Up!STYLE Your Paper Pumpkin: Fun in the Sun

LONG POST ALERT!! Mostly pictures as they tell a thousand words.

These three projects were created for Stampin' Up! and their Paper Pumpkin Alternatives Video. Each project features the Fun in the Sun Kit for July.

Project 1 Kit Only - A Mini Messages Pocket. The only items used for this project came from the Kit.

I cut the top flap off an envelop, folded the bottom portion of the envelope in half, centered & wrapped the top flap around, and then decorated it with elements from the Kit.

Inside the envelope pocket are two "mini messages." My idea is that you could use one of the mini messages and save the second for a small treat. It also fits a gift card. So, you can mix or match and have some fun giving summer goodies.

Project 2 A Stepped Up Project - An 8 1/2" x 3 1/2" Slim-line Card. This card includes the Kit, Crumb Cake Cardstock, Basic White Cardstock, Tuxedo Black Ink, the Sailboat Builder Punch, Linen Thread, and Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack/Azure Afternoon.

I cut a 7" x 8 1/2" piece of Crumb Cake Cardstock and scored along the short edge at 3 1/2" to make the card base on which to arrange all the Kit pieces. I did add Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up the surfboards, crab, sunglasses, and sails.

The right inside half is covered with a  3 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of Basic White. I used a Blending Brush to add a "haze" of Daffodil Delight Ink. The greetings were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.

Project 3. Mini Album - 3D Project. This album includes: the Kit, Crumb Cake, Basic White, Lemon Lolly, & Azure Afternoon Cardstock, Azure Afternoon Ink, Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker, Delightfully Eclectic DSP, Adhesive Backed Sequins Trio, and Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack/Azure Afternoon.
