Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Grad Accordion Alternative Card using the Sparkling Celebrations May 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit by Stampin’ Up!
The Details of My Grad Accordion Alternative Card
I needed a grad card and thought this kit with the fireworks would make a fun accordion card! A special fun fold for a special grad!
So, I cut and scored my Basic White card base according to the measurements below. If you didn’t have a 12” x 12” piece of card stock, you could use 2 pieces of card stock that measure 7 ½” x 5 ½” and 7” x 5 ½” and adhere them together to create your 11-7/8” x 5 ½”. But I wanted to make it easy for me. So, I used one piece of Basic White card stock. Lol!
Grad Card Standing Up
Once the card base was done, I used the Blue Sky Card Bases in the Kit to create my panels. You will need a full card base and part of another one. For the inside sentiment panel, I used a Coastal Cabana mat with a Basic White piece for the written area.
Front of Grad Card
For the front panel, I popped up the Fireworks Cluster Ephemera and adhered the half firework behind it.
The sentiment from the retired Blue Ribbon Stamp Set was stamped in Misty Moonlight on the sentiment starburst provided in the Kit and then popped in behind the Fireworks Cluster Ephemera.
Next, I used the retired Playful Alphabet Dies for my Basic White “2026” and adhered them to the firework cluster.
Inside of Grad Card
For the inside panels, I popped up the smaller fireworks on two of them so that they can be seen when the card is closed and adhered the second half firework to the last panel.
Inside of Grad Card Laid Flat
The finishing touches were to add some diplomas, a grad hat and the gems that came in the Kit. I love the whimsical placement of the hat on the “0” of the year!

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Father’s Day Alternative Card using the Lakeside Retreat April 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit by Stampin’ Up! I made a total of 5 alternative cards that were all fun folds.
For my card, I was inspired by a video that Connie Stewart from Simply Simple Stamping did recently, but I decided to use this Paper Pumpkin. If you wish to find out more about her cards, please click here.
The Details of My Father’s Day Alternative Card
I really enjoyed making this card my own by using the Paper Pumpkin Kit! I built the card exactly to Connie’s Instructions using Pecan Pie to match my papers, but from there I changed things up.
For the front Mini Card, I used a piece of the wood grain card base as my background. Then, I stamped my sentiment in the sentiment piece provided in the kit. This was mounted onto the Pecan Pie Board Ephemera. Next, I built my chair using some scraps of Country Woods DSP and added Peaceful Pine accessories. I thought having the sign hang from one of the oars ephemera would look neat.
Triple Fold Reveal Card
For the Dock Scene, I stamped the birds and the bullrushes and added the Self-adhesive pebble embellishments. To balance this, I added the trimmed down strip of plaid included in the Kit.
Inside of Front Card
The beach scene was trimmed down, stamped with the birds and adhered to the inside of the Mini Card.
Inside of Mini Card
For the inside of my card, I added a trimmed down Plaid Card Base on one side and a strip of Envelope on the other. The “Relax” sentiment from the Relaxing Waterside Bundle and the bullrushes were stamped on the Basic White Mini Card.
Inside Card within a Card
Next, I stamped the larger Basic White with more bullrushes and another sentiment from the Relaxing Waterside Bundle to complete my card within a card.

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Dutch Door Alternative Card using the Lakeside Retreat April 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit by Stampin’ Up! I made a total of 5 alternative cards that were all fun folds.
The Details of My Dutch Door Alternative Card
For my alternative card, I thought I would make a fun Dutch Door card. The scene on the circle that comes in the Kit was perfect for this type of card!
So, I cut and scored my Basic White card bases according to the measurements below. I adhered the smaller piece to the inside of the larger piece making sure to line up the centre panel with the bottom. Once you add the mat and sentiment piece to the inside, you will not notice the seam.
Side View of Card
Next, I trimmed down my card bases and matted them with 1/8” mat of Misty Moonlight. I loved how the mat adds a nice finishing touch.
Card Laid Flat
Then, I adhered the scene to the Pecan Pie mat the came in the Kit. This was popped up on the top flap. I stamped and added the sentiment from the Relaxing Waterside Bundle. I die cut the Adirondak chair from the Relaxing Waterside Dies using Pecan Pie Two-Tone Cardstock. This allowed me to use the two different sides to add visual interest. One for the seat and the lighter side for the chair back. I slightly overlapped the finished chair with the sentiment. The life jacket was popped up and used to balance out the chair.
Inside of Card
For the inside, I stamped the “Happy Birthday” sentiment from the Kit. The bullrushes from the Kit were stamped full and then off twice to add dimension. This was then matted onto a Misty Moonlight 1/8” mat to mirror the mats on the front.
All that was left was to add the Faux Bronze Pentagons.

