Hello! Welcome back. I am so glad that you could join us on this month's A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop, where our fabulous team of Stampin' Up! bloggers bring you lots of alternative inspiration ideas with your Paper Pumpkin Kit. This month we are featuring a super fun kit, Haunts & Harvest.
It's a fun kit, meant to create some adorable little gift boxes.
Honestly, they are adorable, and I want to make them all up and hand them out, so I chose to do my alternates for you today with just the stamp set and a few other supplies. Hopefully you have them on hand too so you can recreate them, if not just find some other colors that might work well together and use what you do have!
Have you ever heard of the "faux silk" stamping technique? If so, it might have been a while since you have seen it used, I know I often forget about it, despite loving the look. If not, well then please allow me to introduce you to it!
It really isn't so much a stamping technique, just the medium you stamp on and how you finish it. All you have to do to create the faux silk look is stamp on a piece of tissue paper (make sure you have some protective scrap or grid paper underneath to take care of any ink bleeding through). Once you have it stamped the way that you like, let it dry a lit, then carefully wad it up into a little ball - LOL. Seriously, I want you to crumple it up, and carefully smooth it back out. To adhere it to your card, cover your cardstock that you will be putting it on with a glue stick, then wrap the excess tissue around the back and adhere on the back! I love the soft texture and extra interest it provides.
I used another piece of the stamped tissue to create this great little treat box!
It would make a great little Thank You gift set, don't you think? The little box is just a half sheet of cardstock (8.5" x 5.5") scored at every 2" along the long side, then turn it once and score at 2" along that side. Cut the flaps at the bottom, and it's just easy box assembly from there.
If you are reading this today (Sept. 30, 2021) Today is the last day that you can earn extra Sale-A-Bration benefits by pre-purchasing a 3,6, or 12 month subscription. If it's after, you can still choose from a single month, month to month, or prepaid subscriptions, and it's an amazing value of course, just no extra goodies.
To make things easy on you, I have included a fully linked shopping list for you below.
