Answer the call of the wild—and your creativity—with the Safari Celebration Paper Pumpkin Kit! Escape the ordinary and explore the outlands on an artistic adventure filled with amusing animals, beautiful botanicals, and a world of fun.

This month’s playful, party-themed kit includes:

  • All the supplies you need to create nine cards and coordinating envelopes.
  • An uplifting stamp set with celebratory sentiments! Make every occasion a celebration with stamps that say “yay!”, “fantastic!”, and other fun phrases.
  • Paper pieces in colors from each of our current In Color collections: two from our 2021–2023 In Color collection and one from our 2020–2022 In Color collection.
  • Safari-inspired shapes and patterns you’ll go wild for!

You've asked and this month Stampin Up is showing us the projects ahead of time and they are adorable!! My brain is already spinning with super fun alternate ideas. It's going to be hard to be patient waiting for this kit lol.

December 2021 Paper Pumpkin Alternatives Part 2 & PPX Blog Hop

LOTS OF PUN ALTERNATE CARDS - PART 2 OF 2 & PPX Blog Hop

I'm honored to be part of the PPX crew, which is a super talented group of demonstrators who share Paper Pumpkin alternate project videos with our customers each month. Each month my subscribers receive 6 videos of alternate projects for that month's kit, in addition to my regular alternates. In addition we offer this PPX Blog Hop.

CARDS
I really liked the designs printed on the inside of the envelopes that came in the kit. Why hide them? I took the envelopes apart and turned them into backgrounds. While I'm going outside the box, how about turning eggs into flowers? And who doesn't love google eyes?

I have printable instructions and more photos and ideas below.

December 2021 Paper Pumpkin Alternatives – Part 1

LOTS OF PUN ALTERNATIVE CARDS - PART 1 of 2

The December 2021 Lots of Puns Paper Pumpkin card kit is full of fun and witty sayings that are sure to make you smile. I wanted to go outside the "Paper Pumpkin Box" and do something completely different. I took the "egg" image from the Lots of Puns stamp set and turned it into a flower. You can improvise with another outline flower stamp set to achieve a similar look.

I have printable instructions and photos below.

This is part 1 of my 2 part series of alternate cards from the December kit. I'll be sharing part 2 tomorrow as part of our PPX blog hop.
