From Kit to Custom: Alternative Cards with the Hearts For You Paper Pumpkin Kit

 Hi Friends!

Recently, I did a live presentation featuring the January Paper Pumpkin Kit: Hearts For You, and let’s just say creativity took over. The kit was designed to make a bunch of beautiful projects, but sometimes, it’s fun to shake things up and see where inspiration leads. With a little help from viewers, three completely unique alternative cards came to life, proving that this kit has way more possibilities than what’s shown in the instructions.

The best part? No overthinking, no second-guessing—just playing with the pieces and seeing what works. Sometimes it was as simple as shifting a die-cut or layering an element in a different way, and suddenly, a whole new design appeared. A mix of stamping, clever paper placement, and just the right details turned the pre-cut elements into something fresh and unexpected.

If you love a kit that gives you room to explore, this one delivers. Whether you follow the original designs or go rogue and create something completely different, there’s no wrong way to use it. 

Paper Pumpkin subscribers who get their kits through me receive an extra creative boost each month—a free PDF packed with up to 12 alternative card ideas! It’s the perfect way to stretch your kit even further, with fresh designs and inspiration that make each month’s box even more exciting. If you’re not already a subscriber, now’s the time to join in and see just how much fun these kits can be.

The step-by-step video tutorial below walks through each alternative card, showing just how easy it is to take the pieces and make them your own.
