On My Mind Paper Pumpkin: Ideas for Woven Threads
August 06, 2019
Today, I have a guest stamper for you...my grandson, Max!
It's August and summertime is in full swing here in MN...hot & humid. That's when we head to cabin for some 4-day weekends to relax and take a break from the heat. And there is something I always bring with me...Paper Pumpkin!
For me, Paper Pumpkin is even better when I craft with my grandsons. Max is still interested in crafting, so he joined me! Now that he's 12 and quite familiar with Paper Pumpkin, I just hand him the box and away he goes.
I really enjoy watching him create. Even more fun, is when we banter back and forth on ideas.
- ME: I was thinking of using this panel as is, and not punching out the pieces. What do you think?
- MAX: That's a good idea Umma. What if I do that, but instead punch out the pieces, then put them back in and pop them up?
- ME: That's a great idea Max, go for it!
It turned out great, don't you think?
Now it's my turn. Here's my last two alternate ideas for the On My Mind Paper Pumpkin kit to share with you.
How'd She DO That? You've Been On My Mind card
- Trim out a 4" x 5-1/4" piece from the printed envelope, and adhere to 4-1/4" x 11" Sahara Sand folded card base.
- Cut pieces from kit into shorter "banner" pieces and adhere behind stamped label sentiment.
- Slip on paper clip & twine to label. Then adhere with dimensionals.
- Attach adhesive sequin.
How'd She DO That? You're the Best Fun Fold card
- Cut 5-1/2" x 7-1/2" piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock. Score and fold at 3-1/4".
- Stamp medallion image on smaller front piece.
- Adhere 4" x 5-1/4" Whisper White panel to inside of card.
- Score and fold printed panel (from kit) at 3". Adhere smaller section to back of card, and fold larger section over the front of the card.
- Stamp greeting banner and adhere.
- Adhere 1-1/4" square of Calypso Coral cardstock behind banner and front fold (see photo below)
- Wrap twine around smaller folded panel and tie in a knot.
- Attach adhesive sequins to center of stamped medallions.
