Oct 2016 PP: Positive and Negative

Hi Everyone, I wanted to share with you a couple quick & easy alternatives I came up with for October's Paper Pumpkin kit, Season of Gratitude.  This month's kit creates shaker cards, which are totally fun, but if you want something quicker, try this!

I used the Layering Squares framelits to cut neatly around the leaf die-cuts to create two quick card options.  Just add Chocolate Chip card stock and a sentiment.  You could make the negative die-cut images (left) into individual shaker windows, if you like.

Hint: In order to ensure the die-cut squares are fairly centered, use the framelit and a pencil to draw your die-cut space on the backside before cutting.  You may want to even use a paper trimmer on the pencil line between the leaves to avoid any indents on the neighboring squares from the framelits.
