August 2021 Paper Pumpkin: 8 Hope Box Alternative Projects + VIDEO

I was so excited to see the August 2021 Paper Pumpkin Kit arrive in my mailbox! Not only are the colors rich and gorgeous, but there are SO many die cut pieces in this kit to use in different ways!

Even though Paper Pumpkin projects are professionally designed and ready to complete, I always love the challenge of using the kit pieces in different ways to create alternative projects. When creating my alternative projects, I try not to add much -- mostly just additional cardstock for card bases. Here's what I came up with the using the August 2021Hope Box Paper Pumpkin Kit:

An easy way to extend your kit pieces is to cut them in half! I created two cards by cutting the layer cut card front and Bermuda Bay panel in half!

I used the Blackberry Bliss ink spot to color the back side of this laser cut butterfly for more contrast against the banner die cuts.

The envelopes in the Hope Box Kit are gorgeous! Of course, I had to cut them up and use them as designer paper pieces.

To create the Pillow Boxes, I adhered the envelope paper to the card base and then die cut with the Pretty Box Dies from the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog. I glued down the flap to allow the box to be opened on the ends without the need for additional adhesive.
