Today is the last day to sign up (or have an active subscription) for Paper Pumpkin so you get in on the next kit titled Haunts & Harvest (see below for more info). So I thought I’d share one more card that I put together with the kit card base that originally challenged me. It was a tough one to change up, because the design was very specific and made to pair up with the large colorful die-cut piece.
But here is what I did. And I’m quite happy with it. It’s simple and uses very few extra supplies.
Extra 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.
Measurements for extra pieces…
Calypso Coral Cardstock
3/4″ x 3-1/4″ (for left banner)
3/4″ x 3-3/4″ (for right banner)
Directions…
Stamp the large and small butterflies overtop the the purple-pink “shadow” areas. These shadows are butterfly shaped already, so they will fit pretty well inside the stamped image outlines.
Punch one end of each Calypso Coral strip. Then stamp sentiments from the kit stamp set (or from other stamps you have on hand) onto these strips. I used sentiments from A Grand Kid Stamp Set.
Add a sequin to each sentiment strip opposite from the punched ends if you have room.
Attach these to the card front with Dimensionals as shown and trim off any overhanging ends.
Then stamp the small butterfly on the inside to finish off the card.
I made six of these from my two kits so that I could send five of them out with some product to a few of my lucky August 2021 Paper Pumpkin subscribers.
Looking for more ideas? Be sure to check out my other fun alternate projects that I shared on August 21st and on September 2nd. I hope I inspired your creativity with what I shared today! If you did not get the full kit, maybe you can get your hands on the refill kit (in the products list below) while supplies last.

And if your subscription is through me, you’ll be able to enjoy exclusive ideas shared in video tutorials from myself and 5 other creative Stampin’ Up! demonstrators on the PPX Crew.

The July-December 2021 Mini Catalog is full of many holiday-themed stamp sets. So if you are looking for that, this catalog has plenty to offer. But it also includes a handful of sets that are more diverse or what I consider “all-occasion” and are great for covering some basic card-maker’s needs like birthday, thank you, and congrats. I’m featuring one of them today and pairing it with one of my favorite new border punches from the 2021-22 Annual Catalog to make a winter version and a summer version of the same type of card.
I just showed live on YouTube about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating this card using this Welcoming Woods Stamp Set, the Evergreen Border Punch, and some fun metallic papers. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.

Welcome to our All Star Tutorial monthly blog hop for the Hand-Penned Suite!
Be ready to be immersed in this fantastic suite with all that we have to share. In addition to the suite products, you’ll also notice now that there is an addition pack of beautiful black & white designer paper now out there called Beautifully Penned. This paper coordinates well with this suite and is free with a qualifying order (in the US that amount is $50 not including shipping and tax). I didn’t use that paper in the card I’m sharing today, but I did in my exclusive tutorial project (see below for details on how you can get that tutorial bundle).
A few hours ago I shared live on YouTube step-by-step directions for how to make a Double Slider Card using the Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set, the Penned Flowers Dies, the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper, the Gold Metallic Specialty Paper, and the new Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots. It looks like a complicated card, but it’s done with a super simple mechanism – a loop of thin plastic! And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video (and the peek of the Beautifully Penned Designer Paper!). Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for what I demonstrated. (Please subscribe to my YouTube channel so you can get updates when I share and go live).

On July 7th I shared how to make a Four-Panel Pinwheel Tower card. It’s a super popular fun fold card right now – perfect for showing off beautiful designer paper patterns. Well, there is another version of this card that you can also make that has SIX panels. And because Stampin’ Up!’s Designer Paper Sale is coming to an end soon, I thought I’d show you a Six-Panel Pinwheel Tower card today that shows off one of these designer paper pack and an additional Four-Panel Pinwheel Tower card featuring another pack.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Here is the one with six panels. As long as you watch my how-to video in my July 7th post and then prepare the materials according to the measurements below, you should have no problem adapting and assembling this six-panel version.
Measurements for the 6-Panel…
Misty Moonlight Cardstock
Six pieces… 2-3/8” x 4-1/4”
Basic White Cardstock
Six pieces… 1-3/8” x 4”
Sweet Symmetry Designer Paper (tower design)
4-1/4” x 5” scored parallel to the short side at 3/4″, 1-1/2″, 2-1/4″, 3″, 3-3/4″ and 4-1/2″
Sweet Symmetry Designer Paper (design #1)
Three pieces… 2-1/8” x 4”
Sweet Symmetry Designer Paper (design #2)
Three pieces… 2-1/8” x 4”
Tips…
Stamp the white cardstock BEFORE adhering it to the card.
Punch extra leaves from the leftover sections of the gold foil ephemera pack sheets.
Add the ephemera pack gold foil leaves and punched leaves with Glue Dots and by tucking them into the creases.
This card when folded flat fits into a medium size A2 envelope. Here is what you see in each section.
Cute, huh?
Here is the one with four panels that actually was my A4 (metric version) that I had shared unfinished in my how-to video in my July 7th post. So I’m sharing the metric measurements below. But feel free to refer back to my July 7th post if you want to adapt those measurements to inches and US letter size cardstock.
Measurements for the 4-Panel…
Basic White Cardstock
Two pieces… 7.4 cm x 10.5 cm
Scraps for punching four Everyday Label pieces
Scraps for stamping and die-cutting peaches and leaves
Balmy Blue Cardstock
Two pieces… 7.4 cm x 10.5 cm
You’re a Peach Designer Paper (design #1)
Two pieces… 4.3 cm x 9.9 cm
You’re a Peach Designer Paper (design #2)
Two pieces… 4.3 cm x 9.9 cm
You’re a Peach Designer Paper (tower design)
5 cm x 11 cm scored parallel to the short side at 2.5 cm, 5 cm, 7.5 cm & 10 cm
You’re a Peach Designer Paper (design #3)
Two pieces… 6.8 cm x 9.9 cm
You’re a Peach Designer Paper (design #4)
Two pieces… 6.8 cm x 9.9 cm
Tips…
To get the multi-colored peaches, ink the stamp in Pale Papaya first. Then use Sponge Daubers directly to the stamp image to add Mango Melody and Calypso Coral inks.
The stamped peaches are added with Dimensionals. The leaves are added with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
When adding the rhinestones, keep them as far left as you can to decrease the amount of bulk. Do not add them towards the center where most of the paper and cardstock layers come together.
Here is what you see in each section of this peach card. (FYI, the supplies below do not include A4 cardstock and coordinating envelopes to go with these metric measurements since we don’t carry that in the US.)
It’s on sale! But only through August 2

I’m ready to share with you my first set of alternate projects that I made with the July 2021 “The Adventure Begins” Paper Pumpkin monthly subscription kit.
This amazing kit contained the supplies shown below to make twelve fun-fold, outdoor adventure-themed cards.
The cards the kit instructs you how to make are fantastic. But I never assemble my kits as is, because I like to show subscribers other ways to use those supplies. I like to think outside the box…see what else I can come up with, and create alternate cards, scrapbook pages and more.
Today I’m sharing with you…
How you can turn 12 cards into FORTY (more than tripling the cards in the kit)!
And my “You Shine” 12×12 scrapbook page layout.

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 on July 5th and again on July 9th or 10th.
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.)

How you can turn 12 cards into FORTY (more than tripling the cards in the kit)!
After the video ended, I added a couple fireflies to these…
And my “You Shine” 12×12 scrapbook page layout.
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.
