The April Paper Pumpkin Kit, called Lovely Little Wreath, made the cutest little wreath and some tags. I made my wreath as intended except I stamped a couple of sentiments from the bonus stamp set called All about Everything that was included in the April Kit as a thank you to subscribers to celebrate Paper Pumpkin's 3rd birthday and millionth kit!

After making my wreath, I had a ton of leaves left over plus a little bit of ribbon, some tags, and a couple of flower making pieces. I also had the negative space the branches were popped out of and the stamp sets and ink spot, so I set to work making some cards with all these extras!
First, I made a couple of Mother's Day cards for my mom and mother-in-law. To create the wreath on the first one, I used the Updated Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack to poke holes using the largest circle image. I then cut off the individual leaves from several strips of the leaves in the kit and adhered them to the stamped card front using the pierced circle to guide me. I made sure to leave some of the adhesive on a tab at the bottom of each leaf and used it to adhere the leaves in place.

I used both of the stamp sets on this next card. To make the ink dry faster on the tag so it wouldn't smear while I was working, I used the Heat Tool for a few minutes.

Next, I used some of the leftover leaves to create tall grass for some dinosaurs on a birthday card for my one nephew. I made the card long so that I could put an Amazon gift card that can be used as a bookmark inside it.

For this next card, I used the negative space leftover after punching out the branches as a stencil. I held it in place and masked off a few of the branches using Post-It Notes and sponged on Crumb Cake Ink with Sponge Daubers. I cut off some of the leaves and applied them using a 2-Way Glue Pen.
