I had a recent crafting play date with friends, and was finally able to work on my June 2023 Welcome Inn Paper Pumpkin Kit. This is such a fun kit! I started out creating the cards following the instructions that come with the kits, but I just can't help making adjustments.  For instance, for all three cards, I cut down the base cards that came with this Paper Pumpkin Kit set so I could create twice as many cards.  I added a Basic White basecard for the center card, added a Night of Navy Basecard for the card on the left, and added a Crumb Cake basecard to the card on the right.  I kept the layouts the same, but tweaked the card on the left and the card on the right to meet my needs.   I always need Thank You cards, so I used that sentiment from Go To Greetings for my card on the right.  I also need general cards, and so I change the sentiment on the right to You are the Best, from the Timeless Arrangements Stamp Set, and stamped it on a Crumb Cake Cardstock die cut to match the Crumb Cake card base. Additionally, I found an old Varied Vase Builder Punch and punched a tiny vase out of the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper to add to the two other vases from the kit.  Next I'm going to work on some additional Alternative cards using elements from this kit.

    Here's a closer look at each of these cards.  The card below only changed the basecard.  I used a Basic White Cardstock Basecard, after cutting the card from the kit in half and then cutting down one of the halfs to 5-1/2 X 4".


        The change to this card was again cutting the kit card in half and adding a Night of Navy Base card.  I also change the sentiment to a Thank You from the Go To Greetings Stamp Set.

            The third card was created again by cutting the base card in the kit in half, and mounting the Night of Navy from the kit onto a Crumb Cake base card.  I die cut a sentiment using the Stylish Shape Dies out of Crumb Cake, and then used a sentiment from the Timeless Arrangements Stamp Set to change the sentiment used on the kit's card.  I also found a very old, retired punch and used it to punch a small vase to add to the other two from the kit.  I punched it from the Countryside Inn 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper, centering it on elements that sort of matched elements in the other two vases.

                  While refills and the add-on vase die for this kit WERE available, they quickly sold out over the past two days during the Paper Pumpkin refill sale.  Lesson Learned:  If you think you're going to want to make more cards from any of your Paper Pumpkin Kits, order the refills for your kits as soon as they become available.  Once they are gone; they are gone.
