I missed out on a fabulous Paper Pumpkin, named Farmhouse Florals, a few months ago. But, I was able to order the refill, and so glad I did! You can click on the picture in my Product List below to see if it’s still available. Today’s card is an alternative, using the fabulous straw bag.

Farmhouse Florals
I began with the largest, Everyday Arches Die to cut the card base from Thick Basic White Cardstock. I placed the folded cardstock (8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″) on the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, along with Floral Delight Designer Paper, as close to the left, folded edge, as possible. After cutting, I used the fourth largest Everyday Arches Die to cut the center from the designer paper, and glued the arched frame to the card base.

Next, I cut sunflowers from Floral Impressions Designer Paper, and arranged them with the tote. The leaves were cut from Floral Delight Designer Paper, with a Lovely Arrangements Die, and glued in place. This designer papers have retired, but if you don’t have them, I know you have other paper to use. Right?
The sentiment, “just a note,” is from the Lovely Arrangements Stamp Set. I stamped it in Early Espresso Ink, used a Lovely Arrangements Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. The Paper Pumpkin Kit included handles for the bag, so I attached this cute detail to the bag with Dimensionals. As a final touch, I attached three Neutral Matte Dots beneath the sentiment label.

Great use of the PP! Love this combo!
Thank you, Stephanie! I’m so glad you like it!
I don’t ever want Every Day Arches to go away! I have used them, like you have here, SO often. And I loved this particular Paper Pumpkin—this a great alternative design. Now I’ll have to get ANOTHER refill…!
Great card ♥️
Hi Linda,
I know! It’s so hard to see our favorite things retire. But, I remind myself that in order to have new products, we have to let things go. And, I LOVE new products! Have you seen the new Online Exclusives?
