Okay, I came up with MORE alternate project ideas using the December 2018 Day by Day Paper Pumpkin kit!!! Hahaha! And I decided the best way to show them to you was in a video. So I demonstrated them in a live broadcast yesterday on Facebook.
Be sure to watch the video (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog), check out the measurements and full products list below, scroll through the close-up photos of the projects I presented that day, and then let me know if you have any questions.
Here are close-up photos and the measurements you’ll need if you plan to recreate any of these projects.
THE FESTIVE CARD
Measurements for card…
Night of Navy Cardstock
5-1/2” x 8-1/2” scored at 4-1/4”
Whisper White Cardstock
4-3/4” x 3-1/2” for card
Three strands of Organdy Sale-A-Bration Ribbon
19” each
(Cut the sticker sheet from the kit down to 4-7/8″ tall.)
THE RESOLUTION TRACKER
Measurements for page…
Pool Party Cardstock
3” x 4”
Night of Navy Cardstock
3” x 4”
6” x 4”
Scrap for punching 1-1/4” circle
Whisper White Cardstock
Full Sheet for printer
1” circle
2-3/4” x 2-5/8”
Gold Foil Sheets
Scrap for punching 1-1/8” Scallop Circle
Ribbon from kit
19″
4″
(Cut the calendar from kit to 4″ tall. Then cut what is left over to just under 3″ wide.)
THE BOX
I didn’t demonstrate this one in the video, but hopefully these written measurements and directions will help.
Measurements for box…
Basic Black Cardstock
5-1/2” x 3-3/8″ (outer lid)
5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ (inner lid)
5-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ (inside box base)
Ribbon from kit
22″
Directions…
Open up box base. Put Tear & Tape Adhesive where shown.
The longest flap (the one that covered the bottom of the box) will become the cover. Mark using a pencil and ruler just beyond 4-1/2″ from the second score line. Then use Trimmer to score along that mark AND to trim off the tiny tabs.
Assemble box again without putting the longest flap back in.
Attach the Basic Black Cardstock pieces using Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Then to reinforce the lid even more and keep it from bending at that third score line, add Tear & Tape to the back of the coordinating “calendar topper” cardboard piece from the kit.
Wrap the ribbon around the box lid, bring the ends through the holes of this cardboard piece, and tighten the ribbon as you center & secure the piece in place.
Tie a bow in the ribbon, and trim the ends.
Fold the cover at the score line you created and add velcro dots to hold it shut.

Whether you need to celebrate an achievement, a birthday, or a new phase of life, the celebrate sentiment stamp image from the Painted Glass stamp set works well. I made and sent out quite a few of these cards a couple weeks ago. And I even snuck in a couple products that will be appearing in the 2018 Holiday catalog on September 5th – Champagne Shimmer Paint and All Is Bright Designer Series Paper.
Products: See below for a full list of supplies linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Here are the details for making this card.
Measurements:
Whisper White Thick Cardstock:
11″ x 4-1/4″ scored at 5-1/2″ and folded in half for card base
4″ x 5-1/4″
Champagne Foil Sheet:
4″ x 1/2″
2-3/4″ x 1-1/2″
Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet: 2-1/2″ x 1-1/4″
All Is Bright Designer Paper (bokeh design): 2″ x 4″
Whisper White 1/8″ Sheer Ribbon: 7″
Directions:
Stick the 2-1/2″ x 1-1/4″ Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet on the back of the 2-3/4″ x 1-1/2″ Champagne Foil Sheet. Then run through the Big Shot with the semi-circle stained glass thinlit.
Tie a tiny bow with the sheer ribbon. Trim the ends after tying.
Put SNAIL along the upper back edge of the designer paper, and attach designer paper to 4″ x 1/2″ strip of Champagne Foil Sheet so that the foil just peeks out a tiny bit. Then adhere this to the bottom of the 4″ x 5-1/4″ Whisper White Thick Cardstock.
Without removing the backing from the adhesive sheet on the back of the die-cut semi-circle, lay this stained glass piece where it will look best. Then stamp the celebrate sentiment just above.
Now that the sentiment is stamped, adhere the stained glass piece just below the thin section of Champagne foil sheet (along the top edge of the designer paper) so it is centered with the sentiment.
Fill a spritzer about 3/4 of the way full with rubbing alcohol. Add a couple drops of Champagne Mist Shimmer paint. Close & shake well.
Take this card layer outside or in a well-ventilated room and spritz on the shimmer paint mixture. Allow to dry. The alcohol evaporates quickly to keep the paper from warping.
Add this layer (using Dimensionals) to the card base. Then add the bow with a Glue Dot.

