Lovely Leftovers - Stampin' Up! Lovely Little Wreath Paper Pumpkin

   I've started hosting a Kit Together night for my customers to gather and work on putting together kits or Paper Pumpkins.  It fun to get together to chat and craft and all the design work is already done so there's no pressure.  I've bought some new kits but I also have a small stack of really old Paper Pumpkin boxes that were never put together that I'm going to work on during these gatherings.  The most recent Kit Together saw me doing the Lovely Little Wreath Paper Pumpkin kit from April 2016. It's embarrassing to have had this kit for so long just sitting on my shelf! But since it's spring I thought it was the perfect time to do it.  The wreath came out really cute but I ended up with a bunch of extra pieces that were too good to just recycle so I made a card with them and added in some die cut flowers from the upcoming Impressions Abloom die set.

  I started with a Mossy Meadow card base.  Using another panel of Mossy Meadow I adhered the leftover strips of leaves that were used to make the original wreath across the panel and overlapped them until I ran out.

  I used some of the leftover wide natural ribbon to cover the top of the leaf panel and then adhered it all to the card front.

The Impressions Abloom dies were used to die cut the flowers in Crushed Curry and Daffodil Delight and Very Vanilla for the centers.  I arranged the flowers around the black tag (also a kit leftover) stamped with the kit stamp set in White craft ink.

  I added a Very Vanilla baker's twine bow and some Adhesive-Backed Dots for Days in Crushed Curry.  Like using up that pack of DSP last week, it was very satisfying to use up the leaves and some of the other supplies for this card.  

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
