A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop - Gift of Fall

                               
Hi Everyone!! 
Welcome to A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop ....A Gift For Fall!  This is a lovely pumpkin ...just perfect for the upcoming fall season!!   Here are all the wonderful products in this kit!

But then...for the first time...Stampin'Up! offered an add- on to the gift giving kit....additional cards with envelopes!  Which is equally  cute and versatile!!

So since this is a Blog Hop about alternative projects....here are a couple of things I made!

Taking the yellow flap from one of the envelopes and use it for some pretty DSP.  Add some of the wonderful elements from the original kit.

I absolutely love the colors and textures of these elements.  The purple leaves were a tan color...so I sponged some Merry Merlot to give it a fallish feeling.  Layer with merry Merlot and Crumb Cake and you have a lovely full size card.

Don't forget the inside!! So now onto a gift bag....

We have a very large family and meet for everyone's Birthday....so many times our gift of choice...especially for the guys we give the gift of money and a bag of yummy candy!   So this bag is just perfect for that type of gift.  And instead of just your typical card and envelope...here is a card ON the bag...just a little something different!

Using a post card size piece of Merry Merlot..and the Classic Label punch...cut a slot in the top of the post card.  Add to the bag front with dimensionals on each corner.  Now you can add a darling note card made from one of the add on cards...I LOVE this wreath!!  The colors are stunning!

Next I took on of the envelopes with that pretty colored spring....cut the top off and folded it to make a gift card or money holder.  Covered nicely by the wreath note card.  

Just pull the card from the slot and your recipient will see your personal greetings.  

Cute and multi purpose!

I want that gift!!  (wink, wink!!)

And of course there is candy in the bag!!   This is just perfect for all the many Autumn Birthdays coming up!!

So that is it from me...time to check out all the other fabulous projects!!!
