A PEEK AT AUGUST’S PAPER PUMPKIN KIT
Lately, it’s become especially clear who the everyday heroes are—they’ve always surrounded us! Teachers, doctors, hairdressers, nurses, delivery workers, cashiers, and even our friends, kids, and family members go above and beyond to enrich our lives. These people are truly the world’s greatest at what they do! Celebrate and appreciate them with the August 2020 Paper Pumpkin Kit. The nine 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ gender-neutral cards included in this kit are specifically designed for celebrating life’s champions! Watch the promotional video to catch a glimpse of World’s Greatest by Paper Pumpkin. Coordinating Colors: Bumblebee, gold, Mint Macaron, Pacific Point, Soft Suede, white. Kit includes Distinktive stamp images – photo-realistic stamps that create an impressive detailed image with a single stamp. If you are not a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, I invite you to give it a try.

After creating the fun place setting and party décor projects that I shared on Thursday during the Paper Pumpkin blog hop, I decided that I needed a scrapbook page layout that will hold memories from that celebration that my family will have after our new campfire patio gets installed this month.
I had a few extra jar pieces that I hadn’t used yet. And my favorite elements in this last kit were the adorable fire flies. So I made those the main elements of my page layout, paired them up with the Playful Alphabet Dies and Artistry Blooms Designer Paper, and came up with this layout that I love. Here are the details…
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…
- Artistry Blooms Designer Paper (the ombre blue design)
- Two sheets of 12×12
- Night of Navy Cardstock
- Six pieces that are 4-1/8” x 5-1/2″
- Four pieces that are 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″
I began creating my pages by placing my jars and bugs where I wanted them and then filled in with my photo mats and stars. Once I knew where I wanted everything to be, I began cutting and attaching my photo mats.
Directions…
- Attach photo mats as shown above.
- Create the title…Position the letters for your title to figure out how much room they are going to take up. Measure that area being sure to leave a little wiggle room. Cut out that much Foam Adhesive and attach it under the post card piece from the kit.
- Once the Foam Adhesive is attached, die-cut all your letters for your title.
- Vellum reveals adhesive. So attach the letters across the jars first. Add any bugs that will be on the outsides of the jars, too.
- Then flip the jars over and place Glue Dots under the letters and bugs so the adhesive is hidden.
- Adhere the jars down in place. And add the remainder of the letters, the rest of the bugs, and the stars.
If you need more alternate project ideas using this kit, be sure to check out my posts on July 21 and August 6.

Simple Cute Fruit Cards & Needing Well Wishes
I shared a couple simple cards that I made with the new stamp set called Cute Fruit at the beginning of my Online Paper Crafting Class that I aired and posted on July 15th. Click here to see that video. And then I made a couple more cards soon after the video ended. So today I thought I quickly share photos of all four of these quick and easy cards.
These are the two I shared in the video. The one on the right I CASEd from a card sample in the Beginner Brochure.
The one in the Beginner Brochure had slightly a softer look. I used a couple darker colors to stamp my sentiment, watermelon rinds, and pineapple tops.
And this card was my own design. Those faces images are just too funny.
Then I played around some more. For this third card I inked up only half of the citrus images to get a slice of orange. I gave the kiwi slices some seeds and added some dash mark designs in the corners by drawing them with the Basic Black Stampin’ Write marker. And I used that same image but stamped it in blue for a blueberry.
Then for this last card I wanted only one melon to stand out to really emphasize the wording in the sentiment. So I added a couple of those Fine Tip Glue seeds I made on July 15th and stamped the extra watermelon slices in Smoky Slate.
(The lighter gray is Smoky Slate stamped off: stamped onto scrap paper first and then stamped on the card. So it’s the same gray just a lighter version.)
You can find the Cute Fruit set here in the online store. Or you can find it on pages 6 & 7 of the Beginner Brochure. (FYI…it is not shown in the Annual Catalog.)
I hope these “sweet” cards inspired your creativity!
If you tuned in to my Online Paper Crafting Class this past Wednesday, you may be curious about my son’s injury. The diagnosis is a fracture. Yep…he fell on his pinky finger when he dismounted off the parallel bars in gymnastics Tuesday night, and fractured his largest phalange bone.
The orthopedic doctor was able to straighten it a bit at that first appointment using finger pulls and manipulation. We went home with his hand wrapped in a supportive bandage while the doctor consulted with the surgeon. But by the time we came back today to get it casted, it had moved back to the more crooked look you see here in this x-ray. So the doctor is once again going to consult with the surgeon. In the meantime while things are once again up in the air, his finger is now in a sturdier brace.
I’m getting impatient though, because the bone is already beginning to fuse incorrectly. And I’m worried that if we don’t do corrective surgery (and do it soon), this may affect the way he plays piano, plays the drums, or participates in gymnastics and other sports.

