#APaperPumpkinThing
Welcome to our monthly APPT blog hop to showcase Paper Pumpkin kit alternate projects! This time we are highlighting the Nov 2023 Warm Wishes 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.

Here are the treat containers 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 Nov 22.
- Two variations of the treat containers
- Cards that are paired with the Warm Wishes Add-On Cards and Envelopes
- And cards that show how you can multiply the kit to get 32 cards.
Today I am sharing a 12×12 scrapbook page layout.
I have a senior in high school this year. Thoughts of my boys moving out someday and coming back for the holidays inspired the title for this layout, which I thought was fitting for all of the festive houses.
The large houses come from the treat containers in this kit. The smaller ones come from pieces in the October 2023 kit (these two kits coordinate with each other). I also used the Glitter Glue from the October kit on the torn edges of my snowy hills, and on the upper left areas of my die-cut letters.
The Balmy Blue Sparkle Ribbon trailing through the middle of the page is retiring soon. The letters of the title were created with the Mini Alphabet Dies, which will debut Jan. 4.
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…
- Basic White Cardstock
- (2) 12″ x 12″
- (2) 6″ x 12″
- Balmy Blue Cardstock
- (4) 4-1/8″ x 5-1/2″
- (2) 4-1/8″ x 4-1/8″
- Scraps for die-cutting letters
- Balmy Blue Sparkle Ribbon
- (2) 9″
I added the ribbon using Tear & Tape Adhesive 4-3/4″ down from the top on each page. The ribbon is only 9″ so you’ll want to make sure it starts at the outer edges because the gap in the middle will be covered by the mini houses and tree pieces from the October kit. After adding the photo mats across the top, above the ribbon, I added the mini houses and trees with dimensionals.
I tore my 6″ x 12″ paper to create the snowy hills and used the excess that curved downward for the extra hill in the distance. After attaching these to the page I was able to position and adhere my blue letters. Next I added the square photo mats and the larger houses. The houses without the wreaths come forward a bit more with dimensionals. I also added an extra roof layer with dimensionals on those houses. After adding the glitter glue to the hills and letters in the title, and allowing it to dry, I finished by adding three pearls to the left of the word ‘home’ to balance the spacing.
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.
