Change is Beautiful Paper Pumpkin alternatives; plus discounted past kits while supplies last!
April's Paper Pumpkin kit is filled with butterflies, scenes & fun fold cards. Each month I enjoy creating alternative designs with the contents in the kits to share with my subscribers each month.
I couldn't wait to play with this kit! Here's a pretty card I made just an hour after receiving my box:
I cut the front of a card base to fit on the front of a Crushed Curry card base and used other elements in the kit (butterfly, flower, banner & gems) to create this scene. I love changing up the cards; the kits are great as is but the challenge of creating something new is fun!
This next card uses the other half of the original card base. The flower layer and the polka dot layer behind it are from the original card. I did trim them just a bit to fit on a White layer.
Heads up on May's Paper Pumpkin kit – it will feature each of our 5 new In Colors AND they are adding Golden Vouchers worth $25 USD to some of the boxes. The winners will find their Golden Voucher in their May 2022 Paper Pumpkin box.
Exciting news!! They just announced that they are discounting some previous Paper Pumpkin refill kits at 50% off! Below you'll see the kits and others available to current subscribers. Click on a photo below or click here to see all of the available kits.

Merry Christmas to you!
Merry Christmas! I hope you are able to spend it with loved ones.
It’s my favorite time for our family! Our kids are coming as usual and we have a good time playing games, making puzzles, lots of sweet treats and good meals too. We also play Minute to Win It games and have an appetizer showdown too!
I created a second card with Secret Sea as the card base instead of Pretty Peacock. Which do you prefer?
This card is a bridge fun fold layout. It starts out with a 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″ card base but requires two extra cuts from the center score line down 1 1/8″ from each edge. It’s easy with our Paper Trimmer. Watch the video below to see how it’s done.
I hope you try one. If you haven’t made one before please watch the video below. They are quite fun to make & open!
The photo below shows the card closed, the main panel lifted and the inside! Tip: We used a handmade stencil to sponge snowflakes on the inside. *cut snowflakes from a piece of card stock and sponge or blend ink through the windows.
Save time on finishing the inside of your cards with this trick!
I’m excited to share these stunning snowflake cards with you today. We made them at my card clubs in December. Living in North Dakota, we usually see a lot of snow in the winter so these cards are great for many occasions.
I used the Snowflake Kisses bundle seen here. It’s filled with wonderful greeting images and lots of snowflake dies.
My colors include Pretty Peacock with Cloud Cover and Gorgeous Grape with Fresh Freesia. I think blues & purples are perfect for snowflakes. We used a blending brush to add more color to the large snowflake die-cut.
I wanted to add snowflakes to the inside of the card but didn’t want to die-cut tons of them for my club gals. So I came up with creating a snowflake stencil. I cut multiple snowflakes from a piece of card stock and we used Blending Brushes to add pretty snowflakes to our White layer. I truly love the effect it gives.

See how this card is made in the video below. I also shared a second Snowflake Kisses fun fold card.
