It’s time for the August 2019 PPPBH! This month’s Paper Pumpkin kit is called The Gift of Fall* and it’s a real beauty. There are so many colors, and so many pretty pieces to decorate the gift bags in the kit. There is also an add-on kit subscribers can purchase that has cards and envelopes. I used both to create my projects for today.
*What we in the US call Fall, folks in other English speaking parts of the world call Autumn.

Here’s what I did:
Products in italics will be available beginning September 4, 2019.
Cut using Paper Snips:
tag from a note card front, using a white tag from the kit as a guide
Stamped with the Gift of Fall stamp set:
berry sprigs in Golden Glitz and Celestial Copper Delicata Metallic inks onto the note card front and the tag front
sentiment in Merry Merlot ink onto the label
NOTE: The Delicata Metallic inks take longer to dry than the classic inks, so I heat set the stamped images with my heat tool. The shimmer of these inks doesn’t show well in the photos. They have a lovely glimmer to them which is subtler than heat embossing.
Assembled the card:
burnished the fold in the note card base with a Bone Folder
2 vellum leaves glued onto the front of the card base
1 vellum leaf glued onto the sentiment label
sentiment label adhered onto the front of the note card using Stampin’ Dimensionals
Assembled the bag:
3 vellum leaves and 5 Crumb Cake leaves glued onto the tag
5 gold sequins applied onto the center of the leaves
tag glued onto the front of the gift bag

Here’s what I made:
I’m out of town at a craft retreat and don’t have my lightbox, so my photos look different than usual.
The card: I tried to create a reflection of mountains and sky. It isn’t a perfect mirrored image, but I think you get the idea.
The treat bag: I made a simple tag that matched the card, and attached it using a copper library clip from the Tags & More Accessory Kit.
