I have my March 2026 Paper Pumpkin kit here! And I’ve had so much fun creating with it. This Fluttering Garden kit contains enough supplies to make 9 beautiful cards – 3 of 3 kinds. (Did you get the kit and want to make them as intended …as shown below? Click here for a link to Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video.)
Yesterday I had some time, opened the kit up, and started creating alternate projects. It was hard to stop. I love all the imagery and the colors in this kit. Today I have for you…
- A tiny Tic Tac holder.
- An easel card.
- A silhouette & tearing technique card
- and six cards made from the supplies of three kit cards.
And as always…I didn’t have enough time to create all that I wanted to. So I am hoping to share more in early April. Stay tuned.
My live Online Paper Crafting Class connected to this post goes live at 7 PM Central Time. If you are opening this post right away, I invite you to tune into the Live. If not, you can still watch the recording at this same link… 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 more alternate projects that I’ll be sharing in future posts!
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video and gained some creative inspiration!
If you did not get this kit, I hope you can apply these ideas to products you already own. I also encourage you to become an active subscriber and get in on the refill kit (which typically becomes available after the 20th of each month). 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 I shared in the video. (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.
Tiny Tic Tac Holder
A big thanks to Michelle Carlson this idea. (Michelle gave me a version of this as a gift at Stampin’ Up!’s recent OnStage convention.)
Mother’s Day Easel Card
Silhouette & Tearing Technique Card
Moving the supplies around to “Double the Cards in the Kit”
I turned the supplies for the 3 kit cards into 6. Doing this with all the cards from your kit will give you 18 cards!!
I hope you had fun and gained some creative inspiration!
