It’s time for the October Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop sharing alternate ideas for the October 2017 kit – Pining for Plaid.
This time I have a quick idea for you. My favorite thing to do is to use Note Cards with the pieces from my Paper Pumpkin kits to make it go a little further.
For this kit we have the pretty card bases in the Old Olive plaid pattern. I took one of those and cut it into 4 pieces giving me enough for 4 note cards. Then I used the left over bits to decorate it. I still have plenty of bits left to do more. I’m in the middle of prepping for some other classes so my play time was minimal.
I added the Whisper White Note Cards and some Gold Thread plus Old Olive ink. I stamped one of the left over circle bits – this one looks like an ornament with the gold top. And used up an extra set of the banners. Super quick an easy.
If you didn’t notice this kit also coordinates with the Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper in our Holiday Catalog. So you could pull in some of that paper if you don’t want to cut up your card bases like I did for this card design.
Don’t forget the this October kit coordinates with next month’s Paper Pumpkin kit too! Be sure to be an active subscriber by Nov. 10 to get the November kit.

Oct 25, 2017 | 2017 Holiday Catalog, Big Shot, Christmas, Mini - Love Notes |
Do you remember a few years ago we used to sell 3×3 mini envelopes? Well they are back in our Holiday Catalog. So I created a little set of mini cards to go with them.
I used the Christmas Quilt bundle – the stamp set and the coordinating framelits for these cute little cards. I also stamped each envelope to match the card.
To make a 3×3 card cut your card stock to 6″ long by 3″ wide and then score the long side at 3″. For these I cut pieces of the Quilted Christmas Designer Series 6×6 Paper Stack for the front of each card. Mine are 2-3/4″ squares. Then I stamped the little quilted trees from the stamp set and die cut them with the die set and added the stitching piece to each one.
For the greeting I cut a 3″ strip of Whisper White card stock and I used a Real Red ink spot (I had one from a Paper Pumpkin Kit) to ink up only the words Merry Christmas from the greeting in the stamp set. I stamped that on my strip for the front of each little card. These would be cute for little gift enclosures this holiday season.
Thanks for stopping by.
