November 2024 Paper Pumpkin Alternative: Filled with Joy
Welcome to our monthly “A Paper Pumpkin Thing” blog hop! Check out this month's Paper Pumpkin alternatives that we created and scroll down to join us on a blog hop to see what our creative friends have made with the contents of the November 2024 Filled with Joy Paper Pumpkin kit. Registration for the next Paper Pumpkin is closing on the tenth of this month so make sure you sign up so you don't miss out on the creativity that is literally delivered to your front door.
For this kit, we created a small gift/treat box and matching card! For the card, we used Pretty in Pink Cardstock for the card base and adhered strips of Basic White Cardstock to the base. We decorated the card with a piece of Pool Party Cardstock embossed with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder then die cut out using the Perennial Postage Dies. We then adhered two ornaments from the kit to the top, die cut the "Christmas" sentiment with the Peaceful Season Dies, and adhered White Loose Snowflakes and the Pretty in Pink Bordered Ribbon to the front.
For the box, we made it out of Pretty in Pink Cardstock and the Perennial Postage Dies and Peaceful Season Dies. Then we decorated it with an ornament form the Paper Pumpkin kit, Pretty in Pink Bordered Ribbon, and the White Loose Snowflakes.
Create cards with hand-sketched botanical designs.

What's Paper Pumpkin?
Paper Pumpkin is the perfect way to jump into the world of paper crafting and get your creative “me-time” every month. Each month, we deliver all the stamps, ink, and paper you need to create a fun project, without any stress. Everything is precut and ready to go so you can skip to the fun part of crafting! Our subscribers always have cards and cute gifts on hand for every occasion. Your first kit includes a free gift from us—a clear stamping block. You’ll also build a collection of stamps and ink to use on other projects. There’s no pressure—you can cancel or suspend at any time.
Every kit includes an exclusive stamp set, ink spot, and embellishments to create a predesigned project. At least six times a year, we send an all card kit with eight or more cards. Sometimes the kit includes cards plus gift bags, banners, treat bags, or boxes. Other times, it’s home décor, giftables, or just treat packaging. No matter what it is—we promise you’ll love it, or we’ll make it right!
