Ta-da! Thanks for your patience. It’s been over a week since I’ve posted. But I’m finding creative time again and today I have for you my first set of June 2025 Paper Pumpkin alternate project ideas! Yay!!
This June 2025 Full of Charm kit has enough supplies to make 9 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 have 14 different card ideas for you: two fun folds, two red, white & blue cards, a technique card, and 9 that I made from the supplies of 3 kit cards to show how you can triple the cards in your kit. Earlier today I demonstrated these ideas during my Live Online Paper Crafting Class on YouTube. Maybe you tuned in?
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.
Oh! And here is a close up sharing those stamped leaves from the beginning of the video. From left to right…stamp inked with a blending brush, stamp inked with a dauber, and stamp inked directly into a juicy ink pad. Play around to see what works for you and your ink pads so that you can really bring out the details in your Distinktive stamp imagery.
Stenciled Technique Card
Z-Fold Card (inspired by cards shared in the Paper Pumpkin Fan Club by Arlene Dolegiewitz and Laura Seki)
RW&B Cards (for those that celebrate the 4th of July Holiday in the US)
Landscape Diamond Display Card
Nine Cards from Three Kit Cards (and MANY variations)
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 about Paper Pumpkin kits of creativity. CLICK HERE to sign up by July 10th for this next kit.
