May Paper Pumpkin- Batter Up
Step up to the plate, take a swing, and knock it out of the park! With the Batter Up! Paper Pumpkin Kit, it’s your turn to go to bat for all the people who’ve gone to bat for you. This month’s timeless kit with a “throwback” theme contains enough grand slam supplies to create nine cards—and coordinating envelopes—featuring classic colors, pinwheel and pinstripe patterns, and vintage-washed paper pieces.
Coordinating colors: Bumblebee, Night of Navy, Pacific Point, Real Red, Smoky Slate, Basic White
I want to show you a few of my alternative ideas for this month’s kit.
Here’s the first card I came up with:
There are so many ways I found to change around this kit!! For my first card, I made a Gift Card Pocket by just folding back the card front and gluing the sides down. I added a strip of Pacific Point cardstock to the edge for a pop of color.
Card #2: Using my leftovers
It’s always fun to think up ways to use the negative left-over pieces from the kit! I had a small striped rectangle left after using a piece of it for Card #1. So I made this into a Strawberry Basket, using the leftover edge piece for the handle.
Sweet Strawberry Bundle
The strawberries come in a Bundle (10% off!).
Notice the cute red dots? You get some red and yellow ones in this month’s kit!
