Please forgive me for being later than usual. Summer with the boys at home. Well,… I think that says it all. But I did it! I hope you enjoy the alternate ideas I came up with using the June 2015 Happy Thoughts Paper Pumpkin kit. (OH!…After filming, editing and uploading, it was brought to my attention that I had a word in my 12×12 pages title incorrectly spelled. Ooops! And here I thought I was so clever. How embarrassing especially since I used to teach elementary education. So if you can look past that, I'd really appreciate it.)
Be sure to watch this video for tips and ideas. Then check out the photos (so you can see the projects close up) AND scroll down to see the supply list for any extra products I used.
Below are close-up photos of the intended kit cards, the 4 projects demonstrated in the video, PLUS 2 more fun ideas – another alternate card idea (sort of south-western inspired look) and a fun dinosaur/dragon/monster (you decide) pouch made from one of the envelopes.
Intended kit card #1…
Intended kit card #2…
Video Project One – Treat Holder…
Video Project Two – Project Life Christmas Layout…
Video Project Three – Hamburger Card…
Video Project Four – Fourth of July 12×12 Scrapbook Page Layout…
(Check out this great title made with the "Happy thoughts for you" stamp! Hahaha. Guess what? That's not how to spell fourth! So embarassing…)
Here are a couple extra ideas I came up with after recording the video. By the way, ALL these projects shown were made with only one kit! I never opened my second kit.
I was thinking of Independence Day when I made this card, but it reminds me more of southwestern-inspired decor and my visits to San Antonio, Texas.
And this one was going to be a monster, but it sort of has a dragon or dinosaur feel, too. I love those arms and small fingers!
What a fun way to package a small, flat gift for a kiddo.
Thanks for visiting today!
