Paper Pumpkin In Review: December 2025 Alternatives

Hello my stamping friends, and Happy New Year. I wish you all the very best in the upcoming 2026. I started this year in my craft room, which felt like the perfect way to begin. I needed a little creative jump‑start after a very busy holiday season with family in town, and I truly missed stamping these last few weeks.

I decided to play with the December 2025 Paper Pumpkin kit. I always love working with Paper Pumpkin because it gives me a great starting point and still leaves plenty of room to be creative. I made a few fun alternatives using only the contents of the kit and xtra card stock 

For the first card, I followed the instructions almost as intended, but added an extra layer of Basic White and Secret Sea card base. I also cut the DSP from one of the card bases into three strips for added interest. It gave the card a cleaner, more dimensional look. Each DSP piece is 1 5/8 by 3 7/8. 

The next card used a 3 7/8 inch square cut the same way, mounted onto Basic White. I stamped the sentiment in the opening and added leaves and flowers around it. I use this layout often because it gives the sentiment a really nice pop.

I used coordinating dies. I also found a copper ribbon in my stash and it coordinates great! I love to have a ribbon and a blog on every card. 

More alternatives are coming, but I hope these first ideas inspire you to open your kit and start creating. It feels so good to be back in the craft room.

Cozy Christmas Paper Pumpkin Highlights

 Hello, my stamping friend!

The October Paper Pumpkin kit, Cozy Christmas, was such a delight to play with! It came packed with traditional holiday colors, cheerful designs, and endless possibilities for creating festive projects. I couldn’t resist experimenting with a few alternative ideas, and I’m excited to share them with you.

What made this kit extra fun was how versatile it was. By combining it with the Ornamental Christmas bundle, I was able to stretch the kit even further and create projects that felt fresh while still keeping that cozy holiday vibe.

Watch a video highlight of what I created:

Here are some of the highlights from my crafting session:

Envelope-to-Box Transformation – I turned one of the kit’s envelopes into a cute gift box. Perfect for small treats or stocking stuffers!

Extra Cardstock Magic – By adding a few pieces of extra cardstock, I created several additional cards. Reusing elements from the kit gave them a polished look while still keeping the playful spirit.

Mix & Match Stamping – Pairing the Paper Pumpkin stamps with the Ornamental Christmas bundle opened up so many creative combinations. It was fun to see how well they blended together.

This Paper Pumpkin really captured the joy of the season—cozy, creative, and full of possibilities. Whether you stick to the original designs or branch out with alternative projects, it’s a kit that sparks imagination and holiday cheer.

And good news - refills for this kit are still available in my store!
