Paper Pumpkin is Stampin' Up's monthly subscription box. June’s "Pick of the Crop" kit included components for 9 cards—3 each of 3 different designs—along with matching envelopes. Kits always include an exclusive stamp set, a mini ink cube, embellishments, and adhesives.
The intended projects are always fun, but I love to find different ways to use the kits and show their versatility. For this alternative, I added some cardstock to create a pop-up picnic basket.
Here's the tutorial if you'd like to make one:
Measurements:
-Kit cardbase
Trim off 1" from the solid section, along the long side. From that small piece, cut at 2-3/4" along the long side to create two pieces that are 1" (W) x 2-3/4" (H). Use one piece to stamp the blueberries in Starry Sky ink. Cut the other piece at 1/2" along the short side to create two additional pieces that are 1/2" (W) x 2-3/4" (H); score both of them at 1/2" from each end, along the long side (see video)
Score at 1" from the edge of the printed section, along the long side. Trim off a very small sliver (see video)
At 5”, cut from <3-3/4" to >4-1/4"
At 4-1/2", cut from <4-1/4" to >4-3/4"