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Triple Step Faux Alternative Card using the Lakeside Retreat April 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit by Stampin’ Up! I made a total of 5 alternative cards that were all fun folds.
My Template
For this alternative card, I saw a video that made a triple faux step card that was 5” x 7”, but I wanted to make an A2 version. So, I created my own by designing a template using a recycled paper bag.
My Template
I started with a three step card base and scored it according to the measurements below. Then, I went with a regular 3” wide central panel, but I trimmed the 8 ½” height down by 1/8” since the front sits inside the first step. This allowed it to fit into a regular envelope. Otherwise, it would be too tall…I learned this from trial and by error. Lol! This central panel was scored in half. The two side panels were 1” wide and scored according to the measurements below. This gives you a very slight gap between all the panels when adhered to the card base.
My Card Base Before Adding Details
The Details of My Triple Faux Step Alternative Card
Now that I had all my card base pieces cut and scored, I decorated them with the Scene Card Base from the Paper Pumpkin Kit, But you could use the Waterside Retreat DSP instead. I used both the front and back of the card base from the Kit.
For the front scene, I trimmed ¼” off the bottom of the card front. I wanted more sky to show in the central panel while allowing the scenes to line up across the panels. Then, I trimmed ¾” off each side which left the 2 ¾” for the central part. Next, I trimmed down each panel to the height I wanted using the measurements below.
Left Side of Card
For the Plaid Card Back, I turned it horizontally to cut my pieces for the front of the steps. I was able to get the two larger pieces cut from the back. The front step was the plaid strip that was included in the kit trimmed down to fit (¾” x 5 ¼”).
Next, I embossed the Peaceful Pine strips for the back of the steps with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder. I also matted all my “scenes” and “plaid” pieces with a 1/8” mat of Peaceful Pine card stock.
Top View of Card
Now, that all my pieces were cut, I stamped the “Happy Birthday” sentiment and the birds on the central panel using the Kit’s Stamp Set. I also stamped the “This is Your Day” Sentiment and the inside using the Relaxing Waterside Stamp Set.
Left Side of Card
Then, I adhered all the pieces together including the inside pieces. Note: Adhere the back of the central panel to the back of large step and the front to the front of the middle step. Adhere small panels to back of the middle step and to the front of the small step.
Finally, I die cut the Adirondak chair from the Relaxing Waterside Dies using Pecan Pie Two-Tone Cardstock. This allowed me to use the two different sides to add visual interest. One for the seat and the lighter side for the chair back. I added some Peaceful Pine accents to the chair to tie in my colour scheme. In addition to this, I added some Garden Green bullrushes with darker Pecan Pie cattails.
Close Up of Right Side
All that was left was to add the ephemera and Self-adhesive pebble embellishments.

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Standing Double Z-Fold 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. I have included a photo of all the cards at the end of this post and links for more details.
The Details of My Standing Double Z-Fold Card
For this alternative card using the February 2026 Celebrate Spring Paper Pumpkin Kit, I made a stand up double z-fold card. Again, this is another card that I haven’t made before but thought it would be fun to use the floral oval for it. Plus, it looked like an Easter Egg when closed!
My Standing Double Z-Fold Card
I used from the Arches Dies the largest one for the Shy Shamrock base, third largest one for the Lemon Lolly and the fifth largest one for the Pretty in Pink. I watched a video by Jill Casteel Blanchett from Green Thumb Stampers to help with the process.
For the Shy Shamrock base, I folded it in half and used the Arch Die to cut it out, but I made sure that the straight bottom of the die was hanging off the card stock. This kept them attached. Then, I folded the bottom arch in half to create my first z-fold.
Next, I die cut the Lemon Lolly arches and adhered them to the Sky Shamrock card base.
Side View of Card
For the Pretty in Pink piece, I did the same as the Shy Shamrock, but I made sure that the arch part was where the die hung off the edge of the card stock. Then, I turned the die around and ran the card stock through the arch die only at the top to get a finished arch. I folded one of the arches in half to create the second z-fold.
A Basic White arch was added to the back of the card to write a message.
All that was left was to add the twine, ephemera and sequins to my card.

