Hello! Merry Christmas Eve! I wish you and your family a safe and happy holiday!
I have my first round of December Paper Pumpkin alternate card ideas today. I couldn't resist! This kit is ADORBALE and incredibly versatile!
Fun fact: The stamp set in this month's kit is all words so I knew for my alternate ideas I wanted to add another stamp set, a character with the brand new Adorable Owls stamp set! This will be available as a Sale-a-Bration reward stamp set with a qualifying purchase starting January 5, 2023!

| Alternate Card Ideas with December 2022 Paper Pumpkin Kit: Good Things Come in Small Packages |
 |
| Love Theme Card Alternate This could cover multiple love occasions |
 |
| The Happy Birthday version which closely matches the Paper Pumpkin designed gift box in the original kit |
 |
| The Graduation Alternate Card because I NEEDED to put that cap on this owl sporting a bow tie C'mon now! |
 |
| The Baby or Special Delivery Theme |
 |
| This is a gift box alternate I created on my Facebook Live this past week |
 |
| When I create alternate videos I talk about incorporating tools or a technique. In this one, it's coloring the owls with water painters. I used watercolor paper, re-inkers and a large clear block with water painters for these cards. |
 |
| I also wanted to shout out "For Everything Fancy Sequins" These are PERFECT if you want to coordinate sparkly embellishments with your gift boxes and alternate projects in the December kit. |
 |
| Here is a look at the original Paper Pumpkin Designed Gift Boxes *except the yellow box in center* and how they can coordinate easily with the alternate cards created in this video |
CARD LAYOUT
Each of the 4 cards has a very similar layout:
- Landscape
- All Card bases are from Good Things Cards & Envelopes (note: just use the cardstock of your choice if you don't have these)
- Layer is from the Good Things Cards & Envelopes (card base cut in half and then panel cut to 3-3/4 x 5-1/4")
- Trim 1" off each end of the box wrapper in the December kit *these are in place of DSP* It should measure 5"
- Use the Die Cuts from the kit (cupcake, cap, sentiment circles, etc) to decorate and stamp your cards
WHAT I DID NOT USE
- The gift boxes
- The small tag die cuts
Ok, I am off to finish SO MANY last minute Christmas things like wrapping, cleaning, laundry... have a wonderful holiday and enjoy your kits! This is one you will go back to throughout the year!
