Today I am sharing 3 more fun ideas I designed with the November 2016 Wonderful Winterland Paper Pumpkin kit: wine bottle tags and two "wow" greeting cards – one is and easel card and takes a bit of patience to make (but so worth it) and the other is deceptively easy to put together. Watch the video for instructions and tips, and then take a look at the photos below to see these projects close-up.
Here are photos of the projects I shared in my video.
EASY-TO-MAKE "WOW" CARD
The scenery is on the front AND the inside!
WINE BOTTLE TAGS
Here is how I cut my tree scenery piece (to get a tree piece for each tag) and my white note card from the kit (to get a 3" x 6" piece and two 1-1/4" x 3" pieces).
Since the tags are only 3 inches wide, I used my grid paper as a guide when I put the scenery pieces together.
VELLUM WINDOW EASEL CARD
Light behind really makes the moon glow bright and the clouds appear shadowy. (I suppose it sort of looks like a daytime sky in these photos. Oh well…you can decide.)
Besides the November 2016 Wonderful Winterland Paper Pumpkin kit, all the extra supplies I used to make these projects are listed below. And when you watch the video, I mention substitutes for some and which ones are optional.
Did you see my faceted box that I shared on November 21st? Did you see my photo holiday cards that I shared November 23rd or my basic to stepped up card that I shared on November 24th? I'm still playing with this kit and hope to come up with scrapbook pages and a Project Life layout soon. So stay tuned. (And if you are one of my subscribers, you received my extra exclusive project ideas two days ago. Look for that email.)

As cute or beautiful or interesting as Paper Pumpkin may (or may NOT!) be right out of the box, it is your inventive projects and ideas that make me glad I’ve never dropped my subscription. Even when there are months that don’t impress me when I first see the kit, I KNOW that you will spark an idea in me–that is, if I don’t completely CASE your work 100%! Love all the things you have done this month with this kit. Much like last year’s die cut snowflake one, I am loving all that you have created. Makes me REALLY glad that I ordered FOUR extra refills!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for such inspiring projects.
You warmed my heart as I read your generously kind words, Linda. I’m so happy that my ideas have helped you use your kits! Yay!! Big hugs to you.
I only get kit once in a while. But when I do I always wait for you to do all your alternatives. I just finished making two of the wonderland cards. They were so easy. All i changed was the black paper to navy blue. I also put the houses the way you did it on one of the cards. On the other card I put the houses on the other side. They both look great. Thank you for taking the time to share your ideas with all of us out here in internet land. 🙂 Have a Blessed Merry Christmas and Happy Healthy New Year! ??
Hi Rachel, I am not sure how I stumbled across your You Tube video but let me tell you, watching was a total WOW!!!!
Your alternative cards are simply Stunning!! And your wine gift tags have got to be one of the most creative alternative Paper Pumpkin projects I have seen I can’t thank you enough for sharing your talent with us all!!
I would love to see what you’ve made, Rita! Are you on Facebook? If so, are you in the Paper Pumpkin Fan Club group? (That’s a great place to see even MORE ideas.)
Thanks for your kind words. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours as well!
Awwwww….thanks, Cynthia. You made my day! I’m glad you enjoyed my ideas.
