Turn A Paper Pumpkin card into a box – video

Hello! I hope you are well. I was delighted to receive the April 2026 Lakeside Retreat Paper Pumpkin box at OnStage in Cologne in March. But it has taken me a while to get around to actually making the cards! And once I’d made one of each card, I knew I just had to play around with the remaining supplies to see what else I could come up with! And that’s when I decided to turn a Paper Pumpkin card into a box. But first, here’s the 3 cards I made, following the instructions in the Paper Pumpkin box…

You get enough supplies in the box to make 3 of each of the cards. So I took the supplies for card number 2 and make this coordinating box…

I didn’t add any supplies from my stash to make this box, but instead I had some leftover bits and pieces that I can make a card with, by adding some Basic White card. I did use my paper trimmer to cut and score the card base and some of the other elements to make them fit the front of the box. And of course I had to use a pair of scissors to make a few cuts to turn the card into a box.

Watch as I turn the supplies for card number 3 into another little gift box…

MEASUREMENTS

To make the gift box in today’s video you’ll need the following supplies

• A Paper Pumpkin card base that has the same design printed on the front and back
  • Cut this on the long side so that the base now measures 8″ x 5-1/2″ with the original score line now at 3-3/4″ from the left hand side
    • score on the long side at 2-3/4″ (it’s already scored at 3-3/4″), 6-1/2″ and 7-1/2″
    • score on the short side at 1″, 4″ and 5″
• Pieces from the Paper Pumpkin kit to decorate the front of your gift box

I hope you have as much fun turning your Paper Pumpkin card into a box as I did!
