I have to say I think the June 2025 Sweeter With You Paper Pumpkin kit is one of my absolute favorites! I suppose it helps that I’m a huge fan of berries. I love their taste AND I love how healthy they are! I came home on Friday evening and my kits (yes, I get more than one) were there waiting for me. Thankfully I had some time on Monday and Tuesday to create with the contents to come up with my first set of alternate project ideas so I could share them with you today.

This July 2025 Sweeter With You kit has enough supplies to make 8 cards (2 of 4 kinds). Did you get the kit and want to make them as intended? Click here for a link to Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video.

I love to show kit subscribers 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 4 different card ideas for you (two of them are fun folds) and lots of tips and tricks. 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!

BTW…YouTube cut me off before I was done sharing. So there were two cards I didn’t quite finish that I will share when I post again on August 8th. AND I was unable to announce the FREE SHIPPING promotion going on today. So I hope you will scroll down to read the details so you can take advantage of that great deal going on today through Friday.

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.

“Inside Out” Strawberry Edge Card

Sweeter With You Museum Gallery Fold Card
Visit my 7/19/25 blog post for details on putting together this type of card.

Here are a couple photos I took during the assembly of this card that you might find helpful.

Another Sweeter With You Fun Fold Card

I’ll be sharing my other version of this on August 8th, because there is a technique that got cut out of today’s video that is a part of that card.

Chocolate Dipped Strawberries Card

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.
