Hello, crafty friends!

I had so much fun creating with the February 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit – Hello Spring! This kit is perfect for welcoming the fresh, bright colors of spring, and I couldn’t resist making a few alternative cards to show you how versatile it is.

In my recent Paper Pumpkin Live, I shared three alternative card designs featuring a mix of kit elements and extra supplies to step up the creativity. If you missed it, don’t worry—you can catch the replay here:

Here are the three alternate cards I created.

💌 Happy Easter – A fresh and airy design with Lost Lagoon cardstock, delicate stamping, and Brushed Brass Butterflies to embellish. BONUS – the butterflies are a Sale-a-bration freebie (with a $75 purchase) from now until Feb 28th!

🌿 Layered Greenery – A nature-inspired look using Old Olive cardstock and layered textures for depth. It is also a gift card holder!

🪻 A Wonderful Friend – Featuring a soft mix of Basic Beige and florals with an elegant Spotlight On Nature die-cut circle.
