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!

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!

Home Decor Alternative With Farmhouse Floral Paper Pumpkin!

Oops!  I forgot to share this with you!  And I love it!  I love it for the simplicity but yet also makes an impact ... in your home!  Yes!  I made a little home decor piece with Stampin' Up!'s August Paper Pumpkin Kit called Farmhouse Floral.  You can check out the other alternatives that I made with this kit in THIS POST and THIS POST.  

How fun and cute is this?! 💖 I made it with pieces of the kit that I just cut up and repurposed a bit.  And then added a few extra products available through Stampin' Up! It was so easy to make and is so cute to display!  

I cut some strips Basic White Cardstock and a pattern from the Designer Series Paper pack called Floral Impressions. Then adhered them to a piece of cardstock cut to the size of the frame.  (This is a 4"x6" frame.) 

I then inserted that into the frame and the rest of the pieces are adhere to the outside on the glass.  This gives your project that pop! 

These flowers are from the kit too!  I just cut them out from the bag they were with in the kit and added them to the frame!  Then added the greeting, using a Blending Brush to add a little soft color.  Sequins went in the middle of the flowers and a label cut from the Label Me Grateful Dies "grounded" the focal point! 😍

Hope you enjoy!  Thank you so much for visiting! Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.  Would love to help!  And if you need to get signed up with your own Paper Pumpkin subscription or any other Stampin' Up! supplies ... let me know!  That's my speciality!

Another Farmhouse Floral Paper Pumpkin Alternative!!

Do you like Petal Pink?! I hope so - cause this one is full of it!  Hee.   This is my second alternative that I am sharing from Stampin' Up!'s Farmhouse Florals Paper Pumpkin Kit.  You can see the first one in THIS POST!  I ♡♡♡ LOVE LOVE ♡♡♡ these typewriter die-cuts that are in the kit.  So I wanted to highlight it! And then how the kit mixes it with beautiful flowers ... well I think it is just stunning!  😃  All supplies are from Stampin' Up! 

Who wouldn't feel they were loved when they got this card?!  I may be biased, but I think most would!  😀😂

Let me share a few details ... 

The kit comes with the paper pieces to stamp & put in the typewriter also - isn't that so adorable?!  I used the Everyday Arches Dies to create the base of the focal point on the card.  Then I also used the Pretty Florals Bundle - Stamp Set & Dies - to add these fun floral accents on the corners.  

The background was stamped in Calypso Coral onto Petal Pink cardstock.  I used one of the stamps from the kit.  Yes - this kit comes with A FREE Bonus Stamp Set!  So you get TWO stamp sets in this kit!  And I love this one ... it is a strip of that fun accent that lines up with itself ... so you can easily stamp it repeatedly!   ***FUN TIP *** I took a Blending Brush and added some Petal Pink ink to the cardstock before I stamped it.  I just did this to get a bit more depth to the color tone and to stand out against the same colored card base.  Fun little detail.  

I hope you enjoy this card!  One more look at the full card ...

August Paper Pumpkin Fun! Farmhouse Florals Alternative!

I hope you have your August Paper Pumpkin Kit handy, because I have a fun alternative to share with you! I used some extra products from Stampin' Up! to add to the beauty of the pieces of the kit and the stamp set from the kit.  And ☆ BONUS!! ☆ ... this kit comes with an EXTRA FREE STAMP SET!  Woot!  So I used BOTH of the stamp sets!  Also ... did you know every 3 months there is a new die set released that coordinates with the Paper Pumpkin kits?  So I also used the die set that coordinates with this kit and is called Circle of Seasons.  

Let me point out some details: 

🌷 The circle die-cut & the "hello" greeting is from the Paper Pumpkin die set.  

🌷The gold floral image & the gold background is all stamped and embossed with Gold Embossing Powder.  The stamps are both from the kit stamp sets.  

🌷 The designer paper used here is from the Country Woods paper pack.  I love how the gold embossed detail looks on this paper! 

🌷 The flower over the ribbon is from the kit and the floral die-cut is from the Beautiful Motifs Dies.  

🌷 The ribbon is actually the White 1/4" Ribbon.  However ... I cut off one of the sides of the ribbon and frayed it.  Love how much texture and details this adds.  

I hope you enjoy this card!  Thank you so much for visiting!  If you need help getting a Paper Pumpkin subscription or any add-ons or Stampin' Up! supplies ... don't hesitate to reach out! Would love to help you with all your papercrafting needs!

Inked Occasions Treat Box ...

