Happy Thanksgiving! It’s that time of the month again…when I post my Paper Pumpkin video of alternate project ideas. This month I got my kit a little later than usual. So instead of two separate blog posts, I’m placing my initial introduction of the kit with the video in today’s post as part of the monthly blog hop I’m in.
#APaperPumpkinThing
Welcome to our monthly “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 November 2021 Gifts Galore 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. (If you are receiving this blog post by email, click HERE to see the hop.)
This month’s kit contained the supplies shown below to make nine festive Christmas treat boxes (3 of 3 designs).
These are the treat boxes the kit instructs how to make. (Click here for a link to Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video to help you assemble these as intended.)
I never assemble my kits as is, because I like to show subscribers other ways to use those supplies. I like to think outside the box…see what else I can come up with, and create alternate cards, scrapbook pages and more. So today I’m sharing with you…
- How the main image pieces can easily make 30 cards
- Some gift size card ideas
- Alternate treat/gift boxes
- And a simple snowman gift card holder
Watch my video first by clicking here to get to get measurements, directions, and tips (or you can just click on this image below if you are already in my blog post). Scroll down to see close-up photos, access the links that I mentioned in my video, and see a list of extra supplies (linked to my online store) that I used to make my creations. Then be sure to visit my blog again, because I will have more to share on December 10th.
Here is my slightly altered snowman treat box with shiny coal eyes and buttons and a sparkly carrot nose.
And here are close-up photos of the other projects I made and shared in my video. (Remember to watch my video first to get measurements, tips and directions.)
