September 2016 Paper Pumpkin Alternative Project

This month's kit is awesome! Even if you are only a card maker and not a 3D project maker, this kit is still amazing. There are stamps and embellishments for Halloween and Fall. Here is one of the alternative projects that I created.

Craft with Beth: September 2016 Something Good to Eat Paper Pumpkin Alternative Project Halloween Card Spooky Fun

As soon as I saw the striped banner stickers, I saw witchy stockings. I love witch shoes and boots and striped stockings! Check out those shoes! Can you guess what they are made from?!? That's right - the Fox Builder Punch tail! This punch is incredible! Thank you to Melissa Leskovar who taught me how to make the tail into a shoe.

I used the Simply Scoredboard to make the pleats of the witch's skirt. I cut four 12" by 1/2" strips of Halloween Night DSP. Each strip is scored first at 1/4" then at 1/2" more. So, start at 1/4", add 1/2" and score. Then add 1/4" and score. Then add 1/2" and score. That is, score at 1/4", 3/4", 1-1/4", 1-3/4", 2-1/4", and so on until I reached the end of the strip. However, you can create any pleat that is pleasing to you.

The inside is stamped with the Something Good to Eat stamp set greeting and the bats from Spooky Fun (another of my favorite Halloween stamp sets). I added two banner stickers to the bottom.

What alternative projects have you made with your September 2016 Something Good to Eat Paper Pumpkin Kit? I would love to see what you make!

Don't forget! World Card Making Day is Saturday, October 1st! Let's celebrate together. I'm holding a FREE Make and Take from 10am to 12pm. Stop on by to make a cute Christmas card and check out some of the Holiday Catalog products in person. I look forward to seeing you!

How cute are these test tubes!?! These are the perfect size for a little treat! This kit is packed with labels and banner stickers! The printed labels with the cats and the cauldron are my favorite! The stamp set would be great for a one-sheet wonder card set!
