#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 September 2019 Bone Appétit Paper Pumpkin kit. To follow the hop and see other creative project ideas, simply scroll down and click on the names of other hop participants.
Here is a photo of the intended projects from this month’s Halloween-themed kit: 20 food-safe treat boxes with bone-chilling tags. Did you miss out on this kit? Right now as this post is published, the full and refill kits are available in the online store! (see below for links) So if you missed out, become an active subscriber and purchase the kit.
I’ve already shared a few other alternate projects using the contents of this kit on September 22nd.
Today I have for you a 12″ x 12″ scrapbook page spread focused on family/ancestral photos as the theme with Dia de los Muertos as its inspiration. Dia de los Meurtos (Day of the Dead) is a celebrated October 31 – November 2 and is a time to celebrate, pray for, and remember loved ones who have passed away. Common symbols for the holiday are the skull and skeletons which is why this paper pumpkin kit put this idea in my head. Flowers are important, too. And the colors are bright and vivid. So of course I brought in the Brights pack of cardstock. These colors are amazing against the black background!
I had a LOT of fun creating these pages using the Flourish Dies, the Hand-Lettered Prose Dies, the Snowman Builder Punch, and elements from the September 2019 kit. Here are the details and more close-up photos.
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.

Directions…
Punch snowmen, then trim them to create large and small skull shapes.
Use the Basic Black Dark Blends Marker to draw on eyes and noses.
Layer the Basic Gray photo mats onto the coordinating Whisper White pieces using SNAIL.
Die-cut LOTS of flowers and leaves in a variety of colors.
Die-cut the letters for your title.
Color the bones of your skeletons.
Adhere the Basic Black Cardstock pieces to the 12×12 Poppy Parade page bases. But don’t add adhesive close to the edges. This way when it comes time to trim up the floral die-cuts along the edges, it will be a bit easier to get at them.
Adhere layered photo mats using SNAIL.
Adhere skulls, tags and hands using SNAIL.
Layout the floral pieces, skeletons and letters for the page title. Then sponge a small amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue across the back of each piece, and one by one add them to the page.
Trim up any flower die-cuts extending beyond the black cardstock
Add Glitter Enamel Dots for a bit of sparkle and to fill in areas that needed a little something.
I hope I inspired your creativity with what I shared today!

I’ve been a huge fan of impressionist art (in particular the work of the French impressionist painter, Claude Monet) since I was a young girl. And I about fell over backwards when I opened up my first pack of this beautiful designer series paper (yes, I’m on my 3rd pack already only 3 months into the catalog).
These are the four designs I framed for my living room. And below are close-up shots of the 3-D flowers I added in the 2nd frame.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
For the smaller white flowers I used the Medium Daisy Punch. For the larger white flowers I used the Daisy Punch (the larger one). For each flower I punched two of them from Whisper White cardstock. Then I lightly brushed Blushing Bride ink from the middle out using a Sponge Dauber so that each petal had just a touch of pink. I glued then together, then curled the petals forward with a Bone Folder. I added a Daffodil Delight 1/2″ Circle to the center of the larger flowers. Then each flower got a Perennial Essence Floral Center in the middle.
For the purple flowers I used the 1-1/2″ Circle, the Balloon Bouquet Punch, the Magnolia Memories Dies (the skinnier 3-petal shape), and a very narrow (starting at 1/4″ and ending at 1/2″) and long (about 8″) strip of paper. After punching, die-cutting and hand-cutting the pieces from Purple Posy ink, I sponged on swipes of Blackberry Bliss ink – darker in the middle/center and lighter going out towards the end of the “petals.” I curled everything with the Bone Folder.
Then I started by building the outside of the flower by gluing 6 larger balloons/petals to the 1-1/2″ circle base so the tips of the balloons touch each other. Next I glued 6 smaller balloon “petals” on top of that. Again…so the tips of the balloons touched each other. Then I added two Magnolia Memories Die shapes using hot glue instead of just the Multipurpose Glue. And finally I added a tightly rolled up strip in the center using hot glue.
I did NOT use the Balloon Bouquet Punch for the small purple flower. But instead I started with three layered Magnolia Memories Die shapes and ended with a tightly rolled up strip in the center using hot glue.
They were easy to make using the punches and dies, but they did take a bit of time.
Finally I arranged them where I thought they looked best and glued them down. I punched out leaves from the Old Olive vellum and foil paper. I curled them with a Bone Folder and inserted them here and there with Glue Dots.
As we move into the fall season, this artwork on my wall will definitely bring some extra sunshine to those days as they grow colder. The kids are off for their first day of school and will be waking up soon. So I’m off to go help them get ready.

