Watercolor Bloom Paper Pumpkin Meets Iridescent Treat Bags!

Have another fun alternative using the December 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit from Stampin' Up!  I used pieces from the kit, the add-on dies + a few bits from the regular catalog/online offering from Stampin' Up! to make a fun mini album!  Shout out again to the FABULOUS Iridescent Treat Bags that literally steal my heart every time I use them.  And I have used them a LOT! 😃 

Also ... at the end of this post - I have a "map" of all the pieces I used to put the album together!  So let's get into it ... 


To make the album, you stack the envelopes together, alternating the open end.  Then fold in half.  That creates the little pockets to put in more pages.  Use as many envelopes as you want to create as many pages as you want! 

Enjoy the photos below that flip you through the album and pull out the pages! 









The back of the album I also added another oval and some more journaling.  Guess I forgot to get a photo of that.  Haha.  But here is the map for the pieces of the album: 

I hope you enjoy!  Please let me know if you have any questions! Would be happy to help!

More Paper Pumpkin Alternative Fun With Watercolor Bloom!

Just a quick post to share a card I made with the Watercolor Bloom Dec 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit from Stampin' Up! Don't forget ... once you have made the cards that come in the kit - you still have the stamp set from the kit to use!  So I used that here, along with a few other catalog supplies, to make this card! 



Hope you enjoy!  And if you need to get signed up for a Paper Pumpkin subscription - and get a fun craft kit in the mail each month - let me know! 

Thanks for visiting and please let me know if you have any questions on anything!

Some Paper Pumpkin Alternative Fun ... December 2025 Kit!

Have you played with your Stampin' Up! December Paper Pumpkin Kit yet?!  It was called Watercolor In Bloom and it is a stunning kit! The cards are fun to make AND it has a fun stamp set you can keep using!  So today I am sharing a fun card that I made with the stamp set, the coordinating Paper Pumpkin Abundant Joy Dies, pieces from the kit, and some other Stampin' Up! products! 

That vellum background piece is from the kit, and the stamp was stamped & embossed with the "Thank You" from the kit as well.  The Pretty Florals Dies are the perfect element to add to this card! 



I hope you enjoy this card!  Let me know if you have any questions!  Thank you so much for visiting!
