July 2025 Paper Pumpkin!

 July's Paper Pumpkin was so much fun to put together.  Have you ever tried Paper Pumpkin kits?  They are a monthly subscription kit.  The kit this month was all about strawberries!  Are you interested in this subscription?  I have a monthly zoom meeting with the gals to put their kits together.  We meet the 4th Wednesday of each month. Click on this link  Paper Pumpkin subscription to start your subscription with me today! Then join me each month and have fun putting the kit together with others!  It is a fun community!

We had 4 card types this month.  You make two of each design, so you have 8 cards to send to friends and family.  Included with the kit is the stamp set, ink spot, instructions and all the materials needed to assemble these cards.  Your first kit includes an acrylic block too.  You can always purchase more blocks.  

Here are 2 of my alternatives for this month.  Come by tomorrow to see the rest!  K

This Z fold card was created by folding your card base on the scored line so that the white side of the card is the front.  Then take one side and fold it back to the scored line to create a Z fold.  Easy!  The strawberries are added to the scalloped vellum and then added to the front using dimensionals. When folded, the vellum will cover part of the inside of the card.  The rest is intuitive!  Enjoy this alternative.  

This gives you a better idea of how the inside of the card looks.  

The kit box is easy to decorate so you can use it for a present to a friend! You will need a paper trimmer for this alternative.  I took one of the green cards and cut it to 2 3/4" x 8 1/2" and folded it on the scored line.  This makes your card.  Decorate as shown in the sample and add to the top of the card with adhesive, glue or mini glue dots. You will use the extra green pieces on the cards below.  

Inside of the card!

I wanted to cover up the information on the sides of the box, so I used a piece of the green card scrap and cut it to 1 3/8" x 8 1/2" to add to the side of the box.  I cut a little strip off of one of the scalloped

envelopes to add to the sides of this green piece.  So cute!  

I used the rest of the envelope top cut to 1/2" x 5 1/4" to complete the sides.  See you tomorrow!
