A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop - Gifts Galore

November 25, 2021

Hello and welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Thing monthly blog hop. This hop is all about creating and sharing alternate projects for the current Paper Pumpkin kit. This month’s Paper Pumpkin kit is called ‘Gifts Galore’.

This kit is all about gift packaging and includes 12 cute custom boxes for holiday gifting. I created 9 of these boxes and set aside a few of the supplies to create a few matching cards.

You can watch the YouTUbe video below to see how this kit is intended to be used.

The suggested projects for this kit are super cute 3d treat packages. Those little treats boxes are adorable. I will fill them with homemade caramels and hand out to friends and neighbors. With my leftover supplies created a card using a snowman and few of the images from the stamp set.

This card used the little star snowflake image to create a wintery background. These have been stamped in VersaMark and heat set with white emboss powder. The Happy Holidays sentiment is also embossed.
