Today is the last day to sign up for (or have an active subscription for) Paper Pumpkin so you get in on this month’s December kit. And if your subscription is through me, you’ll be able to enjoy exclusive ideas shared in video tutorials from the PPX Crew of six talented Stampin’ Up! demonstrators.
Did you get this past month’s kit? If you did, be sure to check out my fun alternate projects that I shared on November 23 and December 3. Today I have a few more that I created with the November 2020 Jolly Gingerbread kit: a simple treat holder/ornament, a z-fold card, and a framed home décor piece.
Extra 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.
The simple treat holder/ornament is just that…super simple.
Tips…
- Cut the flap off the kit envelope. And decorate the front and back with stamp images while flat.
- Fold the opening in the opposite direction to form a sour cream shaped container.
- Add two strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive as shown. And fill the container with candy/treats.
- Pinch closed.
- Pierce a hole and add some ribbon if you wish to make these into ornaments.
The gingerbread fronts and backs are perfect centerpieces for a full-size card. So go a step further by adding an extra fold in the base to make a fun z-fold card.
Measurements…
- Whisper White Thick Cardstock
- 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to the short end at 2-1/8″ and 4-1/4″
- Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper (or some other fun/fancy paper since this is now sold out)
- 4″ x 5-1/4″
Tips…
- Stamp and decorate a gingerbread front (or back).
- Add Dimensionals only to the back of the left half.
- Then mount this the middle of the Plush Poinsettia layer.
- Add some Seal Adhesive to the back of the Plush Poinsettia paper only in the area behind the house where the Dimensionals are.
- Fold the card base into a z-fold and add the Plush Poinsettia layer.
- Open the card and stamp/embellish the inside.
The framed home décor piece was SOOOooo fun to make. I basically did the same thing in this project that I did with my scrapbook page layout that I shared on November 23. Click here to view that post and watch the how to video for tips and tricks. I used a 9×9 frame.
Measurements…
- Whisper White Cardstock
- 9″ x 9″
- 8″ x 8″
- Mint Macaron Cardstock
- 8-1/4″ x 8-1/4″
- Shaded Spruce Cardstock
- 1/4″ x 8″ (two pieces)
- Scraps for punching four trees
- Snowflake Splendor Ribbon
- 8-1/2″
- 7″ (three pieces)
Tips…
- Click here to view my post and watch the how to video for tips and tricks for the scrapbook page that I made in a similar fashion.
- Tear all snowy ground layers from the 8″ x 8″ piece of Whisper White. Then layer them using Seal or Dimensionals between the layers. Be sure not to put adhesive too close to the top edge. Otherwise you may not be able to tuck in the candy embellishments.
- To add the Shaded Spruce strip and ribbon on the top, apply Seal Adhesive directly to the Mint Macaron layer then attach. You can wrap the ends of the ribbon around the back, or just trim them.
- I added the bows with Glue Dots from the online store. The ones that come in the kits aren’t strong enough for this ribbon.
I hope I inspired your creativity with what I shared today!
