Don’t overlook your Paper Pumpkin envelopes! 🍂✂️ Don’t overlook your Paper Pumpkin envelopes! 🍂✂️

Some of the little woodland scenes on my Postage Stamp Collage Card came from the printed envelopes in September’s Aspens of Gratitude kit.

As an alternative, I kept the artwork together and made an Autumn Easel Card. Open it up, and the “Season of CHANGE” greeting holds it upright for display!

Two different ways to use the same beautiful autumn artwork.

I’ve also added design-and-assembly videos to the blog. You’ll see the ideas, the changes of mind, and the wrong turns—with music, on-screen notes, and trimmed dead space. 😂

See both projects and watch the process videos through the APPT post linked in my bio.

August Paper Pumpkin got a little fancy. ✨ For th August Paper Pumpkin got a little fancy. ✨

For this month’s A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop, I turned the Kindred Greetings Kit into two fun-fold alternatives.

🌿 Floating Botanical Z-Fold
🌿 Split Front Botanical Card
✨ Gold hot foil details
🌿 Watercolor botanical layers

And this was my FIRST time using the new Stampin’ Hot Foil System. Apparently, I decided a blog hop was the perfect time to learn a brand-new machine. 😂

I also kept the kit card bases because that linen texture is simply too pretty to replace.

See the cards open and closed, plus all the supplies and details on my blog.

I created a floral shaker card filled with extra kit flowers and Blooms embellishments, plus a coordinating 3D purse box that is perfect for a gift card or little birthday treat. 👛🌸

The full project details and purse box cut-and-score diagram are on the blog.

Visit the link in my bio to see how I made them.

Which one are you making first, the shaker card or purse box?

Christmas in July has officially entered the craft Christmas in July has officially entered the craft room. 🎄

For this month’s Team Stamp It Blog Hop, I created a Surprise Pop-Out Panel Card using the Woodland Wishes Stamp Set and A Stitched Season Designer Series Paper.

The closed card is wrapped with a removable belly band featuring oversized JOY letters, gold-striped ribbon, and rhinestones. Slide off the band and open the card to reveal a hand-colored woodland panel that pops forward from the center.

Fancy-fold drama without fancy-fold nonsense. We love to see it. 😉

The woodland image was colored with Watercolor Pencils and softened with Blender Pens. The complete tutorial includes:

All cutting measurements
Every score-line measurement
The hidden pop-out panel construction
Belly band instructions
Watercolor Pencil color guide
Full supply list
The complete Christmas in July Blog Hop

Tell me below: would you make this card with the woodland image or swap in another tall Christmas scene?

The June 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit, Bikes & Blooms, g The June 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit, Bikes & Blooms, got a crafty little makeover. 🚲🌿

For this month’s A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop, I created a coordinating handmade card and a 3D Bicycle Basket Treat Box using pieces from the kit.

The treat box is sized to fit the landscape bicycle image, and I included the cut-and-score details in the blog post. Because we love a pretty project, but we love one that actually measures correctly even more. 😉

Comment BIKE, and I’ll send you the link.
