Sorry for the delay. I was on a much needed retreat this past week. I rested and enjoyed my time away. I opened my February 2025 Hello Spring Paper Pumpkin kit Monday evening, fell in love with all the beautiful imagery and colors, and put together three unique cards to share with you today. This is my first set of alternate projects. Then I’ll share more on March 1st within the collection of exclusives that my Paper Pumpkin Creatives Team is currently compiling and again on March 7th for the “A Paper Pumpkin Thing” blog hop.
Here are the consumable supplies (minus the stamp set and ink) that come with this kit.
This kit has enough supplies to make 9 springtime cards (3 of 3 kinds). Do you want to make them as intended? Click here for a link to Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video.
I love to show kit recipients other ways to use their supplies. I like to think outside the box, see what else I can come up with, and create alternate cards, scrapbook pages, and more. So today I’m sharing with you a simple window card, an altered double z-fold card, and a “diamond display” card.
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 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 my creations. Then remember to visit my blog again soon, because I’ll have many more alternate projects that I’ll be sharing in future posts!
I hope you enjoyed what I shared and gained some creative inspiration! Below are close-up photos of the alternate cards I created. (Remember to watch my video first to get measurements, tips and directions.)
**Products that I’ve shared or mentioned are shown/listed below and are currently linked to my online store.
A Simple Window Card
An Altered Double Z-Fold Card
A “Diamond Display” Card
I learned during my Live that the “diamond display” card was based on one that fellow demonstrator, Terri Gaines designed. She called it the Decorative Panel Pop Out Card. Click here for her video tutorial.
Each of these cards were inspired by a few that I showed off during my 2/18/25 Show & Share video.
If you did not get this kit, I hope you can apply these ideas to products you already own. OR…become an active subscriber and get in on the refill kit. The refill kit doesn’t contain the ink and stamp images. But you will at least gain the main pieces and can hopefully replace most of the stamp images I used with some of your own.
If you are not a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, I invite you to give it a try. CLICK HERE to learn more. CLICK HERE to sign up by March 10th at noon Mountain Time for this next kit.
