#APaperPumpkinThing Welcome to our monthly APPT blog hop to showcase Paper Pumpkin kit alternate projects! This time we are highlighting the Oct 2023 Home For The Holidays Paper Pumpkin kit. See what I have to share. Then check out all the other blogs in the hop for additional creative ideas my fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrator friends shared. To follow the hop and see these other creative project ideas, simply scroll down and click on the names of the other hop participants. (If you are receiving this blog post by email, click HERE to see the hop.)
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 on Oct 27.
Three fun-fold cards – one vertical bridge-fold and two freestanding pop-up cards
And two versions of a vertical Post-It® Note holder.
Today I am sharing how I turned the two different kit cards into eight. Doing this with all the supplies would produce 32 cards total quadrupling the cards you can get from the kit.
This photo above and the measurements below only pertain to changing two kit cards into eight though. So if you have a full kit left (or a full refill kit), then you would just need to multiply these measurements by four.
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 changing two kit cards into eight…
Night of Navy Cardstock
(2) 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to the short side at 4-1/4″
(6) 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored parallel to the short side at 5-1/2″
Kit Envelopes
(2) flaps only cut to 4-1/4″ wide
(2) 4″ x 5-1/4″ white layers
(2) 3-1/4″ x 4-1/2″ white layers
Portrait Kit Card
(4) white: 1-1/16″ x 2-3/4″
(1) white: 2-3/4″ x 4-1/4″
Scene: 3″ x 4-1/4″
White ground: 2-1/2″ x 4-1/4″
Landscape Kit Card
(2) light blue: 1-1/16″ x 2-3/4″
(2) white: 2-3/4″ x 4-1/4″
Scene: 3-3/16″ x 5-1/2″
Here is how the above pieces (and some ribbon) come together to make all eight cards.
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.

Did you get your hands on the October 2023 Home For The Holidays Paper Pumpkin kit? I did, and I had a very fun time putting together alternate projects. I have my first set of projects to share with you today.
This festive kit contained the supplies shown below to make eight Christmas/holiday-themed cards (four of 2 styles).
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. So today I’m sharing with you…
Three fun-fold cards – one vertical bridge-fold and two freestanding pop-up cards
And two versions of a vertical Post-It® Note holder.
Watch my video first by clicking here 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 have many more alternate projects that I’ll be sharing on November 3.Â
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.)
And here 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.)

I just LOVE the Textured Floral Stamps & Dies! In fact, I’ve teamed up with Canadian Stampin’ Up! demonstrator Alanna Wharf (Sleepless Stamper) and created a class-to-go with this bundle of products. So today I thought I’d share how to make a card using many of the same products that we’ll be using in that class.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating that card with the Textured Floral Stamp Set & Dies, Hello Irresistible Designer Paper, new glimmer paper debuting November 7th, Blending Brushes, and other coordinating Stampin’ Up!® product. 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.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Click here to access and download a printable “measurements & supplies” sheet.

For this one I used Pool Party, Flirty Flamingo, Pretty Peacock, and (on the inside…) Lost Lagoon Cardstock. I stamped the flowers in VersaMark ink onto Pretty Peacock Cardstock, added white embossing powder, and heat embossed. Iridescent White Ribbon takes the place of the glimmer paper. And it also provides the threads that are looped behind the flowers. The sentiment is stamped in Pretty Peacock ink.

I love creating multi-layered cards…I love creating fun fold and interactive cards…I love creating cards that show off artsy techniques. But I also love putting together easy cards when I need quick turnaround. Our Memories & More Card Packs and coordinating cards & envelopes are great products for producing these types of cards.
The stamped sentiments come from the coordinating Beautiful Balloons Stamp Set and Blueberry Bushel & Pretty Peacock Ink Pads. And the accent stickers come from the card pack.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Most of the 20 base cards from the coordinating Bright & Beautiful Memories & More cards & envelopes are folded so the color appears on the inside. I guess I wanted the layers on the fronts of my cards to be the focus. And I loved the idea of a bit of color inside.
Below are the 2 sets of 10 different designs and the tips for each. Let me know if you have any questions.
Card Layout #1
Cut two 3/4″ x 3/4″ squares of Granny Apple Green or Silver Foil diagonally to get the four triangles for the corners.
Add one embellishment on the “i” in Birthday.
Add the front layer up on Dimensionals.
Card Layout #2
Cut two 3/4″ x 3/4″ squares of Melon Mambo or Mirrored Charcoal Foil diagonally to get the four triangles for the corners.
Add six embellishments on the randomly on the front.
Add the front layer up on Dimensionals.
Card Layout #3
Cut two 3/4″ x 3/4″ squares of Melon Mambo or Mirrored Charcoal Foil diagonally to get the four triangles for the corners.
Add one embellishment on the “i” in times.
Add the front layer up on Dimensionals.
Card Layout #4
Add a 3-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ layer of Granny Apple Green or Silver Foil under the main layer.
Add the front layer up on Dimensionals.
Add 3 embellishments.
Stamp the inside sentiment.
Card Layout #5
Add a 3-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ layer of Granny Apple Green or Silver Foil under the main layer.
Add the front layer up on Dimensionals.
Add 3 embellishments.
Stamp a string hanging from the inside balloon.
Card Layout #6
Add a 3-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ layer of Melon Mambo or Mirrored Charcoal Foil under the main layer.
Add the front layer up on Dimensionals.
Add 5 embellishments on the front and 4 on the inside.
Card Layout #7
Add a 3-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ layer of Melon Mambo or Mirrored Charcoal Foil under the main layer.
Add the front layer with Dimensionals.
Stamp the inside sentiment.
Card Layout #8
Add a 3-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ layer of Granny Apple Green or Silver Foil under the main layer.
Add the front layer with Dimensionals. And add the front balloons with Dimensionals.
Add 3-4 embellishments on the front.
(Nothing was added to the inside, so I took no photo.)
Card Layout #9
Add a 3-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ layer of Melon Mambo or Mirrored Charcoal Foil under the main layer.
Fold back the front half of the card base to create a z-fold. Then add the front layer with Dimensionals (just behind the top half).
Add the front balloons with Dimensionals.
Stamp the inside sentiment. Stamp the balloon image with less ink (stamp onto scrap paper 2 times first to lighten).
Add 3 embellishments on the front.
Card Layout #10
Add a 3-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ layer of Melon Mambo or Mirrored Charcoal Foil under the main layer.
Fold back the front half of the card base to create a z-fold. Then add the front layer with Dimensionals (just behind the left half).
Stamp the inside sentiment.
Add 2 embellishments on the inside.

I had a request to share how to create envelopes from designer papers to fit cards of various sizes. I also had a request to demonstrate the Translucent Floral Stamp Set in a video. So today’s card is larger than normal, has a custom-made coordinating envelope, features the Translucent Floral Bundle, and involves some fun ink blending techniques.
I think it’s stunning! I hope you do, too.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating this unique and stunning card and DIY envelope with the Translucent Floral Stamp Set, Translucent Floral Dies, Blending Brushes, Daubers, Wink of Stella, Delightful Floral Designer Paper, and other coordinating Stampin’ Up!® product.