Stamps: February 2026 Celebrate Spring Paper Pumpkin Kit

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My WV 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. I have included a photo of all the cards at the end of this post and links for more details.
The Details of My WV Alternative Card
For this alternative card, I wanted to use the card base with the square and build it up which led me to a WV fun fold. I haven’t made this fold before, but I thought it would work perfectly for my card!
The Front of My WV Fun Fold Card
First, I scored my Sky Shamrock card base according to the measurements below. Then, I trimmed apart my green card from the Kit keeping the Square Printed Front for inside and two strips from the back of the card for the panels. I embossed these two strips and two Basic White strips with the Beautiful Pattern 3D Embossing Folder and adhered them to my card base. For the Square Printed Front, I trimmed it down on all sides so that the square remained in the centre.
Next, I stamped the sentiments in Shy Shamrock on two of the square sentiment tags that come in the Kit. I used a retired stamp set for the front since I wanted a religious sentiment and stamped Happy Easter inside from the stamp set in the Kit. Since the square sentiment tags are not exactly square, I had to create a small custom card for them. Lol!
My WV Card Standing Up
For the small card, I centred it in the Square Printed Front on the card base before adding glue. Then, I lifted the front of the smaller card added glue where I needed it and closed the left flaps to adhere it in place. Next, I added glue to the other side of the small card, closed all the flaps and adhered it to the front of my card base. This allowed me to have my card positioned perfectly when the card was closed.
All that was left was to add the ephemera and sequins.

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.
Side View of Centre-Step Card
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.

The Details of My Secret Slider Alternative Card
I have been wanting to create a secret slider card and decided that the basket would make a great focal point on the left. Of course, I just had to have the bunny in the basket holding an Easter egg! He filled in the space nicely!
Front of My Secret Slider Card
I stamped the grass in Shy Shamrock on a leftover piece of Balmy Blue card front even though you can’t see the flowers. Then, I stamped the egg and the sentiment tag provided.
Once the stamping was done, it was time to build the card. So, I used one of the Lemon Lolly card bases and cut it apart to create my card background. You could use a whole Lemon Lolly card base, but I wanted to use part of it for my mat on the front.
Then, I scored the Sky Shamrock card stock according to the measurements below.
I decorated the front flap with the Lemon Lolly mat followed by the Balmy Blue. Then, I added my focal point of the basket with the bunny.
Inside Secret Slider Card
For the inside, I used the Easter Joy DSP to decorate the flaps. Then, I scored a leftover Balmy Blue card back according to the measurements below. I stamped the sentiment on the Basic White and added it to the Balmy Blue. The small flap was adhered to the left panel near the fold. Once that was done the right panel was adhered at the top and bottom with the sentiment piece slotted in between.
The finishing touch was to add the daffodils, twine and sequins to the front of my card.

Two cards I created using the February 2026 Celebrate Spring Paper Pumpkin Kit were easel cards. I scored the fronts at 2-1/8”. For one, I followed the instructions and just added a strip of envelop with a Shy Shamrock mat for the inside stopper. For the other, I used the floral oval and added some stamped Easter eggs in matching colours.
My Easel Cards
For another alternative card, I create a regular card using the leftover pieces from the other cards. I used the Arch Dies to create a fun focal point that allowed the Easter eggs to be “hidden” amongst the grass and flowers. For the extra eggs, I used the leftover frame from the punched out eggs to trace the outline of the eggs and fussy cut them out. I used a piece of leftover envelope flap for one, Lemon Lolly card stock for the other and a stamped egg from the Kit for the final one.

The Details of My Beautiful Valentine Cards
My Gate Fold Card
For my card, I used one of the note cards in the kit but scored it at 1-7/8” and 5-5/8” to create my gate. Next, I cut apart a blue envelope from the kit to decorate the front of my card. I trimmed down the front of the envelope so that the address label was centred. I kept 2 strips of leftover envelope for the inside of my card.
My Gate Fold Card
For my focal point, I used the blue flowers ephemera and centred it in the address label. I stamped the “Love Heart” sentiment in Blueberry Bushel and used a circle die to cut it out. Then, I used a Spotlight in Nature die to die cut a Blueberry Bushel mat. A scattering of Rhinestones added sparkle.
Inside Panel of Gate Fold Card
For the inside gate part, I used the postage die from the Beautiful Blooms Add-on Dies to die cut a Basic White piece on which I stamped the sentiment and roses from the Kit. This was matted with a Blueberry Bushel mat. A strip of the envelope was tucked in behind this to tie in the front.
Inside Gate Fold Card
Since the original fold for the card was on the inside, I added a Blueberry Bushel mat to cover it up. Then, I stamped the sentiment on Basic White and added a strip of the envelope making sure that it lined up with the strip on the inside gate part.

My Bridge Card
For my next alternative card, I decided to create a bridge card using the pink plaid card base from the Kit. The floral postage ephemera was perfect for this kind of card! So, I cut the front at 1” and 4 ½” up to the fold to create my 3 panels.
My Bridge Card
Next, I stamped my “Love Heart” sentiments in various places while I had the floral ephemera in place. Then, I used the Foam Adhesive Sheets to die cut a Poppy Parade “Beautiful” from the Beautiful Blooms Add-on Dies. I only added 2 popped up flowers to my card front and reserved the other one for the inside.
Inside Panel of Bridge Card
Once the front was done, it was time to work on the inside panel. Again, I stamped the “Love Heart” sentiments but made sure they were hidden when the card was closed. I used the postage die from the Beautiful Blooms Add-on Dies to die cut a Garden Green piece for my background. I decorated it with 2 postage stamp ephemeras and the remaining flower.
Inside Bridge Card
For the inside, I placed strips of leftover envelope from the prior card and placed them on either side. Then, I stamped the 2 sentiment stamps to complete my card.

