Happy Birthday, Nicole!

29/7/2016

Last week we celebrated our daughter's 17th birthday.   Sometimes I know exactly what card I want to make for a particular occasion, and sometimes I struggle.  I wound up pulling out the June Paper Pumpkin kit.  Since Nicole had just refreshed her collection of pictures on her bedroom walls, I figured she might be happy to have another decorative item to put up:

The Paper Pumpkin kit, called "Banner Surprise," consists of the clear plastic banner pouches, the multicolored sequins to put in them, pre-punched circles to stamp and add stickers to before putting in the pouches, the striped washi tape to seal them, the white baker's twine to thread them, the Tip Top Taupe striped card bases to wind them around and Mint Macaron bags to stamp and put the completed projects in.  Whew!

I chose to add some additional stamping to the card front, using the Number of Years set and coordinating Framelits to say "Look Who's Turning 17".  The kit came with Tip Top Taupe and Mint Macaron ink, but I also added some Flirty Flamingo to pick up on the pink in the sequins and on the washi tape.

I do like having these kits on hand for inspiration and a wide variety of supplies and projects.  I've seen a great range of ideas using these kits, and capture the ones I like the best on my Paper Pumpkin Pinterest Board.  If you'd like to start receiving these kits, simply go to paperpumpkin.com and sign up before August 10 to receive the August kit.  You can cancel at any time...but you never know what you might miss!

p.s. - if you'd like to get your hands on one of the June kits, I have an extra available...just let me know!
