This is what you can do when you have extra pieces leftover from a Paper Pumpkin Kit! Just make a card like this one I came up with, A Kangaroo Card With Paper Pumpkin Extra Pieces! It was a really easy card to make and one that I’m really happy with in the end.

I absolutely had no idea of what card I was going to make, but I just chose some designer paper.  It turned out to be this Floral Romance Specialty Designer Paper that has the printed vellum sheets, although I used this regular paper in the package.  When I saw all the leaves, I thought I would put a flower on it somewhere.  But it also reminded me of the Animal Expedition Suite and that reminded me that the January 2019 Paper Pumpkin Kit coordinated with that suite.  I pulled out the extra pieces I had left over after making all my pillow boxes for Valentine’s Day.

I just die cut a large circle on which to place my leftover kangaroo and a larger scallop circle out of the Grapefruit Grove Foil Sheet (sadly, no longer available!).  I thought the Whisper White would be too stark so I used a Sponge Dauber to just apply a tiny bit of Balmy Blue ink for the sky and colored in a little ground with my Crumb Cake Light Stampin’ Blends Marker.

The greeting is stamped from the Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set in Pear Pizzazz Ink to match the card base.  I just stuck one end under the foil a little bit.  Then I remembered there were the little adhesive hearts left over in the Paper Pumpkin Kit and those were just what I needed to complete the card!  Sometimes it’s the little things!

Here’s my Animal Expedition Kangaroo Little Hello Card that actually is kind of similar to my card today.  I made that one out of the Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper.  What a great suite and fun to use with as inspiration with the Paper Pumpkin Kit in January!
