Isn't this card just too cute? This is one of the cards that I made with the July Paper Pumpkin kit; I think this one is my favorite so far. I'm a sucker for all things coffee and the images in this set are fantastic! I belong to a couple of demonstrator only on-line forums, and many of the members plotzed when they saw the images once Stampin' Up! posted the video for this kit. A couple of gals were commenting that they weren't thrilled because they don't do coffee, but there is a cute little tea bag string so you could readily turn it into a cup of tea. So, unless you don't drink hot beverages at all, there is something for you here. Also people were raving that there were succulents for the cups, which caused me to just scrach my head and say "what?". Then I did a little searching online and found that apparently this is a "thing" right now. Taking darling coffee/tea cups and planting little succulents in them – there are load of images on Pinterest. I used all of the cup die cuts that had the succulent shapes included for the cards in the kit, which left me with four plain cups left over. Stay tuned for a future post where I show you what I did with those cups. I think I'll be pulling out these cute stamps in the future, which is one of the cool things about Paper Pumpkin; even if you use all of the kit contents, you still have the stamps that you can use over and over.
