September 2022 Paper Pumpkin - Spooky Treats and Alternatives

 Stampin'Up! did it again.  What a cute Paper Pumpkin kit with so many possibilities to create!  I had fun playing with this month kit called Spooky Treats.  If you make the kit as is you get to make 18 boxes, six of three different designs.  Aren't these adorable



Perfect size for a few treats for your friends, family, neighbours or your Childs class!  I made a few other alternatives using the stamp set and/or pieces from the kit.  So many cute options that you can do!  Which is your favourite?

This card I just added some Basic Black, Crushed Curry and Basic White cardstock with a piece of designer series paper (DSP) from the host set of DSP called Celebrate Everything.




The next card I added some Orchid Oasis, Starry Sky, Pumpkin pie, Crushed curry and Basic White cardstock and the Witch Hat Builder punch.  I made the witch hats a little bit smaller by cutting above the band and glueing them back together.  I used the striped box for DSP!



The last card is a shaker card!! I added some Basic Black and Fresh Freesia card stock and the rest of the paper is from the kit.  


Make sure you watch my video to see how to put the boxes together!






Next months kit is Christmas themed and cards!!! Get started on your Christmas cards now! Make sure your order by October 10th to get this amazing kit

Stamping with Jen - Stamping Symphony Blog Hop - Autumn and anything but a card!

 Happy September 15th, before we know it will be Thanksgiving. So this months theme was Autumn/Fall and anything but a card.  I am normally a card girl, so this was a challenge for me!  We sell these really cute Kraft Boxes which are perfect to decorate and put little gifts in or to give full of beautiful homemade cards!


I decorated this using dies from the Rustic Pumpkin Dies, Tree Ring Dies and the Aspen Trees Dies and the sentiment is from the Pretty Pillbox Dies.


So I stamped the box in Crumb Cake and Old Olive ink for the leaves and sprigs.  I die cut the leaves from the Aspen Tree Dies using Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze and Cherry Cobbler.  I sponged the edges with Pumpkin Pie, Cherry Cobbler and Cajun Craze.  The pumpkin is sponged in Cajun Craze. For the sprigs, I cut them on Old Olive card stock and coloured the twigs with Early Espresso Stampin' Write markers.  The belly band is from the beautiful Rustic Harvest DSP.

A complete list of supplies are provided below.

Make sure you hop on over to the other wonderful projects from the Stamping Symphony team!
