Purple Hydrangea

I found this card on pinterest. It was designed by Patricia Dominicci using the April 2020 Paper Pumpkin stamp set. The Paper Pumpkin is a monthly kit that has everything needed to make 12-20 projects. Most months are easy to put together greeting cards. Occasionally the kit is treat projects. These are more around holidays such as Valentines Day.

All of the items are easily punched out and ready to go. The kit also provides any ribbon or twine used in the monthly projects as well as an ink spot. A good thing is that each kit comes with extra pieces so that you can play with them to make your own cards. That's what Patricia did. Great job!

My very favorite thing about Paper Pumpkin is the cute, exclusive stamp set in every kit. Some months, I think it may be twice a year, we get TWO stamp sets. You cannot purchase the set anywhere else. Most of the projects in the kit require very little stamping so the stamp set that comes with it is basically a bonus.

Here is my card:

This card was super easy and quick. I bet it took me all of 5 minutes to put it together. The base cardstock is Highland Heather. I used the tree top stamp in the set and stamped it twice coming together in the middle so that the stamp made the flower top. All of the sets in paper pumpkin are polymer so this was very easy to stamp. This was fussy cut. The leaf was a punch out leftover from the kit. I added a little bow with Gorgeous Grape Mini Striped ribbon. Unfortunately, this very pretty ribbon is retired. It was so perfect for this card. Then I stamped the greeting in Gorgeous Grape.

And check out the inside.....stamped with 3 little butterflies that come with the Paper Pumpkin set. The sentiment was also a part of the same set.


Paper Pumpkin might be something for you to think about. It is so much fun getting a kit once a month with everything to make your projects all in one little box! Contact me for details.

See you next time!
