Jan 2026 Special Delivery Alternates Projects 2

I have my second set of alternate projects from the January 2026 Special Delivery Paper Pumpkin kit ready to share. And oh my goodness! I’m excited about every one of them! If you missed my first set, visit my 1/21/26 post by clicking here. For today’s post I’ll share…

• How to make a new fun fold that I’m calling the Love Fold.
• How to easily alter the flowers and make a card with vellum base.
• How to use the kit contents to make a fun monster easel card.
• What my thought process was as I built my 12×12 scrapbook page.
• And how to turn the kit contents into a popular breakfast food which becomes the star of my fourth card! 🍳

Because I wanted to share detailed directions for each project and not rush through them as I would have to in a Live broadcast, I pre-recorded my video. 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.

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.

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.

The Love Fold Card

I came up with this fold because I was inspired by Susan Campfield’s Collapsible Column Fold Card. Thanks Susan!

Here you can see the XO shape…hence the name “Love Fold.” Or I suppose “Hugs & Kisses Fold” would work too. 😁

Pretty Floral Cards with Vellum Bases

Fun Special Delivery Kit Monster Easel Card

This kit just had all the right pieces to convert into monster parts…teeth, tongue, nose, eyes, and hair. It would be fun for anyone who loves a bit of humur.

Letters of Love 12×12 Scrapbook Page

This page is definitely playing on the theme of the kit. And remember (from the video) I’ll be able to add FOUR MORE PHOTOS with the use of those Flip Flaps!

Boiled Egg Card

This is probably my favorite because it is SOOOOooo far from the theme and look of the January kit. The fork is a little putzy to make, but so worth it as it really gives the egg a more realistic look. And as I said in the video, you could probably leave the embellishments off, but I couldn’t resist.

I hope you had fun and gained some creative inspiration!
