The April Paper Pumpkin kit, Change is Beautiful, did not disapoint. I loved the bold, bright color choices and the fun folds they created. Of course, once I made one of each the way they were designed I started cutting it all apart!
Printed envelopes are my favorite becuase it means you can really stretch the contents to make a lot of cards! Here I show you my typical cuts from an envelope. I usually have three pieces including a 4 x 5 1/4, a 3 x4 and a 1 1/4 x 5 1/4 strip.
With the fun fold designs on the original card bases I cut them into three parts. Paired with part of an envelope you have a great card!
The pieces you remove from the moon and sun card give you even more to play with!
Yet again, the negative piece makes a great mask for creating a background. I also added in the butterfly stamped image as well.
It's hard to see in the photo but the small piece in the middle of the card had a score line in it already based on where I had cut it from the original base. I got out my trimmer and used the score blade to add score marks every quarter of an inch.
The cactus set seemed to be made for pairing with these pieces!

Since this already looked like a notecard I simply added it to a base. This one does not open. It's a flat notecard!
