So Cool Paper Pumpkin fun!

 

This month's paper pumpkin has some adorable die cut shapes, stickers and envelope liners which can be repurposed for some great birthday and congratulation cards! I made three fun alternates on my Facebook Live on Monday.

I also used lots of fun Stampin' Up cardstock, Ice Cream Corner DSP from the Jan-Jun Mini catalog (retiring soon!). The stickers are super cute especially. With lots of popsicles, watermelons, strawberries etc. I used some of the new embellishments that are coming in the new annual catalog - especially the fun epoxy drops and basic twine bundle (with 5 different colors!)
