Good Morning! It’s a little late, but I finally opened my Nests of Winter Paper Pumpkin kit and put together some of my cards. The kit makes 10 cards, two of each of these designs and they are tri-fold cards with pretty Shaded Spruce foil and beautiful printed envelopes. They coordinate with the Nests of Winter suite with the beautiful birds and greenery. Here are the cards that I made according to the directions:

Here’s the October 2024 Paper Pumpkin kit unboxing video from the Paper Pumpkin YouTube channel. It shows the kit contents and steps for making the beautiful cards.
The first card has the two chickadees in the corner of the open arch with the beautiful Shaded Spruce foil border. I love how the sentiment is on the middle fold and pops out through the arch opening.

And here is a close up of the second card with the pretty cardinal.

I used the extra panel from the arch opening and added some die cut birds from the Nests of Winter designer series paper. I also used the die from the add-on set, Merry Tags and More dies, to cut a panel of Shy Shamrock glimmer paper to make a sentiment. The Shy Shamrock glimmer paper goes so well with the Shaded Spruce foil! And I popped it on a Coastal Cabana card base with dimensionals. I also used the tag die from the add-on set to make tags from the opening and decorate them with die cut and fussy cut birds from the Nests of Winter DSP.

Here is the Shaded Spruce ink spot and the stamp set included in the kit.

These were a couple of quick and simple projects that you can make with a the extras from the kit plus a few additions from the Nests of Winter Suite. These will be the perfect Christmas cards and tags for my bird loving friends!
