Welcome to our monthly “A Paper Pumpkin Thing” blog hop! It’s time to showcase our October 2024Nests of ChristmasPaper 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 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 October 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 October 23rd: how you can triple the cards from your kit by creating six cards with the supplies from two, a shaker card, and a couple book treat boxes. Today I am sharing: six other cards, a fun and easy gifting idea for Christmas, and a scrapbook page layout.

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.)
**Products that I’ve shared or mentioned are shown/listed below and are currently linked to my online store.
Six Cards From the Supplies of Two (Triple the Kit!)
Shaker Card
Cardinal Book Treat Box
Chickadee Book Treat Box
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.

Do you ever do that…order just the stamp set (or just the dies) thinking you had ordered them both in the bundle? That’s what I did with the new Online Exclusive, Sophisticated Sled. But now I have the both in my hands. And I’ve put together some fun fold cards featuring the skates and sled images from this bundle. I’m excited to share!
Because it was so similar to the these outside-in fun fold cards that I shared back in January, I extended the name to “Diamond Outside-In” cards. But this fun fold card has also been called the Diamond Fold Card or the Diamond Flip Fold Card.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating these cards with the newly released Sophisticated Sled Stamp Set & Dies (products from the Online Exclusives), Thoughtful Journey Patterned Paper, Winter Meadow Patterned Paper, coordinating cardstocks and inks, and other 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.

MY FAVORITE EXTRAS I’ve added a new section to my website titled My Favorite Extras. This is where you can find direct links to other products (from Amazon, Stamp-n-Storage, The Country Hive, etc.) that I love, use, and share about.
Today I thought I’d share a few more cards from my Texture Chic Virtual Tour video that I posted on June 1st. These are the first four cards I share in that video (around the 7 minute mark after introducing the products) that feature the fantastic stamps from the Season of Chic Stamp Set. You’ll see that I used both images for the flower, shell and leaf to get the two tones or multi-layered look.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements for these cards...
Basic White Cardstock
4-1/4” x 11″ scored parallel to short side at 5-1/2” for the card base (for all cards)
1-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ (for flower and leaf cards)
7/8″ x 4-1/4″ (for shell card)
4″ x 5-1/4″ (for snow card)
The season of Spring is represented in this stamp set with the flowers. In this card I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso, the splatters in Petal Pink, and the flowers in Flirty Flamingo. To get that lighter pink in the inside solid flowers, I stamped onto scrap paper a few times first to lighten the intensity of the color. I stamped onto scrap paper just a couple times for the slightly darker pink outline image.
I snipped into the middle on the right edge about 1/4″ then cut upper corner to the end of the middle cut and lower corner to the end of the middle cut to make the banner edge. I used Dimensionals to add the sentiment layer and adhered the sequins with Fine Tip Glue.
The season of Summer is represented in this stamp set with the shells. In this second card I stamped the sentiment in Tuxedo Black, the “sand” in a very lightened shade of Crumb Cake (stamped on scrap paper twice), and the shells in lightened Crumb Cake and Balmy Blue.
I used Dimensionals to add the sentiment layer and adhered the sequins with Fine Tip Glue.
The season of Fall/Autumn is represented with the leaves. For this card I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso and the leaves in Old Olive, Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie, and Crushed Curry. The lighter shade on the inside solid leaf image is again from stamping off onto scrap paper first.
And again I used Dimensionals to add the sentiment layer and Fine Tip Glue to add the sequins.
The three color packs of sequins in the For Everything Fancy Sequin pack were what guided me in choosing my ink colors for these first three cards.
The season of Winter is represented in this stamp set with the snowflakes. In this card I stamped all the images using Highland Heather ink.
The top layer is added with Dimensionals. And the embellishments I used this time were the Iridescent Rhinestones which are self-adhesive.
