Paper Pumpkin August 2016 Bold Botanicals Alternative Project #2

The second alternative project I created with a gift card holder using the emboss resist technique.

First I die cut the gift card holder from Bermuda Bay cardstock. Then I cut a 2-5/8" x 3-7/8" piece of Shimmery White cardstock.

In the center of the Shimmery White cardstock, I stamped the For You image with Versamark ink. Then I heat embossed one sentiment with clear embossing powder and the other sentiment with copper embossing powder.

For this resist emboss, I used the ink refills and an aquapainter. On Clear Block E, I dropped two drops each of Bermuda Bay, Mint Macaron, and Cajun Craze. Once the paper was cool, I swished the lightest color Mint Macaron ink across the center of the sentiment. Then I swished the Bermuda Bay on top and then Cajun Craze on the bottom of the sentiment. Once all of the ink was dry, I rubbed a folded paper towel over the embossed sentiment to clean off any stray ink.

The closure is made with a 3/4" circle of Cajun Craze cardstock propped up with a dimensional.

Paper Pumpkin August 2016 Bold Botanicals Alternative Project #1

My first alternative project using the August 2016 Paper Pumpkin Kit Bold Botanicals is a favor box. The baker's box is embossed with the new Festive Texturized Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF). I first die cut the baker's box. Then I embossed each piece with the TIEF oriented horizontally so the cardstock would not crack near the score lines from the die.

On the front I added the thanks image in Early Espresso ink to the center of the pre-printed circle. Above the sentiment is a cute wooden flower.

Behind is a length of burlap ribbon folded in half. I love the new burlap ribbon! I can see myself using heaps and heaps of burlap ribbon!

I am really thrilled with this month's Paper Pumpkin Kit! I really enjoy seeing each month's color combinations. Sometimes I find myself using the same colors over and over. With Paper Pumpkin, the color palette is always a surprise. Each month, expands my color theory knowledge and helps me to try unexpected color combinations.

I have some more fantastic alternative projects to share with you tomorrow!

Have a Dino-riffic Day!

In honor of my nephew starting school next week, I made him a little back to school present - a new set of crayons and a few pencils with characters.

To make the crayon wrapper, I measured the width, height, and depth of the crayon box. I cut a 9" by 3" piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock. Then I made my own Designer Series Paper by stamping the cardstock with the stegosaurus image from the No Bones About It stamp set.

Then I wrapped the cardstock around the crayon box to get an idea of where the score lines should go and scored the cardstock with the Stampin' Trimmer. Measure and score your crayon box to fit.

To make the pencil case, I lined up the pencils and measured the total width and length. Then I cut a 7-5/8" x 7-5/8" piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock. I stamped all of the dinosaurs, some leaves, and the footprints to create more Designer Series Paper. I used the Envelope Punch Board to create the envelope shape. The first cut is at 1-3/4". With each turn, I lined up the previous score line to make the next score line.

The sides of the envelope were too long to fold over, so I cut each side down to 1-3/4" (that was the total width of the pencils).  I used Tear and Tape to close the bottom and side flaps. I used removable adhesive tape to close the top.

The tags were made with the Tags and Labels Framelits, the Botanical Builder Thinlits, and the Triple Banner Punch. This is a cute little gift to help start your school year off!
