Today I have 8 different card ideas to share featuring the September 2022 Paper Pumpkin Kit called Spooky Treats.
In my last post, I showcased the August, 2024 Time For Cake Paper Pumpkin Kit. I assembled those cards according to the Kit directions.

You can download the free project sheet for today's alternate card ideas here: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/fh1FsDm/octoberpaperpumpkinalt Today’s Alternate Card Idea is a Step Fold Pop Card or a ‘Tier card.’ I am never quite sure what to call it but it's easy and it's ADORABLE! We are working with the October 2023 Paper Pumpkin Kit: Home for the Holidays and I will list alternate products used for these cards as well. October 2023 Paper Pumpkin Coordinating Colors We have one fun fold today in two different layouts: vertical and horizontal just like the kit cards this month. TWO-STEP POP UP CARD MEASUREMENTS: VERTICAL Card Base: 4-1/4 x 11" Score: 5-1/2" (Lemon Lolly Cardstock) Lower Pop Up Panel: 4 x 4-1/4" Score: 1/2", 1-1/2", 2-1/2", 3-1/2" (Lemon Lolly Cardstock) Upper Pop Up Panel: 3-1/2 x 4-1/4" Score: 1/2", 1", 2-1/2", 3" (Lemon Lolly Cardstock) Vertical Card Scene from Kit (Top): 2-3/4 x 4” Vertical Homes Die Cut 1: Trim 1/2” from bottom Vertical House Layer Die Cut 2: 1-3/8 x 4-1/4” Insert for Card: 4 x 5-1/4" (use the back of the Paper Pumpkin card base) HORIZONTAL Card Base: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2" Score: 4-1/4" The only measurement that changes is the length from 4-1/4 to 5-1/2 for the step panels so it lines up with the the horizontal card base. All score lines are exactly the same. TO DECORATE HORIZONTAL CARD Trim the top of the card front on horizontal kit card to 1-1/2 x 5-1/4" Top pop panel: same layer, cut the next part to 1-3/8 x 5-1/4" Bottom pop panel: 7/8 x 5-1/4" or use the the die cut piece of 4 houses on the front panel. Trim end OPTIONAL: add die cut trees on the top pop panel behind houses INSTRUCTIONS: Add the two pop up panels first starting with the bottom panel (4 x 4-1/4") piece Burnish score lines with Bone Folder for crisp folds Line 1/2" flap with the edge of the card front so the pop up panel is folding inward at the bottom of the card front Fold in the 1/2" panel on the opposite end of pop up piece and add adhesive Fold panel back so both 1/2" panels line up and touch back-to-back on card base and press down The bottom pop up square should be in place For the top pop up tier, there are two 1/2" panels on either end of this piece (3-1/2 x 4-1/4" piece) Add adhesive to both 1/2" panels on one side because the one 1/2" gets glued to the bottom pop up and the other 1/2" gets secured to the card Add adhesive to the outer most 1/2" panel at the top of the upper pop up panel Press the bottom pop up mechanism so it's flat against the card base Fold the top panel flap back and press down to adhere the glue You want both 1/2" inch panels folded back on the top piece but only the edge has the tear and tape Now you can pop up both panels together and decorate Once you've added your pop up mechanisms the hard part is done and your fun fold is created! Now, to decorate, because we do not have DSP, we are going to use the scenes on the card fronts in the kit along with the die cuts to decorate these cards. Top panel layer: Trim vertical card front scene to 2-3/4 x 4" Top pop panel layer: 1-3/8 x 4" or use the full die cut piece (vertical with two houses on it) and trim about 1/2" off of the bottom Bottom pop panel layer: 7/8 x 4" or use the full die cut piece with the single red house and trim about 1-1/8" inches off of the bottom ADHESIVE PLACEMENT ON POP OR STEP LAYERS Just be sure to place the glue at the bottom only of each layer. Because this is a fun fold the glue only goes on the area where it will be glued to the pop up panel. It needs to move when the card is folded closed and then opened. STAMPING Use the banners in the kit to stamp sentiments in Real Red ink. Stamp greeting on inside layer and add to card. You can also stamp the snowflakes in Balmy Blue ink or the House stamp image in Balmy Blue ink, if desired. Layer the banner over the glitter pieces in the Paper Pumpkin Kit for added sparkle. P.S. - DON'T FORGET THE AWESOME GLITTER GLUE! It's a great accent on the rooftops/ snow. ST. NICHOLAS ALTERNATE Measurements exactly the same as vertical card above. You will need: Die Cut Chimney (Cherry Cobbler Cardstock) (Saint Nicholas Dies) Die Cut Chimney Top (Cherry Cobbler Cardstock) (Saint Nicholas Dies) Die Cut St. Nicholas (Traditions of St. Nick DSP) Die Cut Snow Cap for Chimney Top (leftover piece of white card in kit or Basic White Cardstock) Rustic Christmas Countdown Kit Sequins *Optional* INSTRUCTIONS Trim feet off of St. Nick and glue behind the chimney. Add chimney top with dimensionals. Glue snow cap to top of chimney top. Add glitter glue. Add to the bottom pop panel, center. Careful to keep glue low so St. Nick moves with the card as it pops up and down. I hope you enjoyed today's alternate card ideas for the Paper Pumpkin Kit!

