PP Blog Hop - Fall for Toile

Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop!

The beauty of the Paper Pumpkin kit is that you can follow the direction provided in the kit to make the projects as they were designed, or use the supplies as a starting point and let your creativity run wild! On this hop we will share lots of ideas with you on how to use the September Paper Pumpkin kit "Fall for Toile".

These are the original projects:

This beautiful Fall kit makes 9 cards with stunning matching envelopes. The coordinating colours are Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, Darling Duckling, Early Espresso, Pecan Pie, Timid Tiger and Metallic Chocolate Bronze. The Stampin' Spot is Cajun Craze. This kit also coordinates with the Add-On set of dies (Circle of the Season).

For my alternate project I designed a fun fold card that showcases the frame from Card 1. I used a Crumb Cake base and added Early Espresso and Cajun Craze mats for the folds by cutting up one of the card bases. I added some Metallic Specialty Paper inside my card. My supplies (other than those from the kit) used for my alternate project will be listed at the end of the post.
