I’m super excited to share my first set of alternate project ideas that I created using the contents of the October 2021 Peaceful Christmas Paper Pumpkin kit!
This kit contained the supplies shown below to make ten stunning Christmas cards.
But I never assemble my kits as is, because I like to show Paper Pumpkin kit 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 tripled the number of cards in the kit
- Gift card holders that I made from the envelopes
- And a hanging lantern Christmas ornament idea
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 October 28 and again on November 9th.
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.)
Again…just remember to make 5 of each of these cards to get 30 cards from your kit.
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.

I just finished my Halloween/Thanksgiving cards…ready for Christmas.
Yay!
Wow! You are amazing.! Thank you for sharing your talent whit us.
Aww…thanks so much Mary Jo. ❤️
Incredible ideas! So very creative! Thank you so much for sharing! 🙏🏻🥰🙏🏻
Thanks Cindy! 🦋
I love the gift card/money holder. How did you take the envelopes apart with out tearing them?
trimming the sides. 🙂 I share that in my video. Thanks Dianna.
This is wonderful, thank you so much for sharing ❤ Do you have a pdf of the cut list for the alternates? I thought you said there was but I’m unable to locate (and am horrid at taking notes during while making the samples).
Thanks Heather. No…because my PP Alternates videos include many projects, I do not have a PDF as well. That would add a few more hours to my “work time.” LOL
I have clicked on everything that says it will take me to the measurements and all I get is this page or the video of the directions on how to make the cards. Granted you verbally give the measurements, but I need them in writing. Cut 5 black sheets in half at 5.5 x 8.5 or 4.25 x 11 etc… Cut the tree paper at 2.5 at each end and cut the middle piece 1/8″ off on the side with the the large tree… Etc… How to cut up the basic white paper…
I know I am a year late. Usually you have a measurement page at the end but I must have missed it…. 🙁
When I post my “multiple projects” Paper Pumpkin videos I do not share the written measurements. Sorry. This would take me several more hours of time. And because I’m a mom, time is very precious to me. Have you tried pausing the video as you create? This is what many others do.
