March Paper Pumpkin

Wildflower Wishes - Paper Pumpkin

Hello, todays' card share is from February Paper Pumpkin kit. It's so pretty. I whipped these three cards up in no time. I love these cards.

Paper Pumpkin is celebrating it's 5th anniversary in March! Subscribe by March 10th to get this month's special anniversary box including a FREE GIFT!

On a side note, I have started another quilt. I know, I know, I need to finish the other quilt I was working on a year or so ago, but I need to practice free-motion quilting first. Anyway, about the quilt I'm currently working on, I had bought the fabrics and templates over a year ago. I wanted to do the sew along, but last year got a little hectic for our family and I just couldn't get into any big projects. So, now I am sewing at my own pace. So far I have all the applique pieces traced and cut, now it's on to applique and cutting the borders and the rest of it. It's a Christmas quilt from Lori Holt's blog, Cozy Christmas. So I'll be sharing my adventures in quilting, or at least me appliqueing and putting blocks together. It's been quite awhile since I've done any kind of sewing. I'm excited! Yay!

Have a great weekend!

Travel update and projects

Well, after a long drive to Sacramento, I made it safely to my Mom's house. I was exhausted and since I didn't have very much sleep the night before, I fell asleep at 7 last night! Haha, so here I am up early writing this. Today we have plans to go out to lunch and then Joann's to buy fabric to make pillow covers. I brought my daughters adorable mini sewing machine. It's pretty hot here, in the 90's, so I don't think we'll be doing much outdoors.

Season of Gratitude, Paper Pumpkin kit ideas

Hello, again. I'm back with more Paper Pumpkin alternative ideas for you. I've got two more cards, this time I used embossing folders to give it a little more texture. The first one I used the Petal Burst Textured Impressions embossing folder on Old Olive card stock.

and the second card I used the Birchwood Textured Impressions embossing folder on Very Vanilla card stock. I sponged ink on the leaves that are part of the Paper Pumpkin kit, and glued on the stamped pumpkins die cuts from the Spooky Fun stamp set and dies. The Happy Thanksgiving stamp is from last year's Paper Pumpkin kit.

I love this month's kit, I have more ideas to share before the next one comes in the mail. I hope you give Paper Pumpkin a try, there are many alternate ideas besides what's on the project sheet. Click here for more information.
