Paper Pumpkin mini Treat boxes

I recently co hosted a fun Paper Pumpkin 

night with fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrators 

and I made these cute Mini Paper Pumpkin Treat boxes 

to say thank you to those who attended

I loved making these and couldn't wait 

to share with you how I made them as I know 

you will love to make them too :)

Here is the video sharing how to make them

What I used: 

Poppy Parade Cardstock 

Poppy Parade Ink pad

Paper Trimmer 

Bone Folder 

Scissors

Seal+ Tape Runner

Polka Dot Stamp from the 

Retired Sweet Home Stamp set

current alternative - Pop Up Petals

here is a better picture to see the cuts 

and tabs for adhesive

Cardstock size is 14cm x 17.5cm

Follow video tutorial for how and where to score 

and how to put the little treat box together.

I even re used some of the Baby Blue 

Tissue paper inside the treat box so it really 

does look like a diddy Paper Pumpkin

Be Inspired Blog Hop - Brights

    

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance

Welcome to the Be Inspired Blog Hop, 

We our a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators 

from all over the world sharing ideas 

and inspiration with Stampin' Up! Products.

You're currently with me Laura Mackie

a demonstrator from the United Kingdom.

Today's hop theme is 

'BRIGHTS'

Stampin' Up! has 4 colour families

Brights

Regals 

Subtles 

Neutrals

and here is what I came 

up with using some of the Brights colours...

I had fun playing with my 
Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance stamp set and dies, 

with new catalogues we sometimes 

forget about the stamp sets

on our shelves and those ones we use to love...

Butterfly Brilliance was and still is a real favourite

of mine I LOVE BUTTERFLIES

I paired the butterflies with 

some new goodies

the Best Family Ever stamp set and 

the Alphabet A La Mode Dies

and not forgetting some of the Brights.

I've used the following Brights

Melon Mambo, Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight, 

Granny Apple Green and Coastal Cabana

to create the backgrounds and to add the colour

I've used the Stampin' Up! Blending Brushes

Don't the colours look fab together??

Which card is your favourite???

as you can see I got totally carried away

I only needed to make one project! but I could'nt 

stop, I got really carried away

Thank you for coming by today, I do 

hope my cards inspire you today
