A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop - Summer Nights

Welcome to our JULY 2020 #APaperPumpkinThing Blog Hop. Each month we share alternate projects using Stampin' Up!'s Paper Pumpkin Kit! We usually hop on the last Thursday of the month, but our July hop was postponed until today. My alternate project is a mini album.

Our Paper Pumpkin kit for July was called Summer Nights. It came with supplies to create 9 postcards, with coordinating envelopes, plus 9 die-cut tea light bags to decorate. Below is a picture of how the projects would look if you make them according to the kit directions. (of course, the idea of the tea light bags is to stand them up, then put a tea light inside, and then you'd see the light coming through the spaces where it is die-cut)

A special Summer Nights Add-On product was also available through My Online Store starting July 1st, which coordinates with the Summer Nights Paper Pumpkin kit. It includes 24 pre-printed 4-1/4" x5-1/2" foldover card bases, with 24 coordinating envelopes. As of this writing, you can still get the Summer Nights Add-On, so I used supplies from that on my project.

The album is put together with some of the envelopes from the Summer Nights Add-On, and decorated with some of the postcards and die-cuts from the Summer Nights Paper Pumpkin Kit. I used the Calypso Coral Ink Pad and a Stampin' Sponge to get some light color on the die cut label that came in the Paper Pumpkin Kit, then I stamped the saying in the same ink at full strength. I attached the label with the Mini Stampin' Dimensionals that came in the Paper Pumpkin Kit, but they are also available for purchase separately.

The picture above is the back of the album when it's closed...I wanted to put something there to hold the twine in place on the back so it didn't just fall off when it was opened. I used the Misty Moonlight Ink Pad and a Stampin' Sponge to lightly color this other label from the Paper Pumpkin Kit, then stamped the saying in the same ink at full strength. The little firefly is another die cut from the Paper Pumpkin Kit, adhered with Mini Glue Dots, which are also included in that kit...but you can also purchase those separately.

The picture above is a shot of the inside when one flap is opened, and you can see a die-cut bag, and a starry night panel adhered, which came from the Paper Pumpkin Kit. I adhered them using Stampin' SEAL Adhesive, which is not in the kit, but available for purchase separately. The picture below is a shot of the inside when it is fully opened. Each panel (from the Paper Pumpkin Kit) that you see when it's fully open covers an envelope from the Summer Nights Add-On, and inside each envelope is a card base from the same. You could stamp up the card bases, use them for journaling, or add more pictures on them and/or in them.

It's hard to get pictures to show you clearly how it opens, so I did a short video of me opening it up and walking through it. I had to hold my camera in one hand while I did it, so I hope I don't give you motion sickness with all the moving around!
