(Click here for the informational flyer.) And today I thought I’d share a few other cards I made with them.
I used the new Classic Christmas Designer Paper and Curvy Dies – two of the four new products that just debuted that are only available through January 4th and are exclusive to this promotional period. I also used the Quite Curvy Stamp Set, the beautiful Plush Poinsettia flocked vellum, and the Poinsettia Dies.
This first version in Shaded Spruce and Crumb Cake was a card that I mass produced and sent to my club members.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
Crumb Cake Cardstock:
4-1/4″ x 11″ scored parallel to the short end at 5-1/2″
Whisper White Cardstock
3-3/4″ x 4″
1/2″ x 3-1/2″
Green Foil Sheets
Two pieces that are 1/2″ x 4-1/4″
Champagne Foil Sheets
Scraps for die-cutting branch and flower center pieces
Vellum Cardstock
Scrap for die-cutting branch piece
Plush Poinsettia Vellum
Die-cut poinsettia
Classic Christmas Designer Paper
7/8″ x 4-1/4″
3″ x 4-1/4″
Directions…
Die-cut the 3″ x 4-1/4″ designer paper into two with the dotted curvy edge die to get the front and inside pieces. Die-cut all the other pieces.
Punch the Whisper White strip with the Banners Pick-A-Punch. Then mask the sentiment stamp to ink up only the Just For You portion. Stamp this onto the strip.
Layer the Green Foil under the designer paper pieces. Add the flower center to the poinsettia.
Assemble the card: Add the front curvy designer paper being sure to tuck the flower and foliage before pressing everything down in place. Add the sentiment strip underneath and trim off any excess.
Add the inside designer paper pieces. Then add the Whisper White layer.
Then I played around and came up with two more color combinations. This one is the Sahara Sand and Night of Navy version.
And this one is the Cherry Cobbler and Early Espresso version.
(The directions and measurements are the same as above, but I just used different colors.)
Which color combo are you more drawn to?

#APaperPumpkinThing
Welcome to our monthly “A Paper Pumpkin Thing” blog hop! See what I have to share. 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 October 2020 Joy To the WorldPaper Pumpkin kit. To follow the hop and see other creative project ideas, simply scroll down and click on the names of other hop participants. (If you are receiving this blog post by email, click HERE to see the hop.)
Here is a photo of the intended projects from this month’s kit: eight full-size cards (four of two kinds measuring 5-7/8 x 4-1/8 or 14.9 cm x 10.47 cm) and coordinating envelopes.
I’ve already shared some other alternate projects using the contents of this kit on October 20th.
Quintuple the kit to make 40 holiday cards
And an adaption of last month’s hand sanitizer holders.
Today I am sharing two cards with you. The first is very easy to recreate and does not require much extra product outside the kit. I only added a circle punch, an X-acto knife and a surface to cut on like a self-healing mat or cardboard.
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.
Directions…
Punch a 2-1/4″ circle in the front layer of the card base.
Tie on some twine. (I wrapped the twine around twice before tying in a bow.)
Adhere one of the die-cut words from the kit.
Use the X-acto knife to cut around the petals on the inside of the center flower from the floral piece in the kit. Do the cutting on a safe surface such as a self-healing mat or cardboard. Notice I didn’t connect my cuts. Then use a bone folder to lift and curl them a bit.
Add the floral piece to the inside of the card so the cut flower is centered in the window of the card.
Stamp the inside sentiment.
The second card is a bit more challenging. But yesterday I shared tips and tricks for making this type of fun fold card during my YouTube Live Online Paper Crafting Class. Click here to see yesterday’s post and video. Or just click here to see the video.
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…
Early Espresso Cardstock
5-1/2” x 8-1/2” trimmed parallel to the long edge 1” in on each side (starting at 1” and ending at 5-1/4”) and scored parallel to the short side (as shown in the video) at 1”, 2” 4-1/4”, 5-1/4” and 6-3/8”
1” x 3” scored parallel to short side ½” in on each end
1-1/2” x 5” for the bookmark
Card base from the kit (foiled pattern) – see image below for where I made my cuts
3” x 3-1/4”
1-7/8″ x 3-1/2″ for above the “pocket”
Envelope from the kit (printed pattern) – see image below for where I made my cuts
4” x 5-1/4” (cut ¾” in on three sides to form a “C” shape)
1-7/8” x 3-3/4” folded in half for pocket (I cut this from the portion inside the “C” shape)
1-1/4” x 4-3/4” for the bookmark layer
Card base from the kit (white side)
3 x 3-1/4″ for the back side of the card
Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon
7” for the bow
10” for the bookmark
Brass banner from the kit
1″ cut from one end for under the bow
1-7/8″ length for the pocket band
the rest for the bookmark
Tips…
I recommend watching the video I shared yesterday so you can understand how it comes together.
Then cut all the pieces and remember what they are for. (I mention lots of details above in the measurements section.)
Add the stamped sentiment after folding the card into a closed position so it is 1/8″ from the right edge as shown below.
Fold the pocket and secure the Early Espresso cardstock strip using Tear & Tape Adhesive. The 1-7/8″ x 3-1/2″ brass foiled card base piece is for above the pocket after the pocket is attached.
I hope I inspired your creativity with what I shared today!

