October 2025 Cozy Christmas Alternates Set 2

I’m excited because today I have six more alternate projects to share with you…ones I’ve created with the October 2025 Cozy Christmas Paper Pumpkin: 3 boxes and 3 cards!

Be sure to watch my instructional video by clicking here* for measurements, tips and directions (or you can just click on this image below if you are already here in my blog post and can view it), scroll through the photos that follow, check out the products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.

*My video goes live at 7 PM Central Time. So if you click the link early, you’ll have to wait. But this gives you the chance to join me during the Live Stream if you are able.

*Edited to add: Forgive me for giving the wrong instructions for the box base the first two times. UGH! (slapping my forehead) Just know that after cutting the 3/4″ off the one side (first step), next (and this is what I should’ve said…) add a 1″ score line in from that same edge. Scoot the paper over through the trimmer…you’ll have that score mark at 3-1/2″. Scoot the paper over more… Then score again 1″ beyond that at 4-1/2″.

I hope you enjoyed what I shared and gained some creative inspiration! Below are close-up photos of the alternate projects I created. (Remember to watch my video first to get measurements, tips and directions.) The products that I’ve shared or mentioned are shown/listed below and are currently linked to my online store.

A big thank you to those that shared other projects that influenced my creativity today: Vy Tran, Laura Seki, Lisa Marshall, Rose Kerry, and Sam Hammond.

I hope you had fun and gained some creative inspiration!

(I shared my first set of alternates on October 19th soon after the kit arrived in my mailbox. And I shared my 2-page layout (I make scrapbook pages with each kit!) as my exclusive project contribution to the Oct. 2025 Paper Pumpkin Creatives Tutorial Bundle.)

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 (typically available after the 20th but only available while supplies last). 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. I also sell my extra full kits HERE on my website after I’ve created all my projects.

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.
