Hello Pumpkin - Paper Pumpkin September 2020

Sep 27

I have been anticipating the September 2020 Hello Pumpkin, Paper Pumpkin delivery, for what seems like forever! It is so so so cute, with so many pieces and so much potential for every day use! Some of the ideas I CASE’d (Copy And Share Everything), but some are my own variations.

The above smaller cracker boxes were exactly from the instructions, and come together in seconds. The best part is the boxes are double sided and can be used for Halloween or Thanksgiving! I am not a big Halloween person, but my neighborhood gets flooded with littles for Halloween (we will see what happens this year), and we go through multiple huge Costco sized bags of candy. Since it will most likely be on a smaller scale this year, I can hand deliver the cute goodie boxes to my neighbors letting them know we are thinking of them. The bigger box I CASE’d off another demo, and it is just two boxes put together for larger treats (cookies fit well).

3”x3” Sampler Square

This cute little sampler square was a mash-up with this month’s Paper Pumpkin - Hello Pumpkin, and a little of this & that I had around my art/craft area. I used the witches hat, pumpkin with Jack-O-Lantern face stamped on (included in set) from the PP, and then added flowers & leaves (retired). However, the PP has so many cute flowers & leaves as well, so I could have done it with just the PP flowers, but I am saving those for my boxes.

For the eyeball, I used a 1-7/8” circle punch in Whisper White, the iris is a 7/8” circle punch in Rainbow Glitter Paper, the pupil is a 5/8” in Basic Black cardstock. I then used the Sequins For Everything for the flower centers and the eye highlight. I used the largest square in the Stitched Shapes Dies for the Rich Razzleberry layer, Whisper White (2-3/4” square) and a 3” square in the Plaid Tidings DSP layer. Such a fun sampler!! I cannot wait until I get the other 8 from my upline!

There are so many pieces left over from the cracker boxes, I decided to make a couple of cards with some of the left-over pieces and am super happy I gave it a try. Just added a few embellishments and ta-da!
