August Paper Pumpkin & Add-On Has Amazing Design Potential
I am absolutely in love with the August Paper Pumpkin colours - stamps - embellishments and possible design ideas. The kit itself was not only cute with the little goody bags, but an amazing value too. They really hit this one out of the park! I don't think we've had a kit with so many die cut pieces - in so many colours, ribbon and twine, printed vellum elements etc. The box was full, and well worth the money.
If that wasn't enough to tickle your fancy - some didn't like the idea of goody or gift bags, all you had to do was add on the Gift of Fall card and envelope set, and a whole world of other possibilities opened up. We can generally find ways to use Paper Pumpkin supplies to make cards, but with the card pack, you don't even have to think about how you might alter something to use on a card. As you can see, I used bits and pieces from the kit and the add-on card pack and quickly came up with 8 varied card designs. The cards in the bottom left are my version of a similar card I saw on Pintrest from Rachael Tessman of Stamp Your Art Out.
I am loving the winter berry stamp in particular - you can colour these in using blends or your favourite colouring tools, and they lend themselves to all kinds of projects. I am presently working them into Christmas card designs in frosty wintery colours like silver, white embossed, blues and purples. I can see Wink of Stella and the new Shimmery Crystal Effects and Ice Stampin' Glitter adding some sparkle. You will have to stay tuned to see those in an upcoming post.
