This Paper Pumpkin is all about change and metamorphosing into something so beautiful. We all have had situations in life that change was a factor for the better...so let's celebrate this change with a pouch of tags...

With the rest of the card...cut two tags and punch with the Decorative Tag Punch...which is on sale and retiring. Add included die cut pieces...flowers, caterpillars, gems and greetings.

This card is perfect to stand and display. Starting with Basic Black Cardstock cut 4 1/4 x 10...score on both sides at 2" and 3 1/2" and fold. Cut the moon and stars card into 3 pieces...(2) at 1 3/4 x 4 and (1) at 2 3/4 x 4 . Add yellow Glimmer Paper to the back of the punched out moon. Add Silver Foil to the back of the punched out stars.

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop - Beyond The Horizon

Welcome to A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop. This hop features "alternative projects" each month for Paper Pumpkin. Here are all the fabulous elements in this months kit....

And here are my projects for March's Pumpkin ...Beyond The Horizon.!

Immediately when I saw this kit...I had a totally different idea for some of the die cut pieces.

Starting with the green grasses....I turned them around and colored them on the white side using my Flirty Flamingo and Granny Apple Green Stampin Blends. The background DSP was created from the lined envelopes . And finally using the Cactus Punch....I added the swirled die cut to a leftover piece of the envelope DSP and punched a flower pot!!

A Dragon Fly is punched from a dotted banner from the kit adds the perfect touch and don't forget the included Faceted Gems!!

Continuing on the same line....I took the 2 leaf die cuts...again turned them to the white side....only this time I used my Blending Brushes and my Granny Apple Green Stamp Pad and colored them using this fresh green. Adhere them to the card and color the white spaces with a Light Granny Apple Green Stampin Blend.

Bring out the Cactus Punch again...and punch out the flowers with the polka dot banner included in the kit. ...each Flower gets a gem for a bit of sparkle. Again ...take an envelope and create the DSP background.

If you would like to see a video tutorial of these cards...CLICK HERE!!

Now it is time to check out what all the other fabulous demonstrators have created!

Happy Hopping!!💓

And now...here is what is coming up!!