It’s so fun that Stampin’ Up! is expanding it’s line of Stampin’ Blends Markers. The color choices were doubled when the 2018-19 Annual Catalog went live in June. And when the 2018 Holiday Catalog kicks off on September 5th, there will be 6 more colors (12 more markers – dark and light of each color) added to the other 22 colors: Real Red, Shaded Spruce, Blackberry Bliss, Cajun Craze, Mango Melody, and Basic Black! Yay!!
I needed to make several team cards recently. I really wanted to play with lots of new colors of my Blends markers, but I didn’t have time to use several colors on each card. I had to make the cards quickly. So I solved that dilemma by making each card a little bit different. The coloring was still quick, but I was able to play with Granny Apple Green, Poppy Parade, Flirty Flamingo, Highland Heather, Daffodil Delight and the upcoming Mango Melody.
I paired the Brights Designer Papers with the coordinating Stampin’ Blends Markers on these 10 cards. I love how cheerful the Perennial Birthday stamp images make these fun “Celebrating You” cards.
Here are the details for making the cards.
Measurements:
Whisper White Thick Cardstock: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″ and folded in half for card base & scraps for stamping and punching the 3 circles
Basic Black Cardstock: scrap for punching the starburst shape
Brights Designer Paper: 3″ x 5-3/8″
Basic Black Cord: 10″
Products: See below for a full list of supplies linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Directions:
Stamp images on the Whisper White scraps, color them with Blends markers, and punch them out – sentiment with the 2″ Circle punch, small leaf image with the 1″ Circle punch, and the flower/leaf image with the 1-3/4″ Circle punch.
Punch the Starburst shape from the Basic Black scrap and layer with the sentiment piece.
Adhere designer paper to the front of the card base, wrap the Basic Black cord from the inside to the front and secure each end (where the circles will cover them) with Glue Dots.
Stamp dots off to the right of the designer paper on the lower section of the card as shown.
Connect all the circles together, then add Dimensionals to back along the outer areas.
Add a couple Dimensionals on top of the black cord. Then attach the connected circles piece to the front of the card.

Your order must be placed in my online store by August 30, 2018.
You must apply this host code to your order if your order is $50 – $149.99*: APHEMP3X

Demonstrators were able to preorder these items during this month of July, but I didn’t have mine for too long before we left for our Alaskan family vacation. So I was only able to make one card so far.
I loved this card enough to make it my July swap card. The coloring (which I did with 4 new Stampin’ Blends colors) took some time, but thankfully I only had to color a small portion of the full image.
Measurements:
Soft Sea Foam Cardstock:
11″ x 4-1/4″ scored at 5-1/2″ and folded in half for card base
scraps for punching leaves and stamping/die-cutting small oval
Basic Black Cardstock: 3-5/8″ x 5-1/8″
Shimmery White Cardstock: 3-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ scrap for die-cutting and stamping flower image
Vellum Cardstock: scraps for punching leaves
Share What You Love Designer Paper: 5″ x 3-3/4″
Products: See below for a full list of supplies linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Directions:
Stamp “congrats” and die-cut with smallest Stitched Shapes Oval die. Die-cut Shimmery White Cardstock scrap with largest Stitched Shapes Oval die, then stamp floral image on the left portion of the oval.
Color the floral image with Stampin’ Blends markers.
Punch two sets of vellum leaves and two sets of Soft Sea Foam leaves.
Attach a vellum and a Soft Sea Foam leaf cluster coming out the back, lower left of the oval piece.
Add the Basic Black Cardstock to card front, add the designer paper to Basic Black, then add the oval layer with Dimensionals to the designer paper.
Add a Dimensional to the left side of the back of the small congrats oval. Add the second vellum leaf cluster so it shows out the top of this oval. Then add the small oval to the larger white oval.
Attach the second Soft Sea Foam leaf cluster to the inside of the card. Then embellish the card with rhinestones and a Mint Macaron faceted dot.
