I really liked the designs printed on the inside of the envelopes that came in the kit. Why hide them? I took the envelopes apart and turned them into backgrounds. While I’m going outside the box, how about turning eggs into flowers? And who doesn’t love google eyes?

My collection of cards created from the December 2021 Paper Pumpkin kit.
I heat embossed the words in White embossing powder for the words.
The Stitched Rectangle dies really step up this card design. I don’t know about you, but these dies are a staple in my craft stash. I actually have 2 sets lol.
Send this card in a matching envelope using the same envelope the background was cut from.
Everyone loves googly eyes lol. Added them for a little extra fun on the toast. I also used Genial Gems for extra accents. They matched the paper perfectly.
Who knew eggs would make such pretty flowers? I used the Bone Folder to curl the edges of each flower to make them pop.
The greenage was punched from the Stampin’ Up Sprig Punch.
The Bumble Bee Trinket is the perfect finishing touch to complete the card .
Your floral card is soooo pretty! And Love the eyes on that toast. LOL Fun fun fun!
It’s such a fun Paper Pumpkin. It gives me the giggles.
OH my gosh, LOVE the googly eyes, so need to make a card like that! Thanks for sharing Tami, great ideas!
Glad you like them. I had such fun with these cards!
