I got my Paper Pumpkin kit a bit later this month…this past Friday in the late afternoon. Thankfully I had a bit of time this weekend and went straight to work creating, recording my how-to video, and photographing my April 2021 So Cool alternate projects so I could share them with you today.
This colorful kit contained the supplies shown below to make twelve fun-shaped cards.
As many of you know, 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…
- Popsicle “house” cards
- Watermelon “pizza” card
- How to get 20 RAK cards from the stickers
- A fun watermelon 12×12 scrapbook page layout
- And how to double the cards in the kit
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 29th and again on May 9th.
Here are the cards the kit instructs how to make…well…my version of them without the twine.
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.)

I hate to appear as a dummy, BUT what the heck is an RAK cards? I understand they are smaller and I think a single sheet CS for card base. Have I gotten any of this correct? TFS!
RAK…Random Acts of Kindness.
Basically you can name any card a RAK card. But the term is used when you just give or send a card just to brighten someone’s day for no reason.
My jaw dropped when I saw you turn the popsicle into a house on you tube!!! You are simply amazing Rachel 💗
Aww…thanks Laurel. Glad you liked that idea.
