Hello there! Hope your week is buzzing right along at a happy pace! Do you subscribe to Paper Pumpkin?! I am a long time subscriber myself. I have hung on long enough to watch as it gained it's wonderful momentum and take off! The kits these days are totally kick butt!! If you are not aware of the goodness that is the Paper Pumpkin, allow me to elaborate. It is an all inclusive (minus additional adhesive) monthly craft kit. It comes with all the goodies you need to create a fun project or a set of cards. It is a surprise every month and definitely one I still get excited about!! This month's kit was just...WOWSERS!!! Plus--->every kit comes with a teeny stamping spot (ink pad) and a stamp set.
I borrowed a few of the goodies from September's kit to make my project today.
I made a Fall themed card in a box. I just love this project! It appears to be a card until you open it to reveal a box! Fun stuff! Take a look:

Here it is all closed with a belly band holding it snug.
The leaves are from the Paper pumpkin kit as well as the leaf stamp on the sides. I used Cherry Cobbler for the card/box base and Crushed Curry and Very vanilla for my side panels. The gorgeous gold leaf is a sticker that I placed onto a piece of Pumpkin pie and fussy cut around. I layered the die cuts (also from the PP kit) on top of a piece of Burlap ribbon to dress up the belly band.

Better look at the belly band and it's embellishments.
Those gold stickers are just beautiful!
Here it is opened up. I used the leaf stamps from the Gourd Goodness stamp set for the inside. I also added a strip from the Decorative ribbon punch below the sentiment. Finished it up by adding a few gold glimmer dots that I punched using a standard hole punch.
This box will hold a gift card, or a flat piece of candy and still close. Have I mentioned how much fun this project is?!
