Even More Paper Pumpkin July 2016 What a Gem Alternative Projects

Here are a few more alternative projects that my mom and I came up with during our Paper Pumpkin Club. My mom created a sparkling birthday card using the diamond stamp image and one of the larger tags. I really love the layout and colors on this card! The layout is truly dynamic. I like the angle of the Basic Black cardstock strip across the middle and the scatter of diamonds.

The inside of the stamp has the birthday sentiment and more diamonds. My mom thinks she is still a starting stamper, but I think she is advancing and doing a terrific job creating her own cards!! Go Mom!!

I couldn't resist making a small banner! I cut five triangles from the smaller box to make this party banner. I used the solid triangles and punched my own 1/8" holes.

Here is a close up of one of the pennants. I used the Back to Basics Alphabet, however you could substitute Labeler Alphabet.

The last project I made was a planner clip with a tassel. I was trying to think of a way to use up the last bits of the thick baker's twine. I wasn't completely happy with the pre-made planner bookmarks, so I made my own.

I wrapped thick baker's twine around one end of a jumbo paper clip and tied the top with the pre-cut piece of twine. I can see making more of these planner clips with regular baker's twine and even washi tape. I purchased the jumbo paper clips at my local office supply store.

I am all about my planner! But, you could also use these tassel clips for saving pages in magazines, books, and catalogs.

Fresh Fruit Card Set Gusseted Envelope

This is a great gusseted envelope to keep all of your Fresh Fruit cards we made this week! The Envelope Punch Board makes this card holder a snap!

Craft with Beth: Fresh Fruit Gusseted Envelope Fruit Stand DSP Stampin' Up!

This envelope has a gusset, so it has more dimension to hold all of your cards and envelopes. The finished dimensions are 6" by 4-1/2" by 1-1/4". To add the height, there will be two punches on each side of the envelope. Start by cutting a 9-3/8" by 9-3/8" piece of Crumb Cake cardstock.

Using your Envelope Punch Board, line your cardstock up to the 3-1/2" line, punch, and score. Line your cardstock up to the 4-7/8" line, punch, and score. Once the initial punches are made, you don't need to measure again. Use the score lines you just made as the guides for each subsequent punch.

Rotate your piece 90 degrees. Line it up to the 1st previous score line, punch, and score. Line it up to the 2nd previous score line, punch, and score.

Rotate your piece 90 degrees. Line it up to the 1st previous score line, punch, and score. Line it up to the 2nd previous score line, punch, and score.

Rotate your piece 90 degrees. Line it up to the 1st previous score line, punch, and score. Line it up to the 2nd previous score line, punch, and score.
Burnish all of your score lines.

Place strong adhesive such as Tear and Tape or Fast Fuse along two bottom edges of the left and right flaps. Fold up the bottom flap, securing the bottom flap to the two side flaps.

Add some hook and loop tape to the back of the top flap as a closure.

The front panel was made by layering Flirty Flamingo cardstock and Fruit Stand DSP. I used the largest scallop oval and the second largest oval to make the center embellishment.

Adhere the front panel to the front of the envelope and you have a fantastic gift!
