First off I want to wish my handsome son a Happy Birthday! He is 4-1/2 hours away so I won't get to see him today. He turns 28 on the 28th! Must be his lucky year huh? How appropriate to post some Paper Pumpkin Kit projects today. I tackled my kit to add some additional projects. I truly wish you would subscribe. The kits are so fabulous! Take a peek at some of my projects but before you do that...to my subscribers, I will have EVEN MORE projects to email you once our group the "Paper Pumpkin Gurus" finish up with instructions to send you!

Here's a gift bag and card combo:

This is what the kit was meant to create...exactly. For the next one, I posted this earlier as the "Sneak Peek" for our Paper Pumpkin Gurus group. You can see it here along with the directions in PDF format that you can print on how to create this set:

Next up is a single card using the new In-Color Blossom Accents and the butterflies from the Papillon Potpourri stamp set. How adorable are the flowers to coordinate with the butterflies!

Next I create a "gate-fold" card. Instead of folding in the center, I scored at 2-1/8" on each end and folded. I used the DSP strips that are included in the kit to create a belly band and added a few Rhinestone Jewels:

For this next combo I used the yellow tissue paper and cut strips 1-1/4" wide to added to the bag and to the top of the mini card. :

For the mini-card, I cut one of the card bases in half and used the other half for a 2nd card at the end of my post. Some of the balloons were stamped on the circles that were included and some of the balloons and I hand-cut:

I added additional colored cardstock to the bag below by stamping the polka dot image from the Celebrate Today stamp set. I stamped the cardstock first and tucked it on the inside to peek through the balloon holes:

For this card I stamped using the balloon strings image above the designer paper layer to give the card a border. I added Rhinestone Jewels in each loop:

And finally for my last project, I used the 2nd portion of the card I cut in half to create this mini-card:
