Paper Pumpkin Blissful Bouquet Ideas

The October Paper Pumpkin Kit was simply lovely and was called Blissful Bouquet. Stampin' Up! also donated $1 for every existing Paper Pumpkin subscriber and $2 for every new subscriber to Breast Cancer Research Foundation during October. The donation ended up being $36,378.00! Wow!

As I usually do, I made the first few projects as intended with one small change. The medium size card (second one shown below) was supposed to be a vertical card, but then it didn't fit into the provided envelope very well because of the banner piece. So, I turned the card horizontal instead.

The only additional supplies were SNAIL Adhesive, Craft Scissors, Clear-Mount Block A, Clear-Mount Block B, Clear-Mount Block C, Clear-Mount Block G, and Clear-Mount Block H.

I actually prefer making normal size cards (4-1/4" x 5-1/2") because they are easier to mail, so after making the small and medium sized cards (first two cards shown above) as intended, I cut them apart and used the pieces on larger sized cards by adding some of my own card stock and a little extra adhesive.

I then cut apart the rest of the smaller card pieces and some of their envelopes and combined those items and the rest of the kit pieces with some of my supplies to make my own designs. I've indicated the extra supplies used next to each card.
