Ok onto Paper Pumpkin! Have you seen this month's kit? Really beautiful! It's called May Good Things Grow. Here are the contents of the kit. Do you see item with the "5" on it? That's the FREE gift this month for celebrating their 5 year anniversary. The gift is wood elements, natural on one side and white on the other.

Lots of elements in this kit. The inkspot is Early Espresso and you can make 8 cards, 4 of 2 designs with envelopes.

Aren't these cards gorgeous! Let's start with the top left and go clockwise. It's an envelope with a pre-printed border. The flowers are a punch out. The next is also an envelope with the word "Flower" and the rose already printed on it. Below that is a card base of Fresh Fig with a layer of Crumb Cake that has similar roses printed. Lastly, this card I stamped the four corners and sentiment. This was the most amount of stamping.

 Here is one of my alternatives using the kit. I used the envelope and cut off the flap to create a pocket. I then took one of the cards and cut it in half and punched out a piece of Fresh Fig using the Pretty Label punch.

The large flower element was cut in half and used one of the sticker strips along the edge. I cut a piece of the ribbon and used one of the wood elements and punch out leaves. I wrapped some of the linen thread around the envelope and tied a bow. For the pull out I stamped the corners and one of the sentiments in the kit.

Here's another that I CASED (Copy And Share Everything). But I can't seem to find who I CASED from! I decided to use some of the wood elements and did direct to ink to color them.

This last one is came up with myself. Here I used the printed leaves and stamped the flower image a couple of times and fussy cut them. I used one of the cards and cut it in half and took one of the wood elements and pushed it into the Fresh Fig ink pad then used it like a stamp and created a border around this layer. I used tweezers to keep my hands on the cleaner side. I also adhered some of the colored pearls.
