Well good morning and happy happy Hawwwmp DAY!! And – it’s day one of our travels. We won’t be on the road when you’re reading this – we’re going to get Cady fed and finish packing the truck – and then go thru Atlanta after the worst of the rush. You know, in that 3 1/2 minutes of Non-Rush hour that Atlanta has – I’m pretty sure it happens between 9:17 and 9.20 in the morning. Unless it rains. Or – the sun is out. Sometimes if there’s a breeze….🤦♀️
In the midst of getting ready to go, I took a few minutes to put together my September Autumn Abundance Paper Pumpkin Kit. I admit, when I first saw the teaser for this kit – I was…not…real EXCITED. Snails? Mushrooms? Nah. But – I am now real HAPPY that I put it together. Cuz….look – I got nine adorable cards and envelopes!
Yes – there ARE snails and mushrooms but…they’re DARLING! And there’s also leaves and wood and foliage! BOOM!
Like all our Paper Pumpkin kits, everything I needed was in the box – including a fun stamp set and a Cajun Craze ink spot.
I started with the little square card. I love the window fun fold and you know I’m a fan of the abundant foliage! And the snail. I confess I really love the snail!
I stamped that bough image in stamped-off-once Cajun Craze on the inside of the card cuz…love it! And then I added a second sentiment from the kit’s stamp set.
All the cards have a coordinating envelope with a decorated flap. Since I am STILL me – and I love the stamped image – I added it to the front of the envelope in Cajun Craze ink!
The second card has pretty leaves popped up on Dimensionals all clustered around a round sentiment!
Once again – I took a minute to decorate the inside of the card. No sentiment this time – I wanted to keep it a little generic so I could use it for multiple occasions.
And – the envelope flap coordinates right with the card!
The final design in the kit is my fave. I’m betting you knew that, right? It’s got wood. It’s got leaves, leaves and more leaves! Yep. A true Mary card.
Once again – I left the inside sentiment-less. But decorated. Yes – that image got a work-out! 🙂
And – of course, the envelope….
If you enjoy videos – check out this one on how it all came together!
And – I DO have one more of these kits available if anyone wants it! Just let me know – it’s first come, first served!
Now that you’ve seen the wunermuss-ness that was the September kit – I’ve got great news! The October kit looks to be awesome, too! Meet the..Nests of Christmas kit – which coordinates with the fan-favorite Nests of Winter Suite in the Sep-Dec 2024 Mini Catalog!
Spread Christmas cheer with this cozy, all-inclusive crafting kit!

Such a pretty kit! Love the fall images and designs! Poor Finn…a day at the beauty salon is definitely exhausting! Safe travels today!! 🙂
Thanks very much, Amy! 🙂
Thanks for the detailed info on the new kits. I’m right there with Finn—need a nap and glamour shots can wait! Hope you’ve had a good, easy trip with no problems. Enjoy!
So far so good! Thanks so much, Susan! 🙂
I didn’t order this PP kit, but I should be getting the October kit. I was with you on snails and mushrooms but now that I revisit…maybe! I wonder if Finn was thinking he was going to have to go to doggie day care? I’m sure he was thrilled to know it was going to be a longer trip to see Gramma Kate and his doggie relative. Continue to be safe!
Yes – he does like to ride. He’s equally ready to be out of the truck anytime we stop. He’s basically just a good traveling guy! Thanks, Karen! 🙂
