November 2016 Paper Pumpkin- Wonderful Winterland



Did you get your fun blue Paper Pumpkin box yet?!?  Mine came today.  It's been a busy week for me, so I made the cards almost exactly like they showed in the kit.  Except I forgot about the twine!  Oh well!  I will find another use for it!  I also added some Dapper Denim card stock to the back.  

And, yes, the cards can be mailed!  The envelope fits the minimum requirement of the Post Office (3 1/2" high x 5" wide).

Have fun with this great kit!  I used a stamping sponge rather than try to line up the trees.  But I know I will find tons of used for those trees on other cards and projects!
