Happy Birthday Bag Using September 2014 Paper Pumpkin Kit

When I saw the treat bags for last month's Paper Pumpkin, I thought they were really cute, but I'm not too big on Halloween, so I knew I wanted to use some of them for other occasions. Here's what I came up with:

My ink smudged a little, but other than that, I think this turned out really cute! Did you notice the purple rhinestones? This was my first attempt at using my Blendabilities to color them, and I LOVE it! I'll have another card using this technique for you next week, and I'll go into more detail then.

If you are stumped with what to do with the extra product in your Paper Pumpkin kits, Pinterest is a great place to look for ideas. There are so many great ideas that sometimes I buy a refill kit just to make some of them! Many of the ideas don't even take extra supplies, which is even better!

Here's what I added to the kit to make this little birthday bag:

Stamps: So Very Happy
Ink: Blackberry Bliss, Rich Razzleberry Blendabilities (the darkest marker)
Accessories & Tools: 1/8" Basic Black Ribbon, Blackberry Bliss Ribbon, Rhinestones Basics Jewels
