Cozy Christmas Alternates Paper Pumpkin Oct 2025

Only a few months late posting this but at least it’s in the same holiday season! I should have posted these a month or two ago but…life got busy. As it is, I am happy to have finished my Paper Pumpkin kit from October as I am trying to finish up older kits.

The kit is designed to create three cards, each of three designs for a total of nine cards. But instead of the typical 3 cards of each design, two of them were stretched out into six cards and seven cards respectively with minimal extra pieces, other than card bases and a few panels.The third card, I only made three of, but not as originally designed of course. So for starters, here are all the unique cards I designed:

The first one below was created by assembling the large ornament, then cutting it in two. I cut the card bases into two 4x5.25” panels and adhered the ornament to the corresponding side of the panel. When making 6 cards from supplies of 3, I of course ran out of the supplied sentiment labels so I used the banner die from the Stylish Shapes Dies which fit the sentiment with the kit perfectly! The red ribbon is from last year’s Nests of Christmas Paper Pumpkin Kit and that added a nice touch to the sentiment label.

Next I created 7 mini trees from the original pieces. I ran out of stars atop the tree so I used a red sequin. I used red print panels from my stash…some Stampin’UP! and some not.  I had a couple of tree pieces left and plan to make a tag out of them.

And last but not least, I created the card below…I don’t know what it’s called but it stands beautifully.:

I added some die cut sentiments on the back of the “JOY” panel so that there’d be a little more room to write a personal message:

I think I have a few card bases or panels left to use another day but most of this kit was used, and in a timely manner as I was able to send these out as some of my holiday greeting! Yaaaay!

If you’re finding this blog entry in 2026 or beyond and have this kit still unfinished, I hope this inspires to you make these cards and finish up your kit too! Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day.
