Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

When it comes to crafting, there’s no shortage of creative possibilities. Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or just starting out, our Stampin’ Up! Kits Collections and Paper Pumpkin Kits are fantastic resources that offer a wide range of creative opportunities. In this blog post, I’ll share how you can expand your versatility of these kits and how they can inspire your crafting journey.

If you enjoy regular doses of creative inspiration, Paper Pumpkin Kits are the way to go. These subscription kits are delivered to your doorstep every month, containing exclusive stamp sets, ink, and all the materials required for a particular project. Each month, the theme changes, keeping your creative juices flowing.

I’m sharing the video replay along with the photos and the alternative projects, this will give you an idea of how you can change up some of our current kits, and I’ll share them with you below.

How cute and how simple, right! Let’s start with the “Candy Cane” tag ….

And now for the card…

You can create this super simple alternative card with a Mint Macaron card base and the magic of a quarter sheet of the Snowflake Specialty paper.

Here is a look at the “Santa” tag ….

To create this card you simply stamp the background as shown in the video …

and with a few additional colors added, Cherry Cobbler mat and the Crumb Cake card base, you end up with a fun card.

Let’s take a look at our last tag, the “Express Delivery ….

Another easy alternative to the tag is the next card ….

I used the Brick Embossing Folder on the 3 – 4″ x 1-1/2″ strips layered onto a Basic White Base. Don’t you love using the “scrap” little dots from the tag for an embellishment!?

You may have noticed that I stuck pretty close to what was in the kit except for the cardstock. I did have a little more fun with my fourth card….

I used a Basic White cardbase and one of the cards from the Santa Expess Memories and More Card kit for my background. The white circle and the sparkly tag are from the kit and then I added the snowflake from the Wonderful Snowflakes embellishments. Speaking of embellishments …. I also added a few Iridescent Rhinestone for even more bling!

I hope you enjoyed all the alternative projects created here for you, but now let me share a current kit that you could use in the same way as I did with these projects. Let me introduce you to the Festive Tags Kit … perfect for this application and you’ll get 15 tags for only $13!!

Thanks for joining me. Have a great day and happy crafting ~
