Stampin'Up! Petals & Paisleys Thanksgiving Card and Gift Box

Hello and Welcome!

Today I am sharing a Thanksgiving Card and Gift Box, made with the Stampin'Up! Petals & Paisleys Collection. The Paisleys & Posies stamp set has so many images and sentiments that can go with different project themes as well as the coordinating Petals & Paisleys Specialty Designer Series Paper and other accessories. For this project I used the Rich Razzleberry and Delightful Dijon, I think these colors work together very well, however there are still so many more beautiful color combinations in this collection, you can find them all over the web from other talented demonstrators.

I hope you like this project idea and found some inspiration. All the supplies used for this project are available on my Stampin'Up! online shop or click on any of the images in the supplies table below.

Paper Pumpkin October 2016 Season of Gratitude Another Alternative

Hello and Welcome!
Today I am sharing another alternative for the Paper Pumpkin Season of Gratitude. On my previous post I created four different ideas.  I decided to make two of each and I still had supplies to make more cards, I used some cardstock I had on hand and some framelits, so here is what I came out with.

This card size is 5-1/2" x 4-1/4". I used the Petal Burst Embossing Folder to give it a little texture.

I wanted to make some Crackled Pumpkin boxes to pack some candy and the best choice was the Curvy Keepsake Box stamped with the crackle stamp from the kit in Pumpkin Pie color and I used the splatter stamp from Gorgeous Grunge with Copper Stampin' Emboss Powder. I also used the 5/8" Mini Striped Ribbon in Delightful Dijon.

I love the look of the Crackled Pumpkins!

I hope you enjoyed these ideas, this kit has so many options I am sure you all are going to have fun creating your Thanksgiving cards and gift boxes.

Paper Pumpkin October 2016 Season of Gratitude Alternatives

Hello and Welcome!

Today I am sharing the Paper Pumpkin October 2016 Season of Gratitude Alternatives. This kit contains all the supplies for 8 shaker cards and envelopes, it also includes a versatile stamp set with gratitude sentiments which is a great addition to our collection! This is another opportunity to create those so popular Shaker Cards with trims and sequins in such beautiful colors that brings the Autumn season.

I created four alternatives by using several extra Framelits dies and coordinating cardstock. You can make two of each design or make the other four cards as the original instructions.

I used Copper Stampin' Emboss powder for the sentiments, and a piece of Petals & Paisleys Specialty Designer Series Paper behind the window pane.

I hope you liked these alternatives and decide to make your own sets. I had so much fun creating these cards, I have some leftover supplies I will be using for other Fall projects, so please come back and visit again!

Please watch the following YouTube video for the October 2016 Season of Gratitude original kit design.

Stampin'Up Fresh Fruit Note Cards and Gift Tags Set

Hello and Welcome!
Today I am sharing another project made with the Stampin'Up Fresh Fruit stamp set and Fruit Stand Designer Series Paper. I also used the lemon image from A Happy Thing stamp set which was a Sale-A-Bration item and it is now retired, however I wanted to incorporate this image in the gift set since lemons are the theme for this gift.
I made this gift as a Thank You for a very special family and great friends of ours. They have a fruit garden and they have shared these amazing lemons with us! The green lemons you see on the pictures are real, home grown by them, the lemons are super juicy, green for now however they will turn yellow very soon thus they are the inspiration for this gift. Enjoy!

The stationary box is 5-1/4" X 6".  See Instructions below to make this box.

 

I used Whisper White Note Cards and Envelopes and the Layering Ovals framelits dies. For the tags I used Whisper White Thick card stock cut at 3-1/2" X 2" and punched with the scalloped tag topper.

Stationary Box Instructions:

Box Base: Cut a piece of card stock at 7-1/4" X 8" and score it at 1" on each side fold scored lines and assemble the box base. 

Box Lid or Cover: You need a piece of card stock (color of your choice) 12" X 6-1/2". Score on the 12" side at 5-1/2 and 6-1/2. Fold the score lines, Round the 4 corners and attach this piece to the box base leaving 1/4" allowance around your base.

Cut another piece of card stock same color as your box lid 2" X 6-1/2" and round 2 corners. I cut 2 pieces of ribbon about 8" long each piece. Attach one of these pieces to the top edge of lid placing the ribbon on center in between these pieces. Repeat the same for the bottom section of the box lid.

Divider: Cut a piece of coordinating card stock at 5-1/4" X 4" and score on the 4" side at 1", 2" and 3" Fold score lines in a mountain valley way add adhesive between your mountain section, this will form the divider as you seen on picture above.

I hope you liked this Note Card and Gift Tag set idea.

Paper Pumpkin August 2016 Bold Botanicals Alternatives

Hello and Welcome to my Blog!
Today I am sharing some alternatives for the Paper Pumpkin August 2016 Bold Botanicals. When I first saw the supplies and coordinating colors, perfect to use with the new Stampin'Up Copper embossing powder! I knew I wanted to make a set of cards and a Box with a little bit of a Western look, and this is what I came out with.

For the Gift Card Holder I wanted to create a bigger package, here I placed the gift card pocket inside a  4" x 5"note card. 

I also made a very simple box (with a little Western look) for the cards using some of the stamps, colors and supplies in the kit.

I hope you liked these alternative ideas and found some inspiration to create your own. Paper Pumpkin kits are so much fun to create since includes all the supplies and instructions to make a set of cards or if you have extra materials you can make your own alternatives too!
