A Paper Pumpkin Thing – Summer Nights

July 30, 2020 Leave a Comment

It’s time for another A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop, albeit a bit later than usual. The July 2020 kit was called Summer Nights and was full of wonderful backgrounds. I loved the projects in the kit but had lots of other ideas for alternate projects. Here’s just two of them.

SIMPLE SUMMER NIGHTS CARD

First up I created this simple summer scene using one of the postcard bases in the Summer Nights kit.

I began by stamping the adult and child image from the A Good Man Stamp Set onto the bottom of the postcard. Then using the dark Basic Black Stampin’ Blends alcohol marker I coloured in the whole image.

Next I stamped the “Oh the summer nights…” sentiment in the space to the left of the image using Tuxedo Black ink.

To finish the front of the card I threaded three of the round lanterns onto a short piece of Night of Navy Baker’s Twine from the kit. Using a couple of Mini Glue Dots I attached the twine to the back of the card so it draped across the top right corner. I wanted the lanterns to look as if they were strung away from me so I used a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional to hold the left-hand lantern in place. Next I used Mini Glue Dots to stack three of the pieces pushed out from the lantern handles. Then I used this small stack of card to lift up the middle lantern. For the third lantern I simply attached it directly onto the background.

With that done I used my Paper Trimmer to cut and score a piece of Basic Black Card. I folded it along the scored line and sharpened the crease with a Bone Folder to create a card base. Then using more Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals from the kit I mounted the assembled layer onto the front.

On a layer of Whisper White Card I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue (Tombow) to fix a lantern in the bottom right corner. Then with more liquid glue I fixed the layer inside the card base.

Finally I glued another lantern on the front of one of the white envelopes from the Summer Nights kit and my first project was done.

FIREWORKS

For my second project I cut one of the night-time postcards into a 2″ x 5-1/4″ strip. Then using the Detailed Trio Punch I added an oval hole at the top and rounded all four corners.

Using VersaMark ink I stamped the “You light up my life” sentiment across the bottom of the piece. Then I stamped the firework image twice above it. I sprinkled the sticky ink with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and tapped off the excess. Then I melted the remaining powder with my Heat Tool set on 2 (high).

Finally I threaded some of the new Mint Macaron 1/2″ ribbon from the Basket Weave & Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack through the hole. Then I tied some of the Night of Navy Baker’s Twine from the kit in a bow around the ribbon to hold it in place.

Two quick projects and so many more pieces of the kit left to play with!
