It’s always hard to choose which side of the designer series paper to show. With the Twisted Ribbon design, both sides are enjoyed! This Kits in the Mail features one pumpkin and gourd print for an Autumn card and one gingham print for a spooky Halloween card.

Supplies include twice the amount of pattern paper needed and a full strip of Heart Pearls. Please note the sentiment, pumpkin ridges and bats are stamping and are not included in the kit. Order your kit early as I only have a limited supply of the ribbon slides and corner embellishment.

Contact me for kit availability. Halloween kits are sold out. Pumpkin and Floral kits are available as of October 29th.

I used the Hello Harvest stamp set withCajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie ink pads to complete the pumpkin kit. I used the Scary Cute stamp set and Memento black ink pad to complete the spooky Halloween kit.

An email with the Youtube video assembly link should arrive shortly after your purchase so you are ready to create as soon as you get the Kit in the Mail! Then make sure to check your email the week of September 7th for the Twisted Ribbon pdf idea file and tutorial which has cutting instructions and many other ways to decorate this design!

I’ll be sharing a sugar loaded treat today, my fancy decorated cupcakes! A friend was preparing for surgery so I delivered a box of cupcakes and a Paper Pumpkin kit to keep her busy while she is recovering. First, here are the cupcakes…

Bakery decorating is my latest hobby which I’ll share more about in future posts. I have struggled with container boxes while I deliver treats to taste testers because of their cost and storage space requirements. I finally realized I could make my own boxes. So here are the steps I used to do that.

From my ever growing stack of designer series paper backer sheets emerged a box bottom and a top. Place one backer sheet at a time on the Simply Scored Scoring Tool and score at 3 and 9 inches on 2 adjacent sides. Four cupcakes fit perfectly in the center of the score lines.

The cut along score lines to make box tabs.

Form the box and adhere the side tabs with some tape. I opted to have the shiny side facing in which is also the side with the product info.

Line the box with tissue from the Wonderful Snowflakes embellishment packages. Cover the product info with your choice of patterned paper to coordinate with the enclosed gift card instead of tissue.

Carefully insert cupcakes and slide a lid over the box. The lid is created in the same manner as the box bottom. So they are a snug fit.

Tie some ribbon, add a hand stamped greeting card and make your delivery!
