I'm still playing catch up on assembling my Pumpkin Kits from earlier this year.  I decided to play with our March 2021 Here's To You Paper Pumpkin Kit.  I watched the assembly video, and wasn't sure how I would use the mountain and trees images, which are great for masculine cards, but I also wanted to makes some feminine cards.  

In addition to the assembly video, the kit incudes written instructions with photos available to help you assemble your kit plus more ideas if you want to create alternative cards with your kits.  I have to admit that occasionally a kit simply isn't my style.  However, with so many great stampers willing to share their alternative ideas for creating cards and projects with the kits, I always find a way to use the elements in each kit.  I found a lovely card idea from Julie Gilson, from Stampin' Gala and realized that the stamp set included in the kit contained a wonderful floral image.


Floral Birthday Card using Here's To You March 2021 Papr Pumpkin Kit


The basecard for this card is Petal Pink Cardstock.  Then a Basic White layer.  Next, I cut up one of the Petal Pink basecard included in the kit,  My image layer is Calypso Coral and Basic White. 

Birthday Card using Here's To You March 2021 Paper Pumpkin Kit



I used my Stamparatus to stamp the floral image 3 times.  I found that I could simply move the Stamparatus plate down one notch each time I stamped, and 3 sets of flower images stamped in perfect alignment.  The Stamparatus takes the guess work out of stamping and aligning repeat images. I inked the stamp with Garden Green Stampin' Write Marker and Calypso Coral Stampin' Write Marker.  The Stamparatus helped make sure that I was able to get complete ink coverage on each image.  If I missed inking a spot on the stamp set, I simply inked the stamp again and covered the missing spot.

I used the twine in this Paper Pumpkin kit to add a bow to the front of the card.  I used the Happy Birthday stamp, one of the included stamps in this kit's stamp set, and used the Calypso Coral Spot from the kit to stamp it on one of the sentiment labels included in the kit.
