Cozy Christmas Paper Pumpkin Alternatives | Scrapbook Layouts & Cards for Holiday Crafting 🎄✨

Today I’m sharing a fun and festive Cozy Christmas Paper Pumpkin project for “I Made This Myself Monday”. 🎅✨ This kit is GORGEOUS right out of the box . . . flocked textures, shiny red sequins, rich holiday colors, and classic seasonal images that make your cards and scrapbook pages look instantly finished.

I followed the kit instructions to create all three cards as designed by Stampin’ Up! ✔️
Then I got creative and turned the remaining kit pieces into two double-page scrapbook layouts featuring:

• Card bases
• Punch-outs
• Tags and die-cuts
• Coordinating Abundant Joy Dies
• Cozy Christmas Stamp Set
• Classic red sequins
• Secret Sea, Very Vanilla, and Crumb Cake cardstock

The result? Five completed projects from ONE Paper Pumpkin kit. 🙌
I love when a kit lets you stretch your supplies and make something totally unique.

Whether you’re a scrapbooker, a cardmaker, or somewhere in between… Paper Pumpkin makes crafting fast, fun, and festive. ✂️💚

Card 1: Merry Christmas ❤️

The flocked Christmas tree stole the show tonight. 🎄✨
Added a flocked star + shiny red sequins to finish it off. 🙌
Simple, classic, and BEAUTIFUL. 😍

Card 2: Joy to the World 🌟

Flocked flowers + pine sprigs = instant holiday JOY. 🎶
Finished with a sprinkle of red sequins and a bold sentiment. 💚

Card 3: Deck the Halls 💫

A flocked ornament surrounded by those sparkling sequins . . . YES PLEASE. 🤩
This card screams cozy Christmas magic. 🎁

Layout 1: Joy to the World

I built this page using card bases, punch-outs, flocked pieces, add-on die tags ✂️, red sequins, and that gorgeous Secret Sea cardstock for the layout base. 💙

Plus pine branches, holly leaves, gold twine, and stamping from the Cozy Christmas set. 🌲✨
An EASY layered layout with just the right amount of sparkle. 😍

Layout 2: Deck the Halls

Cozy neutrals + festive flocking. 😍
I used Crumb Cake base pages with Very Vanilla second layers, then tucked in flocked accents and red sequins all around. 🎄✨

The Cozy Christmas stamps pulled everything together for a soft vintage feel. ❤️
