A group of talented and creative Stampin' UP! Demonstrators have come together to showcase some alternative projects of the Paper Pumpkin Monthly Kit program! This month was a kit designed with Stampin' UP CEO Sara Douglass!
I highly recommend watching Sara's video on how to put together the kit if you have it! She demonstrates how to watercolor the pieces with the pencils and gives great tips!
So what did you think about this kit? I am very excited about the direction Stampin' UP is taking to step up the technique side of Paper Pumpkin! Perfect for that beginner stamper to try watercoloring!

For my first card, I just colored the heart with the Melon Mambo watercolor pencil only and blended the color together with the paint brush. I then cut the envelope open to use the inside liner pattern for a layer on my card. I stamped the greetings on the sticky strip and cut smaller to adhere to the heart shape. I stamped the BEST right on to the embossed heart. I placed all of this on the NEW Lemon Lime Twist cardstock. (by far my favorite new in color ever!)
Here is just one more card...again just using one color - Daffodil Delight watercolor pencil - I colored in the other embossed pattern. I cut it down to 4x4 as well as the Basic Black card base to 4 1/4" x 4 1/4".

Cute card. Brings more color into the card.
Love that you turned the envelope liner into dsp--looks really cute!!
I latterly just got my kit. I went out to the mail box and it was there. Yoo-Hoo! I'm so excited. I've got this great group of bloggers to show me "something else" to do with my kit. How fun is that?
Love the new Lemon Lime Twist, especially with the black. Can hardly wait to get my hands on some!!!
Great colors!
Nice cards ... I liked that you used just one color of the colored pencils ... something I hadn't thought of, but it looks great! Thanks for sharing these. ��
Love your ideas! Your cards are very nice. TFS.
Such a great kid and I really love using the envelope liners as a source more designer paper for the cards that lemon lime Dash paper is just so much fun behind the heart
So pretty. You really make me wish I got this kit. I like how you watercolored one color on the background and used just the purple flower.
I love both of these sweet lil cards Cindy! It's true ... Lemon Lime Twist is pretty much the best colour ever! I have to agree! I am so happy to be hopping with you and this fab group of stampers! 💖
Great cards, love the bright shiny look of the colors on the black.
Happy Stampin.
