There were 8 cards in the March Paper Pumpkin kit and I made one of them into two cards and then used the original word bubble as a pattern and created one of my own so.... you will be seeing quite a few versions of these March Paper Pumpkin kit cards by the time I post the last one. Hope you are enjoying the variety.
This one could be used as a congratulatory card, or maybe a birthday card. I used the Blue Ribbon stamp set, Night of Navy ink, a 1/4" circle punch, a star framelit, gold foil paper, and the scattered star border punch to create this card.
If you are wondering where I used the scattered star border punch; I used it to punch the gold foil paper and then adhered 2 tiny stars by the word "the" and one over the center of the number 1.
This card has just two modifications to the original. They are simple modifications that make the card quick and easy to create.
Instead of stitching the YOU with the yellow embroidery thread, I colored it with Pool Party markers. I also sponged Pool Party ink on the front of the card, heavier on the edges and lightly toward the center.
The Paper Pumpkin kit includes this "Thank" stamp and the one on the inside also. Inside the card it says, "You're a gem" which goes along with the little Pool Party colored gem that is included with the kit.
Thanks for stopping by!

Yup, you guessed it another March Paper Pumpkin remake.
I dabbed spots of color on this card using sponge daubers. I like the extra color and it helps tie in the Pool Party arrows with the Daffodil Delight YOU.
The Original Paper Pumpkin kit card would have been black and white with the blue arrows and the YOU outlined in yellow embroidery thread...
I like my changes and it takes 15 fewer minutes to make this card than to make the original version with the embroidered outline.
I'm really getting into altering the Paper Pumpkin kit this month. Here is my next alteration. I have to post this one now before March is over.
I decided that the small flower in the Stampin' Up! Itty Bitty punch pack looked a little like four leaf clovers. Then I found the word in the Crazy About You stamp set. I love that set because it has so many words in it that can be used singly or in phrases.
Then again, instead of using the yellow embroidery floss that came with the Paper Pumpkin kit, I used markers to color the YOU.
This could be used as a congratulations card or a St. Pat's Day card.
