I was given a piece of scrapbooking paper with these pumpkins along the bottom. I donÂ’t scrapbook so I used them to make cards for the Keiki children using cards sent to me to recycle from some thoughtful SCS members. The cards IÂ’m recycling had greetings such as get well, thanks and celebrate that donÂ’t meet the needs of Keiki. So the following is what I need to create each one:
-Green card: the out of the box pumpkin panel was added along with the sentiment; wow that was easy!
-Shades of blue card: the out of box pumpkin panel, black border and blue star layer was added and I stamped the stars using a hand made image from a pencil eraser.
-Bat/pumpkin/spider card: the pumpkin panel, black, blue borders were added. The hat, spider, moon and bat are cut or punched and glued to the card and I finished it off by stamping the bats, spiders and webs.
Now you have some recycle ideas! Thanks for looking and send me a link if you have some cards you recycled because we always need ideas.
Here's a link to a card inspired by these pumpkins.

Those are some cute pumpkins! Great job on the recycling.
These turned out really nice. I love to recycle when it comes to card making. It's a challenge in itself.
