Paper Players 163 with Cassidy

Happy Sunday, peeps!  This post is photo-heavy, just to warn you!  Anne Marie is our hostess today at the Paper Players and she has a fun challenge for us:

Oh boy!  Or maybe I should say “Oh girl”, because naturally, I wanted to try to include Cassidy in my project!  I had seen these really cute, simple pleated pumpkins on Pinterest and I wondered if Cassidy could make one – with my assistance, of course!!!  So here is Cassidy's project:

I found some glittery orange and green cardstocks in my stash and we went to work. 

First, I copied the patterns and cut them out on scrap paper, tracing them on the back of the card stock.  I cut the pumpkin out for her, since she still can’t use scissors….although we’re working on that skill!  I scored them for her and told her how to fold them:

Notice, she is using a bone folder to make the creases nice & sharp!

I helped her punch the holes in the folded pumpkin:

Then we went outside to find a stick, and we threaded it through the holes:

Now back inside, we put the Autumn Accents die and some green sparkly paper in the Big Shot and she cranked it through:

And we have our leaf:

Another hole, threaded it on and we are almost done!

Later on, I had her stamp a little image from Gift Givers and she actually colored it in herself with a Pumpkin Pie marker….now she doesn’t want to color with her kid’s markers, she wants MY markers!!  Of course!

Not too bad for a 3-year-old!  I made some as well, stepping them up just a wee bit, using Sweater Weather paper and adding some various tags:

These were fun, quick & easy….a perfect project for a child of any age!  I hope you can play along with our challenge this week…it doesn’t have to be a project, it can be a card as well!  Can’t wait to see what you create!  Be sure to check out the other designers and their creations as well!
