Dec 2024 Notes From The Heart Alternates Set 1

My December Paper Pumpkin kit arrived Wednesday afternoon, and I designed my first set of alternate projects yesterday using the contents of this card kit and a bit of other coordinating product! I’ll share three ideas today. I’ll share more on January 10th for the “A Paper Pumpkin Thing.” And one more idea I’m keeping exclusive to contribute to the collection of exclusives my Paper Pumpkin Creatives Team is currently compiling…projects we will share just with our personal Paper Pumpkin subscribers and team members (more details below).

Here are the consumable supplies (minus the stamp set and ink) that come with this kit.

This kit has enough supplies to make 9 beautiful cards (3 of 3 kinds). Do you want to make them as intended? Click here for a link to Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video.

But I never assemble my kits as is, because I like to show kit recipients other ways to use their supplies. I like to think outside the box, see what else I can come up with, and create alternate cards, scrapbook pages, and more. So today I’m sharing with you three fun fold cards.

Watch my video here to get 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 be sure 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 projects I made and shared in my video. (Remember to watch my video first to get measurements, tips and directions.)

**Products that I’ve shared or mentioned are shown/listed below and are currently linked to my online store.

Bend Open Pocket Card

(This is the one I demonstrated in the live video.)

Split Window Card

(This is the one I demonstrated in the live video. I ended up trimming both sides to equal out the look and “correct” my mistake.)

Square Column Fold Card

(This is the one I demonstrated in the live video for those who don’t own a die-cutting and embossing machine.)

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. (The refill typically shows up in the online store soon after the 20th.) It 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.

If you are not a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, I invite you to give it a try. CLICK HERE to learn more. CLICK HERE to sign up by January 10th for this next kit.
