Welcome to the October 2020 InKing Royalty Blog Hop! This month we are featuring Thanksgiving themed projects. I used Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper and Cinnamon Cider card stock to create little treat boxes. I made the tage using layers of card stock and two punches: the Lovely Layers Pick a Punch and the Triple Banner Punch (aka Banner Triple Punch.)
Be sure to hop around to all the stops because you definitely don’t want to miss any of the projects this super talented group has made for you today! Scroll down to see the blog hop list.

Here’s what I did:
Cut with my paper trimmer:
- Cinnamon Cider card stock (CS) cut to 3-15/16″ x 3-15/16″
- Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 3″ x 3″
- Rich Razzleberry CS cut to 1″ x 5″
- Mango Melody CS cut to 3/4″ x 5″
- Whisper White CS cut to 1/2″ x 5″
Scored with Simply Scored Tool:
- Cinnamon Cider CS scored 1″ from each side
- DSP scored 1/2″ from each side
- NOTE: You can score using the Paper Trimmer, but for boxes I prefer to use the Simply Scored tool, just to make sure all the sides are scored exactly the same.
Cut using Paper Snips:
- the box and lid as shown in the diagram (Click on the diagram to see it larger.)
Cut using the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch:
- one end of each of the three CS strips
Stamped with the Banner Year stamp set:
- sentiment in Cinnamon Cider ink onto the Whisper White CS strip
Cut using the Banner Triple Punch:
- the opposite end of the three CS strips, after they were glued together
Assembled the box and lid:
- burnished the folds in the box and lid with a Bone Folder
- each tab of the lid glued onto the inside of the adjacent side
- box sides folded up, and tabs tucked inside the adjacent side (You can glue them if you want, but I usually leave them loose. I like the way it flops open when you take off the lid.)
- tucked in some goodies (4 Hershey kisses fit perfectly) and put on the lid
- wrapped the ribbon around the box and tied in a bow
Assembled the tag:
- Whisper White CS strip glued onto the Mango Melody CS strip
- Mango Melody CS strip glued onto the Rich Razzleberry CS strip
- notched the end with the Banner Triple Punch
- tag tucked under the ribbon on the box

On one side they have an acorn trinket and copper ribbon with a die cut Happy Thanksgiving sentiment. On the other side, is space to write a person’s name for a seating arrangement, or the name of a dish for a buffet.

Sep 29, 2020 | Blog Hop, Cards, Gallery, Paper Pumpkin |
Welcome to the September 2020 PPP Blog Hop! This month’s kit is called Hello Pumpkin and it makes really cute treat holders that look like miniature versions of the crackers we have at Christmas, you know, the ones with the paper crown and little toys in them. I used the pieces to make a card and a candle wrap. https://stampcandy.net/paper-pumpkin/september-2020-ppp-blog-hop-hello-pumpkin https://bit.ly/3cyFfXj

Here’s what I made:
S
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Basic Black card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
- Whisper White CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″ for the inside of the card base
- 2 treat holders from the kit cut in half, to create 4 pieces
- 1 hourglass shape cut from the end of 3 of the treat holder halves
- 1/2″ cut from the straight (non-scalloped) side of the fourth treat holder half (Do not fold this smaller one on any of the score lines. Leave it flat.)
- the scalloped edge of a third treat holder cut away, cutting along the first score line
Stamped with the Hello Pumpkin stamp set:
- sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto the white side of a banner from the kit
- small flowers in Pumpkin Pie ink onto the Whisper White CS for the inside
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- the strip glued onto the bottom of the fourth treat holder half, lining it up with the score line as shown:
- 5 of the lacy die cuts from the kit (doesn’t matter which color because I used the white side) adhered onto the back of the treat holder half (with scallops at the top and bottom) so they show through the diamond shaped holes
- black twine tied around the whole piece and tied in a bow, then the whole piece adhered onto the front of the card base using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals
- sentiment, 3 flowers, and a curly piece glued onto the bottom right of the card front
- Whisper White CS glued onto the inside of the card base
Assembled the candle wrap:
- all score lines of the 3 remaining treat holder halves burnished with a Bone Folder
- the three pieces glued together, gluing the small tabs at one end onto the inside of the opposite end of the next one, until you have a ring
- As luck would have it, three of these fit perfectly around the Bath & Body Works candle I had. You may need to adjust for your candle.
- slipped the wrap over the candle, with the scalloped edge at the top, and pushed it down to make the cut out areas stick out
- black twine tied around the wrap and tied in a bow

