Ok, I am SO FREAKING EXCITED about today's hop!!! I have been waiting for this Paper Pumpkin Kit since they first came out. Seriously. I NEEDED this kit like no body's business! In this house of 4 boys, plus me - it's eat, sleep, play baseball!!! In fact, we just got back from a 3 day, out of town baseball tournament. For those that are curious, we battled hard, and ended in 3rd place.
Now, back to the Paper Pumpkin Kit. I had to narrow down what I wanted to make. I can not wait to use this stamp set, over and over. The other kit components are pretty cool, but I know I will get a lot of use for this stamp set.
First thing I wanted to make was a fun little treat box that I could fill with classic "baseball snacks" for the boys.
The first thing I did was to stamp a row of bats along the Smoky Slate box base. It reminded me of all the bats lined up along the fences in the dugouts. My favorite part is probably the label though. I love how it turned out. I stamped the sentiment once in Basic Gray on the label from the Tasteful Label Dies, then once again on a scrap of Basic White in Pacific Point ink and cut out the center portion of the sentiment and popped it up on Dimensionals. How about that hat? I stamped it in Night of Navy Classic Ink, then finished coloring it in with the Light Night of Navy Blends Marker. Those darling little stars are from the new Shaker Shapes! They are so fun.
I kept it pretty simple for the card, but I loved integrating the stamp set with the Stitched Stars Dies, and a fun color combo! I added varying sized strips of Smoky Slate and Basic White on the top Smoky Slate layer, it gives the card some great dimension. I created the look of a custom paper by stamping the hat image in Versamark Ink on the card base. In addition to the Crushed Curry Stitched Stars (that I stamped with the Dad sentiment in Crushed Curry Ink), I added some of the smaller stars in Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana and Pacific Point Cardstock. It's a simple, yet detailed card...if that makes any sense - LOL!
