Hello Paper Pumpkin

My mom was so sweet and mailed me my February Paper Pumpkin kit as a wonderful surprise.  (Thank you again mom!)  I LOVE the circle stamps that come in this kit.  They are CA-UTE!  Polka Dots and stripes but simple, and clean!

I wanted to make some cards for some friends that hopefully will be joining me in some online stamping soon....details to come!  I love how all these elements came together!  Now, I know those that aren't Paper Pumpkin subscribers (why aren't you....sorry:) you can use any circle image to create this card.

The spirals in the Occassions catalogue might make a cute card.  Or, you could stamp a background stamp and then just punch it out with a circle punch or the framelits:)  Do you have any other suggestions?  

To create the "random" linen thread I just attach a piece of sticky strip to the back of the "hello" and then stick it down in loops.  You can sortof "fruff" it after to position it but I do try and keep the random look.

I also did the card using the Crisp Canteloupe, Crumb Cake and Gold combo.  Rather than the ruffle ribbon (don't have that one:) I used the Calypso Coral chevron ribbon and folded it in half.  Which one do you prefer?

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  Would love some feedback on the PDFs I've been including on my blog posts.  Do you find them helpful?  Do you use them?  Is it worth the time and effort?  Thanks for your honesty and your time:)

Hugs,

Heather

I come to your blog because I love your cards and the PDF files - thank you for the time you spend putting them together.

I love both of the cards, don't have any chevron ribbon but lots of ruffled in the new In Colors. Have to go downstairs to the sewing room and look for gold sequins from my 2 daughters dance costumes.. I knew all those sequins would come in handy some day.. I like the Pdf recipes.

I like the ruffled ribbon better. And I like the instructions a lot. Very helpful! Thanks for doing that.

I love your cards. I bet I've pinned most of them. They are so inspiring!
