I just put together my first set of alternate projects using the March 2021 Here’s to You Paper Pumpkin monthly subscription kit! And I’m excited to share them with you today!

This kit contained the supplies shown below to make eight full-size cards for celebrating life’s little moments and mountain-high milestones.

But I never assemble my kits as is, because I like to show subscribers other ways to use those supplies. I like to think outside the box…see what else I can come up with, and create alternate cards, scrapbook pages and more. So today I’m sharing with you…

• How I added a few extra supplies to triple the cards in the kit (includes a couple fun fold cards)
• How I simply repurposed the kit box to make a gift box
• And how I made a masculine-themed birthday 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 in my blog post). 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 on April 1st and April 10th. 

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 these as intended.)

And here are close-up photos of the alternate projects I made and shared in my video. (Remember to watch my video first to get measurements, tips and directions.)

Tripling the cards in the kit 
With one kit and a few extra supplies you’ll be able to make four of each of the following designs. (I made two sets which is why you see two of each design in the photos.)

Card #1

Card #2

Card #3

Card #4

Card #5

Card #6

And then you just need to add in this many envelopes times four. So use four kraft ones from the kit and another 20 medium Basic White ones to get 24 total envelopes for the 24 cards.

Repurposing the kit box to make a gift box

And a 12×12 scrapbook page layout

I hope I inspired your creativity with what I shared today! If you did not get this kit, I hope you can apply these ideas to products you already own.
