Hi there, todays card share features the April 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit! Its a pretty darn nice kit. I had fun creating this simple cards and honestly, I wasn’t finished playing with it.  So many ideas come to mind but these were the five that I had time to complete.

I love how this first card turned out. I used the leaf die cut in the kit and drew in the details on the back side and then cut little slits to create soft looking feathers.  I like simple cards and it shouldn’t take too long to create this one.

I used the left over leaves from the first card on this card.  It was super simple to make as well.  And this was created directly on the card base.  I love the colors I picked for the leaves.  Its just easy sponging with the three colors and then snipe & shape it and place on the card with dimensionals.

I had a different idea for this card alternative but it ended up looking abit overdone, so I redid it omitting a bunch of added stamping and it turned out even better!  To my surprise, it only took 15 minutes to re-create since I already knew what I was doing.  Anyway love that its pretty and yet simple to make.  It would be a great Mothers Day card too.

For this next card, I wanted to do something that I hadn’t done for awhile and its resist white embossing. Love the brilliant blue border and then a simple butterfly and just for Mom!

And finally, my take of a hydrangea flower from the stamp set.  I didn’t realize PP added alternative cards on the back of their written instructions! Anyway, this was what I saw and decided to share my take of this flower. In the video I shared how I originally stamped it and then restamped it to show you how to make it look more flower like instead of a mushroom. I hope it was helpful.

Here’s a link to the video.

Not that I like to yap about myself but here are a few updates.  As planned I decided to rejoin Stampin’Up!
