Hi! I’m Vy with Crafting Daily Dose. Welcome to this month’s A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop, featuring alternatives for the December 2022 From the North Pole kit.
This kit included supplies for 16 gift card boxes—2 each of 8 different reversible designs. Kits always come with an exclusive stamp set, a mini ink cube, embellishments, and adhesives.
As of today, refills are available to subscribers.
For this card, I used the kit components to create the look of a bakery box on the front. I just loved the cupcake die cut, and the heart stamp reminded me of cookies! The cardbase was an add-on, which is no longer available, but you can use Balmy Blue cardstock instead and add a Basic White message panel for the inside.
Measurements:
- Kit Bellyband
3" (W) x 4-1/2" (H), trimmed so that existing scored lines are at 2-1/4" and 2-3/4" along the long side
3" (W) x 1-3/4" (H)
-Basic White Cardstock
scraps to fit sentiments
-Tissue Paper
6" (W) x 1-3/4" (H), scored at 1-1/2" and 4-1/2" along the long side
If you don't have the add-on cardbase, you can instead use
- Balmy Blue Cardstock
5-1/2" (W) x 8-1/2" (H), scored at 4-1/4" along the long side
-Basic White Cardstock
5-1/4" (W) x 4" (H)
The inks used were Balmy Blue, Blushing Bride, and Calypso Coral. To create the plain hearts, I used the back (smooth) side of the stamp. The sentiments were stamped with Memento Basic Black ink and cut out. The sentiment for the outside fussy-cut and elevated with dimensionals and placed so that it could act as a latch to help keep the "bakery box" closed.
For a finishing touch, I added a bow made with twine from the kit, along with some Heart Pearls.
