Each month I look forward to receiving my Paper Pumpkin kit in the mail. This monthly subscription kit comes with everything needed to create fun paper crafting projects!

Opening up a kit is like opening up a treasure chest. I glance quickly at the enclosed flyer that shows what the kit was designed for and then I start to dig in the box and look for alternative ways to use the supplies.

This month when I opened my kit, I was inspired to create a set of Pink Pineapple cards. This was partly because I had just finished creating the Pineapple Tag that I shared about in my last post. I liked the pineapple design and was anxious to try it out as a focal point on a card front. So that is exactly what I did. In fact, I used the supplies in the kit to create a whole set of Pink Pineapple Paper Pumpkin Cards.

Let’s take a closer look at the cards in this set.

I created the Pink Pineapple by die cutting a piece of Rococo Rose Card Stock with the Hippo and Friend Dies. I then ran it through the Dainty Diamonds Embossing folder. I used the Tulip Builder Punch to create the crown on the pineapple. I used the card base, punched flower piece and polka dot strip from the Paper Pumpkin kit. I added some Basic White Card Stock and a small piece of Gold Foil to provide a base for the focal point.

This second card used the Rococo Rose Card Base. I chopped up the floral print card base and used it to create a layer on the front of the card. I love this large gold doily. This was one of the fun embellishments that were a part of this months kit.

For this final card, I used another of the Rococo Rose Card Bases. The Merry Merlot Card Stock that is behind the Pink Pineapple was created by cutting up the back side of the floral card base that comes in the kit. This beautiful vellum frame with gold accents was one of my favorite embellishments in this months kit.

After creating these cards I dug into my kit to find a large floral piece that I hadn't t used. I had an idea of combining it with the Hey Girlfriend Stamp Set to make a floral skirt. I just made a simple cut to remove the bow and within a few minutes I had an fun out of the box creation.

For my final card I stamped another of the Hey Girlfriend images and this time added a doily that I had cut in half. I immediately thought of how the doily made this girl look like an angel. Do you see angel wings in the photo below?

I had a great time creating cards with this months kit.
