MEMORABLE FLOWERS ALTERNATE PROJECTS
It’s time for our APPT – “A Paper Pumpkin Thing” blog hop and it is full of inspiration. This month we’re sharing alternate ideas featuring the August 2023 “Meaningful Flowers” Paper Pumpkin kit. Take the blog hop below for more inspiration.
This month’s Paper Pumpkin kit came with not only the essentials but also a FREE bonus Lotus Flower stamp set. This stunning Frosted Window gift set was created with that free set, complete with a card and a trendy purse treat bag! 
I used the ever-versatile Stampin’ Up! Tricks and Treats Box Dies to make the enchanting purse box. And guess what? I’ve put together a step-by-step guide and an accompanying video for you to create these fabulous pieces yourself. 
So stampers and DIY enthusiasts, how will you be using your free Lotus Flower stamp set?

Have you tried these designs? I love to see your creations! Be sure to share them on #shareyourcrafts post every Saturday on my Facebook Page.
I layered the Stampin’ Up Gorgeous Garden Die cuts over Vellum to created the “frosted window” effect.
The purse box was created with the Stampin’ Up Tricks & Treats Dies.
I cut the windows with the Nested Essentials dies.
The flower is from the free bonus stamp set gift that came in the August Paper Pumpkin kit. I stamped it and colored with Stampin’ Blends markers. 
Layering the flower gives it dimension and really makes it pop on the card.
I also created this card set with the Memorable Flowers Kit. I have more details here.
I have a August Paper Pumpkin share challenge on my Facebook page. I love to see your projects and you could win a free kit.
The Nested Essentials Dies is a real beauty! The way you paired it over vellum to create a frosted window for the box and card is so nice.
Thank you, Cindy. I like vellum a lot to give a frosted or soft look to cards as well.
Thanks so much. I love the Nested Essentials Dies too!

very pretty card and bag, extra cards are lovely also
I’m so glad you like them, JoAnn. Thank you.
Thanks, JoAnn!
I’m thinking I might need those Nestled Essentials dies. Very nice!
Yes, you do – they are an “essential!”
