Gold Pizza Box with 3-D Pumpkin

Thank you for your super kind comments and enthusiastic response to this beautiful Gold Pizza Box with the 3-D pumpkin that I created with Cindee!! We both loved how this project came out and I’m glad you did too! Use it for Thanksgiving or anytime in the fall – hostess gift, table favor, table decor, neighbor gift..

We created a paper belly band to slip around the pizza box so that the recipient can slide it off, and retrieve the goodie in side. The Stampin’ UP! products used are all listed at the bottom of this blog post and can be found online in the Come to Gather Suite as well as the Harvest Hellos Bundle. Find the Gold Pizza Boxes online here. The beautiful greeting is found in the For the Love of Felt set.

The trick to this great 3-D pumpkin is to stamp and punch 8 pumpkin images then fold them in 1/2 and adhere them back to back to back… (see this video). We used 8 folded pumpkins added to one flat pumpkin as you’ll see in the video. You can make this with however many folded pumpkins you would like to. I used the Simply Scored board to make folding them super easy.

In addition to the beautiful pumpkin, the other start of the show on my gold pizza box is the leaves!!! When Cindee and I made these, she smooshed the leaf die (from the Gather Together Bundle) into the ink pad, then placed it onto the cardstock, then die cut them. We used Cajun Craze ink and Soft Suede cardstock. After die cutting, Cindee crumpled the leaves in her hand to give them lots of 3-D texture.

After the leaves, pumpkin and greeting were attached to the Come to Gather Designer Paper belly band, we flicked Gold speckles on the leaves and pumpkin. We also sponged gold onto the leaves. We used the new Delicata Golden Glitz ink pad and reinker for this (per the video).
