A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop: Winter Woods October Kit 2019

Hello and welcome back to my blog today; this is my second post for today, but I am back with you to share my alternative projects for this month's Paper Pumpkin Kit (Winter Woods).  I had so much fun playing with this month's kit.  Here's a look at my Projects.
For my alternative projects this month I created a bag/box with a card and alternative card that's just super simple to do.  So we are going to jump into the card first.  Let's have a closer look at the card shall we.
For my alternative card I used a 4 1/4 x 11 piece of Thick Whisper White Cardstock for my card base.  I simply scored it in half at 5 1/2".   Next, I took the left over part of the tree die cut that came in this month's kit and laid it onto my card base.  I taped it down to my desk and started doing some ink blending.  I started with Balmy Blue ink.  I untaped it and then shifted it over just a little and retaped it back to the desk and did a little more ink blending for a second row of trees with Night of Navy Ink.  I then removed the home made makeshift stencil and took the original die cut piece that came out from the opening and stamped my sentiment at the bottom and added it to the card base to create my third layer of trees.  With the ink blending I also got a second mound of snow in the background.  Bonus!  I finished off the card by adding just a single cardinal die cut to the front.
For my 3d project I created a smaller version of the Bag/box & Card combo that I made last year.  I wanted to create a smaller version of that project and the items in this months Paper Pumpkin Kit was just perfect.  I started out with two pieces of 6 x 6 cardstock and scored each piece on three sides at 1" on my New Stampin' Up! Trimmer.  Once I had all the scoring down I cut up the scorelines for the two smaller squares and notched them in just a little, glued everything up.  Once dried I glued both parts together using a liquid glue (you could use tear & tape but I wanted a little more wiggle room with the glue).
For the card on the front of the box/bag I used a piece of 3 1/2 x 8 Night of Navy cardstock and scored it in half at 4".  I added a piece of whisper white cardstock to the front and inside of the card that measures 3 1/4 x 3 3/4".  I took one of the cards from this month's kit and cut it down to 3 x 3 1/2" for the front of the card.  I added my sentiment to one of the banners from the kit with dimensionals.  I fished it off with one of the cardinals.  I did stamp my sentiment and some of the large snowflakes from this months Paper Pumpkin exclusive stamp set on the piece of whisper white that went on the inside of the card.  Before adding it to the bag/box I took some Poppy Parade texture ribbon wrapped it around the box and tied it into a pretty knot on one side.  I then took the card and added it to the front of the bag/box with a few Stampin' Dimensionals.  The final measurements of the bag/box once complete is 4" w x 5" h x 1" d.

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop: Bone Appeitit

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you my alternative projects for this months Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop.  I have four alternatives featuring the September Paper Pumpkin Kit Bone Appetit.  This was such a fun kit to work with.  With all it's spooky charm and fun Halloween themed treat boxes and stamp set.  Here's a look at my alternative projects then we will look at them closer in just a few minutes.
The September kit was designed to create 20 treat boxes for Halloween.  And believe me they are the perfect little teat boxes for a spooky night.  I will be making mine up and filling them with a little candy for trick or treaters this year.  Here's a little look at how the kit was intended to be put together.

Alternatives: 

The first alternative project I came up with a fun little card using one of the treat boxes as DSP and a little stamping.  I took my inspiration for this card from one of the tags that was designed in the original kit.  I trimmed the box down to 2 x 5 1/2 and then added a piece of Pumpkin pie cardstock as a mat.  I stamped my card base with the little skull and cross bones around the Gorgeous Grape cardbase.  I used elements from the kit to embellish my card.  
After creating my first card I started thinking that the box would be the perfect size for our tiny treat boxes.  I figure out that you could cut off the bottom flaps and the top flaps.  You are left with the perfect insert to place inside one of the treat boxes.  I added a little ribbon and a tag to finish off the design.  
For my next alternative card I got a little artistic.  I stamped a layer of basic black cardstock with the two skeleton from the stamp set in versamark ink and covered them with white embossing powder.  I wanted to create a card for Dia De Muertos (Day of the Dead) so I stamped a crown of flowers and heat embossed it.  I then used some colored pencils and drew a skeleton face.  Once done I matted both pieces with a piece of whisper white.  The flowers I colored in with my colored pencils.  
My last card was inspired by the skeleton background from the card above.  I wanted to do a card doing a little ink blending.  So I heat embossed a panel of whisper white with embossing powder and used only three colors to blend the background. I then added the wicked die cut in black foil paper and heat embossed two sentiments.  
Those are my super cute little projects for this month's kit.  If you are viewing this post on my word press site you will need to click here to view the blog roll.

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop: Gift of Fall


Hello and welcome to my blog for my second blog post for today.  This month's kit was a super cute kit that featured Fall themed gift bags and tags.  We also had the option of purchasing a matching add on kit also.  This months Paper Pumpkin Kit was titled Gift of Fall.  I shared earlier this kit and the projects from that kit earlier today you can click here to see that post.  For my alternative projects this month I came up with three super cute projects.  Here's a look at my projects.
I came up with three cards and a super cute little box using additional products along with products from this month's kit.  The first card I came up with was the Pretty Peacock card here.
I started out with a piece of Pretty Peacock Cardstock (4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2).  I stamped the leaf image from this month's stamp set all around the card base in Pretty Peacock ink.

Next I added one of the white tags in the center of the card.  I then added the crushed curry circle from this month's kit to the center of the banner with a few stampin' dimensionals.  I then added two of the vellum leaves one of the pretty peacock striped leaf and one of the craft leaf.  I added all the leaves with mini glue dots tucked under the crushed curry circle with the multicolored branches on it.

I then stamped my sentiment on one of the banners in Merry Merlot and added that to the center of the circle using stampin' dimensionals.  I then added a few of the gold self adhesive sequins to the card front.  I added some of the crushed curry seam binding ribbon that I made into a bow and attached with a mini glue dot.

To finish off my card I added a piece of whisper white cardstock that I stamped the branch on the left hand side in pretty peacock ink.  This finished off my first card.
Next I created the little box using some Rich Razzleberry cardstock and the Perfect Parcel dies.  It took one piece of cardstock to create this box.  Once I had everything cut out I used the Golden Glitz Delicata ink and stamped the branch around the side of the box.

Once I had the pieces cut out stamped and the ink dried I added some tear and tape and put the box together.  Once it was together I created my tag for the box.  I used one of the crushed curry circles for the main part of the tag along with one of the labels.  I stamped my sentiment on the tag and added it to the circle using stampin' dimensionals.  I then added some of the Crushed Curry Seam binding to around the box and tied it in a pretty bow.  I added the tag to the top of the box with dimensionals attached to the ribbon that way I could slide the tag and ribbon off without having to untie it.

I finished this project off by adding a few of the gold self adhesive sequins to the tag and around the circle.

For the third project today I created another card that matched my little box.  I used a piece of Merry Merlot cardstock (5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4).
I stamped the branch in the Golden Glitz Delicata Ink going up the left hand side of the card base and then I added the multicolored banner to the card base one of the Merry Merlot circles and a little of the twine.  Next I stamped the sentiment in the same Delicata ink on one of the die cuts and added this to the circle with Stampin' Dimensionals.  I then added one of the vellum leafs.  These leafs are so pretty they have a watercolor look to them but I didn't have to do any of the work to create them.  I then added some of the Blackberry bliss leaves and the crumb cake leaves.  
I finished off the card by adding a piece of whisper white to the inside and a few of the sequins to the card front.
