I was so excited when the May 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit came to my door! I love bright and cheerful colors, and HOW FUN that this kit included new colors: the 2020-22 In Colors (hence the name of the kit)! In fact the ink pad included is even in a new color: Misty Moonlight. Yay!!

This fantastic, all-inclusive, monthly subscription kit contained the supplies shown below to make 8 full-size cards (5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″) and 4 additional notecard-size cards (5″ x 3-1/2″)… 4 each of 3 designs total.

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:

• A S’mores Card
• A Pot of Gold at the End of the Rainbow Card
• A Diagonal Split Card
• A Popsicle Card
• And a Popsicle-Themed 12×12 Scrapbook Page Layout

Watch my video first by clicking here to get to get measurements, directions, and tips (or 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 soon.

Here are the cards the kit instructs how to make. (Click here for a link to Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video to help you assemble the cards as intended.)

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.)

A S’mores Card

I altered this card a bit afterwards. I used the 1/2″ Circle Punch and removed the upper right portion to look like a bite mark. I think this makes it look more like a s’more. Don’t you?
