Hello, hello, hello!!! Thank you so much for stopping by today! I have some fun projects and some fun news to share with you!! Think I will start with the projects first and then move on to the news. Yesterday, I mentioned that I am a long time subscriber to the awesome Paper Pumpkin! It is a monthly subscription kit that comes to your door with a pre-designed craft with all of the pieces just ready for you to make!! The project idea that they send is always great, BUT I have found that I prefer to let my wild side out and think outside of the box that the Paper Pumpkin kit arrives in and do my own thang!! Wooo! Step back...watch me now! LOL They send so many fun bits and different elements that it just begs you to get creative with them! Today I have some projects to share with you from the Sept kit that use all the ingredients, but are my own designs. Want to seeeee? Take a look:
These are my Paper Pumpkin Alternatives!! I made 3 fun tags, a card and 2 little treat boxes using the goodies in the kit! I made all of these and still have oodles of pieces left over for more projects!!
This is a picture of the intended project.
For tag #1 I cut two of the long labels in half and turned them into Tombstones! I stamped them with the cute stamp set that came in the kit. the silver strip along the bottom is a scrap from the outer edge of the piece that held some of the die cuts! I like to use up as many things from the kit as I can! sometimes that means using the packaging! I added the fun topper using the gorgeous black and silver bakers twine from the kit.
Tag #2 uses the cute pumpkin die cut from the kit. It comes with a full page of them. The fun 'eeeek' is a sticker and the kit comes with 3 different sheets of stickers with 3 different words. The silver accent dots are more packaging that I punched from.
Tag #3 uses more die cuts from the kit. There are bats, pumpkins and ghosts! Soooo many pieces in this months kit to play with!
Here are all three tags together! They measure 2 3/4" x 5".
I made a fun card too! I used all 3 of the different die cuts, a sticker word, 2 of the labels and several of the stamps. I tied the bakers twine around the bottom and tied a few pieces to that. I wanted it to look spider like!
I made my own background paper by stamping the adorable spider and starburst shape. I must admit I am NOT a fan of spiders (I usually catch and release them though!), but I do happen to think this little guy is adorable!
Next I made a takeout treat box and added the kit contents to the front! One in black and...
...one in orange! The black tissue paper here was in the kit also! It was the packaging around the whole kit! Wooo hoooo!
Here they are together. These would make really fun treat boxes for a party!
Fun stuff, right?!

Ok, so funny story!!
This is Poopsie!! She was being really, really helpful while I was taking my pictures today! So helpful in fact, that I had to finish taking some of them elsewhere! (The reason my pictures have different backgrounds today!) She LOVES the bakers twine and also likes to have her picture taken!!
Silly girl!! LOL
Here are the things that I used to create my Paper Pumpkin Alternate projects today:
