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 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

Love you more than cookies! And that’s a lot! Today I’m sharing a card I made with the Nothing’s Better Than Bundle (Nothing’s Better Than stamp set & Love You More Than Dies.) It has a window in the front and the inner sentiment pokes up through it when the card is closed.

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 apart a treat holder from the kit according to the photos below
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.
