Paper Pumpkin February 2015


Paper Pumpkin for February 2015 features an accordion fold thank you card and small box/card holder.  Both are very cute. You will be able to make 8 cards and 8 small boxes/card holders. There is a lot of stamping but it is really easy to stamp with the photopolymer stamps from the kit. Most of the stamps in the set are versatile and will be useful for making other cards, scrapbook pages, tags, etc. I will post other ideas in the next few days.
