#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 August 2020 World’s GreatestPaper 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.)
Here is a photo of the intended projects from this month’s kit: nine full-size cards (three of three kinds measuring 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″) and includes coordinating envelopes.
I’ve already shared a few other alternate projects using the contents of this kit on August 23rd.
Today I am sharing a 12″ x 9″ Accordion Display Gift Album.
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 of extra product…
Pacific Point Cardstock
12″ x 9″
Two pieces that are 3″ x 9″
Basic Black Cardstock
Two pieces that are 2-3/4″ x 8-1/2″
Six pieces that are 2-5/8″ x 2-5/8″
Mint Macaron Cardstock
Six pieces that are 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″
Just Jade Ribbon
Two pieces that are 10″
Measurements of kit product…
Mint Macaron card base
Two pieces that are 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″
Pacific Point card base
Two pieces that are 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″
Two pieces that are 1-1/4″ x 2-3/4″
Just Jade envelope flap
Two pieces that are 1-1/4″ x 2-3/4″
Directions…
Score the 12″ x 9″ Pacific Point Cardstock parallel to the short end at 3″, 6″ and 9″. Then rotate and cut parallel to the long end at 3″ and 6″ but don’t cut all the way through…start 1-1/2″ in from one end and stop the cut 1-1/2″ in from the other. Lastly rotate once more and add two more scores to connect the ends of these cuts (1-1/2″ in from each end).
Cut all the other pieces to the sizes indicated in the measurements above.
These images show how you could cut from the kit cards and envelopes.
Snip two vellum branches and add them to the blue printed squares hiding any adhesives under the gold banner strips.
Trim 1/2″ off of two more gold banners and add them to the dark green printed rectangle pieces.
Start layering all the pieces on. (The blue printed rectangles will be added later.)
Fold as shown, then flatten shut.
Add the ends of the ribbon pieces. One will go against the out edge of the Pacific Point base (where the back 3″ x 9″ Pacific Point panel will connect). Be sure to slather on lots of Seal+ Adhesive. Keep the adhesive in the middle first. Then add the 3″ x 9″ Pacific Point piece on top. Once this is lined up and secure in the middle, lift the ends to add a bit more Seal+ to secure.
When you open the album back up, notice that there is an extra area of blue behind the right middle section. This is where you will add the other ribbon covered by a blue printed rectangle. At this point you could also add the other 3″ x 9″ Pacific Point to the front off the closed album and the front side along with the other blue printed rectangle. No ribbons are added here.
OH! in the above photo you can see I added the other vellum leaves and gold leaves on top. I sponged Multipurpose Liquid glue to the back sides of these leaves to adhere them.
Add the 2-3/4″ x 8-1/2″ Basic Black layers to the front and back of the closed album. And then decorate the front as shown.
Tip: Trim the corners from the Fovever Gold piece as shown. It will fit better under the largest white circle which is actually the large blue circle piece from the kit.
This is the album all the way open.
And this is the album closed and tied shut.
I hope I inspired your creativity with what I shared today!

MY ONLINE PAPER CRAFTERS CLUB IS LOOKING FOR NEW MEMBERS We are looking for more to join our online Paper Crafters club. The commitment is to order at least $25 worth of Stampin’ Up! product in each of 6 consecutive months.

And then you’d also be able to get in on monthly product perks that would be sent to you along with your monthly club cards.
Our 2020-21 school year begins in about a month. And we just found out that our school district will be starting off with a hybrid platform – half the kids physically attending two days a week, the other half attending two other days, and the remaining days set for distance learning. So I imagine teachers will have to manage teaching both in-person and online at the same time for four days a week? Not to mention having to sanitize and instruct while trying to keep a germ-free environment. Crazy if this is the case! We will find out more soon. But to all of you teachers out there, I bow down to you! It’s a 24/7 job as it is. I can’t even imagine how much more time and creative energy this darn pandemic is causing you to put in. You ARE appreciated.
This project that I’m sharing today is something that could be given to a teacher this fall to show them that appreciation. OR…it a teacher wants to mass produce a bunch of these, they could become gifts for the students on the first day of school. These gifts could be made fairly quickly once you get the hang of the folds for the card and cuts for the box.
I just showed live on YouTube about an hour ago how to assemble these gifts which include a mini shirt card, a bookmark, and container to hold them with a PocketBac Hand Sanitizer. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for what I demonstrated. (Please subscribe to my YouTube channel so you can get updates when I share and go live).

