Hi Stampers. Welcome to this months Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop. This month we are featuring the Hope Box, designed by our co-founder, Shelly Gardner. This kit makes some beautiful cards, but our purpose is to show you alternative ideas to do with this kit. Follow along and be inspired.
Above is a photo of what we were given in our kit.
I used our Mercury Glass Accetate as my card base, 4″ x 8″, scored at 4″.
I then used two of the pieces, from the Hope Box Paper Pumpkin kit, with the gradient colors on it and cut them square. They were 3-1/8″ wide, so I made them 3-1/8″ tall, too.
Using the Blackberry Bliss ink and the largest stamp, I stamped the sentiment onto the front of my card. Next I added a few of the butterflies with glue dots and added the sequins on top of them.
Inside the card is the other gradient layer followed by a stitched square of Basic White CS. I created this square using the Stitched Rectangle dies by cutting the rectangle first. Then positioning the die where it would make it a square and running it though the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine a second time.
Case Insert:
Did you know that you can keep your Paper Pumpkin stamp sets in the same style stamp cases that our regular stamps come in? We sell those empty and provide you with the case insert, just for that reason! Keep yourself organized. 🙂

Love your alternate, thank you for hopping tonight!
That is a very cool card! I have not gotten any of that acetate because I wasn’t sure how to use it! Thank you for the inspiration!
If you do. Don’t forget to take off the protective coating on the one side.
That card looks so cool! Haven’t gotten that acetate because I didn’t know what to do with it! Now I do…thank you!

Love this card! It’s fun to make different size cards. Just ordered some acetate after you have shown some ways to use it. I had overlooked this fun to use paper.Thanks for the tip about removing the protective cover.
Absolutely stunning! Love the acetate card base and everything about it!
