A Little Smile - June 2019 Paper Pumpkin Alternative

For those who just love full size cards here is a few alternatives for you using "A Little Smile", June 2019's Paper Pumpkin Kit. 

Two of the photo's below I used my own personal stamp sets from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog that go along perfectly (I think) with this months Paper Pumpkin Kit, "Sailing Home" and "Seaside Notions".

I love this months kit and the idea behind sharing these little notes of thanks, encouragement and endearments with others. They are quick and easy to make and sure to bring a smile, some happiness and love to someone's day!

Keep it going...you can make these small notes with very little supplies, in fact there are so many leftover embellishments from this months kit you could make double what the kit says just by cutting you some cardstock to 4-1/2" X 3-1/2" and scoring at 2-1/4".

I hope you share the love with friends, family and strangers today.

Sorry about the blurry photo but the card is quite lovely. I cut white cardstock to- 4-1/2" X 3-1/2", scored at 2-1/4. I used the Seaside Notions Stamp Set for the Seahorse which I stamped in Crumb Cake and the sentiment in Old Olive, the rest is from the Paper Pumpkin Kit
