The April Paper Pumpkin Kit has beautiful flowers and some Distinktive super detailed stamps. The ink that came with the Kit is Gray Granite. I just needed something not gray so I used Flirty Flamingo ink and Mint Macaron ink instead.
SUPPLIES:
The only additional supplies I used on these cards were Flirty Flamingo Ink, Mint Macaron ink, Glue Dots, and Tombow Glue.
CARD 1-GRAY CARD WITH PRINTED FLOWERS
*1. Stamp Leaves next to the flowers using Mint Macarom ink. Stamp the words in Gray Granite on the outlined tag.
*2. Attach the Flowers to the corrugated square with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Wrap the Baker’s Twine around it and tie a bow. Attach these layered squares to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
3. Attach your stamped Thank You to your card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Attach 3 enamel dots to the card as desired.
CARD 2-WORD CARD BASE AND STAMPED FLOWERS
*1. Find the longer of the two card fronts. Stamp one Flower and two sets of leaves. I used Flirty Flamingo ink for the flower and Mint Macaron ink for the flowers. Stamp the words in the tag in Mint Macaron.
*2. Wrap some Baker’s Twine around the card front as shown and tie into a bow. I put a Glue Dot under the bow to hold it in place.
3. Attach the card front to the card base with Tombow Glue.
4. Put Glue on the back of the short corrugated banner and slide it under the Baker’s Twine and over to the fold of the card base. Press down.
5. Attach your tag over the corrugated banner with Stampin’ Dimentionslas. Add three enamels dots as desired.
CARD 3-YELLOW CARD BASE WITH STAMPED FLOWER
*1. Find the smaller card front. Stamp your Flower in Flirty Flamingo ink and two sets of leaves in Mint Macaron ink. Glue to the upper right corner of your Yellow card base.
2. Attach the corrugated strip to the lower part of your card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp your tag with Mint Macaron ink. Attach to corrugated strip with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Attach three enamel dots where desired.
CARD BOX
*1. Remove the plastic protective sheet. Bend all score lines. Fold in both top and bottom tabs to assemble box.
2. Wrap the corrugated belly band around your box. Remove adhesive backing and attach to belly band.
3. Stamp For You in Mint Macaron ink. Wrap your Baker’s Twine around your belly band. Tie in a knot. Thread your Baker’s Twine through the Tag hold. Tie a Bow.
4. Punch out the Flower. Attach to belly band with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Punch out leaves. Put Glue Dots on the back of each leaf. Slide just under the Flower and press down on Glue Dots. Repeat with other leaves.
5. Put each card with an envelope and slide all of them inside your decorated card box. Your Paper Pumpkin is finished. Use any left over parts on additional projects.
