September 2025 Fall for Toile Paper Pumpkin kit was so fun. I love when a Paper Pumpkin kit coordinates with a Suite or bundle. This kit coordinates with Autumn Toile Suite. Below are the three cards that are made per the instructions. I love the colors so much!!
After I made the three cards as instructed. I cut apart the rest of the cardbases to extend my kit. The picture below is my first alternate card
I started with a Cajun Craze cardstock cardbase. The plaid dsp mat is actually one of the cardbases from the kit that I cut in half and then cut down to 4 X 5 1/4. Next I cut apart another cardbase, and the flaps of three envelopes from the kit. I used the tear technique on the envelope flaps and adhered to a 4 X 3 1/4 mat. I used the add on die set that coordinates with the kit for the three leaves. The leaves are cut from the leftover envelope flaps. For embellishments I added a Early Espresso thread bow and Pressed Flower motifs.
The second alternate card is similar to the original. I changed the card base to a Cajun Craze Cardbase. The mat is a cardbase from that I cut to
4 X 5 1/4. I used a blending brush with Pecan Pie ink on the mat and stamped the birds in Early Espresso ink. I adhered the frame die cut with dimensionals to the card front. I added the die cut fox and stamped tag to the lower right of the card front. For embellishments I added Pressed Flower Motifs.
The third alternate card is also a Cajun Craze Cardbase with a
4 1/4 X 5 1/5 mat cut from one of the Kits Cardbases. I cut the corn field die in half and adhered to the card front. I added the Leaf die cuts from the kit and the acorns were cut from the add-on die set. I stamped the sentiment on a tag from the kit and tucked it under the acorns. For embellishments I used the Pressed Flower Motifs.
The fourth alternate card is a "Book Binding" fun fold. The cardbase is Early Espresso cardstock. For a book binding fun fold card, cut 11″ x 4-1/4″ cardstock and score at 2-1/8″, 4-1/4″, and 5-1/2″. Fold the card in half at the 5-1/2″ line, then fold back the 4-1/4″ and 2-1/8″ sections to create the book-like spine. The DSP is a card base that I cut apart from the kit. I used the largest square from the Stylish Shape Dies to cut the panel on the card front. I stamped the sentiment on the bottom of the square with Cajun Craze ink. I added three of the beautiful foil leaves from the kit. To embelish the card I used Linen Thread and Cajun Craze Dots.
I hope this inspires you to make more from your Paper Pumpkin kit.
