APPT January Blog Hop

Hello, my stamping friend. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I have two projects to share with you from the January Paper Pumpkin kit. I created a box and a card, both inspired by the gorgeous envelopes in this month’s kit. The whole kit has so many possibilities, but the envelopes truly stole my heart, so I decided to build my projects around them. 

I cut one envelope into three pieces. The front of the envelope, along with the printed label, became the focal point for my box. The back panel of the envelope was used on my card, and the decorative flap was adhered to a Basic White envelope to dress it up. I love how much beauty you can get out of just one envelope.

The card design is very simple, and I especially love the blue flowers included in the kit. I ended up not using the flower on my original card from a kit, but it’s such a pretty element. The label on the card is cut from the add‑on dies and mounted onto Basic Beige cardstock with a small strip of Blueberry Bushel for contrast.  

For the box, I used a full piece of Blueberry Bushel cardstock. I scored it at 1 1/4" on both short sides and at 4 3/4" on both long sides. The finished box fits all the cards perfectly, and it’s incredibly simple to make. It would also be wonderful as gift packaging. 

Thank you again for visiting today.
