I just got my October 2022 Ho Ho Ho Paper Pumpkin kit, already had a ton of fun making alternate projects with it, and I’m excited to share them with you today!
This fun kit contained the supplies shown below to make nine Santa-themed Christmas cards.
But I don’t assemble my kits as intended, 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. So today I’m sharing with you…
Twelve cards that I created from the supplies of three
Yep! I’m sharing with you how you can add extra cardstock and envelopes and QUADRUPLE the number of cards you can get from this kit. So after you learn how to change up one set of supplies, you can do that with the other two sets and get 36 Christmas cards altogether!

I have a passion for challenging myself to multiply the projects one can get from one of our Stampin’ Up! crafting kits. I’ve done this with the Paper Pumpkin kits often. (In fact, tune in this Friday so you can see how I quadruple the cards in the October 2022 Ho Ho Ho kit.) But Stampin’ Up! also has another line of kits…the Kits Collection. And I had a bunch of fun with one of the newest in this line: the Christmas Gifting Kit.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for how to take the supplies in this kit, add a bit of cardstock and twine, and double the 9 tags to create 18 cards with pockets. 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 shared a simple card layout this past Monday that featured three panels of different patterns of Rustic Harvest designer paper with a maple leaf focal point in the lower right and a sentiment from the Charming Sentiments Stamp Set cut with its coordinating die from the Sentiment Silhouettes Dies.
Well…I kept going and made three more cards with a similar layout. The panel measurements are the same. And I used the same Charming Sentiments Stamp Set & coordinating dies for the sentiments. But these cards feature different designer papers and focal points.
Click here to refer back to the 10/10/22 post for measurements, directions, and a complete supply list for the Rustic Harvest card shown above. For additional products needed for making the three other cards I’m sharing today, scroll down. Then simply click on the product images so you can find these items in my online store.
Because I can’t quite let go of Summer (we woke to snow on the ground two days ago! 😳), I had to make this cheerful and colorful thank you card.
Tips…
After die-cutting the leaves from Granny Apple Green Cardstock, GENTLY slide the edge of the Granny Apple Green ink pad across the surface. By sliding the edge of the pad with very little pressure, the ink will avoid filling in the embossed veins.
Add the leaves with Dimensionals. Add the sentiment on top of the leaves with Dimensionals.
Embellish the card with the 2022-24 In Color Matte Decorative Dots.
Of course with waking to that snow, this next card is very fitting for this time of year in the northern hemisphere. Plus it uses more of that fun Storybook Gnomes paper that I used to make the Peeking Tree Gnomes cards from this past Wednesday’s Live.
Tips…
Die-cut the mushroom is from the Storybook Gnomes designer paper.
Add the mushroom with Dimensionals. Add the sentiment on top of the mushroom with Dimensionals (double-stacked under the word, “hey”).
Add the snowflake with a Dimensional. Add the sentiment with Dimensionals that have been cut in half.
Embellish the card with the Iridescent Pearls.
Do you have a favorite? I’d love to see YOUR take on this layout. Share your card in my Facebook Group and be sure to tag me in your post so I see it.

Are you a fan of gnomes? They seem to be quite popular in décor and crafting nowadays. And Stampin’ Up!® is in on the trend as well with their Storybook Gnomes Designer Paper which is one of the stars of today’s cards.
I saw a fun idea with these gnomes and the Tree Rings Hybrid products shared by fellow demonstrator, Terri Gaines and decided I needed to use it and put my twist on it. (Thanks Terri for the inspiration for today’s cards!)
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for how I paired up the gnomes in this paper with the Kindest Gnomes Stamp Set, the Gnomes Dies, the Tree Rings Embossing Folder & Dies, and the Ringed with Nature Stamp Set to get some adorable seasonal “peeking tree gnomes” cards. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post.

