A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop – June 2017

Hi!  Welcome to the A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop for June 2017.  Today the design team is offering up variations or alternate ideas for the One in a Melon Paper Pumpkin kit.  I know you’re going to see lots of fun ideas for using the products in this month’s kit.  So, be sure to visit all of the blogs!

One in a Melon Paper Pumpkin Kit

–

–

The June 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit came with all sort of goodies!

And of course instead of making the cards and bags as designed,

I made something different since we’re sharing alternate ideas.

–

I changed up the look and created a different style card.

And, I turned the gift bag into a box.

–

For my card, I used a Thick Whisper White base.

Then, I added a ruffle created from a strip of the watermelon tissue paper in the kit.

Over the tissue ruffle is a thin strip of watermelon paper.

I cut this from one of the gift bags in the kit.

Next, I cut a scalloped Melon Mambo circle with the Layering Circles Framelits.

Over that is a Lemon Lime Twist circle cut with another of the Layering Circles.

I stamped the outside edge of the circle with the half circle stamp in the Paper Pumpkin Kit.

The stamp was inked in Emerald Envy.

Finally, I stamped a sentiment from the stamp set included in the kit

onto a piece of Whisper White.

After cutting banner ends in the strip, I added it to the card using Dimensionals.

One in a Melon Paper Pumpkin Gift Box

For my next alternate Paper Pumpkin project, I turned one of the gift bags into a gift box.

I cut part of the bag off (I used part of that to decorate my card above).

Then, I scored at 1-1/2″ down from the open top of the bag

before cutting each corner down to the new score line.

Then, I used my Gift Bag Punch Board to punch both ends of each tab.

They’re so rounded and pretty!

After creating a Whisper White belly band, I added ruffles to both sides made from watermelon tissue paper.

Finally, I added a bow to the top (it’s another bit of the bag that I cut away at the beginning).
