I have my January 2024 Lovely Lavender Paper Pumpkin kit in hand, and I’m ready to demonstrate for you my first set of alternate projects that I’ve created!
For those of you not familiar with our kits, they come with all the supplies you need AND directions for assembling the kit cards/projects as designed. Here are the intended cards/projects designed for this January 2024 Lovely Lavender Paper Pumpkin kit. (Click here for a link to Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video to help you assemble these as intended.)

But I like to take the supplies from the kits and create other things…think outside the box. This way I can show how to stretch the kits in new ways. A kit that you may have not been a fan of might all of a sudden be more attractive (or a favorite) because of a new way of using the supplies!
And I’m sharing my first alternates with you today. Even if you didn’t get this kit, I hope the ideas I share can be applied to other products you own, and I hope what I share inspires your creativity!
Watch my video first by clicking here to get the measurements, directions, and tips (or you can just click on the 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 everything.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. (Please subscribe to my YouTube channel or tune into my events on my Facebook Page so you can get updates when I share and go live).
Here are close-up photos of the alternate cards I made and shared in my video. (Remember to watch first to get measurements, tips and directions.)

I hope you enjoyed what I shared today! Again…if you did not get this kit, I hope you can apply these ideas to products you already own.