All Star Tutorial Blog Hop – August 2020
Welcome to our All Star Tutorial group blog hop! Did you get your hands on this month’s set of tutorials featuring the In Good Taste Suite?! These tutorials are designed by twelve Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world. They are exclusive to those who earn them or purchase them. And they are complete with photos, video directions, supply lists and measurements in both imperial and metric.
Here are peeks of the fantastic projects in our August bundle focusing on the In Good Taste Suite.
(Click here to find information for how to get your hands on this month’s compilation.)
And here is a larger peek of the project tutorial I contributed. It’s a fun fold card.
Our hop today will give you MORE ideas than what we are offering in our bundle. See what I have to share. Then to follow the hop and see other creative project ideas featuring the In Good Taste Suite, simply scroll down and click on the names of other hop participants in our tutorial team. (If you are receiving this blog post by email, click HERE to see links and follow the hop.)
My project idea that I’m sharing today is Paper Wallet Gift Card Holder. I remember making these years ago. And then my team members, Nancy and Kayla shared an adorable one on their blog last spring. So I’ve had it in my head to do one ever since. Well…I ended up making several because they were so easy. And then I ended up making one for each of my stamping club members! (These five are mine to keep.)
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store. And if you live in the USA and shop with me you will receive the August tutorial bundle FREE with your $50+ order!
Measurements…
- Basic Black Cardstock
- 4-1/4” x a little shorter than 10” (9-15/16″) scored parallel to the short end at 2″, 5″. 6″, and 7″.
- 1″ x 7-1/2″
- Coordinating Colored Cardstock (I used Crumb Cake, Seaside Spray, and Gray Granite)
- 2-3/4″ x 4″
- 1/2″ x 5-1/2″
- Foil Sheets (I used Silver and Champagne)
- Scraps for die-cutting and stamping the scallop circle and the 6-sided label pieces
- In Good Taste Designer Paper
- Two pieces that are 2-3/4″ x 4″
- Two pieces that are 1-3/4″ x 4″
- Flowers for Every Season Ribbon (Misty Moonlight/silver Baker’s Twine)
- Two pieces that are 6″ each
It might help to watch Nancy and Kayla’s how-to video. Click here to see it. But I also have some written directions below these photos for the ones I made. Here is what one of the wallets looks like closed.
This is the inside.
And this is the back view.
Directions…
- Fold the Basic Black base piece. Pinch the two one-inch wide sections together and secure with a strip of Tear & Tape Adhesive positioned super close the 5″ score line. Punch the slot for the gift card by bringing the Classic Label Punch only halfway in along the 6″ fold.
- Add designer paper to the back and inside areas.
- Die-cut the foil sheet pieces and stamp with feather and sentiment. Stamp the feather on the 2-3/4″ x 4″ cardstock piece and attach to the inside bottom section.
- Tie bows in each piece of twine.
- Add the foil sentiment piece and one of the twine bows.
- Close the wallet, wrap the Basic Black belly band, and secure with Seal+. Be sure that the belly band can slide off and on.
- Wrap and adhere the coordinating cardstock strip around the belly band with the ends meeting in the front. Add a couple Dimensionals to hold those ends. Then add the foil scallop circle piece and the bow.
Then just insert a gift card, add a note, and give it to a friend or loved on.
Here are the four others close up.
I hope you enjoyed this fun fold gift card holder and are now inspired to give it a go!