Today I have 8 different alternate card designs to share which feature the May 2024 Paper Pumpkin kit called The Best There Is.
Welcome to our Paper Pumpkin Possibilities blog hop! I am so excited to have joined this team of hoppers sharing alternative designs for each month's Paper Pumpkin kit. This month's kit is perfect for building your stash of birthday cards!! Hopefully what we show will inspire you. Be sure to hop all the way through to see what this amazing team has come up with! Here is the unboxing video - so you can see all that is included and how the kit can come together. VIDEO ~*~*~*~*~ AUGUST: Time for Cake Info on Kit Contents: Bring on a birthday bash with elegant birthday cards made with rose gold details! • Makes 9 cards, 3 each of 3 designs • Project includes printed card bases, coordinating envelopes, and labels • Embellishments and rose gold cord • Coordinating colors: Moody Mauve, Night of Navy (Classic Stampin’ Spot), Petal Pink, Pecan Pie, Pretty in Pink, Wild Wheat ~*~*~*~*~ Yes, this kit is just as fun as advertised - again I love the projects just as shown! But I still had so much fun coming up with some alternates - My first one is just so simple - but I love it! I used a Night of Navy base from my stash - Added a 2 1/2" strip of Wild Wheat down the middle; and a 2" strip of the light pink card base from the kit. On that I popped up a 1 1/2" x 3 3/4" strip of the candle piece from the kit and added the Happy Birthday and a bow with the Rose Gold cording. Then I used the Iridescent Foil Gems to add a little sparkle to the flames. Here's the inside - You could make several of these by cutting the kit elements apart. Here's a tip for the candles - I just placed both the candle stamp and the sparkle together on the block and had to stamp each once instead of twice - then added a dot with a yellow marker. Here's my second alternative - Again easy peasey - For this card I started with a base of Basic White - a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Night of Navy and then a 3 3/4" x 5" piece of one of the envelope linings - you can just open them and cut what your need - it extends the kit further - and the patterns are all beautiful. Loved this design and it worked perfect on my card. Then I took the three layers from the cake image and made them into candles (these were actually extra even if I had made all three cards of this pattern) - I adhered them to a Basic White piece 2 1/2" x 3 3/4" popping up the middle one on dimensionals. This was layered onto a piece of Night of Navy 2 3/4" x 4" and that entire piece popped up on dimensionsals. My sentiment banner was stamped with the bonus stamped - I used Moody Mauve and stamped it off once to make it a bit lighter - so my Happy Birthday sentiment would show up better. I then fussy cut it and adhered it to the middle candle. For the candle sparkles on this card I used the Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems - gold ones. Then finally - here are how I finished the envelopes - using my own Basic White ones - though you could use ones in the kit - And my third alternative (this kit could just go on and on with ideas) - This card is for my great-nephew's 6th birthday. I love how the bonus number set allows us to make our cards more personal. I started with a Night of Navy base and added a Basic White layer that was embossed with our Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder - I just love the festive look of this. Then added 1" x 3 5/8" strips to the front - that were cut from other parts of the kit, including the envelopes. Then added the banner and number - and of course finished the inside. I hope you've enjoyed these alternative ideas. Now be sure to hop through the rest to get some great inspiration. Don't forget to leave a comment, as we'd love to hear what you think.

Cut the front piece to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. 2- Trim off the folded edge from the Peach Envelope. From the back piece cut a piece that is 2 ½” x 4 ¼”. 3- Cut the Blue Cardbase in half at 4 ¼”. Then cut one side down to 2” x 4 ¼”. 4- From the Gimmer Paper remove ¼” from one side. Cut down to 4 ¼” x ¼”. 5- Splatter any green marker over the Green Envelope piece. I used Shaded Spruce. Add this to the front of the Thick Basic White Cardbase. 6- Layer the Blue Pattern piece on the Peach Envelope piece with a small border (about 1/8”) at the top. Then add the Glimmer Strip at the bottom so the bottom border is about the same as the top. 7- Stamp a greeting in Shy Shamrock ink in the top left corner of the Blue Pattern piece. Add this to the cardbase with about 1 ¼” at the top. 8- Layer a section of the Dark Green Fern Die in the bottom left corner. Trim off the excess. (see the video for more details @ 07:45) 9-Trim off another small section from the Large Fern Die Cut. (10:40) Add it to the top right corner. 10- Add the large Peach Dies with dimensionals in the open area on the right side of the greeting. I placed the darker peach behind and closer to the top. The lighter peach is close to the greeting. 11- Cut out thanks with the Thanks & Beyond from Shaded Spruce Cardstock. Add under the stamped greeting with dimensionals. I have also created a video walking you through each step. To purchase any Stampin’ Up! products please visit https://www.stampinup.com?demoid=2042902 Have a creative day! Chelsey [email protected]