My Easel Card
For my next alternative card using the January 2026 Special Delivery Paper Pumpkin Kit, I made an easel card.
Easel Card
For this card, I used the leftover frame from the punched out postage ephemera. I love this idea of repurposing pieces that would otherwise be thrown out!
First, I created my card base according to the measurements below. Then, I added a Poppy Parade mat and a stamped Bubble Bath mat so that the stamping would show through the empty spots in the frame.
Easel Card Open
Next, I decided to use the leftover postage ephemeras from the card above but popped them up from the frame. I placed 4 of them in their matching spots but I moved the small rose one to give support to my “Beautiful” die cut. To add interest and fill in space, I added a heart puffy sticker from the Softest Spring Mix & Match Puffy Stickers above the “Beautiful” sentiment.
Side View of Easel Card
Finally, for the inside, I used a leftover strip from the blue envelope and matted it with Poppy Parade. “Sending Love” was stamped on a circle from the kit and popped up.

My Other Alternative Cards
Here are my other alternative cards that created using the Special Delivery January 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit. These final cards are regular card bases using the elements from the Kit with the addition of card stock and the Beautiful Blooms Add-on Dies.
MySketch Card
Stampin’ Up! has a sketch challenge going on and I thought the postage stamps ephemera lent themselves to it. #CreativeChallengeSU
Stampin’ Up! Sketch
I used one of the card bases and added a strip from one of the green envelopes to the top of my card. To add interest, I added a die cut gold “Beautiful” and a thin gold border to my header. Then, I layered the ephemera according to the sketch. I decided to add some gold embossed “Love Heart” sentiments as the smaller elements in the sketch. These were punched out with a 1” punch from my stash. I also gold embossed the “Happy Valentine’s” sentiment. Lots of golden accents for this card!
My Sketch Card
Puppy Valentine Card
For my last alternative card, my puppy literally ate part of my card! Lol! I was working on my cards and noticed that my puppy was chewing! I had dropped the green leaves and he discovered them. The top is a photo of what was left of it after he snacked on it.
Leftovers from Puppy
So, it became part of one of my alternative cards! I kept the background the same as the card in the kit but added a Garden Green backdrop to my rose. For the rose, I cut the bottom row of petals off, glued them down and then used dimensionals to pop up the central part. It gave it a fun 3D look!
Puppy Valentine Card
Then, I tucked in the remaining leaves around the rose. I used the Foam Adhesive Sheets to die cut a poppy Parade “Beautiful” from the Beautiful Blooms Add-on Dies. Can you tell I love this die cut word! I used it on 4 of my 5 alternative cards! Lol!
As a finishing touch I added a butterfly puffy sticker from the Softest Spring Mix & Match Puffy Stickers.

The Details of My Watercolor Thank You Cards
My Twisty Thank You Card
For my card, I used a 5 ½” x 11” Basic White card base and scored it according to the measurements below. Then, I layered a Night of Navy mat with a Shaded Spruce mat. The final layer was the envelope from the Kit trimmed down to fit.
My Twisty Thank You Card
For my focal point, I used a leftover card base from the kit and matted it with Night of Navy. The sentiment was stamped and die cut out with one of the Spotlight on Nature Dies. To add visual interest, I added a Garden Green leafy vine from the Nature’s Symphony Dies and popped up some flowers from the Abundant Joy Add-on Dies. The finishing touch were some copper sequins that came in the kit.

Inside of My Twisty Thank You Card
Now, for the inside! I decided to use the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder to emboss the Basic White strips. These were layered onto Shaded Spruce mats.
Inside of Card
Once that was done, it was time to add my tags. I die cut them twice. Once using the card bases and then again with Shaded Spruce and adhered them together. The sentiment was stamped and die cut with a rectangle from the Textured Notes Dies and adhered to the Shaded Spruce side. Some Baker’s Twine from my stash finished them.
Flipped Inside Tags and Sentiments
To adhere them correctly, it is best to have the inside of the card fully opened. This will help to get the sentiment facing the correct way. I learned the hard way! It took me a couple tries before I had it! Lol!
All Inside Sentiments Displayed
Don’t you just love that when you open the card you get the first set of sentiments and then you keep opening and the sentiments flip to see the other side of them. When the card is fully open, you get all three sentiments displayed.

