Hello and welcome! I was slightly late getting this posted but here we go! I tried doing a Facebook Live yesterday but technical difficulties got the better of me so I pre-recorded this to make it easier to watch in time for the weekend!
Before I get into it, I have a HOST CODE and I want you to know that when you spend $50 or more (before tax) in the online store with me listed as the demonstrator I will send a FREE Embellishment. This offer is from me and is good between October 7-31, 2021. The products you order from Stampin' Up! will come from them and the Host Code gift will be shipped from me. Be sure to use this code at checkout in the online store so I know to send you your gift. HOST CODE: 4MFA2P3N
Alright, to the fun part! The Alternates!
The October 2021 Paper Pumpkin Kit: Peaceful Christmas, in my opinion, perfectly captures Christmas and here are some fun alternate ideas for you.
I am using the 3-1/8 x 3-1/8" Clear Acetate Boxes and creating belly bands as well as 3 x 3 card ideas that will fit inside the box for adorable stocking stuffers, mini gifts and favors - possibly at your Christmas cardmaking Paper Pumpkin party!
What will fit in these boxes? Tea Bags, Jewelry, monetary gifts, candy, cookies, treats and cute compact crafts (like Stampin' Spots) of course!
These are projects that are perfect for scraps and you can really maximize the use of your kits.
The coordinating colors were used on the projects: Real Red, Basic Gray and Shaded Spruce (with Silver accents).
For the 3 x 3 Cards:
If using cardstock, cut a piece 3 x 6 and score at 3 inches. If using card bases in the Paper Pumpkin kit but cutting to 3 x 3, I suggest using the score line at the 3 inch mark and trim. Turn card base until your card is 3 x 6 and your score line will already be at the 3 inch mark.
For the layering piece: 2-3/4 x 2-3/4"
Have fun combining the embellishments you like best from the kit!

| 3 x 3 Mini Cards and Envelopes - This kit has stamps and die cuts the perfect sizing for mini cards and treat boxes |
For the Acetate Card Box Belly Bands:
I used the card bases from the kit which measure 8-1/2" in length.
Pictured below, two different size bands (2 inches & 1-1/2")
Cut the width to the size you prefer. Leave the length at 8-1/2.
SCORE at 2-1/8, 3, 6-1/8 and 7 inches
There will be an extra score line from the card base being pre-scored. You can either cover it entirely with a layer or cover partially with embellishments. Nobody will notice, in my opinion, but if you prefer to cover it entirely I do show an option for that as well.
