Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Hope Box


Welcome to the monthly Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop. Each month our team explores the crafting kit from Paper Pumpkin to determine all the possibilities for alternate designs.  Here is the kit unboxing video to show the intended designs:


This is one of the card designs as instructed by the box instructions.


This is how the die cut arrives and you need to punch it out to use it.


I love all the color on the negative sheet so I had to use it!  I trimmed it down to fit the card base.  I also added some of the ribbon from the suggested box decor.


And placed it on the card base in place of the intended colorful die cut.  This kit included 3 languages for the printed sentiment labels. I used the German and French sentiment labels to create a framed shadow effect.


Here is the next card assembled as instructed.  I love the bright, tie-die look on the banner strips.


One my first alternate design I cut each banner in half and then created a pinwheel pattern behind the sentiment.  I also added some of the ribbon from the suggested box decor.


The negative sheet from all of those banner pieces caught my eye again: don't toss the negative pieces! By cutting the banners pieces in half lengthwise I created frame pieces for the tops and sides but I let the bottom white space show.  I suppose I could have fussy cut that side, what do you think?



As you can tell I was immensely inspired by this kit and the many beautiful elements that were included for the 9 cards in Paper Pumpkin's August Hope Box.
