Picture this...you're going through a pile that has been staring at you for over a year. You're in the mood to clean out and re-organize. The pile is old partial Paper Pumpkin Kits. By partial, I mean there are RANDOM bits of leftovers that I would probably not save today. Some also have most of the cards still not finished. I come across the July 2017 Positively Picturesque kit. Seems I didn't care for this kit as much as others. I made two of the cards as designed (didn't get pictures, sorry), immediately wrote out my birthday wishes, addressed them, and put them in the mail pile.
Then I picked through what was left. Two rolls of washi tape went into my washi bin, mini glue dots and dimensionals went into that cubby, and then I had these two notecards and matching envelopes left. I love these! The watercolor background, which I think is Lemon Lime Twist, is a good generic background.
I was stamping with my friend Rose, and we were talking about cute sets and mentioned the Birds Eye View set that just came out in our newest Annual Catalog. Perfect! I stamped the tree limb and birds in Early Espresso. Colored them in with various Stampin' Blends markers. Stamp some leaves in Lemon Lime Twist, and color in with Lemon Lime Twist Stampin' Blends.
Hand-cut everything and glue it down. These images are so easy to hand-cut - you don't need dies. I decided not to pop anything up, because sometimes these notecards/envelopes are a tight fit.
I used two different greeting sets to add my sentiments. Add just a few Basic Rhinestones to finish them off.
While you might not have this exact Paper Pumpkin Kit from 2017 in your stash, you could certainly copy these cards using plain Notecards and envelopes. Make an envelope liner with some designer series paper, or stamp the inside of the envelope (the part that you can see), to give it some character.
