Did you get your hands on the October 2023 Home For The Holidays Paper Pumpkin kit? I did, and I had a very fun time putting together alternate projects. I have my first set of projects to share with you today.
This festive kit contained the supplies shown below to make eight Christmas/holiday-themed cards (four of 2 styles).
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…
- Three fun-fold cards – one vertical bridge-fold and two freestanding pop-up cards
- And two versions of a vertical Post-It® Note holder.
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 November 3.
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.)