My Double Flap Fun Fold Card
For my next alternative card, I had a number of scraps leftover from my other alternative cards. So, I decided to create this fun fold that is like a card within a card.
My Double Flap Fun Fold Card
I used the negative oval frame from when I made my other cards and layered it onto a Shaded Spruce mat. This is a great way to use up scraps that you would otherwise throw out and extend their use! I stamped the sentiment on an oval from the kit and added some stamped accents to fill the space. A Shaded Spruce flower from the Abundant Joy Add-on Dies was popped up for interest. A scattering of copper sequins from the Kit were added for sparkle.
Close Up of Focal Point
Once the focal point was done, it was time to work on the card base. I used an 8 ¼” x 4 ¼” Basic White card base scored at 5 ½”. For the front flap, I used a Shaded Spruce Mat with the part of the leafy card base. The focal point was popped up on the front flap of the card.
Inside of My Double Flap Fun Fold Card
Inside of Card
For the inside, I used a Shaded Spruce Mat and embossed a Secret Sea piece with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder. This created the foundation for my smaller inside card which measured 9” x 3 ¼” and scored at 4 ½”. I decorated the inside card front with another Shaded Spruce mat and a part of the leafy card base from the kit with some die cut Basic White flowers. I stamped the sentiment on a sentiment strip from the kit and layered some leaves and a Secret Sea flower around it.
Inside of Smaller Card
The inside of the smaller card consisted of a Shaded Spruce Mat with a Basic White message area where I stamped the third sentiment. I love that all the sentiments in the Kit go together so well! I added a left over strip of the leafy card front.

My Faux-Step Card
For my next alternative card using the Watercolor in Bloom December 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit, I made a faux-step card. I shared this in my Facebook Group and there was a lot of interest in it. So, I decided to share it here too.
My Faux-Step Card
First, I measured and scored the two pieces for the card base according to the measurements below. Then, I used the preprinted rectangle piece and trimmed a little off the top and bottom to fit my card. This was matted with a Night of Navy piece. The sentiment was stamped on a rectangle provided in the Kit and decorated like the instructions mentioned.
Side View of Card
Next, I trimmed down an envelope to create my bottom panel which I matted with Night of Navy. I love that the envelopes are printed allowing greater card making capabilities!
Finally, for the inside panel, I used part of a card base provided in the Kit and matted it with Night of Navy.

My Other Alternative Watercolor Thank You Cards
Here are my other alternative cards that created using the Watercolor in Bloom December 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit.
First, I created a fun centre-step card. I made the focal point for the centre panel as directed in the instructions but adhered it to my favourite fun fold! I trimmed down a card base for my sides and bottom panels.
Centre-Step Card
Next, I created a fun barn door card. I trimmed the card base at 2 3/4” to create my door. Then I added a piece of Eyelet 3D Embossed Pretty Peacock that measured 2 3/4” x 4” on the inside in the opening. I created my focal point and adhered only the bottom half to the front of the card.
Barn Door Card
Then, I created an easy z-fold card. I made the front focal point the same as the instructions but used the oval on the inside to create a place to write a message. I also used the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder behind the oval to add interest and fill in the space.
Z-Fold Card
The next card that I created was a book binding card with the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder for the binding and White Baker’s Twine.
Book Binding Card
These final cards are regular card bases using the elements from the Kit with the addition of card stock and the Abundant Joy Add-on Dies.

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my alternative Thankful Shutter Card using the September 2025 Fall for Toile Paper Pumpkin Kit. This weekend was our Canadian Thanksgiving. So, I thought a tri-fold shutter card would be a fun card to make for it.
The Details of My Thankful Shutter Card
For my fun-fold card, the only additional things that I added were a Very Vanilla card base, Cajun Craze mats and some Timid Tiger leaves using the add on Circle of Seasons Dies. Everything else was from the kit.
Once I followed the template posted below for the measurements of my card, it was time to decorate it.
Top View of My Thankful Shutter Card
I knew that I wanted to use the frame and the Thankful sentiment on the front of my card. The ribbon added a nice element to decorate the panel beneath it. I also knew that I wanted to use the gorgeous toile card for my two largest panels on the front and the sentiment on the inside.
Front of Card Folded To A2 Card Size
For the inside, I stamped the leaves and pumpkins on the white card base pieces in Cajun Craze. To decorate the stamped leaves, I added a die cut Timid Tiger leaf using the Circle of Seasons Dies in each square.
Card Laid Flat
Next, I created my inside sentiment focal point using the circle with the sentiment stamped. I added the fox from the kit and two bronze leaves to balance him out.