#APaperPumpkinThing
Yay! I’m excited for our Paper Pumpkin blog hop today! 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 April 2019 Sentimental Rose Paper Pumpkin kit. To follow the hop and see other creative project ideas, simply scroll down and click on the names of other hop participants.
Here is a photo of the intended project from this month’s kit – 9 pretty note cards: 3 each of 3 designs and a coordinating gift box.
I shared a several ideas (cards with dimension mainly) with this kit yesterday, but today I have some fun bookmark ideas to show.
I even recorded how to make them in this video (my Facebook Live broadcast from yesterday). Watch the video first to get measurements, directions, and tips (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog). Then scroll down to see close-up photos, access the links that I mentioned at the beginning of my video, and see a list of extra supplies (linked to my online store) that I used to make my creations.
If you wish to recreate these monster bookmarks with your kit contents, here are the measurements and a few more close-up photos below.
Measurements for the two monster bookmarks:
Gray Granite Cardstock
3-1/2” x 3-1/2” then cut at the diagonal (only need one)
Scrap for punching one ¾” circle
Mint Macaron Cardstock
Scrap for punching two ¾” circles
Extra Stampin’ Up! Products I Used for ALL the bookmarks: See below for a full list of extra supplies linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Here are photos and tips for my other three bookmarks that I made.
THE ROSE CORNER BOOKMARK
Tips for this one:
Use the same measurements above. The printed floral paper in the kit is what I used for the main design. I just cut it to 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″, cut it diagonally to get my piece, and then stamped the leaves. I cut my leaf stamp to get just one leaf! (Yep!! It sounds crazy, but I did. And then when I want to stamp the three leaves together another time I just mount my two stamps together on the block.) I punched the top corner with the Detailed Trio Punch and tied some twine through.
THE RECTANGULAR BOOKMARK
Tips for this one:
I stamped the rectangular piece the same way I stamped it for my kit card. I added the sentiment image, added the enamel dots, and then punched the top with the Detailed Trio Punch. I added the Mint Textile Ribbon and tied it together tight with some twine.
THE RIBBON BOOKMARK
Tips for this one:
I stamped my two label pieces…The sentiment one also has some really light (stamped off twice) Mint Macaron leaves. The floral side has two punched out Flirty Flamingo flowers added with Glue Dots over the top of the leaves. I attached these finished labels to the Silver Foil scallop circle pieces. Then I sandwiched the end of the Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon between the two labels using Tear & Tape Adhesive.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared today!

You will not see these items in the upcoming 2019-20 Annual Catalog that debuts June 4, 2019. Click here for more information.
I have more alternate project ideas to share with the January 2019 Be Mine Valentine Paper Pumpkin kit! Sometimes I get on a roll, and I just can’t put a kit aside. Hahaha! I hope you are inspired by these creations. If you didn’t get the January kit, I hope you are still able to apply these ideas to other products you may have on hand.
Rather than writing out all the details & directions for each of these creations, I shared them in my Wednesday’s Facebook Live broadcast. (I also shared upcoming new products that will be available February 15th and March 1st.) Then I uploaded the recorded version of this video to my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is 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 what I created, 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.
FLIP FOLD WECOME BABY CARD
My three versions: With the top two I used the full kangaroo stamp image and matching dies from the coordinating Animal Expedition Suite in my kangroo underneath. In the bottom card I used no dies at all. Instead I used the Sprig Punch, fussy-cut the pouch area from the stamped Kangaroo image, and added it to another kangaroo piece from the kit.
Here are a couple photos I took while making these three cards. I didn’t like the harshness of all black ink, and I didn’t like the softness of all Smoky Slate ink.
I also didn’t like how the die-cut stamped kangaroo didn’t line up with the kangaroo in the kit (totally fine for making other projects, but not good for this flip-fold card where the cut outs needed to be stacked).
So this one (the bottom of the three) ended up being my favorite.
Measurements for card…
Whisper White Cardstock
11” x 4-1/4” scored 5-1/2” and folded in half
3/4” x 8-1/2”
Melon Mambo Cardstock
4-5/8” x 3-3/8”
Kit Box Base (Pool Party side)
4-1/2” x 3-1/4”

Scraps for punching two sprigs
BUNNY TREAT
Measurements for Bunny…
Whisper White Cardstock
Scraps for punching two ¾” Circles
Scraps for punching 1-1/8” Scallop Circle
Basic Black Cardstock
Scraps for punching two 1/2” Circles

