+20 Alternatives - September 2023 Paper Pumpkin - With Love & Gratitude - How To Assemble That Bag!

I don't normally look at the instructions but the score lines on the bag made me look. When there were no detailed instructions I figured it out so I could share the steps with you. Of course I am going to cut them up for A2 cards, but curiosity got the best of me.
Because this is packed with info I've added timestamps.

[@tracymarielewis-stuffnthingz]

Glad you like them!

[@madratrubber2935]

Just so much information always 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@tracymarielewis-stuffnthingz]

Glad you think so!

[@bjoyceeg]

I loved the detailed breakdown of the pieces of the kit as well as tips about using an embossing folder. However, although I think using the extra gold pieces is a good idea for other die cuts, I didn't like the "fiddly" bits from the center. I enjoyed your "mixing and matching" to create the different possible cards and the addition of the extra cardstock.

[@kathykelly283]

Beautiful cards Tracy, I like your use of the left over tiddly bits!

[@tracymarielewis-stuffnthingz]

Thanks so much!

[@smileyj53]

Thanks

[@lyndablankfeld5155]

I love your process with a Layouts and especially your tip about adding dimensionals to little pieces of paper to see how it’s going to look

[@tracymarielewis-stuffnthingz]

You are so welcome!

[@virginiaramcheck8635]

I am new to your videos...just subscribed ... Glad to see alternatives for paper pumpkin...thanks!

[@tracymarielewis-stuffnthingz]

Thanks for subbing!

[@kellylynn6831]

Tip, i found that when i have paper that has a bit of crumbling, i put it in a foled sheet of copy paper and roll through die cut machine. It might help with your slightly crumpled bags.

[@tracymarielewis-stuffnthingz]

ooo, I will give that a try, thanks so much!

[@addielapi5055]

Every one of these cards is absolutely beautiful. Each one is its own work of art. I’m sorry now that I didn’t get this kit

[@tracymarielewis-stuffnthingz]

Oh no!

[@dianawoo8129]

On your last lay out I would love to know the emboss technique for the copper clay and white.

[@tracymarielewis-stuffnthingz]

I used the copper clay spot to rub ink on the top of the Distress Tile 3D embossing folder. It is the large section of the bag. Then I cut it in two pieces. Thanks for asking, Enjoy!

[@kathykelly283]

My kit came yesterday Tracy and the tips of my envelopes were messed up too.

[@kellylynn6831]

Try putting them in a folded over piece of copy paper and roll through cut and emboss machine. Gave this tip to Tracy.

[@tracymarielewis-stuffnthingz]

such a bummer, likely most if not all are like that.

[@tracymarielewis-stuffnthingz]

thanks! will try it out:D

[@virginiaramcheck8635]

What is the name of your finger held craft knife? I have a fiskars one, but it doesn't rotate. I hate fussy cutting, but love the kiss cut look.

[@tracymarielewis-stuffnthingz]

Fiskars knife Amazon shop link: amzn.to/3qzYfQD (my affiliate shop) -If your knife looks exactly like mine perhaps your swivel is stuck/broken in some way.