My Centre-Step Card
For my first alternative card, I used my favourite fun fold and create a centre-step card! I thought this fold would be a fun way to have the leaves extend past the centre panel. I created my focal point using the directions from the kit but just placed it on the centre panel. For the centre panel, I embossed a piece of Cajun Craze with the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder to add visual interest without detracting from the focal point.
My Centre-Step Card
Next, I stamped the white printed card base pieces with the leaves just like in the original directions. A piece of the grid printed card base was added at the bottom.

My Double Z-Fold Card
For my second alternative card, I decided to create a double z-fold card. I thought it would be a fun alternative card for this Paper Pumpkin.
My Double Z-Fold Card
So, I cut apart a toile card base to use it for the two layers. For the front, I made it similar to the design used in the kit and matted it with Cajun Craze card stock.
Top View of My Double Z-Fold Card
Since the other z-fold was inside, I kept is simple and just added the toile paper and a Cajun Craze mat to keep it from being too bulky.

Finally, I added a piece of Very Vanilla to the inside on which I stamped a sentiment and leaves.

My Triple Panel Bridge Card
For my next Fall for Toile Alternative Card using Fall for Toile September 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit, I made a triple panel bridge card.
My Triple Panel Bridge Card
So, I took a white printed card base and cut with my Paper Trimmer 1” in on either side of the front to create 3 panels. The Precut Corn Field fit perfectly for my bridge on the front. I added the pumpkins and used the Gift of Fall August 2019 Paper Pumpkin to stamp the “Happy Thanksgiving”.
Middle Panel of My Triple Panel Bridge Card
For the middle panel, I added a piece of the grid printed card base and then mounted the round circle with the stamped the sentiment. A scattering of die cut leaves using the Circle of Seasons Dies added a whimsical feel. Two strips of Cajun Craze embossed with the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder were adhered to the card base on either side of the middle panel.

Finally for the inside, I stamped a sentiment from the same Gift of Fall Paper Pumpkin Kit since we have a friend coming for Thanksgiving. The embossed Cajun Craze pieces frame the sentiment perfectly.

My Hello Thanksgiving Card
For my last alternative card, I had a number of pieces leftover and decided to use what I could. So, I use the leftover toile card base and added a Cajun Craze border. This I mounted onto a white printed card mat and then onto a Cajun Craze card base.
My Hello Thanksgiving Card
To help anchor the leaves, I die cut a circle using the Circle of Seasons Dies from the leftover envelope. Next, I die cut the “Hello” and added it to the circle. The Happy Thanksgiving was stamped using the same Gift of Fall Paper Pumpkin Kit onto the flag. The acorn circle helped to finish off the sentiment and balance out the one copper leaf I had leftover.

The Details of My Farmhouse Florals Alternative Cards – Set 2
My Z-Fold Flip-Flap Card
For my first alternative card of this set, I created a z-fold card with a flip-flap on the front. Since the typewriter was small, I thought a small flip-flap would be a good way to highlight it. I used my Subtles Embossing Folder to emboss the front of the card base and then folded it in half at 2-1/8”.
Once that was time, it was time to build my focal point. I used the Timeless Plaid Designer Series Paper for another card and decided to use it again to with a Secret Sea mat to anchor my flip-flap. This DSP goes perfectly with the Kit!
My Z-Fold Flip-Flap Card
For the flip-flap, I used a 3” Lost Lagoon Card base on which I added a piece of Secret Sea that was embossed with the Subtles Folder. On the front, I used the Circle of Seasons Dies for the circle cut from an envelope, the Lost Lagoon “hello” and the Calypso Coral flowers.
For the inside, I stamped a piece of envelope, matted it with Secret Sea and added a strip of the printed envelope for my background. Upon this, I added the typewriter with the stamped Just a note. For a pop of colour, I added the yellow flowers.
Inside Flip-Flap
Next, I added a stamped piece on the inside using scraps from an envelope and a Lost Lagoon mat. I made this the same size at the front so that it was a surprise when it was opened.

The finishing touch was to add some small pearls to the centre of my flowers on the front.

My Love Note Card
For my second alternative card using the Farmhouse Florals Kit, I decided to create a card using one of the typewriter card bases from the kit. The printed card bases allowed me to create 4 alternative cards instead of the 2 cards left in the kit. Have to love when you can make more cards by just adding some card stock to the existing kit!
My Love Note Card
I trimmed down the card base from the kit to fit it onto my Lost Lagoon card base. I added a small border of Secret Sea to the top of my card to balance out the bottom printed border. Next, I added the “hello” from the Circle of Seasons Dies. To give it dimension, I die cut it 3 times and glued them together. I thought adding it to where the paper in the typewriter was, gave it a whimsical touch. I stamped the sentiment and tied it with the twine through the “o” of the “hello”. The only other thing was to add some of the floral clusters pre-cut pieces around the “hello”.

