Review and Giveaway: Stampin' Up Paper Pumpkin Kit for March

For my projects shown at the beginning I followed the instructions included in the kit but then I also made two more alternative cards. The first was made with some of the paper squares, strip, tags, twine, pearls and stamps, all included in the kit. For the next I cut a card base in half, decorate the front  with twine and paper strip, added stamping and pearls  to a square and at the top added 2 stickers back to back to make a tab. I trimmed off the top of an envelope so the card slides in and can be pulled out by the tab at the top.
