October 2026 Noel Greetings Paper Pumpkin โ€“ Alternates & FREE Tutorial!

Hello, crafty friends!

The October Noel Greetings Paper Pumpkin Kit has arrived, and I’ve been having some fun creating with it!

I went LIVE to open the box, put the projects together, and of course, create an alternate card! One of my favourite things about Paper Pumpkin is seeing what else I can make with all those fun supplies.

Watch the Noel Greetings LIVE Replay!

If you missed my LIVE, you can catch the replay below! I shared everything included in the kit, created the projects, and made an alternate card too!

A Little More Paper Pumpkin Inspiration!

Of course, I couldn’t stop at just one alternate card!

After the LIVE, I had another idea and created one more Christmas card using pieces from the kit and a few extra supplies from my craft room.

I loved how it turned out, so I decided to put together a FREE PDF tutorial with all the measurements and step-by-step instructions!

And I’d love to share it with you!

September 2026 Paper Pumpkin โ€“ Aspens of Gratitude Unboxing & Alternative Cards

The September Paper Pumpkin has arrived, and today I finally got a chance to open it up and play!

I did my September Paper Pumpkin unboxing LIVE today, and if you missed me live, Iโ€™ll be sharing the replay below so you can see everything that came in this monthโ€™s box โ€” plus the alternate cards I created.

WATCH THE REPLAY:

For my alternate cards this month, I decided to forget about the kit pieces for a minute and focus on the stamps and ink included in the box.

And I had so much fun making my own DSP!

I started with a piece of Basic White cardstock and repeatedly stamped the leaf images from the Paper Pumpkin stamp set using the Early Espresso Stampinโ€™ Spot included in the kit.

And can we talk about the new Stampinโ€™ Spot design for a minute? I LOVE it! Such a great new design.

Once all of my leaves were stamped, I pulled out my Blending Brushes and added some beautiful fall colour. I used Golden Glow and Pumpkin Pie, with just a touch of Daffodil Delight here and there to brighten everything up. I love the soft look the blending gives the leaves while still letting those Early Espresso outlines really stand out.

Once my handmade DSP was finished, I cut the piece in half diagonally.

That gave me two coordinating pieces to use on two completely different card designs โ€” and meant I could turn one fun stamping session into two alternate Paper Pumpkin cards.

For one card, I kept the focus on that colourful leaf background and added a simple circular sentiment.

For the second, I paired the handmade DSP with lots of texture, a darker stamped focal circle and a simple โ€œthank you so muchโ€ sentiment.

I love how different the two cards feel even though they started with exactly the same piece of handmade DSP!

This is one of my favourite things about Paper Pumpkin. Of course you can make the projects exactly as Stampinโ€™ Up! designed them, but once that little box is open, you have stamps and supplies that you can keep playing with again and again.

Get More From Your Paper Pumpkin Kit

Each month I share my Paper Pumpkin unboxing and create alternate projects to give you even more ideas for using your kit. And my Paper Pumpkin subscribers also receive my monthly alternate card tutorial as an extra little thank you from me!

If you haven’t tried Paper Pumpkin yet, it’s such a fun way to have a creative surprise delivered right to your door each month.

And now Iโ€™m already wondering what Iโ€™ll create with next monthโ€™s kit! โค๏ธ

August 2026 Paper Pumpkin โ€“ Kindred Greetings Unboxing & Alternative Card

Thereโ€™s something special about a handmade card with a simple, heartfelt message, and the Kindred Greetings Paper Pumpkin kit is all about sending those thoughtful cards when theyโ€™re needed most.

If you missed my Paper Pumpkin live, the replay is now available! In the video, I walk through the three beautiful card designs included in the kit and share some tips for putting them together.

Watch the Kindred Greetings Paper Pumpkin Replay, I’ll walk you through assembling all three of the kit’s original card designs while sharing tips and tricks along the way. Whether you have the kit sitting on your craft table waiting to be opened or you’re simply looking for some card-making inspiration, I hope you’ll enjoy crafting along with me!

๐ŸŽฅ Watch the replay here:

For my alternate design, I stepped away from the original card layouts and paired the Kindred Greetings stamp set with the Botanical Expressions Dies.

I used the Botanical Expressions Dies to create the beautiful leafy background, keeping the overall card soft and monochromatic. I also added a little 2nd generation stamping speckle to the stamped foliage and some delicate butterfly embellishments for a touch of whimsy.

I love how changing the layout and adding a few supplies from my craft room can give a Paper Pumpkin kit a completely different look!

The card base was scored at 2″, 3-1/8″, 5-3/8″ and 6-1/2″ (which is not what I said in the video – sorry!)

One of my favourite things about Paper Pumpkin is discovering just how far you can stretch the supplies. You can follow the instructions exactly as designed, or use the exclusive stamps and pieces to create something completely your own.

