June 2026 Paper Pumpkin ALTERNATE IDEAS

 

I've had Bikes and Blooms on my mind this week!

I have two alternate projects for you today using the June 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit!

If you already used your kit pieces no worries! The REFILL is available in the online store while supplies last! Get it HERE

Reminder: Refills contain consumable kit pieces.
It does NOT include the original stamp set or ink spot.

Must be an active Paper Pumpkin subscriber
to purchase past kits, refills and add ons.

Today's alternate projects feature two products that will be released on July 1, 2026 with the next online exclusives launch:

• Gable Boxes
• Magic and Swirls Embossing Folder

Those two items are part of an upcoming Halloween suite but hopefully today's video will show you these are for just about any occasion!

Demonstrators can preorder these items right now! My suggestion is not to wait on the gable boxes friends when they do launch next Wednesday (7/1/26).

Today's alternate projects rely heavily on the kit! I did use the stamp set, ink and die cut pieces from the kit to decorate these boxes.

I added some Crisp Canteloupe ribbon. I did use a blending brush and for the gable box that is embossed I used a different electronic diecutting machine called an Empress (not Stampin' Up!).

I have not tried this with my Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine yet but I think it could work in the vertical position. I'll keep you posted as I play with these new products more.

I have a machine that has larger plates for large projects and I used that for this alternate.

For the other gable box I used card bases and envelopes to decorate the panels!

For the front and back of box: 4 x 3-1/2"

For the sides of the box: 2-1/2 x 3-1/2"

The die cut half bicycle is a perfect fit! The basket on the largest bike also fits beautifully!

It's so nice to have a matching gift box and card when the occasion calls for it!

I hope you enjoy today's ideas!

Must be an active Paper Pumpkin subscriber to purchase refills, past kits and add ons.

Bikes and Blooms REFILL

Paper Pumpkin posted these two alternate card ideas for the June Kit. I know many of you purchased the Wonderful Scenes Dies because they sold out.

The floral cluster die used (in repeat) on the basket was from that set, but any flower dies of similar shape would work. There are flower dies in the new add on as well that is available in the online store.

I am running an ordering special from May 5 -15, 2026. When you spend $75 or more (before tax) with me in the online store and I’ll send you 3 “mystery” card kits, an exclusive video tutorial and PDF instruction sheet in mid-June 2026. The card kits will be mailed to you via USPS and I’m covering the cost of postage. The video link and PDF will be emailed when the cards are shipped. I will be using Peaceful Pine products and the Relaxing Waterside Bundle for the mystery cards.
