I have made several cards using the February 2018 Paper Pumpkin "Wildflower Wishes" kit from Stampin' Up!.  Have lots of materials left and even ordered a refill.  I especially love the large die cut sentiments and the flower die cuts which make it pretty easy to put a quick card together.  I don't think I made any cards using the directions from the kit but it is still very inspiring and came with a great stamp set. These are all A2 size cards.












This Thank You card was created using several Stampin' Up! stamp sets - Wild About Flowers, Daisy Delight and Beautiful Bouquet.  The background was masked on the edges and then sponged with Marina Mist, Pumpkin Pie and Wild Wasabi inks.  The stems and flowers were stamped using and then the sentiment.  Some washi tape was added to each side and then all mounted on to a Dapper Denim mat, then onto an A7 size card. 


Material List:
--Stamp Sets: Wild About Flowers, Daisy Delight & Beautiful Bouquet
--Inks: Crushed Curry, Elegant Eggplant, Marina Mist, Pear Pizzazz, Pumpkin Pie and Wild Wasabi.

Directions:
--Cut all the mats per list.
--Use some removable tape or post-its to mask the sides of the Whisper White CS mat. 3/4" on each side
--Then sponge the background colors - Marina Mist, Pumpkin Pie & Wild Wasabi - blending well.
--Stamp the Whisper White mat with with flowers and stems from the stamp sets listed as indicated. Stems with Pear Pizzazz first, then flowers.
--Stamp the sentiments which are from the Daisy Delight stamp set. I used Elegant Eggplant but I think next time I would use Marina Mist.
--Remove the masking paper.
--Attach 2 Strips of coordinating Washi Tape on the sides.  Bakers Twine or Ribbon could be used instead.
--Attach White Mat to Dapper Denim Mat & then both to the card Base using tape runner.
