Repurposing Paper Pumpkin – A Fresh Take on the Kit

I absolutely love Paper Pumpkin kits! They make card making so effortless and enjoyable. But one of my favorite things to do is take the pieces and create something completely new. While the Hearts for You Kit is already amazing as designed, I had fun reimagining it into this unique diagonal fold card.

While the Hearts for You Kit is already amazing as designed, I had fun reimagining it into this unique diagonal fold card.

Here’s how I transformed the kit elements into this special card:

  • The gold foil “Love” die-cut is straight from the kit and makes a stunning focal point.
  • The flamingo swirl printed paper? It’s actually cut from one of the card bases in the kit! I love getting extra use out of these printed designs.
  • The striped paper is from the Brights Designer Series Paper, which adds a fun and bold contrast.
  • The heart die-cut comes from the Spring is in the Air Dies, an add-on set that coordinates with this month’s kit and the next two Paper Pumpkin kits!
