Today is the last day to sign up (or have an active subscription) for Paper Pumpkin so you get in on this next kit titled Hope Box.

So I thought I’d share a couple more projects that I put together with some of my leftovers from last month’s The Adventure Begins kit. (By the way, I’m so sorry that I missed participating in the blog hop last week. It’s been a very busy time for us at home lately. Here is a link to Sara’s blog post so you can go back check out all that was shared: https://theartfulinker.com/a-paper-pumpkin-thing-blog-hop-the-adventure-begins/)

I made two pop-out window cards. And they were so fun and easy to put together! I’ll walk you through one of them first. 

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.

Measurements…

• Basic Black Cardstock
• Kit card (2 of the cards with the camper/trees)
  • tree scene
    • 4″ x 5-1/4″ scored parallel to the long edge in half at 2″
    • 4″ wide x 4-1/4″ tall
  • window/camper/white
    • 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
    • 6-1/4″ wide (left side still attached to a 2″ wide section of white) x 5-1/4″ tall (see second photo down…trim off the white borders on top and bottom) scored down the middle of the window area (should be 2-1/8″ from the right edge)
    • 2-1/4″ wide x 5-1/4″ tall (see second photo down…trim off 1/4″ on the bottom) scored parallel to the long edge at 1/4″ 

Directions…

• Prepare all your pieces to size.
• Cut the camper away from the inside window piece.
• Fold on the score lines as shown in the above photos.
• Add the taller tree piece to the inside of the card base. Be sure that adhesive is only along the side edges. Connect the two together in a closed position with the middle edges as snug together as possible. Note, when the card is open a gap will naturally occur down the middle. This is normal AND is the reason adhesive shouldn’t be added in the middle.

• Connect the skinnier white later to the right side of the inside window layer. The right edge of the inside window layer should overlap and meet up with the crease of the skinner white layer. Then fold this “w” flat. Add to the inside by first adhering one side and then folding the card base flat to add the other side.

• Cut down the tree and the camper a bit. Then glue just inside the window areas.

• Stamp sentiments on the inside and on the other window layer that will be on the front of the card.
• Add the smaller tree layer to the front of the card. Add the window layer with Dimensionals.

• Then add sequins.

The second card is done the same way. But I used Shaded Spruce Cardstock for my card base. And I didn’t trim out and re-add any elements on the inside window. Oh! And I used star embellishments instead of sequins from the kit.
