#APaperPumpkinThing
Yay! Today is the day where a creative team of us Stampin’ Up!® demonstrators bring to you our special “A Paper Pumpkin Thing” blog hop. See what I have to share. Then check out all the other blogs in the hop to see additional creative alternate paper crafting project ideas that we each came up with using the contents of the January 2019 “Be Mine Valentine” Paper Pumpkin kit. To follow the hop and see other creative project ideas, simply scroll down and click on the names of other hop participants.

This kit contained enough supplies (plus extras!) to make 24 of these cute Valentine treat boxes. (Click here to see the January 2019 kit video put out by Stampin’ Up!® where you can view how to put these treat boxes together.) I loved how generous Stampin’ Up! was with the consumables. There were a ton of extras left over to make into cards or other projects. AND this kit coordinates with Stampin’ Up! products from the Animal Expedition Suite. So the options are truly amazing for alternate project ideas.

I shared a few ideas on Tuesday, but today I have another card to share AND a Memories & More photo pocket page layout. I used the Beautifully Detailed Laser-Cut Paper for both of them bringing in more Petal Pink color to go with the enamel heart embellishments in the kit.

I thought this bunny page would be perfect for sharing photos of a new baby!

The hearts can be “bullet points” where the baby’s stats or gifts received are listed.

And the baby’s name could be written in the large heart as the title of the page.

But it could also be a fun layout for Easter photos.

If you wish to recreate the page layout with your kit contents, follow the measurements and tips below.

Measurements of extra products:

• Basic Gray Cardstock (photo mats):
  • Three pieces that are 3″ x 4″
  • Two pieces that are 6″ x 4″
• Petal Pink Cardstock:
  • 6″ x 4″
• Whisper White Cardstock:
  • 6″ x 4″
  • Scrap to punch the 1-1/8″ scallop circle bunny tail

Measurements of kit products:

• Box bases (two):
  • Cut two bunny ears from one base, then cut the remaining piece to 4″ x 3″
  • Cut the other base to 4″ x 4-1/4″

Extra Stampin’ Up! Products I Used:  See below for a full list of extra supplies linked to where you can find them in my online store.

Tips:

• Trim pieces desired from the laser-cut paper, sponge Multipurpose Glue on the back side, then adhere.
• Punch the bunny’s head from an extra circle piece in the kit. Assemble bunny before attaching it to the page piece.
• The bunny tail, the large heart, and the small hearts are all attached with Dimensionals. You may want to write on the large heart before adding the Dimensionals.
• The laser-cut paper on the piece with the small hearts came from a border section. Cut that section a little longer than 4″ then cut in half down the middle to get the “mirroring” pieces.

The cards I created will be going out in the mail next week to a few of my subscribers. I love how Cherry Cobbler and Petal Pink look together, so the only extra products I used to make these cards are the laser-cut paper, Petal Pink cardstock for the inside layer in the card, Cherry Cobbler cardstock, and Cherry Cobbler ink.

Each card is a little unique because of the variety of pieces I cut from the other sheet (shown in front below) of laser-cut paper.

If you wish to recreate this card with your kit contents, follow the measurements and tips below.

Measurements of extra products:

• Cherry Cobbler Cardstock:
  • 11″ x 4-1/4″ scored at 5-1/2″ and folded in have for the card base
• Petal Pink Cardstock:
  • 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ for the inside layer

Extra Stampin’ Up! Products I Used:  See below for a full list of extra supplies linked to where you can find them in my online store.

Tips:

• Trim pieces desired from the laser-cut paper, sponge Multipurpose Glue on the back side, then adhere tucked under the heart. Don’t adhere heart until laser-cut pieces are added.
• The sentiment layer, the heart on the inside, and the kangaroo are all attached with Dimensionals.
