40 Card in 40 Days: Sunshine and Smiles

February Paper Pumpkin: Sunshine and Smiles

It’s Day 5 in my 40 Cards in 40 Days Challenge and I have a treat for you.  Three cards in one day!  I made today’s cards from February’s Paper Pumpkin Kit, Sunshine and Smiles!  For these cards I tried to follow the directions and make the cards as the kit suggested.  Me, follow directions?  I will admit that it was a bit difficult but I did it.  😊

Aren’t these critters adorable?  If you’re wishing that you had purchased the kit, I have a suggestion for you.  Check out the Rain or Shine Suite of products in Stampin’ Up!’s January – April Mini Catalog.  You’ll find some of these same critters and images!  I don’t have this suite (yet?), but I wish I did so I could make some alternative cards with the items in my Paper Pumpkin kit.  Oh, well.  I’ll just have to get creative.

It’s hard to tell from the photo above, but all three cards have a window in the front.  Check out the photo here.  This is the inside of the yellow/mango checked card. 

Did you know that March will be Paper Pumpkin’s 10th Anniversary?  Wow!  That’s a lot of kits!  For their anniversary, Paper Pumpkin is including a FREE gift in the kit.  They are including a second stamp set that will coordinate with the stamp set in the kit or stand on it’s own.  😊

Have you ever tried a Paper Pumpkin subscription?  If not, you should.  If you have in the past, and weren’t satisfied with them, give them another try.  The kits just keep getting better and better!  I had fun making these three cards and I’m looking forward to changing them up a little. Check out the Paper Pumpkin page in my online store.  If you do decide to purchase the month-to-month subscription, you can sign up here.

I hope you enjoyed these Paper Pumpkin cards for Day 5.  Have a great day.  Take care and Happy Stamping!
