Ho Ho Ho Blog Hop

Good evening my crafty friends! It's time for the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop! YAYAYAYA!!! Y'all know I just LOVE Paper Pumpkin and I especially love coming up with creative alternative projects using the kits too! That's why this blog hop is one of my absolute FAVS!! Be sure to hop all the way around to get lots of awesome alternative ideas! 

The "HO HO HO" Paper Pumpkin Kit features NINE of the most GORGEOUS cards I've ever seen come from a Paper Pumpkin kit!  Boy! oh Boy!! The Paper Pumpkin folks really hit this one waaaaaay outta the ballpark! It's absolutely gorgeous!  

Plus, look at all the spectacular goodies that's included in this kit! Lots and lots of cool things to play with! This one's gonna be really fun to make alternatives with!

I chose to make a little gift box as one of my alternative projects. When making alternatives, it's important for me to create something totally different AND to also create things that ONLY use contents of the kit. I want you to be able to replicate this project using only what you have. 

So, this little box only uses things that were included in your kit.  I took one card base and cut it in half  on the score line. Then, I scored all four sides at 11/16" (which is the mark just before 3/4".  You could also go ahead and score all the sides at 3/4" to make things easier if you like. :-)  When you burnish the lines, burnish the Cherry Cobbler side tight and the striped side a little loose. You want the lid to be just microscopically bigger than the base, so that your base doesn't buckle. 

You can see here that I colored the Santa to look very similar to the die cut piece. There are only a few of those little guys and once they're gone, you may want to make more. You can! I used Cherry Cobbler, Light Crumb Cake and Light Flirty Flamingo to color him in. 

You can see the elements I borrowed from the kit. However, you could decorate the box however you like if you've already used all your pieces for the gorgeous cards! 

I did add just a little piece of White Baker's Twine to finish my box.  You certainly don't have to, but most likely you've got a bit of baker's twine on hand. :-) If you've been doing Paper Pumpkin for a while, you surely do! If not, just substitute with any string or ribbon that you have on hand. 

I can't wait to see what next month has in store for us! It's going to be a coordinating kit! YAYAYA!!! 

There are some super cute little gift bags that you can add on too, if you like! Be sure to check them out!
