Adventure Awaits - Altered Mini Paper Pumpkin Box

 Because of the ongoing pandemic travel is only in your mind - but that doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy the journey. Part of the journey is packing your clothes in a suitcase that makes a statement - a statement about who you are and where you are going.

Today I wanted to travel so I made a suitcase out of a mini Paper Pumpkin box. And it turned out so good I just had to fill it with coordinating notecards and envelopes (4 in total) and a designer pen.

I am so happy with the way it turned out. Wouldn’t it make a great birthday present for a man in your life?




I used the “Beautiful World “ stamp set and the coordinating dies. I kept the colour scheme to Navy and White with some bronze highlights. The hardware is from a long ago retired “Hodgepodge Hardware “ kit some elements of which have re-emerged in the new Annual catalogue. It just shows you- don’t throw anything out.

Here are the dimensions forthe cardstock and DSP 

 . Night of Navy card stock:  1 piece 5 5/8 by 3 3/4”, 2 pieces 33/4 by 1”, 2 pieces 5 5/8 by 1”

. Playing with Patterns DSP. 5 3/8 by 3 1/2”: 2 pieces 3 1/2 by 3/4” and 2 pieces 5 3/8 by 3/4”

 . Night of Navy 2 pieces 6 3/4 by 3/8” - straps

.Night of Navy 5 1/2 by 1” for handle

.Bronze foil  2 by 2” for die cut globe

.Scraps of Whisper White cardstock for sentiments


Accessories:  Hodgepodge-hardware, peacock rhinestones
