A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop Winter Gifts

Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop! I am so excited about this kit- it's gorgeous! I cannot wait to make gorgeous tags for all of Marianne's teacher gifts-- there are like 15 in total, including her dyslexia reading specialist, main teachers, librarian, principal, past teachers, special area teachers, etc... It's quite the list and I think they will love these! 

But... I have some fun alternate projects too! I really love it when we are given tags sets because then my imagination runs wild. (Did you know that if you subscribe NOW to Paper Pumpkin, you can get a refill or full kit of Winter Gifts? Only subscribers can get past kits though.)

So... up first is my alternate card! I used a Pool Party base and most of the tree tag- including tearing the base rectangle in half to make the snow drifts at the bottom. I also used a liberal dose of the Snow Puff Paint we have now-- it's so fun to use and watch grow snow!!

Here's another angle that shows the snow...

And my 3-D project is a cute container that I have been keeping for just this purpose... I wrapped the base in Perfectly Plaid DSP and then added the Shaded Spruce Stitched Circle piece to the top... 

So, what do we think? Not bad huh? It's an amazing kit. I am so sorry that it has been months since I blogged-- this fall was crazy busy. I have been keeping my Instagram and Facebook up to date-- so if you aren't following me there, please consider it!

Also, have you seen the December kit? It has all-occasion stamp set and will make 12 full sized cards! I am so excited that I am hosting an in-person and a Zoom crafting session for all my subscribers! Subscribe now!! Don't miss out!

Happy crafting,
​Melissa
