First of all, I need to apologize. The new October Paper Pumpkin kit is called Winter WOODS not Winter Wishes. So ignore my mistakes in the video please. ?I realized it way too late. Hahaha! (I’m going to blame it on the fact that I need reading glasses now.)
As many of you know, I LOVE getting these monthly kits! They are just way too much fun. This month’s kit included supplies to put together ten beautiful holiday/winter cards. And it included the supplies shown below.
But I like to think outside the box…see what else I can come up with, and create alternate cards, scrapbook pages and more. So I added the extra supplies in the product list at the bottom of this post to the above kit contents and created my alternate projects that I’m sharing with you today:
- Turning the supplies for one card into three
- A window card
- A simple 12×12 scrapbook page layout with a shaker centerpiece
- And a vertical bendi card
Watch my video first to get to get measurements, directions, and tips (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog). Scroll down to see close-up photos, access the links that I mentioned in my video, and see a list of extra supplies (linked to my online store) that I used to make my creations. Then be sure to visit my blog again soon, because I have many more alternate projects that I’ll be sharing in the coming week or so. ?
Here are the cards that the kit instructs how to make.
And here are close-up photos of the alternate projects I made and shared in my video. (Remember to watch the video first to get measurements, tips and directions.)
Turning the supplies for one card into three…
A window card…
A simple 12×12 scrapbook page layout with a shaker centerpiece…

I hope I inspired your creativity with what I shared today!

The commitment is to order at least $25 worth of Stampin’ Up! product in each of those 6 months. In one of those months, you would reap the hosting rewards (free merchandise based on the club orders).

Beautiful projects! You have converted me to using your trick of putting sentiments on diagonally! I really can’t believe how I was using the block guide my stamping with too many uhohs! Thank you for sharing your talent!
It’s crazy how subconsciously we do. Right? Glad that idea helped you out. And thank you so much Lynndorian. You’re so sweet.
I look forward to your alternatives for the PP kit each month! Thank you for generously sharing your ideas.
You’re sweet, Heather. I appreciate you telling me. It’s like I got an extra hug today. Thank you!
