I received my May 2024 Paper Pumpkin kits on Sunday. And I was able to take time to create alternate project ideas with it right away on Monday. I LOVE thinking outside the box and coming up with card, page, and project ideas that are different than what the kit directions map out. I created quite a few items, too! I was inspired.

For those of you not familiar with these kits, they get delivered straight to your mailbox in the months of your choice. Inside are all the supplies you need AND the directions for assembling the kit cards/projects designed. Here are the intended cards designed for this May 2024 The Best There Is Paper Pumpkin kit. (Click here for Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video to help you assemble these as intended.)

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 projects I made and shared in my video. (Remember to watch first to get measurements, tips and directions.)

Simple Card and…

…In Color Version of the same card

I used the beautiful background I demonstrated this past weekend. I was inspired by a swap card from fellow demonstrator, Virginie Julien. (If she hasn’t already, she will be sharing how to make her card soon. Here is a link to her Facebook page. And here is a link to her YouTube channel.)

Front Pocket Card

Inspiration came from this beautiful card from JJ Bolton.

Z-Fold Card and In Color/Layering Leaves Version

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.
