Welcome to our All Star Tutorial monthly blog hop for the Sun Prints Suite! Be ready to be immersed in this suite with all that we have to share.
I absolutely love the products in this suite! I used the pretty paper on June 22nd in my fish Faker Shaker card. You’ll see the papers again and more of the suite again in my October 30th post with the Octagon Star Boxes. And on November 2nd I shared some pretty Triangular Cross Fold cards using these items.
So today I wanted to share with you some more Octagon Star Boxes…this time using the larger measurements like I shared in my how-to video and blog post posted a few hours ago. You’ll notice one is taller than the other. But that is the only difference when it comes to the measurements. So I’ve listed the measurements for each below. It’s just a 2″ difference.
Products I used… a complete list of products I used is shown below, and everything is linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements for the taller box…
Basic White Cardstock
11-1/8” x 11-1/2” scored parallel to the short side at 1-3/8″, 2-3/4″, 4-1/8″, 5-1/2″, 6-7/8″, 8-1/4″, 9-5/8″ and 11″ then scored parallel to the long side at 3-1/4″ from the bottom and 1-3/4″ from the top (follow the video in this Grand Octagon Star Boxes post from earlier for instructions on extra score marks, cuts, folds, and assembly)
Scrap for stamping and die-cutting sentiment piece
Sun Prints Designer Paper
Eight strips that are 1-1/4″ x 6″ (Cut from one piece that is 6″ x 10″ to keep a flowing pattern)
Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon
16”
Vellum Cardstock
Scraps for die-cutting leaves
Measurements for the shorter box…
Basic White Cardstock
9-1/8” x 11-1/2” scored parallel to the short side at 1-3/8″, 2-3/4″, 4-1/8″, 5-1/2″, 6-7/8″, 8-1/4″, 9-5/8″ and 11″ then scored parallel to the long side at 3-1/4″ from the bottom and 1-3/4″ from the top (follow the video in this Grand Octagon Star Boxes post from earlier for instructions on extra score marks, cuts, folds, and assembly)
Scrap for stamping and die-cutting sentiment piece
Sun Prints Designer Paper
Eight strips that are 1-1/4″ x 4″ (Cut from one piece that is 4″ x 10″ to keep a flowing pattern)
Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon
16”
Vellum Cardstock
Scraps for die-cutting leaves
Tips…
Watch the video in this Grand Octagon Star Boxes post. It will guide you through cutting, scoring, folding, and assembling the base of these boxes.
Color the ribbon with the Night of Navy Blends Marker. Then set it aside to dry. Notice how the base color of the ribbon influences the finished look. The Fresh Freesia ribbon is a cooler, more purple-toned blue. The Soft Succulent ribbon is a warmer, softer blue.
Stamp, then die-cut the label. Score in on each end at 5/8″. Add to the box front with Dimensionals (placed on the back side in the middle and on the ends so the label wraps around).
Tuck the die-cut vellum leaves under the labels. You may need to trim if they aren’t tucking far enough.
Then add the rhinestones.

#APaperPumpkinThing Welcome to our monthly APPT (A Paper Pumpkin Thing) blog hop where we showcase Paper Pumpkin kit alternate projects! This time we are highlighting the October 2022Ho Ho HoPaper 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 see all these other 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 open up this post in a web page and see the blog hop list.)
Here are the cards 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’ve already shared some other alternate projects using the contents of this kit on October 21st and 23rd.
Twelve cards made from the supplies of three
A couple Octagon Star gift boxes
A Double Joy-Fold card
And two different 12×12 scrapbook layouts
Today I am sharing…
Two cards that focus on just the stamps from this kit and very few additional supplies #simplestamping
And the designs of each were influenced by other cards that I’ve received recently. So I’ll share those as well.
The blue card in the background was a swap (also shared October 28th) from fellow demonstrator, Lori Callies. I loved the beauty she created with just inks, stamps, paper and a few pearls.
So I used the same measurements and masking technique…just different colors, stamps, and embellishments.
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…
Parakeet Party Cardstock
5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to the short side at 4-1/4″
Sweet Sorbet Cardstock
3-3/8″ x 4-5/8″
Basic White Cardstock
3-1/4″ x 4-1/2″
4″ x 5-1/4″ (inside layer)
I used large Post-It® Notes that I had in my stash, cut one to 1″ tall, and placed it across the middle of the small white layer. Placing marks on Grid Paper helped me make sure I had straight lines for my masking.
After stamping the snowflakes in Starry Sky (some stamped without reinking for that lighter color), I stamped the stars to fill in the spaces. Can you tell?…I cut my star stamp in two pieces so I could stamp a few single Parakeet Party stars and some pairs of stars in Sweet Sorbet ink. Then I filled in even more gaps by making dots with my Tahitian Tide Marker.
When all that stamping was done, I pulled my sticky note mask away and stamped “merry” in the middle off to the right. I layered this white cardstock onto the Sweet Sorbet piece with Seal Adhesive. Then I added this with Dimensionals onto the folded card base and embellished by adding small rhinestones to the centers of the darkest snowflakes.
On the inside white layer I added more words and one more snowflake with rhinestone.
My second idea came from a birthday card gifted to my son, Nick from my parents. I used the snowflake and star images with the 2021-23 In Color Opal Rounds to embellish the garlands on my card.
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 White Thick Cardstock
5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to the short side at 4-1/4″
Fresh Freesia Cardstock
3-3/4″ x 5″
My 8-1/2″ diameter Corelle® plate and a pencil were the simple tools I needed to lightly draw in my curved garland strands.
I stamped my snowflakes and then drew over the lines with my markers. I erased all my pencil lines, stamped my stars, and then filled in with the Opal Round embellishments.
I stamped my “ho ho ho” and “Tis the season…” sentiments and attached my inside layer. Super simple and super fun!
I’d love to see your version of either card design! If you are on Facebook and are part of my Stamp Your Art Out Group, be sure to share.
I hope I inspired your creativity!

