A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop: Hugs From Shelli Kit

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share a few alternative projects using the May 2019 Paper Pumpkin kit Hugs from Shelli.  I am super excited to play with this kit which was designed with Shelli Gardner Stampin' Up!'s Co-Fonder.  This was a super fun kit to play with and I may have been a little over zealous with my alternatives this month.  So let's jump into them right now.

 So for my projects this month I created not one card but five different designs and did two of each design plus created a large gift box that would hold all ten card, envelopes and with a little room for more.  This was super fun today. I kept my cards on the simple side.  I used five pieces of cardstock to create each card plus the note cards that came in this month's kit.  I did throw in a couple scraps of whisper white cardstock to finish off my sentiments.  Here's a look at my cards.

,For two of the card designs I had to cut the note cards in half to have enough to make all 10 cards.  So once I had these all made I needed someplace to put them so I created a large gift box that will hold all 10 cards plus envelopes for each.  This makes for a super quick and easy gift.  Here's my gift box.

I used a couple pieces of cardstock to make the box and a little designer series paper.  The designer Series paper you see comes from the Bird Ballard Designer Series Paper Stack (new in the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog).  From this month's kit I used some of the die cut elements and the Pretty Peacock Velvet ribbon.  This box is super easy to make as you will see in my video tutorial.
