One thing I think of in October: Pumpkins. How can you not? Instead of making a card with Pumpkins on it I decided to go with a box. I was thinking about it and I decided to see if someone came up with a pattern to make a hexagon type box with the envelope punch board. Yup. Someone sure did. Thanks for making that thought a reality! You can view the pin here. I figured that if I made the box out of orange patterned paper and tied it off with a green ribbon it would resemble a pumpkin. The best part of this idea is you can easily use this for Halloween or Thanksgiving. Have I mentioned how much I love my envelope punch board??

Here are a couple more boxes I made from the same paper pack Confetti Celebration. Some quick notes about this project: I went with a color scheme from the paper pack, Tangelo Twist and Bermuda Bay. (I know Bermuda Bay is technically a shade of blue. But it's a greenish blue. ) I didn't have ribbon to match this project. So I dyed some white seam binding with my reinkers. My fingers are orange and blue now but it was totally worth it!

Supplies:
Stamp Set: Chalk Talk
Ink: Bermuda Bay, Tangelo Twist
Paper: Confetti Celebration DSP
Card Stock: Whisper White
Accessories: Chalk Talk Framelits Dies, White Seam Binding, 1 3/8" Circle Punch, Envelope Punch Board
