliberate care, I broke the seal and slowly lifted the lid.  There was the familiar Thank You card.

I folded back the tissue paper wrappings and....there it was!  So cute!  I immediately put the original sample together and here's what it looks like:

• Look at that adorable star garland!  Real Red, Smoky Slate, Silver Glimmer Paper and Polka Dots!
• The stamps that come with the kit are the little star you see in the  "O" of Noel and the sentiment with the awesome font!
• The striped paper is printed on only one side, so the inside is perfect to write on.  The preprinted banners all have NOEL on them.
• I'll show you two designs today and the other two cards tomorrow.

• Here's one of my designs with the kit.  I added a piece of Very Vanilla to cover up the letters on NOEL and then a Vanilla Tea Lace doily.  To the center of the doily, I added a piece of Real Red punched by the 2 3/8" Circle Punch.  I added a smaller circle in Very Vanilla stamped in Smoky Slate with the star.                                                         

These were lots of fun to put together and only took about half an hour for all three.  What did you do with Your Paper Pumpkin this week?  Not a subscriber, but thinking you might like to be?  Follow this link!

I'll show you the other two designs tomorrow.
