 Kisses and Hugs

January 2022 - Paper Pumpkin Kit Alternatives



Card one - I made the opposite in the video below using the blushing bride punched hearts on a very vanilla card base.


Card 2 - I used one of the envelopes and a few strips of very vanilla card stock and a few components from the kit.


Two samples of the beautiful cards made as per the instructions in this months kit.


This months kit was absolutely beautiful with all those gold accents on the cards and gorgeous coordinating envelopes. but, alas i have to make some alternate ideas.
This was just a quick video to show you a few quick ideas on how to make your kit this month.

I was in the hospital, I was just discharged on Tuesday evening so bare with me and I will be for sure making another video later in the week.

The cute little boxes that are availaable this month and coordinate with this kit are...
