My August Paper Pumpkin Kit from Stampin’ Up! arrived yesterday so I dug right in and started making cards.  This kit was loaded up again with way more than enough supplies to make 4 full size cards and four little gift cards with envelopes!

The kit contained a stamp set, a Hello Honey ink spot, 8 die cut pieces for the full size cards, 8 die cut pieces for the little cards, 4 full size card bases, 4 little card bases, 4 big envelopes, 4 little envelopes, tons of little die cut banners and circles, brads, pink sequins, linen thread, Stampin’ Dimensionals and glue dots.  So I’ve got lots of leftovers after making this set of cards!

I did use a couple of sentiments for the small banners from my stamp sets.  The “so much” sentiment is from the Another Thank You photopolymer stamp set and the “my friend” stamp is from the And Many More stamp set.  I also ended up pulling out my Dotty Angles stamp set to stamp the little dots…it made the stamping process go a bit faster for me.  🙂

I used the “just because” stamp from the And Many More stamp set for the little note cards too.  I thought that these would be great for co-workers, teachers or to stick in the kids lunch boxes.

They’d also work great if you added them to a little gift!

And the envelopes are really cool too!  Don’t forget about the half off your first two months of Paper Pumpkin offer that is going on through September 10.  More details below!