Get More From Your Paper Pumpkin Kit

If you’re a Paper Pumpkin subscriber with me, you also receive an exclusive PDF tutorial featuring the Paper Pumpkin stamp set. It’s my way of giving you even more ideas for using those exclusive stamps long after you’ve finished the kit projects.

July 2026 Paper Pumpkin โ€“ Hooray for Birthdays Unboxing & Alternative Card

Birthday cards are one of those things you can never have too many of, and this month’s Paper Pumpkin kit delivers in the best way! If you missed my live class, don’t worryโ€”the replay is now available so you can craft along whenever it’s convenient for you.

The July 2026 Hooray for Birthdays Paper Pumpkin kit is packed with everything you need to create nine interactive stand-up easel birthday cards (three each of three unique designs), complete with coordinating envelopes, holographic foil accents, printed stickers, precut die-cut pieces, and an exclusive stamp set.

One of my favourite things about Paper Pumpkin is that every month offers something a little different, and these easel cards are such a fun surprise for the recipient. They display beautifully and make birthdays feel even more special.

In this replay, I’ll walk you through assembling all three of the kit’s original card designs while sharing tips and tricks along the way.

๐ŸŽฅ Watch the replay here:

Of course, I couldn’t resist creating an alternate design! Although – I did modify it a bit after the video by adding a banner ( see in the phot below).

One of my favourite parts of Paper Pumpkin is stretching the supplies beyond the instructions. Using the exclusive stamps and elements from the kit, I created a bonus birthday card with a completely different layout to show just how versatile these monthly kits can be.

October 2025 Paper Pumpkin โ€“ Cozy Christmas Unboxing & Alternative Ideas

If you love cozy, classic Christmas designs, youโ€™re going to adore the October 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit โ€“ Cozy Christmas! This monthโ€™s kit includes everything you need to create beautifully coordinated Christmas cards with traditional colors, flocked accents, and festive greetings.

In my video and blog today, Iโ€™m sharing:
โœจ My unboxing of the Cozy Christmas kit
๐ŸŽ The three original card designs
๐ŸŒŸ Three alternative cards I created using the leftovers from the kit

For my alternatives, I used:

  • Gold Striped Mesh Ribbon
  • Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder
  • Cherry Cobbler Ink
  • Blending Brush
  • Stylish Shapes Dies
  • Abundant Joy add-on dies
  • Traditional Sparkling Sequins (I didn’t use these – but a great alternative if you run out of the kit sequins)

For my alternatives, I played with textures, layers, and a touch of shimmer:

The JOY card features a fun stencil technique! I used the negative frames from the die-cut letters and a blending brush to softly blend the letters onto the extra frame.
I used second generation ink to stamp the snowflakes on the die cut circle and I finished this card with gold striped mesh ribbon for a festive sparkle.
The background is embossed with the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder. The green leaves come from the Abundant Joy die add-on, adding extra depth and dimension.

Whether you stick with the original designs or create your own alternatives, this kit is perfect for spreading handmade joy this holiday season.

โœจ Want to get even more from your kit?
If you subscribe through me, youโ€™ll also receive a free 10-project PDF tutorial each month. This tutorial is sent out to my Paper Pumpkin subscribers after the 25th of every monthโ€”perfect for keeping the creativity going. Below is a peek at last months tutorial bundle.

Farmhouse Florals Paper Pumpkin Unboxing and Alternativesโ€“ August 2025

Did you miss my live unboxing of the August 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit โ€“ Farmhouse Florals? No worriesโ€”you can catch the full replay on YouTube here:

During the live, I created the three featured card designs included in this monthโ€™s kit and shared two alternative cards made with the leftover stamp set.

For my alternatives, I used:

  • Strawberry Slush Cardstock
  • 2025โ€“2027 In Color DSP
  • Strawberry Slush & Pretty In Pink Gems

The result? Bright, cheerful designs that stretch your kit even further!

๐Ÿ“ Sweeter With You โ€“ July 2025 Paper Pumpkin Replay

๐Ÿ“ All About the Kit
This monthโ€™s Sweeter With You Paper Pumpkin kit is full of juicy strawberries, cheerful colours, and fresh summer charm. It includes everything you need to create eight cardsโ€”two each of four pre-designed projectsโ€”plus coordinating envelopes, a photopolymer stamp set, die cuts, adhesives, and more.

๐Ÿ“บ Watch the Replay Here:

The video is a bit longer than usual because I really took time to show off all the contents (4 different designs!), talk through some design tips, and make the most of the creative process with you!

โฑ๏ธ I ran out of time before finishing all my ideas on cameraโ€”but I couldnโ€™t stop crafting! After the live, I created nine more alternative cards, which Iโ€™m sharing in this post. Scroll down to see them all.

๐ŸŽ€ A Few Extra Touches
To help stretch the kit even further, I added some cardstock, embellishments, ribbon and inks. Here is the full supply list:
