Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Centre-Step Alternative Card using the Celebrate Spring February 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit by Stampin’ Up! I made 7 alternative cards including 6 fun folds and one regular card. There is a photo of all the cards at the end of this post.
The Details of My Centre-Step Alternative Card
For this alternative card using the February 2026 Celebrate Spring Paper Pumpkin Kit, I made my favourite fun fold, a centre-step! I have included a downloadable Centre-Step Template at the end of this post.
I had a piece of the back of the Balmy Blue card base left that was the perfect size for my centre panel. With the basket in place, you did not notice the missing flowers. So, instead, I added the flowers to the side panels by trimming down the card front.
For the bottom panel, I used part of the envelope flap and decided to use it to add visual interest.
All the panels were matted in Basic White to tie in the sentiment piece. The sentiment was stamped in the Sky Shamrock ink provided.
All that was left was to add the basket with the eggs, daffodils, sequins and twine.
