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.

Here are two more variations of the Double Pocket cards I shared on Thursday during my Online Paper Crafting Class. These are both made with the largest of the Pocket Thoughts Dies, the Reindeer Fun Stamp Set, and the Reindeer Days Designer Paper. To see four other versions of the Double Pocket card (the ones I shared on October 17th featuring the Season of Elegance Designer Paper and the coordinating Peaceful Season Stamps & Dies), click here.
It’s in that post that you’ll find the directions and tips for assembling. And below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list** for today’s versions of these cards. You’ll see that the measurements are for preparing supplies to make BOTH of these cards. That is because I cut the large pocket from two different colors of cardstock (Pool Party and Real Red), cut them into two, and then swapped them. So that each card uses “half” of each color.
**Products that I’m listing in this post are shown below and are currently linked to my online store.
Measurements to make BOTH cards…
Basic White Cardstock
(2) 4-1/4” x 5-1/2”
(2) 3-1/8” x 4-5/8”
Cardstock for die-cutting lg. pocket (Pool Party and Real Red)
(one of each color) 4-1/2” x 5-1/2”
Darker cardstock for insert (Pool Party and Real Red)

(I’m so sorry about the technical glitches in my two attempts to go live yesterday. But yay!…it worked today!)
I was supposed to attend a special event on September 28th hosted by my upline, Susan Campfield. But plans changed for me, I ended up not being able to attend, and so Susan brought the make-n-take materials and gifts over to me the next day.
As part of the gifts, I received the Pocket Thoughts Dies and a pack of the Season of Elegance Designer Paper. The make-n-take projects were all designed with these items as well. So after assembling the projects, I thought it would be fun to create even more with these items. I was inspired! And I came up with a double pocket card. In fact I made four versions of the card with this paper and the coordinating Peaceful Season Stamps and Dies.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating these cards. 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.
You’ll also be able to see the make-n-take projects from this events!

Welcome to our monthly APPT blog hop to showcase our September 2024Autumn AbundancePaper Pumpkin kit alternate projects! See what I have to share. Then check out all the other blogs in the hop for additional creative ideas that my fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrator friends shared.*
For those of you not familiar with these kits, they get delivered straight to your mailbox in the months of your choice. Inside are all the supplies you need AND the directions for assembling the kit cards/projects designed. Here are the intended cards designed for this September 2024 kit. (Click here for 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 September 21st.
Four unique alternate card ideas including
a z-fold thinking of you card
a fall leaves matchbook fold card
a fall leaf pocket card
and a snail and mushroom pocket card
AND… a thankful 12×12 scrapbook page layout
Today I am sharing…
A wine bottle tag
A card with a removable corner bookmark
A layered wreath card
AND… three Halloween wrapped treats
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.
The wine bottle tag is something that instantly came to mind when I saw the kit card base with the cut out circle in the center. This is the end that goes over the top of the bottle. I cut 2″ off the opposite side with my Trimmer and then reconnected them with the Cajun Craze square piece to not only make the tag longer & more rectangular, but to create a dark solid center for the sentiment focal point.
The sentiment is added with Dimensionals. I tucked in ephemera leaves from the kit, added with a Glue Dot a bow of Night of Navy & Gold Glittered Ribbon (9″ cut along the outside edges to get two long thin strands), and embellished with a couple Copper Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins.
This next idea was inspired by a card I received from friend and fellow demonstrator, Candace Johnson. She sent me a card this summer with a removable corner bookmark. And here is my version I made with this kit.
On the inside you can see the slit. I wrote lightly in pencil to show what the slit was holding. I wanted the tree slice image on both the outside and inside of the card. So I cut 3-1/2″ off the one side, cut that down to 4-3/4″ high, adhered it to the middle of a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ piece of Early Espresso cardstock after adding the copper heat embossed sentiment, and then wrapped that extra 3/4″ from the full card around to the back side of the Early Espresso layer to connect and form the full card. I added the slit for the bookmark 3″ down from the top and 1/2″ in from each side.
I made the bookmark from a 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ corner that I cut from the kit envelope with the Cajun Craze lining. From that same lining, I cut a 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ square and adhered that to the front. After stamping the branch image, I added on the leaf ephemera (using Multipurpose Liquid Glue) and the sequins.
My next idea is a card with a wreath. I discovered that putting two of those semi-circle ephemera together made a pretty wreath. To make it prettier, I simply added the leaves, the Cajun Craze strip and a sentiment
This image below just shows how I got the Pecan Pie layer, the Cajun Craze torn edge, and (both flipped over) the inside rectangular layer and leaf patterned curved accent on the bottom front.
Many who may be missing Halloween treat ideas from this year’s kit might appreciate these next three ideas…all candy wraps. The first one is super simple. I took half of the leaf card base and wrapped it around a pack of Sweet Tarts Ropes candy that I had first made super narrow and short by taping the sides and ends in. I secured the wrapped card base by stapling it shut. Then I added the stamped sentiment circle with Dimensionals.
This second one is my favorite. I first cut open the Night of Navy lined envelope and tore it as shown to create a fun edge. I cut out an Early Espresso “Hooray” using the die from the Every Celebration Dies set.
Then I cut the “Hooray” into these pieces…
…and positioned the pieces differently to form the word “boo.”
Here is the end result wrapped around a Hersey bar. The mouth on the ghost is from the H in the die-cut Hooray.
Here is the third wrapped treat idea. For this one I used the smaller envelope lining and wrapped it around a Kit-Kat bar. I added triangular white cardstock from the kit scraps and added them to the ends of the blue leaves to make them look like monster fingers (with fingernails) wrapping around from the back side of the bar. Spooky, right!? Hahaha! I’m thinking a couple eyes peeking over the top of the corner would make it more fun, but I ran out of time and had to get this all posted in time for the blog hop.
OH! Here is an image of the back sides of these last four projects.

