Two more ideas for all of you who received the Something for Everything December 2019 Paper Pumpkin kit

I love the challenge each month of coming up with my final project design (a gift for 5 of my lucky subscribers) using my leftovers from what I’ve already created with my kit. And as you may guess from what I’ve made and shared already on December 21 and January 2, there weren’t that many supplies left over from my kit. But I did it!

I used the polka-dot pattern on the envelope flaps and the green circle stickers to punch out 5 pair of snowmen I needed 2 snowmen per project because they are back to back sandwiching the ribbon to make these bookworm bookmarks.

Here is the bookworm being used in my Outlander book. Can you see the snowman shape upside down in the body of the bookworm? I made and shared a version of these in my last Facebook Live on December 22nd. Below are the measurements and directions for making these bookmarks and holders with the Something for Everything kit supplies.

Products I used… See below for a complete list of extra products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.

Measurements…

• Whisper White Thick Cardstock
  • 2-1/4” x 8-1/2″
  • Scrap for punching Starburst for sentiment piece
• Basic Black Cardstock
  • Scrap for punching 2-1/4″ Circle for sentiment layer
• Kit envelope flaps or circle stickers
  • Scraps for punching two snowman shapes
• Kit gold sticker sheets
  • Scrap for punching heart from the Dog Builder Punch
  • 1/8″ x 2-1/4″ strip
• Kit card base
  • 2-1/4″ x 2-1/4″
• Gold Metallic-Edge Ribbon, Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon, or Old Olive/Pretty Peacock Reversible Ribbon
  • 12″

Directions…

• Punch two snowmen. (To get two from one circle sticker, cut the sticker in half equally. Then use a sticky note to guide them into the punch. This will help you to fit them in that amount of space better.)

• Connect them together back-to-back using Tear & Tape Adhesive while sandwiching one end of the ribbon between.
• Color small black circles in the centers of two large pearls to create eyes. Draw on the mouth and stick on the eyes to make the face for your bookworm.
• Position the bookworm towards the top of the 2-1/4″ x 8-1/2″ Whisper White base. Then attach (with two Glue Dots on the outer edges) the Basic Black 2-1/4″ Circle so it becomes a pocket for the worm’s body. Then fold up the ribbon and attach (with Tear & Tape Adhesive along the outer edges) the bottom 2-1/4″ x 2-1/4″ card base piece so it becomes a pocket for the trailing ribbon.
• Add the stamped sentiment, the gold heart, and the gold strip.

Here is the original one I made (and sent to Stampin’ Up! for their December 2019 kit Facebook Live).

I really love the look of the Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon.

My second project is another pyramid card.

I shared the first one (on the right in the photo above) along with other alternate projects in a how-to video on December 21st. Click here to see that video and more photos of that card.

I didn’t list directions here for making this type of card since this card is better explained in a video. But because this green card is a little different, I’ve listed a couple tips to finish off this version of this card. You can also see this card shared in Stampin’ Up!’s December 2019 kit Facebook Live. Below are views of all the sides when the card is assembled.

Here are the details if you wish to recreate this.

Products I used… See below for a complete list of extra products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.

Measurements…

• Polka-dot yellow card base from the kit
  • 4″ x 4″ polka-dot yellow piece
• Striped green card base from the kit
  • 4″ x 4″ solid green piece
  • 4″ x 4″ striped green piece

Extra Tips…

• Watch the how-to video that I shared on December 21, 2019 for directions for assembling the base of this card.
• Stamp off to get a lighter Terracotta Tile Orange ink for the trailing flowers.
• Attach the sentiment piece with a Dimensional under the left edge and a Glue Dot under the right. Trim up the excess AFTER adding to the card.
• Use an Embossing Buddy to get the “sticky” off the back of the flower and leaf stickers if you wish to raise them up onto Dimensionals. On my card my left flower and both leaves are up on Dimensionals.

• Keep the decor within the triangular borders so you can fold your card in half to mail.
