Talk about fun! I took some time to put together a card and a box from Paper Pumpkin Kit for July. Wow, this kit contained so much product.
Aren't they adorable. The box is perfect for candy, jewelery, or other small gifts.
My Kit Included:
- Wish Big Photopolymer Stamp set
- Blackberry Bliss Classic Stampin' Spot
- 6 White Card Bases
- 1 Sheet of Border Stickers
- 2 Sheets of Blue Stickers (letters & stars)
- 1 Sheet of Silver Foil Stars
- 12 Die-Cut Round Tags
- 6 Printed Boxes
- White 5/8" Satin Ribbon (6 yds)
- White Baker's twine (7 yds)
- 6 White Envelopes
After making 1 card & 1 box, check out what I have left in my kit.
I am anxious to put the other 5 cards & boxes together. But, I am going to change up the design by incorporating some Silver Foil paper & Blackberry Bliss Cardstock. And, I am going to use some of the other stamp sets.

The Holiday Catalog has a wonderful fall stamp set named For All Things. I used a sentiment and a cluster of leaves tied with a bow for my card today.
As you can see, the main color for my card is the new In Color Blackberry Bliss. It is a rich and elegant deep purple. Accenting colors include Soft Sky & Old Olive. Using the Color Coach takes all of the guess work out of finding a good color combination.
The Blackberry Bliss paper for my frame is from the Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack. Look closely at the sentiment piece, Do you see the cluster of leaves beneath the sentiment? After stamping off, I stamped the leave image on the piece of Soft Sky cardstock. It is topped with the sentiment from For All Things which is stamped in full strength Blackberry Bliss. The Soft Sky piece is mounted on a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock which is then popped up with a double layer of Stampin' Dimensionals.
A 2014 – 2016 In Color Clothespin adds some texture to the card. A sweet bow tied with Whisper White Baker's Twine brings the clothespin to life.
The inside of the card reflects the front of the card with another sentiment from the set For All Things stamped on the bunch of leaves. And a leftover strip of the striped dsp from the Moonlight dsp pack adds a fun touch to the base of the card.
This card begged for a lined envelope. So I used the Envelope Liner Framelits with some of the Moonlight Designer series paper. In addition, the bunch of leaves is also stamped in the corner of the envelope – sorry I forgot to take a photo.

Time for a sweet little card! This card is 4-1/4" x 4-1/4" and is for this sketch.
Freshly Made Sketches
And, here is my take on the sketch.
You may wonder where the strip of designer paper comes from. It is actually from the Back to Black pack and I colored it with a variety of belndabilities. I saw this technique on a blog post from Patty Bennett
And here is the same paper after I colored it with the blendabilities.
Cutting a piece of this created my backgound strip for my card.
The bird bath image from For the Birds was stamped on Whisper White cardstock with Memento Black Ink. It was also colored with a variety of Blendabilities and matted on a 3- 9/16" x 3-1/8" piece of Basic Black Cardstock. That in turn was matted on a 3-1/4" x3-1/4" piece of Coastal cabana Cardstock.
A few Bright Candy Dots add the finishing touch.