Still have one more project to share that I made with the Fabulous Stampin' Up! April Paper Pumpkin Kit.  It's called Inked Occasions and probably one of my fave kits from all the years.  It is so gorgeous!  I share two different cards that I made in THIS POST and THIS POST.  And now I am sharing this fun box! 

All supplies are from ©️ Stampin' Up!

Colors:  Basic White, Berry Burst, Pool Party, Gold

Inks: Coastal Cabana, Berry Burst, VersaMark

Cardstock/Papers: Thick Basic White, April 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit Inked Occasions

Stamps: Inked Occasions (stamps from kit)

Tools:  Fancy Borders Dies, Heat Tool, Simply Scored Scoring Tool

Accessories: Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder, Gold & Silver 1/8" Trim Combo Pack

Look how cute she is!  And so easy to make!  You just cut one of the cards from the kit into 2 pieces measuring 3" x 5 1/2".  Then use the Fancy Borders Dies to cut the top end of both of the pieces.  Then ... using the template below ... cut and score a piece of Thick Basic White Cardstock and make your box bottom.  Adhere the card pieces - one to the front & one to the back, decorate, and voila!  Cute little box to put any small gift or treat in! 

It was a fun box to make and definitely fun to give! 💗 

I hope you enjoy this little cutie.  Let me know if you have any questions!  Or need help getting signed up with your own Paper Pumpkin subscription!

Congratulations With Inked Occasions ... April '25 Paper Pumpkin Alternative!

Have another Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin Alternative to share today!  Need a fun congrats card?  Well maybe you should make one of these also! 😍 I paired the kit, the kits add-on coordinating die set, Hugs Abloom, & the Everyday You & Me Bundle (those cute flowers!) to make this card: 

Some of the fun details: 

• I love that label die (from Hugs Abloom Dies!) for a fun background.  I cut some from one of the cards and some from Basic White Cardstock.  Added texture by embossing some with the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder.  
• Die-cut leaves (Hugs Abloom Dies!) in both Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock & Gold Foil to layer those for dimension.  One of the pieces from the kit is behind it also.
• Stamped those flowers in Bubble Bath ink & used the coordinating dies (Everyday You & Me Bundle) to make this focal point pop! 

All supplies are from Stampin' Up! 

And for some close pics of the details ...

It is so much prettier in person than what I could show in the photos.  Haha.  So just trust me on that!  But I love how this card turned out!

More Dec 2024 Paper Pumpkin Fun! An Alternative!

If you are still playing with Stampin' Up!'s Dec 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit ... then I have some fun alternatives to share with you that you can make with just a few extra supplies!  Today I am sharing one using just some extra paper and dies.  

How fun is this?!  I used some cardstock (Basic White for the card base & Old Olive for the greeting), some Designer Series Paper (Perennial Lavender ... the gingham paper 😍), Gold Foil Sheets for the flowers, the Sentimental Park Dies for the flowers, & some Linen Thread.  

The scalloped background piece is actually the sticky label from the kit that is supposed to go on the envelope.  I LOVE LOVE this piece!  😁. And then that big gorgeous floral image is from the kit.  

This card was quick & easy to put together.  I hope it inspires you to play along & get crafting!  It is so good for my soul! 😃

Dec 2024 Paper Pumpkin Alternate - Notes From the Heart Kit!

Have you seen or played with the Dec 2024 Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin Kit, called Notes From the Heart?!  I hope so ... because it is such a fun & gorgeous kit!  But today I am sharing something I made with the stamp set from the kit!  Because don't forget ... after the kit is made ... you still have a fun stamp set to play with! 😍

The stamp set that came with this set is so fabulous.  It is one I am sure I will reach for time and time again.  Sorry I forgot to grab a picture of it, but it is a bunch of greetings in a really fun font.  Something for every occasion!  So here ... I let the greeting be the star of the show!  😃  Also, I used one of the vellum pieces that came in the kit.  

I did, however, add a little interest to the vellum.  I took the white from the Pearlized Enamel Effects Basics and painted it over the vellum.  It adds a really pretty shimmer in real life.  And even curls the petals a bit as it dried.  💖 I love how it turned out!  

I actually made this card for the ladies at the Stampin' Up! Home Office that do the Paper Pumpkin videos each month.  I so appreciate all the hard work they put into those!  So it now sits at the home office.  Hee. 

One last view of the card!  

And in case you are wondering ... here is what the cards in the kit look like!  I do have some alternatives to show you, but if you want to make them as is ... here you go! 

Thank you so much for visiting!  If you have any questions ... I would love to help!  Don't hesitate to reach out! 

If you aren't a Paper Pumpkin subscriber yet, and live in the United States, I can help with that also!
