It’s time for the June 2019 A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop! This month’s kit is called A Little Smile. It’s beach themed kit that makes 16 gift cards and envelopes with a box to hold them. I used the kit to create a full sized card and a little treat holder.
Be sure to hop around to all the stops to see all the alternative projects this talented group of stampers has made using the A Little Smile kit!

Here’s what I made:
No, those aren’t smudge marks on the flap. They’re actually part of the weathered wood pattern of the envelope.

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Coastal Cabana card stock (CS) cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
- Crumb Cake CS layer cut to 3-3/4″ x 5″
- Whisper White CS layer cut to 3-3-8″ x 4-5/8″
- two card fronts from the kit cut to 3-1/4″ x 2-1/4″
- Whisper White CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″ for the inside of the card base
- Coastal Cabana envelope from the kit scored 1/2″ from the bottom and from both sides
Stamped with the A Little Smile stamp set:
- sentiment in Coastal Cabana ink onto a die cut label from the kit, near one end
Cut using Paper Snips:
- shortened the stamped label, using another label as a template, to match the curve
- envelope flap trimmed along the score lines
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- two trimmed card fronts glued onto the Whisper White CS layer
- Whisper White CS layer glued onto the Crumb Cake CS layer
- anchor trinket strung onto the twine from the kit, then the twine wrapped around the layers, with the ends secured onto the back using Tear & Tape
- anchor secured in place using a Mini Glue Dot
- 3 glitter starfish die cuts tucked into the twine and secured using Mini Glue Dots
- stamped label tucked into the twine and secured using Mini Glue Dots
- Crumb Cake CS layer adhered onto the front of the card base using Tear & Tape
- Whisper White CS glued onto the inside of the card base
Assembled the treat holder:
- burnished the folds in the envelope with a Bone Folder
- inverted the sides and bottom to form a box
- put treats (I used small chocolates) in the holder and closed the flap
- twine tied around the treat holder and tied in a bow
