You can literally take a 3″ X 4″ piece of ANY DSP then add a sentiment strip and circular image or base for images. All of the supplies I used to create today’s holiday (not the Paper Pumpkin) card are listed below and on this handy printable recipe card.

Paper Pumpkin – September 2022 – Spooky Treats

Leave a comment September 18, 2022 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

The cute spooky-themed September 2022 Paper Pumpkin makes Hallowe’en treat giving a snap. This kit includes all you need to create 18 treat boxes (6 each of 3 designs) but the pieces can actually all be mixed and matched to allow you some extra creativity. These treat boxes are exactly the right size for 2 mini Halloween candy bars or a mini playdoh tub.

I actually need 21 treat boxes for my class, so I got two kits. I made 21 boxes and then used the extra bits to create some Halloween cards. The additional treat box bases I will use to make some treats for my Xmas table ( watch for these in another post). I can make my own box wrapper easily by cutting a piece of DSP or cardstock at 3″ X 8-1/8″, then score at 2-1/2″, 3-1/2″, 6″ and 7-1/8″. Here is the card I made in the video below.

And here is another card I created using one my extra box wrappers. The plaid design hides the score lines so well you can’t see them at all.

The plaid layer is 3″ X 4″. Then I used the Stylish Shapes dies to cut a vellum circle and the largest banner. I wrapped a piece of glitter washi tape across the front of the plaid layer and used the ghost and spider web from the kit. You could of course use a plaid DSP and stamp the ghost and spider web if you’ve used up all your pre-made bits. Here are the extra bits I used to make cards from this kit:

Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Thick Cardstock [159229] $12.00	Basic Black 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [121045] $12.75	Vellum 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [101856] $13.75	Label Me Fancy Punch [151297] $26.00	Stylish Shapes Dies [159183] $41.00
Glitter Washi Four Pack [159973] $12.25	Fresh Freesia Classic Stampin' Pad [155611] $11.00	Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad [132708] $8.25	Blending Brushes [153611] $17.00	Multipurpose Liquid Glue [110755] $5.50
Paper Snips [103579] $15.00	Simply Shammy [147042] $11.75	Basic White Medium Envelopes [159236] $10.25	Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine [150673] $86.00

The box bases in this kit are simple to put together (once you know what you are doing!) Check out my video to see how to put them together – I show the process many times in the video ( the first time is clumsy because I did NOT know what I was doing – so move along and watch my second, third or fourth fold – much smoother).

I hope you enjoyed this month’s Paper Pumpkin. Please leave a comment below and make sure to follow this blog for more great inspiration!

Jingle Jingle Jingle FMS 551 Card

4 Comments September 4, 2022 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

The rain showed up today – so I took advantage of the weather and stayed inside to craft. Yay! Todays’ card was inspired by the Freshly Made Sketch (#FMS551). Since I will be featuring the very FUN Jingle Jingle Jingle stamp set all week (an din an upcoming card class – details below) I thought I’d play with it today.

I used the brightest paper I had on hand – the holiday sheets from Celebrate Everything 12X12 DSP.

You can see exactly how I created this card by reading the printable card recipe below. All of the supplies I used to create today’s card are also listed below.
