As usual, Stampin' Up! has created an amazing Paper Pumpkin kit with the Safari Celebration box. Below you'll see a number of alternatives I created with the various pieces included in the kit. There is SO much included allowing you to make a lot of cards with one box.
The two tips I offer nearly every month are to 1) cut your envelpes up and 2) cut your bases up, especially when they are printed on both the front and the back. This allows you to stretch your materials even further.
Both of these cards include pieces of envelopes.
I have to admit a mistake about the bottom card...I originally put it together backwards so that the card opened on the left! Major fail. So I cut it apart, trimmed it down a tiny bit and layered it on a new base! Have you ever stamped or glued pieces upside down or on the wrong side??

Cutting your velum pieces in half also allows you to stretch them further.
I will admit that the animals in the kit were not my favorite. The other two are a little strange looking to me but I think the elephant is SO cute! I think this will make a great kid birthday card!
I created the backdrop on this one by using my leftover negative piece after punching out the leaves. By setting it over the printed piece and using a Blending Brush to turn it into a stencil I was able to create a cool backdrop.
One last fun card to share!
