February 2025 Paper Pumpkin Alternatives
We are working with the February 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit, Hello Spring.
Welcome to the A Paper Pumpkin Thing “APPT” Monthly Blog Hop! The PPX Crew has joined with some additional Stampin’ Up! demonstrators to give you even more amazing alternatives with the Paper Pumpkin Kits. We blog alternate projects from the prior month’s Paper Pumpkin Kit using only the items from the Paper Pumpkin Kit and Stampin’ Up! Products. I’m Linda Cullen from Massachusetts, and you are visiting my blog, Crafty Stampin’. At the bottom of the blog post, you will find a list of all the participating blog hoppers so you can move along from blog to blog and see all the fantastic projects.
Card & Gift Card Holder
Welcome to the APPT blog hop!! We are all working with the amazing February 2025 Paper Pumpkin. I created an alternative greeting card and a matching Gift Card holder.
Greeting Card
I had so much fun mixing the February Kit, “Hello Spring,” with the Grow with Love Bundle. I started with an Early Espresso Cardstock card base and cut down an envelope from the kit as my base layer. The new Woven Textures Designer Series Paper looks great with the green envelope I highlighted with Gold Foil Sheets. I trimmed down a die cut from the kit so I could accent it with a die cut label of Early Espresso Cardstock. I finished the card with some Garden Green Twine from the Natural Tones Linen Thread and gold embellishments from Blooming Pearls.
Gift Card Envelop
The Gift Card envelope mimics the greeting card using the envelope from the kit as its base and a matching belly band from the Woven Textures Designer Series Paper. I used a mix of greetings from the Grow with Love Stamp Set and the stamp set included with the kit. The Grow with Love Dies work well with the greetings from the kit. I added the Garden Green embellishments from Blooming Pearls v. the gold found on the greeting card.
I hope you liked my projects. Be sure to follow along with all the other Blog Hoppers. Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think!

I love seeing all the creative alternatives for the February 2025 Paper Pumpkin kit! The combination of greeting cards and gift card holders is such a great way to stretch the kit’s potential. Can’t wait to try out some of these ideas—thanks for the inspiration!
The idea of using a different color palette to switch up the vibe of the kit is such a clever touch. Can’t wait to experiment with my own projects and see how I can personalize it further.
It’s always so inspiring to see how others approach the same kit in different ways. I’m excited to try out the alternative color palette on my next project!
I love how everyone takes the same kit and makes such different and unique projects. It’s always so inspiring to see the variety of ideas. The gift card holder idea is especially clever!
I love how these Paper Pumpkin alternatives show just how versatile the ‘Hello Spring’ kit is! It’s great seeing how each demonstrator interprets the same materials differently.
I love how versatile this Paper Pumpkin kit is! The alternatives you’ve shared for greeting cards and gift card holders really show how much you can do with just a few supplies. Can’t wait to try some of these ideas out myself!
