Gifts Galore Paper Pumpkin; just three days left to get it

I cannot wait to get the upcoming Paper Pumpkin kit; it's always exciting to get it.  Everyone loves Snowmen and it sounds like there are a variety of treat boxes in this month's kit.  I can also see making cute, fast cards with the components in this kit!

Here is how Stampin' Up! describes the kit: 

While the cellophane bags in this kit are food-safe, the packaging is sized for both treats and gifts. Have fun with the festive designs of each box—a sweet snowman, a tree with all the trimmings, or a playful pile of presents—and surprise your friends and family with treat and gift packaging that even Santa would be jealous of!

• The Kit contains enough supplies to create nine treat packages—three each of three designs—and nine food-safe bags. 
• This all-inclusive kit includes printed die cuts, die-cut boxes, cellophane treat bags, adhesive, and more!
• Includes an exclusive stamp set and a Classic Stampin’ Spot
• Coordinating colors: Evening Evergreen, Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive, Pool Party, Poppy Parade

A beautiful scene with the 'Here's to You' kit; a Paper Pumpkin alternate idea

The March Paper Pumpkin kit included stencils and a sponge in the kit so I had to play with creating a scene.  It's one of my favorite techniques! 

One of the stencils has clouds in it.  I used Pool Party ink and lightly sponged on the upper part of my White CS. 

Then I sponged Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral ink about an inch and a half from the bottom edge.  Now I stamped the trees image in the kit with Pretty Peacock ink.  I did not reink the stamp each time so as I stamped repeatedly I achieved the appearance of a distant forest. Love this!!  

The birds and greeting images also came in this kit.

• Even though the So Cool Kit was designed with kids in mind, these fun-shaped cards, featuring vivid watercolors, are versatile enough to gift to kids of all ages—the young in years and the young at heart. They’re a great way to send some “sunshine in a card!” Who wouldn’t love that?
