Then check out all the other blogs in the hop to see additional creative alternate paper crafting project ideas that we each came up with using the contents of the February 2022 Safari Celebration Paper Pumpkin kit.

Here are the cards the kit instructs how to make. (Click here for a link to Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video to help you assemble these as intended.)

I’ve already shared some other alternate projects using the contents of this kit a few days ago, on February 21st.

• Two Diagonal Joy Fold cards
• An adorable and simple bookmark
• Two uniquely folded cards with fun vellum ideas
• Two cards featuring the Alcohol Ink Technique
• And an interactive “pull” card two other uniquely folded cards with fun vellum ideas
