Check out the ghostly treat box in the photo above.  It's so simple to make with the Pretty Pillow box dies!

The stitched tag is also in the Pretty Pillow Box dies.  Look how it latches – the scalloped front slips in behind the tag in front.  I love that I don't need a special way to keep it closed; the tag does it for me!

Check out the other version I made with the fun skeletons on the right?  I fussy cut them from the Cute Halloween paper.

I haven't shared this for awhile so here it is; my favorite cutting template especially for inside a card.  Get 5 pieces from one 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of card stock. If you're making multiples this can save you a lot!

• Beautiful Balloons with Bright & Beautiful designer series paper

  May 11, 2023

  ---

  I've been playing with the Beautiful Balloons bundle and thought making my own background with the balloon images would be cool.  

  Save

  I chose a few of our newest colors to compliment the Bright & Beautiful designer series paper seen here.  My colors are Bubble Bath, Lemon Lime Twist and Boho Blue.  I love that the images appear somewhat translucent like real balloons.  

  Save

  *I'll be featuring this fun designer paper in next month's card kit to go. 

  It's an easy fun fold card too. I stamped the greeting on a stamped large balloon and die-cut it with one of the dies in the bundle.   

  Measurements:

  • Bubble Bath card stock is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" & scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
  • designer paper is 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
  • White 3 1/4" X 4 1/2" 
  • Black 3 3/8" X 4 5/8" 

  I had fun stamping the inside (3 1/2" X 4 3/4") with the balloon string and confetti images.

• All of the Little Things kit with an alternate fun fold card idea!

  May 10, 2023

  ---

  I had time to stamp some kits last weekend and thought I'd share them with you. I do love our kits!  Such enjoyable and stress free creating! I did it at a crafting day at our church. All I took with me was adhesive, a bone folder, paper snips, and the kit!

  The cards below were made with April's 'All the Little Things' Paper Pumpkin kit.  I made most of them as the kit directed me to. 

  Save

  However I changed the greetings so I could use them as thank you cards. Such a gorgeous kit this is!  If you're a Paper Pumpkin subscriber did you know you are eligible to get the refills when they become available?  The refill kit includes all products in the original kit except the stamp set & ink spot.  But you already own those so it's easy to make more cards. you can get the refill for this kit here. 

  Today, May 10th, is the last day to get in on the Exploring In Color Paper Pumpkin kit. More information below.

  Each month I create a few alternative ideas and share them with my subscribers and my Team; here's a peak at April's projects.

  Here's one of the cards I made.  It's a floating panel card!

  Save

  Here's a quick example of how to make one.  Score your (5 1/2" X 8 1/2") card twice – at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4".  Then add two folded strips of card stock (about 1/2" X 2" each) on that center front fold – both folds meet on that scored line. Add adhesive to the top area and add your top panel to it.  Done!  

  Save

  I LOVED making these cards!  If you want to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin with me, here's a link.  

  Or if you'd rather purchase a subscription you can do that here. 

  Remember that with Paper Pumpkin you are in charge of which kits you receive; pause if you don't like the next kit. But as a subscriber you are eligible to get any of the available refills or add on items.  

  Hint: June's kit will include an add on die-cut option!