I was on Facebook browsing the other day and a post came up in my newsfeed – a fun fold card shared by fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, Teresa Brown. She shared her card in an exclusive demonstrator-only Facebook group. But I didn’t see any directions from her in the comments or post itself. So I studied the card and figured it out. And I’m calling it a bookshelf card because it holds a bookmark AND because it looks like it has a build-in bookshelf. Hahaha! 11/29/22 update…Teresa reached out to me. How fun! Here is the link to her FB Live that she posted on 10/24/20. Thanks Teresa!
I just showed live on YouTube about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating this unique card. I also showed three other versions of the card all using the Poinsettia Place Designer Paper, the Best Year Stamp Set, and some beautiful coordinating products. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post.

I quintupled the cards in the kit!…
Stampin’ Up! just mailed out the October Paper Pumpkin kit, and it contains supplies for making some beautiful brass-foil embellished holiday greeting cards: 8 cards (4 of 2 designs). I like to create alternate projects with my kits, and this time I took the supplies that come in this Joy to the World October 2020 kit….
…and I quintupled the holiday cards you can make with the kit supplies simply by adding a pack of Crumb Cake Cardstock, a pack of Whisper White envelopes, one more ink color (Cherry Cobbler), and a pack of Gold Glittered Enamel Dots. So instead of 8 cards, you can make 40 from one kit! ? I also added the extra items in the product list at the bottom of this post to the above kit contents to make a couple hand sanitizer holders – similar to last month’s holders, but I just used a card base instead of a pre-cut and scored cracker box. After seeing what I share today, you’ll be able to recreate that box using all sorts of supplies.
So here is what I am sharing with you today:
Quintuple the kit to make 40 holiday cards
And an adaption of last month’s hand sanitizer holders.

Yesterday I shared three gate fold explosion cards that I made with the Magic In This Night Suite. I mentioned that I was inspired to design them when my upline, Susan Campfield sent us the supplies to make one with pieces from the Snowflake Splendor Suite. Today I thought I’d share photos of that make-n-take card and two other cards I made using similar elements. You can refer back to yesterday’s post for a video of instructions to make a gate fold explosion card. The two other cards are put together in the same manner as the cards I shared on September 23rd.
All three cards share the same snowflake cluster and sentiment strip. For one card die-cut three snowflakes (two with Whisper White Thick Cardstock and one with Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper) using the following dies from the So Many Snowflake Dies.
Layer them together with Glue Dots. And add a Blue Adhesive-Backed Gem to the center. Then cut a strip of 3/4″ x 4-1/4″ Whisper White Thick Cardstock. Punch the end with the Banners Pick A Punch. Then stamp the sentiment from the Snowflake Wishes Stamp Set onto it with Pacific Point Ink.
Here is Susan’s gate fold explosion card.
