Good Morning! I received my June 2022 Paper Pumpkin Kit – Pick of the Crop last week and I put together some of the pretty cards. This kit makes 9 cards – three of each design and they are such cute cards with a summer fruit and picnic theme. I put together one of each design, take a look:

Here’s the June 2022 Paper Pumpkin kit unboxing video from the Paper Pumpkin YouTube channel showing how to make each card. I pretty much followed these steps to make my samples.
Here is my first card with the pretty berry baskets. The colors are gorgeous and I love the vellum accents with the linen thread bow.

Here’s my second card, with the baguettes and cheese – another cute design!

And here’s my last card with the flower and bread cart. The printed card base background is so pretty with cart.

Here is all the items included in the kit. There are tons of extra printed die cut images, so you can easily incorporate other items in your stash to make additional coordinating tags, cards or scrapbook page decorations. You can also purchase additional bags in my Online store HERE.

Here are some alternative designs that the Stampin’ Up! Paper Pumpkin team has made with these items. I love the stamped bag!

Next month’s Paper Pumpkin kit is Sending Good Thoughts and it looks like it will be another good good kit for summer fun.
