Today I have another alternate card idea for you using the January 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit: Special Delivery.
For this "alternate" card I will be using a coordinating color cardstock for the card base:
- Blueberry Bushel Cardstock
- 4-1/2 x 11" Score: 5-1/2"
- Basic White Insert (cut with Perennial Postage Die in 3-1/2 x 5"
I will also be using the Blueberry Bushel Classic Stampin' Pad and adding Brushed Brass Butterflies embellishments to this card (3 of them)

One of the best things about this embellishment is that they are flat unlike a pearl if you take that into consideration when mailing your cards.
For this card you will use your Paper Trimmer to cut along the dark green line from the above pictured kit layer die cut to separate the inside from the postage frame.
Save that inside panel for another card. For this card it's the postage frame we want!
Next...
Take those adorable patterned envelopes from your kit and cut them up! You can get so many pieces by trimming or die cutting these envelopes and using them as DSP! This is one of my favorite things to do with Paper Pumpkin alternates. This kit has 3 different color envelopes too and 9 total! If you get the refill you can really have fun with this!
I cut these up with the Perennial Postage Dies and I used the Blue Envelope with the white label center for the card front. 3-1/4 x 4-1/2" is the measurement of the Perennial Postage Die used.
Place the blue floral bouquet die cut from the kit in the white label center with dimensionals.
Stamp "Just for You" from the kit stamp set onto the back of the banner die cut in Blueberry Bushel ink.
NOTE: The banner is actually shaded pink but if you use the back it's white.
Add 3 Brushed Brass Butterflies and you have a beautiful alternate card!
