I’m sharing a couple days later than usual, but I have my first set of Paper Pumpkin alternate project ideas from this month’s kit ready to show you!
For those of you not familiar with these kits, they come with all the supplies you need AND directions for assembling the kit cards/projects as designed. Here are the intended cards designed for this March 2024 Memorable Meadows Paper Pumpkin kit. (Click here for a link to Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video to help you assemble these as intended.)
I like to take the supplies from the kits and create other things. I like to think outside the box. This way I can show how to stretch the kits in new ways. A kit that you may have not been a fan of might all of a sudden be more attractive (or a favorite) because of a new way of using the supplies!
And I’m sharing my first alternates with you today. Even if you didn’t get this kit, I hope the ideas I share can be applied to other products you own, and I hope what I share inspires your creativity!
Watch my video first by clicking here to get the measurements, directions, and tips (or you can just click on the 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 everything.
Here are close-up photos of the alternate cards/projects I made and shared in my video. (Remember to watch first to get measurements, tips and directions.)
Quintupling the Kit…
These four are made from one of the kit card bases.
These four are made from another one of the kit card bases.
These four are made from the third kit card base.
These three are made from three of the kit envelopes.
Multiply these 15 cards by 3 (since there are 3 sets of 3 cards that come in this kit) to get 45 cards total! I doubted my math in the Live video, but after double checking,…yep. You will get 45 from the supplies of 9. Way fun, right?!
A Bonus Simple Card idea using the Extra Stamp Set…
I love the results of embossing on the purple vellum. And if you have white cardstock leftover after making your 45 cards above, you might as well make more pretty cards.
The Adorable Ghirardelli Chocolate Square Treat Holder…
I hope you enjoyed what I shared today! Again…if you did not get this kit, I hope you can apply these ideas to products you already own.

This is a fun one! Did you get in on the February 2024 Sweet Springtime Paper Pumpkin kit? It lives up to it’s name. The imagery is fresh & cheerful, and the animals look so sweet. I couldn’t stop creating with it and have already put together eight different projects to share…one is exclusive for my personal paper pumpkin subscribers, four I am sharing today, and the others (plus whatever else I create) will have to wait until March 8th.
This kit contained the supplies shown below to make nine projects (3 of 3): three standard size cards, three slimline cards, and three milk carton treat containers.
But I never assemble my kits as is, because I like to share 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…
Mini Easter Baskets (how to double the treat containers)
A Milk Carton with Window
A Circle Wreath Card
And a Unique Pocket Card

Here are the intended cards/projects designed for this January 2024 Lovely Lavender Paper Pumpkin kit. (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 January 24th.
A Star Column Pedestal Card
Four Torn Border Cards
And…A Shaker Valentine Card
Today I am sharing…
A Landscape Card featuring the Love of Spring Dies
A Valentine Bouquet Card
AND…Two 12×12 Love-Themed Scrapbook Pages also featuring the Love of Spring Dies
The dies are definitely the “stars” on this first card where I cut the leaves from a scrap of Shaded Spruce Cardstock and the “Love” from a scrap of Blackberry Bliss Cardstock. The only other added product outside of the kit is a sheet of folded 4-1/4″ x 11″ Basic White for the card base. My floral layer is from a card in the kit. I cut it to 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8.” And after wrapping and tying my 32″ of twine, I added that layer with Dimensionals. (The small stamped “WITH” is also added with Dimensionals.) And to give dimension to my leaves I curled them with a Bone Folder before tucking and adding them to the card.
See below for a complete list of extra products I used on all three projects. The products are linked to where you can find them in my online store.
My second card (also with a Basic White card base) involves a bit more stamping. I stamped the inside of the card and the front white strip with stamps from the kit. I also stamped the branch of leaves image a few times on the 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ purple envelope paper layer. The color is very subtle because I stamped onto scrap paper once or twice to lighten the ink first. After stamping I added the green leaves, then the purple flowers with Dimensionals, then the sentiment strip. I finished the card by tying on about 12″ of twine to the left stem of the purple flowers.
The floral and/or watercolor purple square layers measure 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ and all come from one of the kit card bases. I cut a slit in this one shown below so I could tuck in and attach the leaves (Notice I’m cutting directly on my Glass Mat? I love this thing!).
The green leaves are from the kit, but the purpleish ones (and the “love”) are cut from the Berry Burst Holographic Specialty Paper using the Love of Spring Dies.
For the bouquets I added the bottom floral 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ squares with Dimensionals. Then I tucked and attached the green leaves and flowers. OH! I almost forgot. I have 3 groups of green leaves. I got three by cutting the largest one from the kit into two pieces.
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.

I have my January 2024 Lovely Lavender Paper Pumpkin kit in hand, and I’m ready to demonstrate for you my first set of alternate projects that I’ve created!
For those of you not familiar with our kits, they come with all the supplies you need AND directions for assembling the kit cards/projects as designed. Here are the intended cards/projects designed for this January 2024 Lovely Lavender Paper Pumpkin kit. (Click here for a link to Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video to help you assemble these as intended.)
But I like to take the supplies from the kits and create other things…think outside the box. This way I can show how to stretch the kits in new ways. A kit that you may have not been a fan of might all of a sudden be more attractive (or a favorite) because of a new way of using the supplies!
And I’m sharing my first alternates with you today. Even if you didn’t get this kit, I hope the ideas I share can be applied to other products you own, and I hope what I share inspires your creativity!

Today I have five more alternate project ideas to share with you that I made with the December 2023 All The Best Paper Pumpkin kit!
I already shared three cards with you on Dec 23…
A Hidden Scenery Z-Fold Card*
A “Fractured” Card (two versions)*
And a Pop Up Floating Frame Card.*
Click here to visit that post to see photos, a how-to video, measurements, and supplies used.
Today I’ll be sharing…
An Easel Card (two versions)*
A Card With a Four Panel Background*
An “Outside In” Fun Fold Card*
A 12×12 Photo Page Layout
And a Simple Envelope Treat Holder
*FYI: Today’s three cards and the three cards from before are put together with one set of supplies from each of the three kit cards. So if you make these cards with all the kit supplies, you can get 18 instead of just 9 cards…you can double the cards in the kit!
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.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared! Here are close-up photos of the alternate cards I made and shared in my video. (Remember to watch my video first to get measurements, tips and directions.)
