Hello Stampers and Papercrafters! Here we are...another month has passed; and, it's time for the June Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop!! YEAH!! A number of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from all over the world have joined together to share alternative projects using supplies from the monthly kit. This month's hop features the fun and puny "One In A Melon" kit. Perfect for Summer picnics, family reunions, or an after dinner dessert. Lots of sweetness, for sure! I'm super excited to share my altered kit project with you...let's get to it, shall we.
I haven't made little 3x3 cards in quite a while, so it was really fun working with a smaller canvas versus the traditional A2 size card (4-1/4" x 5-1/2"). It was the perfect size to fit the Sweet Melon and a little sentiment. I love it when the instructions that come with each Paper Pumpkin kit include the list of coordinating Stampin' Up! colors. It takes all the guess work out of my crafting.
Since the melon rind was inked and stamped in Emerald Envy, I decided the card base would be the best to compliment the focal image. One of the 'fruity' notecards became my designer paper to compliment the neighboring Crushed Curry cardstock that was dry embossed with the Softly Falling Textured Embossing Folder. Another perk to the Paper Pumpkin kits is that they come with all of the embellishments, ink spots, dimensionals and glue dots. Made to be super easy and stress free!
While I was at it, I created a 2nd version of the 3x3 card. Just as cute, right?!! The Melon Mambo Baker's Twine really ties it all together. These are going to be super cute with the little gifts some of my customers earned with their recent online orders. I can't wait to hear their excitement. Yep! I can hear their **squeal** excitement from any distance! haha
