Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Fall for Toile Alternative Cards using the Fall for Toile September 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit by Stampin’ Up! I made a total of 6 alternative cards, but I’m only sharing 5 here. The other one will be posted soon.
But, first, here are the three cards that the kit makes. Celebrate the harvest season with elegant cards inspired by autumn’s beauty. The Fall for Toile Paper Pumpkin Refill includes printed card bases and coordinating envelopes, precut paper and foil pieces, grosgrain ribbon, and everything else you need to continue crafting upscale cards with rich seasonal details.
The Details of My Fall for Toile Alternative Cards
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.
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.
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.
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.
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”.
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 Easel Card
For this alternative card, I decided to create a simple easel card using the same design as the kit but added a score down the front at 2-1/8” to create my fold.
For the inside, I cut apart an envelope and used a strip from the flap to add interest. The circle with the acorn was popped up to create my stopper.

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.
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.
