Open Me! Open Me!

Yesterday I shared three of the projects I made for Saturday’s Pumpkin in the Fungeon call, a call I host with my Paper Pumpkin subscribers where we share all the fun things we’ve made with the kit. I love making alternative projects to share with the group, but their projects are always more exciting. The “OPEN ME” stamp from the coordinating stamp set inspired me to make this 8-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ card:

The sentiment, pulled from the November 2022 Paper Pumpkin Kit, is an important part of this card, but the packages that accompany each of the “OPEN ME”s are the heart of the card. Here’s a glance at the stamp set we received in the From the North Pole kit:

I SO LOVE the “Express Delivery” stamp but didn’t make an alternative project with it (only used it on the as-designed tag). I will be making something with this gorgeous stamp. If you’d like to see some of my other alternative projects with this kit, click on the image below:

As I am writing this post Sunday night, it appears the dies have just moved to “unorderable” as they are not showing up in the online store. Here’s a closer look at these packages on my card:

I displayed a rainbow of soft colors against a Smoky Slate backdrop, which helps the soft packages to pop. If you like this mix of Daffodil Delight (the only non-subtle color in the group), Pool Party, Fresh Freesia, Soft Sea Foam and Blushing Bride as much as I do, I hope you will save this for future reference:
