My October Paper Pumpkin kit arrived, and I just designed my first set of alternate projects using the contents of this beautiful kit and a bit of other coordinating product! I’ll share most of them today. But one of them I’m keeping exclusive to contribute to the collection of exclusives my new 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 ten fun fold cards – five each of two different kinds. Do you want to make the cards 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 how you can triple the cards from your kit by creating six cards with the supplies from two. I’m also sharing a shaker card and a couple book treat boxes.
Watch my videohere 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.)

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 watched my Online Paper Crafting Class this week, you saw me put together Double Pocket Cards with the Pocket Thoughts Dies, the Season of Elegance Specialty Paper, and the Peaceful Seasons Stamps & Dies.** I also shared in that instructional video peeks at some hand-crafted gifts I received from two recent events. Today I’m sharing photos of those event gifts AND photos and simple instructions for the gifts I put together and passed out at the second event.
**Products that I’m listing in this post are shown below and are currently linked to my online store.
My upline, Susan Campfield hosted a Leader event at her home in late September. Due to last minute transportation changes at our house, I couldn’t make it. So the next day she drove over and dropped off all my gifts and goodies.
Besides a beautiful pot of flowers, she gave me a pretty clipboard with a notebook and pen, a pair of warm slippers, and the flatware I would’ve used at the event within a cute holder she made with the Pocket Thoughts Dies, Season of Elegance Paper, and Autumn Expressions Stamps & Dies.
She also gifted me a pack of Gold Foil, a pack of that Season of Elegance Designer Paper, a bottle of Multipurpose Liquid Glue, a pack of Iridescent Foil Gems, a pack of 3×3 Flip Flaps, my own set of Pocket Thoughts Dies (I didn’t have these yet!), and all the consumables I would need for the three make-n-take projects that were created at the event.
Here is how those three projects came together.
The cocoa holder is similar to the flatware holder: two of the largest pocket dies are connected like a thin box. The card has the medium pocket die on the front that holds a gift card. The gift card pulls out because the bow is attached to a paper hook.
And the reindeer bag is made with two of the smallest pockets connected to a 1″ wide strip. Below are the back sides of the containers and the inside of the card.
Then last weekend (well…actually last Wednesday through Sunday) I attended a crafting retreat in Little Falls, Minnesota with some of my friends who are also fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrators. I didn’t do any scrapbooking like I had originally intended to, but I got a lot of other things accomplished.
We did a gift exchange, too! Here are all the creative gifts and gift packaging I went home with!
Cheryl Lee gave the cute little candy box with the melting snowman image. Teri Zupancich gave a spiral notebook and an autumn pillow box with candy (both fancied up with autumn leaves), and some Zup’s Seasoning from her family’s store in Ely, MN. Mary Marohl gave me a covered clipboard with a notepad and pen. Kayla Cory & Nancy Forsberg gave the green DSP bag of candy and the Halloween book box with Glue Dots inside. They also gave me the candle in the coordinating decorated box (a gift they were going to give me at Susan’s event). Vicki Spicer gave the 3D printed green take out box character, the light green post it holder with stencil, the sticky note tape rolls and dispenser, and an anti static powder tool. And Marciene Ingram gave the baby Frankenstein treat holder with candy and the easel sticky note holder with birds and a calendar.
I created wrapped labels (with “love notes”) with the Christmas Labels Stamps and Dies and gave out pairs of warm socks to everyone. I wrapped 9 pairs and let everyone choose the socks they wanted.
I used the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper in either copper, gold, or tungsten for the main label layer and band. Then I paired this metallic color with the socks and added a coordinating color of cardstock underneath for the band and the hidden note.
For the bling I used embellishments from the Faceted Gems Trio Pack. I colored some with Blends Markers for more coordination.
Here is another set of photos of these same socks so you can see which ones I decorated with the same metallic foil.
Looking at them this way, you can get a better peek at the details. The scrolls on the sides of the bands come from what gets cut out of the label when die-cutting.
As you can see from the notes, I hadn’t been on a retreat with these gals for some time… since March of 2020! COVID hit that exact weekend (I remember calling my husband to tell him to pick up canned foods and toilet paper), and then weekends in the following years were very busy with both my two boys in high school and all their activities.
I hope you enjoyed all these creative ideas. Thanks for stopping by to see what I had to share today.