Sep 24, 2020 | Autumn, Blog Hop, Boxes, Cards, Gallery, Gift Wrap, Gifts, Halloween, Holiday, Kits, Paper Pumpkin |
Welcome to the September 2020 APPT Blog Hop! This month’s kit is called Hello Pumpkin, and it makes the most adorable little treat holders. I used the pieces fro the kit to make a card and a little treat box. My treat box is 4 sided, which is different from the 5 sided one designed by Stampin’ Up! for the kit. I started by popping out all the die cut pieces from their sheets, including all the diamond shapes from the treat holders, saving everything. I used Black Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue, but you can certainly use the Dimensionals and Glue Dots that came in the kit.
Be sure to hop around to all the stops, so you don’t miss any of the great projects this group has made for you!

Here’s what I made:
The cat’s green eye really shows up in this photo:
S
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Whisper White Thick card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
- Cajun Craze CS layer cut to 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″
- Whisper White Thick CS layer cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″

Cut along the black lines. Remove the shaded areas.
Stamped with the Hello Pumpkin stamp set:
- card sentiment in Cajun Craze ink onto a die cut label from the kit
- pumpkin in Pumpkin pie ink onto the inside of the card base
- pumpkin face in Tuxedo Black Memento ink over the pumpkin
Cut using Paper Snips:
- halved a small banner for behind the card sentiment
Colored using a Stampin’ Blends Marker:
- a small Rhinestone Basic Jewel in Dark Shaded Spruce
- NOTE: I started with the Old Olive and Mossy Meadow markers, since those are the greens in the kit, but I thought the dark Shaded Spruce showed up better against the black cat
Colored using a Sponge Dauber:
- bottom edges of the box top in Cajun Craze
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the Whisper White Thick card base with a Bone Folder
- faint pencil lines drawn onto the Whisper White CS layer, vertical lines 3/4″ apart and horizontal lines 1-1/2″ apart
- diamond pieces glued onto Whisper White CS layer, using the pencil lines to arrange them evenly
- any pencil lines that still showed were erased
- Whisper White CS layer with diamonds glued onto the Cajun Craze CS layer
- Cajun Craze CS layer glued onto the front of the card base
- two halves of the small banner glued onto the back of the sentiment
- sentiment glued onto a black lace die cut piece from the kit
- two Cajun Craze flowers glued onto the bottom right corner of the sentiment, then the whole piece adhered onto the card front using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals
- black curly die cut glued onto the card front under the bottom right corner of the sentiment cluster
- green rhinestone applied onto the cat using the Take Your Pick tool
- cat adhered onto the card front above the sentiment using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals
- small pumpkin die cut adhered onto the card front, next to the cat, using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals
Assembled the treat box:
- burnished the folds in the box with a Bone Folder
- 1/4″ flap of box glued onto the inside of the opposite side, to form the body of the box
- end flaps folded in and glued together one at a time to form the bottom
Assembled the treat box lid:
- burnished the folds in the lid with a Bone Folder
- 1/4″ flap glued onto the inside of the opposite side, to form the body of the lid
- end flaps folded in and glued together one at a time to form the top
- a diamond and a black curly piece glued onto the back of a small pumpkin, then glued onto the front of the box lid
- NOTE: Since the box and the lid are the same size (width) it helps to squeeze the top of the box a little bit to get the lid over the top.
