Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop - Hope Box

 Good Morning, Stampers!

The August Paper Pumpkin Hope Box kit 

is loaded with everything you will need 

to create meaningful and uplifting cards

along with a keepsake hope box to keep 

your special momentos together for safe keeping.

Created by our co-Founder Shelli, this truly is a 

one-of-a-kind treasure box.

I took (2) of the cards and cut them in half

 to create little pockets to hold tags.

These can be used alone to hold a gift card or cash

or added to a gift bag or present to celebrate

a special occasion.

I started by folding the cards in half.

Then, I cut them both at 3". This left me

with one 3" piece and one 2 1/2" piece.

With the fold along the bottom on the 2 1/2" piece, I cut the

top of the card on a diagonal and adhered it closed on

each side with a thin strip of adhesive to form the pocket.

I cut the tag using the Taylor Made dies cut from the

envelope included in the kit.

For the 3" piece, I cut off 1/2" off the top of the card front 

and then punched a 1" half circle at the top.

I then adhered the two sides to form a pocket and used 

the card layer for the insert.

This is the 2 1/2" piece from the second card. I made this into a 

double pocket by first cutting 1 1/2" off the top 

on a bit of a diagonal and added a 1" strip of cardstock along

the bottom to form a second pocket. 

Lastly, is the 3" card. I Cut off 1 1/4" off the top and

adhered the sides to create the pocket. 

I trimmed the panel for the inside tag.

My tag projects used just a few of the kit contents

leaving lots of extras to create even more!

Happie Stampin'!
