Celebrate In Color May Paper Pumpkin Kit

 Hey there, Craftin' Friends!

I've had a fun time creating alternate cards using the May, Celebrate In Color, Paper Pumpkin Kit. Paper Pumpkin is a monthly subscription kit available through Stampin' Up! in North America. Each month's kit contains all of the materials you need to create paper crafting projects (often cards, but sometimes treat packaging or other projects) designed by Stampin' Up! In Canada, the kits are $32.50 plus tax. One of my customers says she loves her montly suprise kit! You can subscribe to Paper Pumpkin here. 

For avid crafters, like myself, Paper Pumpkin Kits are an invitation to create using brand new materials organized around a theme. This month, the kit contained supplies to make 10 cards, 2 each of 5 designs. I took the supplies, added some additional items from my stash, and created the following six cards for you. If you'd like to see written tutorials for each card, please join my Paper Pumpkin For The Fun Of It Facebook Group. The tutorials are available free in the files section on the group page. To access the group, go to Craftin' Granny's Facebook Page, click on More, then go to groups and ask to join the Paper Pumpkin Group.

The final card shows an alternate way to use the gift card holders, if you don't have gift cards to add to this month's cards.

The tag from this card  could be removed and used as a bookmark.

Hope you've enjoyed my alternate cards for this month's kit. 

Happy Crafting!