My Pop-Up Lunch Note Card
For my next alternative card using Farmhouse Foral August 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit, I made a Pop-Up Lunch Note Card. I shared this card at the beginning of September when school was starting as something to pop into a lunch bucket for the first day of school. It was a big hit, and I was asked for measurements. So, I thought I would add it to my list of cards.
My Pop-Up Lunch Note Card
This card is very similar to the Flip-Flap of my first card, but this card came first! Lol! I used my Subtles Folder to emboss the Lost Lagoon on the front. Next, I added the die cut circle using scraps from an envelope, the Secret Sea die cut “hello”, the stamped sentiment and yellow flowers with the twine.
Inside of Card
For the inside, I thought a fun pop-up typewriter with an encouraging sentiment from the Sunrise Sailing Stamp Set would be fun! I stamped the sentiment onto a scrap of white envelope and added a scrap of the printed blue envelop to the top. All this was matted onto a piece of Lost Lagoon. Next, I created a very simple mechanism for my typewriter (see measurements below). To add a bit of colour, I used some of the floral pre-cut pieces.

The Details of My Farmhouse Florals Alternative Cards – Set 1
My Centre-Step Card
For my first alternative card, I used my favourite fun fold and create a centre-step card! I thought this fold would be a fun way to use the handbag card base with the precut handbag that extended past the centre panel.
The only extra products that I added were the Lost Lagoon card base which was cut and scored according to the template below and the Calypso Coral “hello” using the Circle of Seasons Dies add-on. I die cut the hello three times and glued them together to give it dimension.
Centre-Step Card
For my card, I only used the front of the handbag card base. First, I cut off the bottom of the card base for the bottom panel. The bottom of the handbag from the card base will be seen, but once the precut handbag is added on top, it will be covered up.
Side View of Centre-Step Card
For the centre panel, I figured out where the centre of the card base was and made my measurements going from the inside out. This allowed the floral image to continue onto the side panels. To line up the flowers I had trim the sides down resulting them in being short So, I added a small square of the envelop at the bottom of my side panels to fill in the space.
The finishing touch was to pop-up the handbag, add the flowers and sentiment with twine just like it the original card.
Measurements:
Lost Lagoon Card Base:
11” x 4 ¼” cut/scored according to template below
Centre Panel:

My Z-Fold Card
For my second alternative card, I decided to create a z-fold card using the printed part of the envelope for the inside panel. So, I scored the front of the Card Base from the Kit in half at 2-1/8” to create my fold. Then, I used the retired Subtles Embossing Folder to add some interest to the front of my card.
My Z-Fold Card
I loved the window precut piece! So, the only thing I added was a die cut Calypso Coral “Hello” with a stamped sentiment tucked in behind it.
Inside of Z-Fold Card
For the inside, I just trimmed off one of the envelope flaps. I found this added interest and colour to the inside of my card.
A bow made with the twine was all it needed for embellishments.

My Half-Front Card
For my next Farmhouse Florals Alternative Card using Farmhouse Foral August 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit, I made a half-front card.
This card was cased from Laura Seki with a few tweaks from me. Loved how easy it was to create this card! First, I used my retired Subtles Embossing fold on the front again. Then, I cut the front in half and adhered the right side down to the inside card base.
My Half-Front Card
For this card, the only extra product that I used was a piece of the printed envelop behind my sentiment.

My Hello Card
For my final Farmhouse Florals Alternative Card, I had the back of one of the card bases leftover. So, I decided to use it and added a Lost Lagoon card base with the last window pre-cut piece.
My Hello Card
The Timeless Plaid Designer Series Paper goes perfectly with the colours. So, I added a piece with a Secret Sea mat to help ground my window. I did some stamping to add interest where the top edge of my DSP ended.
As you might have noticed, I love the Circle of Seasons Dies add-on and used the “Hello” again on this card. I die cut it three times and glued them together. It just adds interest without being over the top!
The finishing touch was the stamped sentiment and a bow from the twine.

