Oh Happy Day! October Paper Pumpkin Fun
It’s always an exciting day when my Paper Pumpkin kit arrives, and this October kit did not disappoint! I’ve been having so much fun creating with it, and I’m thrilled to share my first set of alternate projects with you. Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or just starting, these ideas are perfect for anyone looking to stretch their creativity with the Nests of Winter Paper Pumpkin kit. These 2 fun fold cards were created per the kit instructions.
Repurposing the Nests of Winter Paper Pumpkin Kit
One of my favorite things about Paper Pumpkin is how versatile the kits are. For this project, I repurposed pieces from the Nests of Winter kit. The pool party archway and cut-out were the stars of the show, with each piece taking center stage in two different designs. I turned the arch into a beautiful fun fold card, giving it a dynamic look that adds an extra element of surprise when opened. For the second card, I used the cut-out to create a window effect for added interest.
Mixing and Matching with Merry Tags & More Dies
I didn’t stop with the kit itself! I also used some die-cut pieces from the Merry Tags & More Dies. These dies were designed to coordinate with this Paper Pumpkin kit, as well as the upcoming November and December kits. I love how everything ties together seamlessly, making it easy to create cohesive, beautiful projects. At the time of this post, refills for the October kit are still available—so if you’re inspired by these projects, you can snag those refills while they last!
This is just the beginning! I’ve got more alternate project ideas lined up using other pieces from the Nests of Winter kit, and I can’t wait to share them with you. Stay tuned for more inspiration on how to make the most out of your Paper Pumpkin kits this season.
