August Paper Pumpkin Kit: Hope Box Alternative Idea
September 09, 2021
Today I'm sharing an alternative idea using the Hope Box, August 2021 Paper Pumpkin kit.
The Hope Box kit included additional supplies to decorate the box. But I decided to use some of those supplies to make two cards instead, specifically the large butterfly. I cut it in half on the diagonal.
For this card, I cut a 4-1/4" x 5-3/8" portion from a card base from the kit. It already had the "splatter" printed on it.
For the other half of the butterfly, I used Pretty in Pink cardstock (4-1/8" x 5-3/8") and stamped the splatter with the same color ink. Both cards are mounted on 4-1/4" x 11" Basic White Thick card base.
DOstamping Tips:
- The colorful ribbon that came with the kit, was a little wide. So I trimmed it down the middle for a narrower piece of ribbon.
- Pull off the loose pieces and tie in a bow.
These are the 9 beautiful cards the kit makes, along with the decorated box. The Hope Box Refill kit is available to Paper Pumpkin subscribers.
