I loved creating with the August 2019 Paper Pumpkin kit! And today I want to share with you two more projects… a mini album (which you MAY have seen when it was shared by Cole Lambourne at Stampin’ Up! during their Facebook Live broadcast on August 27th) and the pretty card that I sent to a few of my lucky subscribers.
I made the album with with envelopes from the coordinating Gift of Fall Add-On Kit and elements from the August Paper Pumpkin kit.
The next few photos show all the inside pages in order.
Here is how I assembled my six envelopes for the album.
I sandwiched them with adhesive on the two outer flaps and down the center within the 7-3/4″ x 5-3/8″ Merry Merlot Cardstock cover that I scored in the middle twice (3-3/4″ from each end).
And then I added Merry Merlot and Pretty Peacock Cardstock for photo mats.
I used one more envelope to decorate the front and…
…the back. Those layers help to hold the 30″ of ribbon in place.

Here is the card that I sent to a few of my lucky subscribers.
You’d of course want to write along the left side of the inside of the card so that when the card is closed, what you wrote wouldn’t show through the see-through areas of the designer acetate. Here are some details if you wish to make this card yourself.
Measurements…
- Whisper White Thick Cardstock
- 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2″ and folded into a z-fold
- Crumb Cake Cardstock
- Scrap for punching sprig
- Mercury Glass Designer Acetate
- 3-3/4″ x 5″
Directions…
- Fold the Whisper White Cardstock into a z-fold. The crease should be in the middle. To the right of the crease is the inside area of the card.
- Add 3-1/2″ of Tear & Tape Adhesive just to the left of the crease on the folded flat card base. Then add the acetate layer so it is centered. You should see 1/4″ white border on all four sides if you centered it well.
- Wrap 48-50″ Linen Thread about four times around the top layer near the crease concealing the Tear & Tape adhesive underneath. Tie in a knot, then in a bow. Adjust if necessary to bring the bow to the center.
- Add the colorful berries/leaves vellum piece with Glue Dots so it is tucked under the thread.
- Add the Crumb Cake punched sprig with Glue Dots so it is tucked under the thread.
- Add a leaf piece from the kit (flipped over to the white side) with Glue Dots so it is tucked under the thread.
- Stamp the sentiment onto the label piece. And add to the acetate so it is overlapping the ends of the foliage pieces and the thread.
- Add a Flower Faceted Gem.

I love the Mercury Glass Acetate card! I used an acid free glue stick to adhere it, along with the one piece of tear tape. It’s holding well and you can’t see the glue at all. Your creations are fun and easy to recreate, which I love. Thanks so much!
Thank you Marsha! And thanks for sharing what worked for you. ?