Here are some quick cards I made with a few designs from this paper. It’s a super easy layout that allows the paper pattern to be seen when the card is open and closed.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements
Base cardstock
4-1/4” x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to short side at 5-1/2”
Celebrate Everything Designer Paper
2” x 4”
Inside layer cardstock
4” x 5-1/4”
Basic White Cardstock
Scrap for stamping and punching sentiment
Sentiment layer cardstock
Scrap for punching sentiment layer
Silver Metallic Mesh Ribbon (for Halloween card)
15”
Directions
Fold the base layer and emboss the front flap if you wish.
Add the inside layer and designer paper without adhering yet. Using this set up as a guide & stamp the inside sentiment. If you are happy with the way it looks, secure the layers in place with adhesive. If you stamped your sentiment crooked, rotate the inside layer and stamp again. You still have more chances if you mess up, because you can also flip this layer over and even rotate it if need be.
Stamp the sentiment. Punch it and connect it onto its coordinating sentiment layer. Then add it to the edge of the front flap with Dimensionals. Be careful not to place the Dimensionals where they will be exposed underneath.
Then add the finishing touches with embellishments or ribbons.
Remember…you would need a $150+ order to be able to choose this Celebrate Everything Designer Paper with your Stampin’ Rewards. But with the sale going on tomorrow (see below), it may make the idea even more enticing. (This paper pack has a fabulous value too!…Normally a pack of 12 sheets like this would be $12. But you can redeem this pack of 48 sheets by using only $18 of your Stampin’ Rewards – a huge savings!)

I personally was unable to take part, so I’ll be watching this today (I hope!).
We had a fun filled Friday-Sunday here at our place. Family visited to see our newly remodeled rooms, celebrate birthdays, and enjoy our kids’ busy weekend events – Homecoming for Luke and a marching band competition for Nick, Nick’s girlfriend Jaylene, and cousin Robbie!
Here are Nick, Jaylene and Luke enjoying the new couch that was delivered Friday afternoon. (Yippee! It came a month earlier than originally forecasted.)
Robbie (at the far end of the table) just turned 16 and Nick just turned 17. So my sister and I pulled our resources and skills together and gave them a Blues Clues party. They LOVED that show when they were little! And we couldn’t resist bringing everyone back to that time.
Here are Jaylene, Nick and Rob drawing in their “handy dandy notebooks.”
We also had Blues Clues cakes to eat…
and coloring sheets. Micala, my brother Bob’s wife colored 3 full sheets during the party! We were all very impressed.
Here are their adorable girls, cousins to my boys hanging out and eating at our new island. This was the first time the girls saw the changes to our house. In fact this was the first time MANY of our relatives saw the changes. We’ve been remodeling since January. I think the last time we had my side over was Christmas. (And the last time my husband’s side of the family were here – they live further away than my siblings – was a few years ago.)
Because the couch was just delivered that day, we ate at the counter or out on the deck. I’m on the left with my husband Tim. My mom Margo, sister Renee, dad Bob, and brother-in-law Don are also around the table. And we were grateful the weather was nice.
The next day Nick, Jaylene and Rob were busy with marching band competition practice and performance preparation. So although Tim’s mom Edie, sisters Kelly and Terri, and brother-in-law Jim came to visit, they never really got to visit with Nick and wish him a happy birthday in person.
Here we are (my dad and mom, Edie and Kelly) enjoying a late lunch/early dinner before taking off to watch the marching band competition/show.
Here we are (myself, Renee, Jim, Kelly, Edie, Terri and Tim along with my mom and dad on my right side) at the Champlin Park HS stadium excited to see Nick and Jaylene (on quad drums) and Robbie (on bass drum) perform/compete with their team, the Anoka HS Marching Tornados.
And I’m so excited to tell you that out of seven Class A high schools in this competition, Anoka got first place!!!
This weekend overlapped with Luke’s high school Homecoming events. He skipped out on attending his school’s football game Friday night so he could be with us for the Blues Clues birthday party. But he didn’t attend the marching band competition and hung out with his friends at the Homecoming Dance instead. Everyone had a great time. And we so enjoyed hosting in our new spacious main level.
