Up!STYLE Your Paper Pumpkin

This first project uses only elements from the Exploring In Color Paper Pumpkin Kit. From the front it seems to be a rather simple alternative. This card is made with two full cards to create a fancy bi-fold.

When the Linen Thread bow is untied and the card is opened you start to see the fun of this alternative project. The inside is splattered with the Copper Clay Ink Spot and a Water Painter, the greetings are combined to make a focal feature, and an envelope was cut apart and adhered to the bottom for added color and decor.

Here the card is fully opened.  Before I attached the cards together I cut along the mountain line of the left half of the card and stopped at the scoreline. Next, I adhered the two cards together and form a pocket for a gift card or treat

For a 3D project I made card package to hold five cards. I mixed both cards from the Kit with the Exploring In Color Add On Cards and Envelopes. The package that holds the cards is made with the 2023-2025 In Color Treat Bags, the Zany Crew DSP, the 2023-2025 In Color Jute Twine, and the 2023-2025 In Color Stampin' Blends.

Each of the five Treat Bags holds one card and envelope. All the bags are attached with a folded piece of Pebbled Path Cardstock and then secured with a belly band.

In this photo you can see the Treat Bags are in the fully opened position.
