#APaperPumpkinThing
Welcome to our monthly APPT blog hop to showcase Paper Pumpkin kit alternate projects! This time we are highlighting the September 2022 Spooky Treats Paper Pumpkin kit. See what I have to share. Then check out all the other blogs in the hop for additional creative ideas my fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrator friends shared. To follow the hop and see these other creative project ideas, simply scroll down and click on the names of the other hop participants. (If you are receiving this blog post by email, click HERE to see the hop.)
Here 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 already shared some other alternate projects using the contents of this kit on September 23rd.
- How to turn the supplies for the 18 treat containers into 36
- Six Halloween cards made from one set of kit supplies
- Three non-Halloween treat boxes
Today I am sharing…
- A scrapbook two-page spread
- Some fun masquerade/Halloween masks
- A simple cauldron Halloween treat
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 pages are my favorite! I’m excited to add photos to these.
Measurements…
- 2022-24 In Color 12×12 Cardstock

- 12×12
- (2) 4-1/8″ x 5-1/2″
- (3) 3-1/2″ x 4-1/4″
- Starry Sky
- 12×12
- 4-1/8″ x 5-1/2″
- (4) 3-1/2″ x 4-1/4″
- Orchid Oasis
- Basic Black Cardstock
- 1-1/4″ x 12″ (cut in half with a wavy line)
- Scraps for die-cutting 3 houses
- White from the kit’s box pieces
- Scrap for stamping smaller ghost
- Fresh Freesia from the kit’s box pieces
- 3″ x 3-1/2″
Directions/Tips…
- Use a scissors to cut the Basic Black strip into two. Flip one over and add black Glitter Washi Tape along the bottom straight edges to create the ground pieces.
- Add black Glitter Washi Tape about 1/8″ in on all four sides of one of the 3-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ Starry Sky pieces.
- Add black Glitter Washi Tape across the Fresh Freesia piece to cover the score line. And add this layer to the washi taped Starry Sky piece. Attach the spider and then with Dimensionals the stamped “trick or treat” scalloped circle.
- When adhering the ground, the die-cut houses, the photo mats, and title piece, don’t add the adhesive close to the edges. This way you can tuck pieces if you need to. I also added a strip of black Glitter Washi Tape up next to the highest house.
- Stamp the stars next to the houses.
- After stamping the smaller ghost, color in the eyes and mouth with the Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker. Add the ghosts with Dimensionals. And then just add a “trail” with the sequins.
Here is another way you could position the pages – with the ghosts on the inside. Which way do you prefer?
When I cut my boxes from the kit apart to create my alternate projects that I shared on September 23rd, I had leftovers that when put side by side looked like masks! So I decorated them up and created these.
Directions/Tips…
- Use a mirror and figure out how far or close the two pieces should connect. Then adhere with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
- Widen the eye holes if you wish by just fussy-cutting.
- Decorate with stamps and kit pieces. The “wings” on the white mask are the back sides of the ghosts. The bat around the eye on the orange mask was just one that I fussy-cut. But you could use a pencil and draw one. Then color it in with a Sharpie Marker.
What a fun way to fancy your face up without make-up for a masquerade or Halloween party.
This last idea is just a way to use up some of the black tissue paper that comes in the kit so you can make even more treats.
I literally just tied five Dum Dum suckers together with some twine. I then added a square of tissue paper (about 7-8″ square) from the bottom up and added more twine to keep this in place with the sucker sticks showing out the top. It reminded me of a witches cauldron. I suppose that cute Witch Hat Punch and coordinating Bewitching stamp set would pair well with this treat, but instead I just added a stamped sentiment piece from the kit.
I hope I inspired your creativity with what I shared today! If you did not get this kit, I hope you can apply these ideas to products you already own.
