Think outside the Box with Safari Celebration Paper Pumpkin. In this case the alternatives were so much fun! Important to realize is that there aren’t many surprises left in this world, so why not get Paper Pumpkin from Stampin’ Up! and get one every month! As always I made a video walking through making my cards which you can see here.
On account of that I had so much fun with this Paper Pumpkin, I have made three cards and could have easily made more!
Surprisingly, I have decided that instead of writing all the supplies here, I am placing ‘Card Recipes’ under each picture. You can download them, print them or ignore them! LOL Overall, my hope is that you like this better, but you will have to let me know!
And of course, the supplies will also be listed below in picture form, but in the case of Paper Pumpkin I cannot link to this one exactly, so I will have links to buy FUTURE Paper Pumpkins!
For the most part, I want you to enjoy coming here, and if that helps you choose me as your demonstrator, I would love that! If not, I hope you enjoy the cards and recipes anyway!
Lastly, I know everyone asks this, but if you could leave a comment letting me know you stopped by I would love that! And if you stop by my YouTube channel, give me a thumbs up and subscribe! For the most part that is the only way I can tell if people are visiting! My hope before you go is that you enjoyed thinking outside the box!