After creating my exclusive sample projects for the Video Class, I didn’t want to waste the remaining six pieces of the 6×6 sheets of designer paper. So I designed this tiled card layout. I also used the Gold Foil leftover, too!
Now I can’t reveal the exclusive project to you, but if you are going to earn or purchase this video class bundle, just know that with this card design, you won’t have to throw away all that beautiful paper. You can also create a tiled card similar to this by just cutting a 3-1/4″ wide section of this paper and uing the other 2-3/4″ section on either end for something else.
A few hours ago I shared live on YouTube and on Facebook step-by-step directions for creating yet a third version of this card with this same suite and other Stampin’ Up! products shown below in my products list. 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 have a new style fun fold card to share with you. I’m calling it the BTW fold which stood for “By The Way” when I originally created it. But BTW could also stand for “Big T W.” And you’ll see why.
I shared this fun fold card during my team event last week and decided to share it with all of you today in the same way — through Mystery Stamping! If you’ve never seen a mystery stamping presentation before, it’s a lot of fun. You create with the supplies in your craft room by following a series of step-by-step clues that are put before you.
So go into your crafting space, play the video below (or click HERE if you do not see the video), and follow my “clues” to try to create something similar to what I’ve already created. Then scroll down to see samples of finished versions of this fun fold card. Thanks for tuning in! Okay…Get ready for some mystery stamping!
I’m assuming if you are scrolling down that you have watched the video. Wasn’t that fun?! I shared three finished card samples in the video. But below is one more.
By the way…the supply list at the end of this post includes some of the main products featured in the cards. These items are linked to where you can find them in my online store. I didn’t list adhesives and tools like I usually do.
Here are the clues I shared in the video (with a “sprinkle of metric measurements” within).
Clue #1: This will be a portrait style card with the initial opening at the bottom. Materials to gather…
Designer Paper that is like artwork you might want to frame on one side and a non-directional subtle pattern on the other side
11″ (29.6 cm) high x 12″ (30.5 cm) wide
Light neutral cardstock (white, vanilla, beige…)
2-1/2″ x 4-1/2″ (6.3 cm x 12.4 cm)
3-1/4″ x 4-1/2″ (8.1 cm x 12.4 cm)
Darker cardstock that stands out against both sides of the designer paper
2-3/4″ x 4-3/4″ (6.9 cm x 13 cm)
3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ (8.7 cm x 13 cm)
(Optional) Another coordinating cardstock (a foil or accent color)
2-5/8″ x 4-5/8″ (6.6 cm x 12.7 cm)
3-3/8″ x 4-5/8″ (8.4 cm x 12.7 cm)
Trimmer w/scoring blade or Simply Scored Tool
Bone Folder
Adhesives
Stamps & Ink
Dies/Machine &/or punches
Embellishments of any kind
Clue #2: Start with your DSP (11″ high x 12″ wide). Score in from each side at 1-3/4” (4.5 cm) and 3-7/8” (10 cm) to get four vertical score lines total. When looking at your DSP with the “artwork” side facing you, let’s call these score lines A, B, C, and D from left to right. Score horizontally half-way at 5-1/2” (14.8 cm). This is now score line E.
Clue #3: Using a Bone Folder to make strong creases…Valley fold at line B, and mountain fold at line A. This should create a z-fold look on the left. Valley fold at line C, and mountain fold at line D. This should create a z-fold look on the right. When these four score lines are folded, your DSP should measure 4-1/4” x 11”.
Clue #4: Using a Bone Folder to make strong creases…Now valley fold at line E. Your DSP should now measure 4-1/4” x 5-1/2” (10.5 cm x 14.8 cm) in its completed folded state.
Clue #5: Position the opening of the card at the bottom and add layers. Add the 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ darker cardstock layer to the front so it’s centered. Add the optional 3-3/8” x 4-5/8” layer. Add the 3-1/4” x 4-1/2” light neutral cardstock layer on top. You may want to stamp, emboss, etc. first before adding this layer. You could even use the extra 1” (.9 cm) strip of DSP to decorate this top layer.
Clue #6: Unfold at score line E but leave the other folds alone so the base now measures 4-1/4” x 11”. Keep in portrait position and add the other layers on the lower half section. Add the 2-3/4″ x 4-3/4″ darker cardstock layer centered so that the adhesive is only under the right half. (We want to be able to still unfold the DSP all the way.) Add the optional 2-5/8″ x 4-5/8” layer. Add the 2-1/2” x 4-1/2” light neutral cardstock layer on top. You may want to stamp, emboss, etc. first before adding this layer. You could even use the extra 1” strip of DSP to decorate this top layer.
Clue #7: Finish adding any sentiments/images, punched out die-cut pieces, inks, accents, ribbons, embellishments, etc. to complete.
And this is my fourth version of this card. The gold curly threads are from a strand of disassembled Gold Trim. I curled them by running my fingernail across them.
I colored the birds, berries and branches with the Night of Navy and Wild Wheat inks and a Blender Pen. I also accented with a bit of Wink of Stella. But that is hard to see in this photo.
I absolutely LOVE the Gold Mercury Vellum layers peeking out! It’s just the right amount of shine AND adds a bit of interest.
This Regal Winter Designer Paper is just stunning! Right?!
Be sure to watch the video to see the full insides and outsides of these three other cards.
Thanks for stopping by to see what I had to share today. If you enjoyed this, I’d love to know. Maybe I can share other mystery stamping videos/projects in the future.
