Paper Pumpkin

The August Paper Pumpkin kit, Sweet Sunflowers is incredible!  Unfortunately, it's also sold out.  But I still wanted to share with you the three cards I made following the kit's directions.  To be honest, I will cut up the remaining card bases in order to create more with this beautiful kit!  Here's a look at the cards:

The next three month's kits are the most popular every year - September, October, November.  Halloween in September and 2 Christmas boxes in October and November.  To be sure you don't miss them, subscribe today!
