October 2025 Cozy Christmas Alternates Set 1

My October 2025 Cozy Christmas Paper Pumpkin kit arrived on Thursday, the 16th. This was super early for me! So you can imagine how excited I was.

This kit contains enough supplies to make 9 Christmas cards (3 of 3 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 enjoy thinking outside the box to see what else I can come up with, and then create alternate cards, scrapbook pages, and more. So today I have several different card ideas for you.

On Saturday I demonstrated these ideas during my Live Online Paper Crafting Class on YouTube. Maybe you tuned in? Watch my video here 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.) And the products that I’ve shared or mentioned are shown/listed below and are currently linked to my online store.

All of these eight cards were made with the supplies of 1/3 of the kit (three envelopes and the three different kit cards). So technically you could more than double the number of cards from your whole kit (turn 9 cards into 24!) if you made these with ALL the supplies in the kit.

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 (which typically becomes available after the 20th). 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.

Oh! I also shared two other card ideas in my video. These were made using last month’s Fall for Toile kit.

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 November 10th for this next kit.
