Paper Pumpkin Alternative Project – Boxes, Bags & Tags

Spread the love!

The May 2022 PP features the new IN COLORS from the May 2022-April 2023 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. I LOVE the new colors and it gave me inspiration for my “Give a SMILE – one card at a time” program where I love making and taking paper crafting “JOY” to the University of New Mexico Children’s Hospital! This is part of my paper crafting “journey” with Stampin’ Up! If you have materials like ribbon, card stock, and DSP…use them to donate and give joy to your community. Read on for inspiration for your paper crafting journey!

This week’s Video Tutorial features all the May 2022 PP Kit material. I’ll demonstrate how to use the materials and be creative to make some boxes from card blanks, bags from envelopes, and various tags from anything left over. Please leave a comment and share! Thank you for joining me!


Create BOXES using card blanks!

Use the white card blanks to create these treat boxes.
  • Just take the card blank and cut it in half at the fold line.
  • Determine which piece you want for the box “top”. The “top” will always be slightly larger than the box bottom. Set it aside.
  • Take the piece for the box bottom and (using your trimmer) cut off about 1/8″ from the top and side.
  • Using your Score Board — score both pieces at 3/4″ around all sides. Follow the video tutorial directions for assembling your boxes.

Create BAGS and TAGS!

  • Dis-assemble an envelop
  • Re-assemble “inside-out” taking care to only show the smooth seams.
  • Glue
  • Select the top of the bag and cut the envelope seam to create an opening
  • Using your Score Board — place the open “top” of the envelope at the top of the scoreboard and score 1″ along the side and bottom of the envelope bag.
  • Refer to the video tutorial and score a diagonal line to miter a bottom fold.
