AUTUMN ABUNDANCE ALTERNATES
APPT BLOG HOP
Welcome to another exciting installment of crafting inspiration brought to you by the APPT (A Paper Pumpkin Thing) group! Today, we’re diving into the world of repurposed creativity with alternate projects from the Autumn Abundance Paper Pumpkin kit. Join us as we explore the endless possibilities of transforming kit components into unique creations that showcase your individual style. You can take the blog hop tour by clicking the links below.
I’m sharing two fun projects that I’ve made using repurposed elements from the Fall Autumn Abundance Paper Pumpkin Kit.
Project 1: Pinwheel Tower Card
This interactive card showcases four unique sides, each sharing a different autumn scene, capturing the essence of the season. From warm harvest tones to rich foliage, the card brings fall to life with beautifully coordinated designs. It’s a perfect blend of creativity and versatility, making it ideal for various occasions or as a decorative piece!
Project 2: Handmade Autumn Treat Box
What’s a beautiful card without a matching treat box? I used Stampin’ Up’s Book Treat Boxes as the base for this project and covered them with the wood grain background paper from the Country Woods Designer Series Paper. This paper is ideal for adding that cozy, natural feel to any autumn-themed project.
To keep the theme consistent, I decorated the box with the same autumn leaves and die cuts from the Paper Pumpkin kit, bringing everything together in one beautiful, seasonal package. It’s the perfect little box for holding treats, gifts, or even small trinkets for fall occasions!

So, if you missed out this time, be sure to subscribe early for the October kit—it’s always disappointing when you miss out on the chance to create with these stunning kits, and you won’t want to miss what’s coming next month!