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
Orchid Oasis
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″
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.

Welcome to our All Star Tutorial monthly blog hop for theRustic Harvest Suite! Be ready to be immersed in this suite with all that we have to share.
I’ve been having fun with these products. On August 12th I shared some simple easel cards with the Rustic Harvest Papers and Hello Harvest Stamp Set. On September 29th I shared three pumpkin cards with the same layout but different themes and appearances. And on October 1st I shared a very unique box as my contribution to the All Star Tutorial. So today I thought I’d share with you a couple more cards – one with a technique you can do with embossing powder.
A few hours ago I shared live on YouTube and on Facebook how to make embossed splatters and add a few other “artisan details” while creating a pretty pumpkin card with the Hello Harvest Stamp Set, Rustic Pumpkin Dies, Leaf Fall 3-D Embossing Folder, Gold & Vanilla Satin Edged Ribbon, embossing powder, daubers, and more. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post.

Welcome to our All Star Tutorial monthly blog hop for the Abigail Rose Suite! Be ready to be immersed in this beautiful suite with all that we have to share.
My friend and fellow demonstrator, Nancy Reynolds sent me a fun fold card the other day. So I used Nancy’s card for inspiration and designed another version of it with the products from this featured suite. (Nancy gives credit to Crafty Karen Designs. Click here to see Karen’s version.)

Here are the cards 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’ve already shared some other alternate projects using the contents of this kit on August 22nd.
Seven alternate cards (including tulle shakers and a pop-out bendy fun fold)
And a fun set of tags in a multi-pocket holder
Today I am sharing…
Cards featuring the tags I had shared on August 22nd
AND… a small square jewelry gift container
If you watched my how-to video for the August 22nd projects, you may have watched me cut the tags and wished I had written those measurements down for you. So I went a step further…I hope this helps to visualize how I cut my pieces for those tags. (I just added this photo to that post too.)
After cutting and assembling those tags for that August 22nd project,…
…I thought it would be fun to turn them into cards. For this first one, I used a Blending Brush to add some Mossy Meadow ink to a quarter sheet of Basic White Cardstock (4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″). Then I embossed it and added it to a Basic White card base (5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ folded in half). I tucked and taped the twine behind, add the tag with Dimensionals, and embellished with a couple bees.
I did that same process with the second card, but used Melon Mambo ink instead.
And I added Brushed Brass Butterflies (which are part of this week’s Weekly Deals and 20% off through September 7th) instead of bees.
This fourth card is even simpler to make. I really just added two layers (2-1/8″ x 4-1/8″ Gold Foil and 2″ x 4″ Cherry Cobbler) with Seal and then the tag with Dimensionals.
And this last one features the Kraft Note Cards which are also part of this week’s Weekly Deals and 20% off through September 7th. I simply added a bit of the gold hexagon sheet from the kit and then the tag. That’s it…super simple. Be sure to watch that video from August 22nd so you can see how I initially put these tags together.
After I turned the tags into cards, I thought it would be fun to turn the tag holder into a multi-gift card holder. I mean who wouldn’t want three $10 gift cards to Panera?! Hahaha…yes, it’s one of my favorite places. (For the supplies and directions for this holder refer to the August 22nd post.)
OR…you could even take the tag off of this holder and turn that into a card. Here I added it to a Basic White Note Card and added in a couple sections from a gold hexagon sheet to make it appear as one long strip.
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.
I also made this small square jewelry gift container.
I got the idea from this one my friend Natalie Travis gave me last spring. Isn’t it pretty?
The base cardstock is 3-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 1″, 1-1/4″, 4-3/4″ and 5″. After scoring I embossed, then I scored again because the initial score lined disappeared. Hahaha! So you may want to emboss first and then score. The inside layers are the same as the outside ones. So you’ll want to cut two 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″ Gold and two 3-1/8″ x 3-1/8″ Early Espresso.
I then die-cut the 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ stitched square, stamped it, and colored with a Blender pen to fill in the petals and flower center a bit.
I added the 20″ of Gold Twine (securing in the front with a Dimensional) and the sunflower layer (with Dimensionals).
There is an extra layered piece that holds the jewelry. I die-cut one more Basic White square and layered it onto a 3″ x 3″ Early Espresso square. Then I pierced two holes and sniped from the upper outside corners down to the holes. This layered piece is just loose and slips in and out.
This is the way the jewelry gift container looks from the side when folded up and tied shut.
And again this is how it looks from the front.
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.
