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!
