My January 2026 Paper Pumpkin kit came in the mail Monday night. So of course I got excited, opened it up, and started creating alternate projects with it Tuesday. Today I have for you…
- How to turn the supplies for the 3 kit cards into 9 to triple the cards you can get from the kit
- How to make some simple envelope-style treat holders.
- And a peek at my Triple Z-Fold card (I’ll show how to make this style card next week)
I didn’t have enough time to create all that I wanted to, though. So I am hoping to share a second set of projects in early February. Stay tuned.
This “Special Delivery” kit contains enough supplies to make 9 fun 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.
As you may know I ALWAYS 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. I create alternate cards, scrapbook pages, and more.
This morning 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!
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 many of the stamp images I used with some of your own.
Below are close-up photos of the alternates 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.
I created this first set of nine cards with the supplies from the three kit cards. If you copied these layouts with all your kit supplies you could triple the cards from your kit turning nine cards into 27!
Here are the easy and adorable envelope style treat containers for the Ghirardelli chocolate squares.
And here is that Triple Z-Fold card.
I hope you had fun and gained some creative inspiration!
