November Paper Pumpkin - Alternative Project #4

 

So my Paper Pumpkin class for the November kit is over and I can continue to share what we did as our alternatives - here is the fourth and final project we did for this kit - a cute little treat holder.

Tips

We started by stamping all over the little treat box portion while flat - "Oh, what fun!" with Shaded Spruce and Flirty Flamingo; and snowflakes with Pool Party.  Then adhered it together with Tear and Tape and placed it into one of the treat bags.  I cut about 1 1/4" off the top of the bag to make it easier for me to reach in and place the treats.    Next I took 1/3 of the white tissue that was in the kit and crumpled it up and put in the bottom of the little treat box - so my candies stood higher.  HINT: save everything from your kit that is practical - I always keep the tissue and use it in various ways.

Then we stamped the striped gift image onto strips of 1" x 3" pieces of copy paper using Pool Party and Flirty Flamingo inks; and added bows with Old Olive and Shaded Spruce inks.  Then putting a glue dot on the back side on each end of the strip, wrapped them around Hershey's nuggets to fill the bag.

Finally we stamped the "Oh, what fun!" onto one of the round tags.  Tied the bag shut with a piece of the green twine; and hung the tag on with one of the little clips.

Voila - all done.  Would make an adorable little place setting treat - or add a gift card for a nice little gift!

November Paper Pumpkin - Alternative Project #3

 

So my Paper Pumpkin class for the November kit is over and I can continue to share what we did as our alternatives - here is the third project we did -

Tips
For this card we used a notecard size envelope 3 5/8" x 5 1/8".  Basic White cut at 5" x 8 1/2" and scored along long side at 3 1/2" and 7" to form a gift card holder.  To do this you will fold on the score lines and attach the 1 1/2" section with sticky tape on each end and fold up into the card.   You're going to use this piece from the first project - 

 

Adhere it to the front of your card and add gems to the centers of the bows.  Stamp your desired sentiment in Poppy Parade above the presents.  Here is the inside of card - 

We adhered a strip of Designer Series Paper from the Gingerbread & Pepper mint DSP - 1 1/4" x 4 3/4" to the front of the pocket we made and stamp your desired sentiment above it and on envelope.  All ready to tuck your gift card in for giving.

November Paper Pumpkin - Alternative Project #2

 

So my Paper Pumpkin class for the November kit is over and I can continue to share what we did as our alternatives - here is the second project -

Tips
So for this card we used a Basic White envelope and a cardbase of Pool Party cardstock.  Snowflakes and sentiments from the kit were stamped with Bermuda Bay ink.  After stamping the snowflakes on the front of the card, we cut one of the snowmen down to fit on it - cutting the third piece of coal on him in half.  After attaching we needed to trip a little on each side of the card.  Then added a couple retired black gems to the coal pieces - you could color gems black and add them.

Next we adhered  triangle of Pumpkin Pie to turn his green nose orange, and added a few of our in-color gems for sparkle.

Then we stamped the inside of the card and the envelope to finish it off - ready to write in and send!

November Paper Pumpkin - Alternative Project #1

So my Paper Pumpkin class for the November kit is over and I can now share what we did as our alternatives - here is the first project - 

Tips to duplicate -

Start with a Poppy Parade A2 Base.

Take one of the Christmas Trees from the kit and cut off about 1/2" from the bottom, then cut the tree in half vertically.  This will be able to make two cards, one on the right and one on the left.

Next cut one of the presents' layers apart -

Just cut around each of the top four presents - creating four individual gifts.  Keep the two bottom presents together for another project later.

Stamp the sentiment onto one of the tags and layer onto card at angle as shown.  Tie a double bow with the pink twine and attach with a glue dot.  Place three of the presents you cut apart layering as shown.  Pop the Christmas tree half up on dimensionals and add Wink of Stella to the ornaments.  Finish the inside with a stamped piece of 4" x 5 1/4" Basic White and add the other single present to the inside.