It’s amazing how one tool, this new Whale Builder Punch can bring me such joy. 🐳
Today my post is short, but sweet. I assembled the parts and pieces after punching Whisper White and Basic Black Cardstock with this fun punch. And I put together this Orca 3×3 gift card.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
Whisper White Cardstock
3″ x 6″ scored parallel to the short side at 3″
Scrap for punching whale (or even just a portion of the whale)
Basic Black Cardstock
Scrap for punching whale
Whale of a Time Designer Paper
2-7/8″ x 2-7/8″
Directions…
After punching the whale shapes, assemble the four main whale body pieces. (I sponged on the Multipurpose Liquid Glue for the belly. And I attached the fins with Glue Dots.)
Put a super tiny drop of Multipurpose Liquid Glue down for the eye, and adhere a tiny blue sequin.
Stamp a few fish on the designer paper.
And then assemble by adding the designer paper to the front of the card and adding the whale to the middle of designer paper.
This would be perfect with the “Whale Done” sentiment stamped on the inside. You could give it (inside a 3×3 Envelope) with a gift or sneak it inside someone’s room, lunch bag, purse, or coat pocket. It’s tiny enough to even leave with a tip to a waiter or waitress at your favorite restaurant.

My Stampers With Art group had some fun with another sketch challenge recently. Have you seen those card (and page) sketches out there? They are just too fun. You get a visual idea of what your creation should become, but you then use the products you have on hand to make it come alive. Here is the sketch challenge we used this time: Sunday Stamps Challenge #202. The last one my group took part in was shared was on May 25.)
And here are some of the cards we came up with. I hope these ideas provide some creative inspiration for you! Those that made each card are mentioned in the watermarks of the photos. A big thank you to all of the creators! The two I made are at the bottom along with my measurements, tips and supply list.
Here are the two I made with the Playful Pets Designer Paper and some coordinating products. If you would like to recreate these cards, here are some details below.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
Base cardstock (Real Red or Basic Black)
4-1/4″ x 11″ scored parallel to the short edge at 5-1/2″
Cardstock panels (Basic Black or Real Red)
Three pieces that are 1-1/4″ x 3-1/4″
Silver Foil Sheets
Three pieces that are 1-1/8″ x 3-1/8″
Focal point cardstock (Basic Black or Real Red)
Scrap for punching shape under the pet
Playful Pets Designer Paper
Three pieces that are 1″ x 3″
Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon
6″
Directions…
Emboss front of base cardstock with Subtles Embossing Folder.
Punch focal point cardstock. I punched the one under the doggy with the smooth heart from the Heart Punch Pack, and I punched the one under the kitty with the Tailored Tag Punch.
Fussy cut the animal. If you have the matching die set (Pets Dies), you can die-cut this kitty.
Layer the designer paper pieces onto the Silver Foil Sheet pieces. Then layer these onto the cardstock panel pieces. Start with the top piece and attach these layered panels to the base cardstock using Seal+ Adhesive.
Apply Seal+ to the bottom right portion of the middle panel and the top right portion of the bottom panel – where the middle of the folded ribbon will sit. Then attach the folded ribbon diagonally.
Attach the punched shape with Dimensionals. Then attach the cut out animal.
I hope this sketch challenge inspired you to try this layout with your own products.

Like the Feels Like Frost paper that debuted last fall and is returning again in August (woohoo!), this Whale of a Time 6×6 Designer Paper is PERFECT for making 3-Panel Scenery Z-Fold cards. I shared a couple of these cards on June 9th. Click here to see them shared on my blog and click here to see these cards initially introduced in my Box Opening video in my Stamp Your Art Out Group on Facebook. AND… around the same time Nancy and Kayla from stampingbae.com where making one, too! Click here to see the one they shared.
So here is my third version.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.

Basic Black Cardstock
5-1/2” x 8-1/2” scored at 1-1/4” and 4-1/4”
2-1/4″ punched circle

Whale of a Time Designer Paper
6” wide x 5-1/4” tall – cut into 3 sections 2-1/4” wide, 1-5/8” wide and 2-1/8” wide

Whale image punched from another designer paper piece
Directions…
Stamp sentiment on Whisper White circle.
Form the pop-up piece for the whale by folding the small designer strip into a 4-sided “tube.”
Then assemble card by attaching panels in this order: Whisper White strip, left designer paper panel (add while card is closed to make sure it covers the Whisper White strip), right designer paper panel, and then the middle designer paper panel. (Click here to see my how-to video for this type of fold for a little extra direction. Just keep in mind that my measurements for the pieces in the video are a bit different.)
Add the Basic Black 2-1/4″ circle. Then add the sentiment circle piece.
Attach the pop-up 4-sided tube piece so that the two back sides attach to the middle and right designer paper sections of the card. (Make sure the card can open and shut when attaching this piece.)
Then add the whale using a Glue Dot or two on the tail. (Again make sure the card can open and shut when attaching this piece.)
Glue on a few sequins to make it all sparkle.
