Have you tried Paper Pumpkin yet? It arrives each month in a red box with goodies to create a fun project. If you haven’t joined yet, this is a perfect time because you can join for only $10 a month for the first two months. After the first two months, you can keep the kits coming to you every month for $19.95 (shipping included)! Each month you receive a brand new kit and it is always a surprise what it will be until you receive it (even for SU! demonstrators). You can skip a month or cancel at any time.
Everyone at Convention this year won a Paper Pumpkin kit! I waited until today to open the box so that I could take a picture of it as it was opened. So, here we go!!

Today’s card is one that I made at a class given by Maggie Patterson and Ronda Wade. It uses the beautiful new embossing folder, Beautifully Baroque. This was the first time that I’d used our Core’dinations Cardstock (underneath my sentiment). It is a thick, sandable cardstock that you use to create an antiqued, distressed look (I could have distressed it a lot more than I did). Another new product on my card are the Candy Dots! You can simply place them on your projects like our pearls or rhinestones or you can use the Candy Dots Brad Bases and turn them into a colored brad! So cute!
Thank you for taking time to stop by my blog today!!

I guess you could say that I am definitely on a gift card holder kick. Remember the days when you had to actually go to THE place of business to get a gift card?? What a pain. Now it is so very easy to just pop into your local grocery store and peruse the wide array of gift cards. Love it!
The base of my card holder uses the Card Base Pop ‘n Cuts Big Shot die. You use a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of cardstock. It does not come scored as the picture below suggests but it does have the notched edges at the top and at the opposite end, little slits for those notched edges so that it will stay closed.
I scored mine at 1″, 3″ and 7 1/2″. It is a little easier to see what I did on this Very Vanilla one. The one inch score line becomes a flap and the other becomes your pocket!
The inspiration for folding the base of my card came from Catherine Harwood and the embelishment idea came right from the big catalog on page 9. I originally did not order the stamp set Cycle Celebration but as it always works, I saw it on a card and fell in love with it.
