Hi Friends!
The September 2026 Aspens of Gratitude Paper Pumpkin Kit has such a beautiful fall feel, with woodland-inspired designs and that gorgeous hand-painted watercolour look.
But instead of making the projects exactly as designed, I decided to play with the supplies and see what else I could create!
I came up with three alternative cards using the Aspens of Gratitude kit, and in my video tutorial I’ll take you through each one from beginning to end.
That is one of my favourite things about Paper Pumpkin. You can certainly open the box and create the projects exactly as Stampin’ Up! intended, but you can also use the pieces as a starting point and make something completely different. Sometimes all it takes is changing a layout, adding a little cardstock or looking at one of the kit elements in a different way.
For these three alternatives, I’ll share the measurements and supplies along with the complete tutorials so you can recreate the cards or use the ideas as inspiration for your own Aspens of Gratitude kit.
If you have this month’s Paper Pumpkin, pull it out and create along with me!
And if you make your own alternatives, I’d love to see what you come up with. 💜