Scrap for punching one ¾” Circle (opt.)
HEART BOX
Measurements for Heart Box…

#APaperPumpkinThing
Yay! Today is the day where a creative team of us Stampin’ Up!® demonstrators bring to you our special “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 January 2019 “Be Mine Valentine” Paper Pumpkin kit. To follow the hop and see other creative project ideas, simply scroll down and click on the names of other hop participants.
This kit contained enough supplies (plus extras!) to make 24 of these cute Valentine treat boxes. (Click here to see the January 2019 kit video put out by Stampin’ Up!® where you can view how to put these treat boxes together.) I loved how generous Stampin’ Up! was with the consumables. There were a ton of extras left over to make into cards or other projects. AND this kit coordinates with Stampin’ Up! products from the Animal Expedition Suite. So the options are truly amazing for alternate project ideas.
I shared a few ideas on Tuesday, but today I have another card to share AND a Memories & More photo pocket page layout. I used the Beautifully Detailed Laser-Cut Paper for both of them bringing in more Petal Pink color to go with the enamel heart embellishments in the kit.
I thought this bunny page would be perfect for sharing photos of a new baby!
The hearts can be “bullet points” where the baby’s stats or gifts received are listed.
And the baby’s name could be written in the large heart as the title of the page.
But it could also be a fun layout for Easter photos.
If you wish to recreate the page layout with your kit contents, follow the measurements and tips below.
Measurements of extra products:
Basic Gray Cardstock (photo mats):
Three pieces that are 3″ x 4″
Two pieces that are 6″ x 4″
Petal Pink Cardstock:
6″ x 4″
Whisper White Cardstock:
6″ x 4″
Scrap to punch the 1-1/8″ scallop circle bunny tail
Measurements of kit products:
Box bases (two):
Cut two bunny ears from one base, then cut the remaining piece to 4″ x 3″
Cut the other base to 4″ x 4-1/4″
Extra Stampin’ Up! Products I Used: See below for a full list of extra supplies linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Tips:
Trim pieces desired from the laser-cut paper, sponge Multipurpose Glue on the back side, then adhere.
Punch the bunny’s head from an extra circle piece in the kit. Assemble bunny before attaching it to the page piece.
The bunny tail, the large heart, and the small hearts are all attached with Dimensionals. You may want to write on the large heart before adding the Dimensionals.
The laser-cut paper on the piece with the small hearts came from a border section. Cut that section a little longer than 4″ then cut in half down the middle to get the “mirroring” pieces.
The cards I created will be going out in the mail next week to a few of my subscribers. I love how Cherry Cobbler and Petal Pink look together, so the only extra products I used to make these cards are the laser-cut paper, Petal Pink cardstock for the inside layer in the card, Cherry Cobbler cardstock, and Cherry Cobbler ink.
Each card is a little unique because of the variety of pieces I cut from the other sheet (shown in front below) of laser-cut paper.
If you wish to recreate this card with your kit contents, follow the measurements and tips below.
Measurements of extra products:
Cherry Cobbler Cardstock:
11″ x 4-1/4″ scored at 5-1/2″ and folded in have for the card base
Petal Pink Cardstock:
3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ for the inside layer
Extra Stampin’ Up! Products I Used: See below for a full list of extra supplies linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Tips:
Trim pieces desired from the laser-cut paper, sponge Multipurpose Glue on the back side, then adhere tucked under the heart. Don’t adhere heart until laser-cut pieces are added.
The sentiment layer, the heart on the inside, and the kangaroo are all attached with Dimensionals.

I made my baby shark slightly different that the one that Jessica shares in her video. I didn’t have the Four-Petal Flower Punch and used the Leaf Punch for both the dorsal fin and the tail. Plus I made the shark’s teeth a little differently.
Products: See below for a full list of supplies linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Here are the steps I took to create my version.
Stamp the mouth (using the moon stamp) on a ghost from the kit in Flirty Flamingo ink.
Punch a 3/4″ Basic Black circle. Punch a Whisper White set of leaves.
Color the leaves and the shark with the Light Pool Party Stampin’ Blends marker as shown.
Punch a scrap of Whisper White first with the 1/2″ Circle Punch. Then encompass and punch this with the Starburst Punch by placing two “teeth” of this punch super close to the 1/2″ circle.
Angle in and snip out four “teeth.”
Adhere the 3/4″ black circle behind to make the eyes black.
Add the dorsal fin (the skinny leaf) coming out from behind the top of the head.
Add the two other leaves to form the tail.
Then glue on the teeth.