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Daisy Daydream Alternative Cards using the Daisy Daydream March 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit by Stampin’ Up! I loved this kit with its pretty paper pieces (especially those bees!), printed cards and envelopes! So, I made five alternative cards with only adding Balmy Blue card stock to two of them.
But, first, here are the three cards that the kit makes. Perfect for all occasions, these beautifully crafted cards bring a touch of nature-inspired charm to your handmade creations.
Daisy Daydream March 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit
The Details of My Daisy Daydream Alternative Cards
My Centre-Step Card
For my first alternative card, I used my favourite fun fold and create a centre-step card! The beautiful printed card bases lend themselves to this fun fold. The only extra product that I added was the Balmy Blue card base which was cut and scored according to the template below.
My Centre-Step Card
For the centre panel, I cut the front of one of the daisy cards in half and used the right side for my centre panel. Next, I popped up a large daisy at the top and tucked in a honeycomb piece so that it hung off the edge.
The side panels were from the envelope with the daisies on the front that I cut apart. Since the panels were so thin, I was able to cut both panels using just the front left side of the envelope.
Side View of Centre-Step Card
For the bottom panel, I added the daisy chain behind my sentiment and tucked in another honeycomb hanging off the edge of the centre panel. The daisy chain was a little long. So, I used my paper snips and trimmed off the green leaves on either side of it.
The finishing touch was the bee popped up on the centre panel. You might notice that I again had the bee hanging off the edge of the centre panel. I loved this look which added visual interest and brought the eye to the back panels.
Measurements:
Card Base:
11” x 4 ¼” cut/scored according to template below
Centre Panel:
2-1/8” x 5-3/8”
2 Side Strips (from Envelope):
7/8” x 4-3/8”
Other Pieces from Kit:
Daisy Precut Paper Pieces
Bee Precut Paper Piece
Honeycomb Paper Pieces
Sentiment Piece
My Easel Card
For my second alternative card, I decided to create an easel card with the daisy chain being used inside as my stopper. So, I scored the front of the Blue Card Base from the Kit in half at 2-1/8” to create my fold.
I used the remaining half of the Daisy card front and cut the back of that card base in half to use one panel for the front and the other panel on the inside.
My Easel Card
For my focal point, I layered several elements from the Kit. I used the leftover circle from the Circle Layered piece to matt the green circle. Then, I added the full-length daisy making sure that when the card was in easel layout that the daisy did not extend beyond the card at the bottom. I tucked in a honeycomb behind my sentiment and popped up the bee. Note: Only add adhesive to the bottom of this circle focal point.
Easel Card Open
For the inside, I added the final panel from the daisy card base and popped up the daisy chain to create the stopper. I love how this looks when the card is in easel form with the daisy chain mirroring the daisies on the card front.
Measurements:
Blue Card base (from Kit):
4 ¼” x 5 ½” scored at 2-1/8”
Daisy Card Base (3 Pieces):
2” x 5-3/8”
Other Pieces from Kit:
Daisy Precut Paper Pieces
Bee Precut Paper Piece
Honeycomb Paper Piece
Green Circle
Leftover Circle
Sentiment Piece
My Faux-Step Card
For my next alternative card using the Daisy Daydream March 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit, I made a faux-step card.
I used two of the yellow card bases from the kit to create my card. One I trimmed 3 ½” off the full card base to create my centre panel. For the back panels, I used a full card base and scored it according to the measurements listed below. There was a score from the original card that I ignored. Once that panel with the original score was covered up with the card stock and the printed envelop, it was not noticeable. Hence why my mats are 1/8” instead of ¼” …less card base showing.
My Faux-Step Card
For this card, the only extra product that I used was some Balmy Blue Card Stock to mat my pieces. The rest was from envelops which included the front right of the blue envelop and the envelope with the bee on the front. Once the envelope with the bee was cut apart, I was able to use the front piece for the back panel that ran the length of the card. Then, I used the back of the envelope for the bottom panel.
Side of My Faux-Step Card
Again, for my focal point, I layered several pieces from the kit together.
Measurements:
2 Yellow Card Bases:
4 ¼” x 5 ½” scored at 1 ¼”, 2 ½” and 5 ½”
3 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”
Balmy Blue (3 Pieces):
3-3/8” x 4-1/8” (Centre Panel)
1-1/8” x 5-3/8” (Bottom Panel)
2-7/8” x 5-3/8” (Back Panel)
Envelope Pieces:
3 ¼” x 4” (Blue Envelope)
1” x 5 ¼”
2 ¾’ x 5 ¼”
Other Pieces from Kit:
Daisy Precut Paper Piece
Bee Precut Paper Piece
Honeycomb Paper Piece
Green Circle
Sentiment Piece
My Birthday Card
For this alternative card, I decided to use the circle layer on top of the daisy card to create a peekaboo to the daisies below. I added several Daisy Pre-cut Paper Pieces around the sentiment and popped up the bee.

My Thank You Card
For my last alternative card, I had the daisy part leftover from the blue envelop and thought it would be pretty peeking through the circle layer.
My Thank You Card
The daisy just fit in the circle to the point that I adhered it directly to the circle layer. If I had popped it up, the edges would have been noticeable. So, instead, I popped up the whole circle layer.
Once again, I layered several pieces, including a large daisy, sentiment, honeycomb, vellum and a bee, from the kit for my focal point. I added an extra bee since I had one leftover.
