#APaperPumpkinThing
Welcome to our monthly APPT blog hop to showcase Paper Pumpkin kit alternate projects! This time we are highlighting the Oct 2023 Home For The Holidays Paper Pumpkin kit. See what I have to share. Then check out all the other blogs in the hop for additional creative ideas my fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrator friends shared. To follow the hop and see these other creative project ideas, simply scroll down and click on the names of the other hop participants. (If you are receiving this blog post by email, click HERE to see the hop.)

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.)

I’ve already shared some other alternate projects using the contents of this kit on Oct 27.

• Three fun-fold cards – one vertical bridge-fold and two freestanding pop-up cards
• And two versions of a vertical Post-It® Note holder.

Today I am sharing how I turned the two different kit cards into eight. Doing this with all the supplies would produce 32 cards total quadrupling the cards you can get from the kit.

This photo above and the measurements below only pertain to changing two kit cards into eight though. So if you have a full kit left (or a full refill kit), then you would just need to multiply these measurements by four.

Products I used… See below for a complete list of extra products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.

Measurements for changing two kit cards into eight…

• Night of Navy Cardstock
  • (2) 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to the short side at 4-1/4″
  • (6) 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored parallel to the short side at 5-1/2″
• Kit Envelopes
  • (2) flaps only cut to 4-1/4″ wide
  • (2) 4″ x 5-1/4″ white layers
  • (2) 3-1/4″ x 4-1/2″ white layers
• Portrait Kit Card
  • (4) white: 1-1/16″ x 2-3/4″
  • (1) white: 2-3/4″ x 4-1/4″
  • Scene: 3″ x 4-1/4″
  • White ground: 2-1/2″ x 4-1/4″
• Landscape Kit Card
  • (2) light blue: 1-1/16″ x 2-3/4″
  • (2) white: 2-3/4″ x 4-1/4″
  • Scene: 3-3/16″ x 5-1/2″

Here is how the above pieces (and some ribbon) come together to make all eight cards.

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.
