A quick Paper Pumpkin January 2017 alternate before I dash off to work. Yes, on a Sunday. Thankfully a rare occurrence but the project that I’ve been pulled into recently is rather demanding! So demanding, that it wasn’t until yesterday that I was able to get to the post office and mail out my thank you packages to the people who came shopping with me last month. Apologies for the week’s delay if you are one of them, but they are on the way now and are expected to be delivered by Tuesday at the latest.

Here I decided to take the elements of the kit and rather than make a bag, change it to a card. The only thing I’ve added is a scrap of calypso coral card stock. First I cut one of the bag fronts down and added a border just 1/8 inch of calypso coral to frame it. The banner and striped vellum are from the kit and attached together with glue dots. The ones in the kit are really flat and, amazingly, don’t show through the vellum. Before I’d learned that, I had designed this so that the heart would cover the glue dots – now I can remove the “how do I hide the glue dot” concern from my designs whilst using kit glue dots. Finally I stamped the heart with the outline and sentiment and added it with dimensionals.

By the way – there’s one glue dot under the vellum that’s not hidden by something else. I’m so thrilled that it’s invisible! At least, I think it is  – let me know if you can see it!

I hope you enjoyed today’s project.
