A Paper Pumpkin Thing - Beary Comforting!

 

Welcome to A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop!   December's Paper Pumpkin is a sweet kit called Beary Comforting...it contains 12 card fronts which perfect for a thinking of you or get well card.  

But this blog hop is for alternative projects and here are mine! For video direction watch my Facebook Live  HERE

Right away I knew I wanted to pull out some brand new product form the upcoming Occasions Catalog Suite called Love You Always!   The sweet black and white polka dot DSP is called True Love...and is all black and white...LOVE IT!!  It is accented with Blushing Bride Metallic Ribbon.  

Add the sweet Koala duo holding a Rococo Rose Daisy...3 daisies punched from the Medium Daisy Punch.  The center is punched from the Love You Always Foil Sheets with 1/2 " Circle Punch  and Matte Black Dot Embellishments finish off the center. Using one of the Gold Foil Banners from the Kit ...add the Hooray greeting and use for a birthday , graduation or any other celebration!

Measurements :

Basic Black CS 51/2 x 8 1/2

Rococo Rose 3 7/8 x 5 1/8

True Love DSP 3 3/4 x 5

Next I made a 3 x 3 Acetate Box...perfect for treats. gift card or sweet little gift cards.

Once again I used the True Love DSP 9" x 3 " adhered around the box.  Take a Bear die cut and add a heart punched from the Love You Always Foil Sheets and the Heart Punch.  Tied off with more Blushing Bride Metallic Ribbon.  And finally using one of the gold foiled banners from the Paper Pumpkin...add a greeting the the soon to be retired Little Treats Stamp set.

Fill with sweets and fun!

The next two cards are using the beautiful gold foil cards found in the kit.   I cut down the card to a card front ...measuring 4 x 5 1/4 .  Adhered it to a Very Vanilla Card base  measuring 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 folded in half.   

Punch a 1 1/2 " circle into the two layers .  Add a Gold Foil frame made with a circle punched from Gold Foil again with a 1 1/2 " Circle Punch.   Around that punch a 1 3/4 " punch creating a frame.  Adhere to the circle punch frame to  the front of the card around the punched circle.  .  Please refer to the Facebook Live Replay HERE! for more direction.   Tie a Gold Metallic Vanilla Ribbon around the edge and add your Get Well greeting from the Beary Comforting Stamp Set.

Using your Brush Markers from the Rich Razzleberry and Calypso Coral Stampin' Write markers...ink up the bouquet stamp from the kit and add to the inside of the card. 

Add a 3/8 " strip cut from the remaining Razzleberry card for an anchoring strip on the inside of the card.  

The photos don't do this pretty card justice!

Here is the same layout only in the Calypso Coral color.

I don't know which one I like better!!

Add a few Gold Gems to the card for a bit of sparkle.

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop - Jolly Gingerbread

 

Welcome to A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop - Jolly Gingerbread!   What a fun Paper Pumpkin this month!!  It was super fun to create some alternative projects this month.   And here are mine...

Since Cinnamon Cider is one of my favorite new In Colors ever...I was excited to pull out my Designer Series Designer 6x 6 paper to coordinate and make a full size card/ gift card holder.  I wanted to make this card full size to coordinate and actually hold the gift card!

And what is gingerbread house without snow!!

 

Check out my Facebook Live  HERE to see how to create this full sized card/ gift card holder with directions.

Starting  a base card of Blushing Bride . fold in half and cut 3 " off the front of the card.  Add some snow hills and nestle your gingerbread gift card holder in the snow.  On the inside of the card...add a layered piece with Cinnamon Cider CS and Cinnamon Cider DSP.  Don't forget a small piece of Whisper White for an added greeting.

Wrap a piece of Mint Macron Woven Ribbon around the gift card for easy pull out of the gift card.  so cute!

                                                    Next ...how about a treat box / gift box!!

Check out this fun cutie...by just take two gingerbread houses and adhering the tabs together and you have a gift box or treat box!!  Stamp and embellish as you wish!

Add a Printed 3 x 3 Cello Bag filled with yummies of your choice.  

Tie with a Gingham Ribbon and using the labels ...just add a name and one of those adorable candy embellishments!!

Or using the tissue from the Paper Pumpkin...add a sweet gift to the box.

Makes for a adorable place setting decoration!!

I hope you have enjoyed my alternative projects....