Welcome to our monthly APPT blog hop to showcase our September 2024Autumn AbundancePaper Pumpkin kit alternate projects! See what I have to share. Then check out all the other blogs in the hop for additional creative ideas that my fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrator friends shared.*
For those of you not familiar with these kits, they get delivered straight to your mailbox in the months of your choice. Inside are all the supplies you need AND the directions for assembling the kit cards/projects designed. Here are the intended cards designed for this September 2024 kit. (Click here for 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 on September 21st.
Four unique alternate card ideas including
a z-fold thinking of you card
a fall leaves matchbook fold card
a fall leaf pocket card
and a snail and mushroom pocket card
AND… a thankful 12×12 scrapbook page layout
Today I am sharing…
A wine bottle tag
A card with a removable corner bookmark
A layered wreath card
AND… three Halloween wrapped treats
Products I used… See below for a complete list of extra products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
The wine bottle tag is something that instantly came to mind when I saw the kit card base with the cut out circle in the center. This is the end that goes over the top of the bottle. I cut 2″ off the opposite side with my Trimmer and then reconnected them with the Cajun Craze square piece to not only make the tag longer & more rectangular, but to create a dark solid center for the sentiment focal point.
The sentiment is added with Dimensionals. I tucked in ephemera leaves from the kit, added with a Glue Dot a bow of Night of Navy & Gold Glittered Ribbon (9″ cut along the outside edges to get two long thin strands), and embellished with a couple Copper Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins.
This next idea was inspired by a card I received from friend and fellow demonstrator, Candace Johnson. She sent me a card this summer with a removable corner bookmark. And here is my version I made with this kit.
On the inside you can see the slit. I wrote lightly in pencil to show what the slit was holding. I wanted the tree slice image on both the outside and inside of the card. So I cut 3-1/2″ off the one side, cut that down to 4-3/4″ high, adhered it to the middle of a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ piece of Early Espresso cardstock after adding the copper heat embossed sentiment, and then wrapped that extra 3/4″ from the full card around to the back side of the Early Espresso layer to connect and form the full card. I added the slit for the bookmark 3″ down from the top and 1/2″ in from each side.
I made the bookmark from a 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ corner that I cut from the kit envelope with the Cajun Craze lining. From that same lining, I cut a 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ square and adhered that to the front. After stamping the branch image, I added on the leaf ephemera (using Multipurpose Liquid Glue) and the sequins.
My next idea is a card with a wreath. I discovered that putting two of those semi-circle ephemera together made a pretty wreath. To make it prettier, I simply added the leaves, the Cajun Craze strip and a sentiment
This image below just shows how I got the Pecan Pie layer, the Cajun Craze torn edge, and (both flipped over) the inside rectangular layer and leaf patterned curved accent on the bottom front.
Many who may be missing Halloween treat ideas from this year’s kit might appreciate these next three ideas…all candy wraps. The first one is super simple. I took half of the leaf card base and wrapped it around a pack of Sweet Tarts Ropes candy that I had first made super narrow and short by taping the sides and ends in. I secured the wrapped card base by stapling it shut. Then I added the stamped sentiment circle with Dimensionals.
This second one is my favorite. I first cut open the Night of Navy lined envelope and tore it as shown to create a fun edge. I cut out an Early Espresso “Hooray” using the die from the Every Celebration Dies set.
Then I cut the “Hooray” into these pieces…
…and positioned the pieces differently to form the word “boo.”
Here is the end result wrapped around a Hersey bar. The mouth on the ghost is from the H in the die-cut Hooray.
Here is the third wrapped treat idea. For this one I used the smaller envelope lining and wrapped it around a Kit-Kat bar. I added triangular white cardstock from the kit scraps and added them to the ends of the blue leaves to make them look like monster fingers (with fingernails) wrapping around from the back side of the bar. Spooky, right!? Hahaha! I’m thinking a couple eyes peeking over the top of the corner would make it more fun, but I ran out of time and had to get this all posted in time for the blog hop.
OH! Here is an image of the back sides of these last four projects.
I hope I inspired your creativity with what I shared today! If you did not get this kit, I hope you can apply these ideas to products you already own.

Since three of the nine gold rings in the kit are small enough to stay up towards the neck of a bottle, you can make three wine bottle tags and still have supplies left for more projects. (I’ll share my other ideas soon.)
All you need to do is create three of the larger ornaments per the kit directions (or with a slightly different combination like I did). Then tie the gold cords extending from each of them to the smaller gold rings.
Write messages on the back sides. Then slide them down over the tops of the beverages you are gifting. You are all set to give a beautiful yet simple-to-put-together gift.

Here are a couple more Drawer Boxes that I created with the Humble Home Bundle. This time my boxes feature the beautiful new Regal Winter Designer Paper.
For a complete list of products I used to make these, scroll down to get to my Products list. Each product is linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Here are the basic measurements…
Blackberry Bliss or Night of Navy Cardstock
2-7/8″ x 11″ scored at 3/4″, 3-5/8″, 7-1/4″ and 8-1/16″
4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ scored on all four sides just under 3/4″
Scrap for punching small heart
Pretty In Pink or Boho Blue Cardstock

Here is a close-up of the Blackberry Bliss & Pretty In Pink box. I used full Pretty In Pink ink to stamp the large heart on the white house. This punched house is layered onto a punched Pretty In Pink house and then added to the top of the box with Dimensionals. A small Blackberry Bliss heart is glued onto the center of the stamped heart. And I added a Blackberry Bliss Regal Foiled Dot.
And here is a close-up of the Night of Navy & Boho Blue box. I used stamped off Boho Blue ink for the large heart on the white house (notice the house is flipped the other direction this time?). This punched house is layered onto a punched Boho Blue house and then added to the top of the box with Dimensionals. The small heart in the middle is Night of Navy with a Night of Navy Regal Foiled Dot.

Several new products have been made available today from the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog (AND the September 2024 Scrapbooking Brochure & Kits Collection)!
