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.

thank you for sharing how to make more cards from paper pumpkin, it s amazing how many cards can be made and your videos make it look so easy
Thanks Connie. Glad my ideas inspired you. 😊
Rachel, I am astounded at the things you Make and think of. This months paper PUMPKIN turned MAGIC in your hands. Your COACHing was fantastic.
I do not think that is an over the top sentence. I just wanted to say thank you. I am a demonstrator for stamping up. I joined last july selfishly, lazily for the discount. Can other demonstrators join your groups I see here? I had and still have no plans to DEMONSTRATE. I need friends to “craft” with with no expectation for me to be good. But maybe an expection for me to try to get better.
Thank you Ann. You made me smile wide.
Are you referring to my PP subscriber group? Or are you referring to my team of demonstrators (Stampers With ART)? Guessing you joined SU under someone you know. Can you reach out to them?
