Dec 2024 Notes From The Heart Alternates Set 2 & Blog Hop

Welcome to our monthly “A Paper Pumpkin Thing” blog hop! It’s time to showcase our December 2024 Nests of Christmas Paper Pumpkin kit alternate projects! See what I have to share. Then check out all the other blogs in the hop for additional creative ideas that my Stampin’ Up! demonstrator friends shared.

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 December 2024 kit. (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 (a variety of fun fold cards) using the contents of this kit on December 20th. Today I am sharing: a few other cards, some treat bag ideas, and 2 scrapbook pages.

Watch my video here to get to get measurements, directions, and tips (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on 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.

I hope you enjoyed what I shared and gained some creative inspiration! Below are close-up photos of the projects I made and shared in my video. (Remember to watch my video first to get measurements, tips and directions.)
