My October Paper Pumpkin kit arrived, and I just designed my first set of alternate projects using the contents of this unique kit and a bit of other coordinating product! I’ll share many of them today. I’ll share more on December 6th. And one of them I’m keeping exclusive to contribute to the collection of exclusives my Paper Pumpkin Creatives Team is currently compiling…projects we will share just with our personal Paper Pumpkin subscribers and team members (more details below).
Here are the consumable supplies (minus the stamp set and ink) that come with this kit. (photo will be added in a day or two).
This kit has enough supplies to make 8 festive mini Christmas stockings with tags. Do you want to make them as intended? Click here for a link to Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video.
But I never assemble my kits as is, because I like to show kit recipients other ways to use their 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 several ideas for altering or repurposing the stocking AND four cards that I made with the tag pieces.
Watch my videohere 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’ll have many more alternate projects that I’ll be sharing in future posts!
I hope you enjoyed what I shared and gained some creative inspiration! Below 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.)
**Products that I’ve shared or mentioned are shown/listed below and are currently linked to my online store.
Short & Long Hat Treat Holders/Accents
Horsey Treat Wrap
Stockings With “Greenery” (One is embossed!)
Four Cards Made With the Tag Pieces
If you did not get this kit, I hope you can apply these ideas to products you already own. OR…become an active subscriber and get in on the refill kit. (The refill typically shows up in the online store soon after the 20th.) It doesn’t contain the ink and stamp images. But you will at least gain the main pieces and can hopefully replace most of the stamp images I used with some of your own.

I’ve been itching to play with the new Happy Hibiscus Bundle (stamps, dies & embossing folder) that just released into the online store this month. I was inspired by some cards that were featured on Stampin’ Up! Facebook Page on November 7th and created a congrats card with fun inking and layering/texturing techniques.
A big thank you to Maheswari Rajaguru for creating and sharing those featured cards that inspired my design. (I loved the color combo and other elements she used in her Changing Leaves cards.)
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating my artsy card with the Happy Hibiscus Bundle, the Bough Punch, Blending Brushes, Wink of Stella, glimmer papers, inks & cardstocks, and other coordinating Stampin’ Up!® products. 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.
This isn’t a typical “beginner’s style” card. But I take the time to share tips and techniques so that even those new to card making can learn and create.
I’m planning on sharing videos (Lives or pre-recorded) twice a week moving forward. I’ll continue to teach on Wednesdays. My next Online Paper Crafting Class will be next week: Wednesday, November 20, 2024 at 11 AM Central Time. But I’ll also go share in just a couple days. My extra video will be another live Online Paper Crafting Class this Friday, November 15, 2024 at 3 PM Central Time. I hope you can join me for either or both!

Welcome to our All Star monthly blog hop for the Nests of Winter Suite! We are excited to share even MORE ideas than what we are offering in our exclusive Video Class Bundle this month.
The Nests of Winter is one of my favorite suites in the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog. So you can image how happy I am that it’s the featured suite this month in our All Star group. In fact I’m so in love with this suite that I’ve created my yearly Stampers With ART team holiday/appreciation cards with it. It’s taking me a bit more time than I anticipated to get these cards done, but I’m hoping to send one to each person in my team within the week. Hopefully no one will be sad if they catch this post first, because it’s this card that I’m sharing with you all today.
I used the stamps, dies, and designer paper from the Nests of Winter Suite, the Painted Trees Embossing Folder with the Pool Party Two-Toned Cardstock and buffer/sanding blocks, the Cherry Cobbler & Gold Satin Ribbon, and more to create a Hidden Scenery Z-Fold Card.
A few hours ago I shared live on YouTube and on Facebook step-by-step directions for creating this card. 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.

My October Paper Pumpkin kit arrived, and I just designed my first set of alternate projects using the contents of this beautiful kit and a bit of other coordinating product! I’ll share most of them today. But one of them I’m keeping exclusive to contribute to the collection of exclusives my new Paper Pumpkin Creatives Team is currently compiling…projects we will share just with our personal Paper Pumpkin subscribers and team members (more details below).
Here are the consumable supplies (minus the stamp set and ink) that come with this kit.
This kit has enough supplies to make ten fun fold cards – five each of two different kinds. Do you want to make the cards as intended? Click here for a link to Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video.
But I never assemble my kits as is, because I like to show kit recipients other ways to use their 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 how you can triple the cards from your kit by creating six cards with the supplies from two. I’m also sharing a shaker card and a couple book treat boxes.
Watch my videohere 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’ll have many more alternate projects that I’ll be sharing in future posts!
I hope you enjoyed what I shared and gained some creative inspiration! Below 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.)

If you did not get this kit, I hope you can apply these ideas to products you already own. OR…become an active subscriber and get in on the refill kit. It doesn’t contain the ink and stamp images. But you will at least gain the main pieces and can hopefully replace most of the stamp images I used with some of your own.

They are shared as a FREE bonus gift to our Paper Pumpkin kit subscribers and team members.
Our Sept-Dec 2024 Paper Pumpkin Creatives team includes:
Each pocket includes the stamp set reinforced with a 4″ x 6″ layer of Window Sheet set against a 4″ x 6″ layer of Basic White Cardstock. And I label the white sheet with the name of the kit, the month and year.
And I keep my consumable kit contents propped upright in gallon Ziploc storage bags so I can see the items within.
