Hi Everyone, Marie here today to share how I used my new Pumpkin Spice collection kit.  I have to be honest, when a new collection comes along there is so much in the pack I usually end up using only a small portion of it.  This month I decided to go all out and try to use as much of the new Pumpkin Spice collection as possible.

 

 

I started by making my 6x8" Pocket Page spreads to go into my Sn@p! Binder.  I love fall, and it's nice to be documenting football games, falling leaves, and pumpkin everything right now. 

 

 

Next, I decided to make some greeting cards.  I cut and folded patterned paper to make the cards, and then used foam tabs by Tombow, to pop up some die cuts to give my cards extra dimension.

 

 

I made envelopes to match my cards using some extra sheets of patterned paper.  I simply traced an envelope pattern straight on to the paper, and then cut them out and folded them.

 

 

The last thing I would want is for my envelopes to come apart when they are in the mail, so to keep them held together I chose Tombow's extreme adhesive to create a strong, permanent bond.

 

 

I finished by making a gift card holder, with more foam tabs to pop up the coffee cup on the front.  I can't think of a more fitting gift for this time of  year, than a gift card to a coffee shop.

 

 

It feels great to use up so many of my supplies, and know that some friends have a little surprise heading for their mailbox.

 

 

Thanks so much for joining me today.  Happy Fall!
