Beautiful Autumn themed card swaps by my Team.

November 4, 2026

Today I’m sharing two card swaps by my talented team members. Our theme was Autumn or Halloween.

First is a stunning card made by Tracey. She used the new Stampin’ Hot Foil system here:

I was absolutely blown away by this card! She used the Lustrous Leaves hot foil dies seen here. It includes a set of masks that allow you to add gorgeous colors using Blending Brushes.

Here’s a photo of the bundle:

Her colors include Lost Lagoon with Crisp Cantaloupe. The silver hot foil details really makes the leaves stand out!

The greeting is stamped on a Spotlight on Nature die-cut. See those here.

Next is a sweet fall card made by Candy.

She used the Simple Leaves bundle seen here.

Her colors include Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Berry Burst and Old Olive. The neat embossing folder is called Textured Tree Ring and can be found here. It’s on the Last Chance list and available while supplies last. It’s reduced in price too!

I’ll share another Team swap card tomorrow; stay tuned!

Framed Florets card in blues; an easy layout idea

November 8, 2022
And the blog issues continue….. If you're looking at this from a phone or tablet you may not see any photos. But as of yesterday they did show up on a computer. I hope Typepad figures this out soon!

This is one of the cards I demonstrated on last week's FB Live video. Each one features the new Fitting Florets collection of products.

The card was inspired by the colors in the pretty floral designer paper. I chose Night of Navy, Balmy Blue & Soft Succulent with White. The oval is from the Framed Florets dies; the flower & leaves are from the Framed Florets bundle. I colored them in with Blends markers.

The greeting images are so pretty; I love the mixed font.

In the video below, I shared three cards featuring the Framed Florets bundle and the Fitting Florets DSP seen here. This DSP is a limited time products; available through early January or while supplies last. It's featured in this month's kit to go seen here.

You can see all of these new products here.

Sweetest Christmas card kit to go; opt in by Nov 17th! Or choose the PDF tutorial option.

November 7, 2022
I have two different card kits to go in November; one Christmas and another 'all occasion'. See them both (& more) here! Each one also has a PDF tutorial option if you'd rather get that.

I chose the Sweetest Christmas designer paper as my inspiration for these special fun fold cards. Here's a close up of one:

Each card is a unique fancy fold; showing off the fun patterns in the Sweetest Christmas designer paper.

I have a limited supply of this pre-cut kit as the Adhesive-backed sequins are unavailable right now; luckily I ordered some before they ran out. So be sure to order this ASP if you want it.

This kit to go includes the PDF tutorial, the 10 card pre-cut cards kit, a share of the Sweetest Christmas designer paper, green 3/8" ribbon and Adhesive-backed sequins plus 10 envelopes.

The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately after payment. It includes photos, step by step directions, measurements and a supplies list. You'll use the measurements in it to cut your new designer paper; everything else is cut, die-cut or punched for you.

Here's a peek at the November Paper Pumpkin kit; it's holiday tags!

Put some sparkle into your Christmas giving this year with these festive, DIY tags! Plus, you can shop coordinating North Pole Sacks to create extra special gifts this holiday season. This fun add-on coordinates with November’s glittery tags and die-cut pieces from October’s Ho Ho Ho Paper Pumpkin kit. See them here.



Did you know that my Paper Pumpkin subscribers get a ton of alternate ideas every single month?! So if it's tags like this month, you can look forward to receiving fabulous card ideas, treat projects and possibly a scrapbook layout too! Subscribe here.

Or purchase a pre-paid subscription here. Choose from 1, 3 or 6 month plans.

Here's one of my alternative idea for the Ho Ho Ho kit. I used one of the die-cut pieces in the kit to sponge snowflakes onto the card base. Almost all of the rest of it is from the kit! It's so fun to play with the elements and come up with something new.

And below is a peek at the alternative ideas my subscribers received for the October Ho Ho Ho kit. There was a refill for this kit but it sold out already. Refill kits are only available for current subscribers.
