Paper Pumpkin: Wildflower Wishes

Hey stampers!  Today I am so excited to be showing off the February 2018 Paper Pumpkin kit!!  For some reason there was an issue with my postal carrier this past week, plus with Monday being a holiday, my kit was delayed and delivered late yesterday afternoon.  I have already been seeing some cute creations and couldn't wait to tear into the box myself.

This month's kit is called Wildflower Wishes.  I love the name!!  When I first opened up the box this sweet little reminder was on top.

Let this be YOUR reminder to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin by March 10th to receive the special 5th anniversary Paper Pumpkin kit!!  Not only is it going to come in a special box but there will also be a free gift!  Since I was one of the winners of the Red Box Challenge I am one of 10 lucky stampers that will receive their kit early.  I cannot WAIT to see what Stampin' Up! has in store!!  I will include a link at the bottom of this post and you can always message me (in the sidebar) if you have any questions.

Take a look at what's inside the February 2018 kit:

We've been having a ton of rain and flooding the past few day so when I saw the beautiful bright flowers my spirit was instantly uplifted.  I wanted to make all three of the sample cards but I've had a horrible migraine since last week, which has severely limited how much I do, but I was able to put a quick thank you card together.

I always follow along with the YouTube video that Stampin' Up makes every month, so my sample might look a little different than the one pictured on the cover of the kit.  I also like tweaking the little details to make the cards more my own.

I have never been a fan of Garden Green (I'm more of an Old Olive gal myself) but after stamping the sentiment on the vellum (which I LOVE) and on the patterned paper I could see myself converting!  It's a gorgeous color!

I have been seeing this technique that's been used on the main sentiment a lot lately and just love it.  Having the bright patterned paper peeking through gives just enough pop of flowers and bright, beautiful colors to the mainly monochromatic card.  I also love the shape of the thank you panel itself and that twine with the vellum leaves is the perfect accent.

This card is subtle yet beautiful.  I simply adore it!  I would've never though this color combo would work but it really does!

Whisper White

I have some alternative ideas for this kit that I will hopefully be able to post in the coming week.  The stamp set is wonderful and I really love the embellishments in this kit.  If I can get rid of this stinkin' migraine I'll be so much better! :)
