November Paper Pumpkin Alternative - A Gingerbread House

 FACEBOOK LIVE FOR DETAILS

This cute Paper Pumpkin Kit has the ingredients to make many gift tags and encasements.  I took two of the tag coverings and used the scored tab to adhere one tag covering to another tag covering.  Prior to that, I used the Brick embossing folder to put a brick texture on the Gingerbread house walls.  I also embossed a small piece of Cinnamon Cider that was cut to cover over the door to the back of the house.   For the bottom of the box, I used a 3 5/8" x 3 5/8" piece of Cinnamon Cider scored at 5/8" all the way around.  Burnish the score lines and trim the side tabs to create a base with four sides.  Wrap the Gingerbread house pieces around the base to create an open box. I used the Umbrella Builder Punch to cut candy canes from diagonally patterned DSP to adorn the back of the house.  Punch a small (1/16") hole on both sides of the house apex to slide the Play Pets Combo Ribbon through it.  After placing candy or other treats into the box, pinch the sides of the house at the top to enable the ribbon to close the top of the box.
