It’s time for the PPP Blog Hop 01-2020! This month’s kit is called I’ll Bee Yours and it makes adorable note cards and treat bags. Of course, we are sharing alternate projects with you today, so you can see just how versatile the kit is. I used the kit to adorn a Whisper White card and a Mini Pizza Box. And the sentiment is, you guessed it, a pun! You know how I like puns.
I cut a hole in the card front and filled it with vellum for a soft, ethereal feel. I used the cut out piece on the box. No waste!

It’s time for the APPT Blog Hop for September! This month’s kit is called Bone Appétit, and it makes adorable treat boxes. I used the kit to decorate one of the boxes a little differently from the directions in the Bone Appétit kit, and to make a card that mimics the dots on the box. I love the intricate die cut “webs” of bones. And the die cut skeletons are so cute! The one on my card is holding a sign with the greeting, “Happy Halloween,” which is just one of several great sentiments in the Bone Appétit stamp set. I’ll be using this stamp set a lot, since our Halloween party theme this year is Bones!
I’m sorry there have been several days in the past couple weeks when I didn’t get a blog post done. If you’ve followed me for a while, you know that during this time of year our house is consumed with Halloween party prep. There’s little room in the whole place to walk because of all the boxes and totes packed full of skeletons, skulls, bones, etc., as well as other Halloween goodies. There’s a lot to do and not a lot of time left to do it. So please forgive me if I’m not as present online as usual in the next few weeks.

It’s time for the Inking Royalty Blog Hop for September! This month’s theme in Autumn. And what could be more Autumnal than beautifully colored leaves? For my project, I used products from the Come to Gather Suite to decorate a gift bag from last month’s Paper Pumpkin kit. (You can see another project I made using these bags here.) From the suite, I used the Gather Together bundle (Gather Together stamp set and Gathered Leaves Dies) and Come to Gather Designer Series Paper.
I was going to use the Come To Gather Ribbon Combo Pack as well, but I got so carried away with the leaves, I didn’t think it needed it. I used each embossed leaf die (3 in the set) to cut two each of four colors – and I used 18 of the 24 leaves I cut! Guess I just couldn’t stop until I had a big leaf pile! Doesn’t it make you want to jump in and scatter them?
Be sure to hop all the way around to all the stops. You don’t want to miss any of the great projects from this talented group!

It’s time for the APPT 08-2019 Blog Hop! This month’s kit is called Gift of Fall and it is a beauty. There are lots and lots of die cut pieces to use, so you can mix and match them in many ways. There is also an Add-On Bundle available with coordinating note cards and envelopes. I used one of the note cards to create a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ card, and I used tags from the kit to line a Clear Tiny Treat Box (I just love these little boxes; they’re so versatile!) Be sure to hop all the way around to all the stops of the APPT 08-2019 Blog Hop to see all the wonderful alternate projects for this month’s kit.

Here’s the add-on bundle:

Here’s what I made:
I didn’t line the bottom of the box, but you certainly could. I wanted to save the rest of the tags for other projects.
This is the corner of the box where the two blue ends meet.
This is the corner where the red ends meet.

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
Blackberry Bliss card stock (CS) cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
3 colorful tags from the kit cut to 2″ x 4″ and scored in half at 2″
a note card separated into two pieces, the front and the back, cutting away the score line
excess from the left end of the small banner with the card sentiment (after stamping)*
Stamped with the Gift of Fall stamp set:
box sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink onto a small banner from the kit
*card sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink onto the right end of a small banner from the kit (then cut away the excess at the left end)
Cut using a 1/2″ Circle Punch:
finger notch in the side of one of the trimmed colorful tags, so it will be at the front of the box when inserted
Assembled the card:
burnished the fold in the larger (Blackberry Bliss) card base with a Bone Folder
Crumb Cake leaves glued onto the front of the card base along the left side and the top
note card front adhered onto the front of the larger card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals
sentiment glued onto the note card front, near the bottom left
gold sequins applied onto the wreath image on the note card front
note card back glued onto the inside of the larger card base
vellum piece glued onto the inside of the card base
Assembled the box:
burnished the folds in the box with a Bone Folder, and folded it into the box shape
inserted two of the trimmed colorful tags to line the sides (I inserted them so the two blue ends would meet each other, and the two red ends would meet each other. I made sure the punched finger notch lined up with the notch in the front of the box.)
inserted the third trimmed colorful tag into the box so it lined the top and continued down the back of the box (inside the piece already there lining the sides)
2 vellum pieces glued onto the back of the small banner with the box sentiment
about 8 or 9 Crumb Cake leaves glued onto the back of the vellum pieces
sentiment banner/vellum/leaves adhered onto the top of the box using Tear & Tape (you can use the glue dots that came in the kit)
