My first set of Paper Pumpkin alternates are ready to share. This month I got my kit a little later than usual because I was on vacation with my family for two weeks. So instead of two separate blog posts, I’m posting my initial introduction of the kit with the video in today’s post as part of a monthly blog hop I’m in. 

#APaperPumpkinThing
Welcome to our monthly “A Paper Pumpkin Thing” blog hop! See what I have to share. Then check out all the other blogs in the hop to see additional creative alternate paper crafting project ideas that we each came up with using the contents of the June 2022 Pick of the Crop Paper Pumpkin kit. To follow the hop and see other creative project ideas, simply scroll down and click on the names of other hop participants. (If you are receiving this blog post by email, click HERE to see the hop.)

This month’s kit contained the supplies shown below to make nine cards (3 of 3 designs).

And these 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.)

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 to make eight alternate cards from the supplies of the three kit cards.

And…by applying these designs to all three sets of cards in your kit, you can nearly triple the cards you can get from 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, because I will have more to share on July 10th.

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

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.

If you are not a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, I invite you to give it a try. CLICK HERE to learn more. CLICK HERE to sign up by July 10th for this next kit…
