🎁 SPOILER ALERT . . . Doors 8 & 9 Are Open — Come See Today’s Crafty Surprises

Another night, another pair of crafting surprises. 🎄
Monday night during my Facebook Live, we opened Door 8 and Door 9 of the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar, and these goodies were SO much fun to explore.

One of my favorite things about this Advent Calendar is how varied the surprises are. One day it’s embellishments, the next it’s Designer Series Paper, then it’s dies or tools . . . and every single item is exclusive. You cannot buy them separately or find them in any catalog or online store.

Monday night’s two items were no exception. They were designed to coordinate seamlessly with previous days, which means you’re slowly building an entire suite of mini crafting essentials as we go through the countdown. How cool is that? ✂️💛

🎥 Missed the live?
The full replay is now on YouTube so you can watch Door 8 & 9 reveal anytime.

GET YOUR ADVENT CALENDAR HERE!!

This Advent Calendar continues to light up the season with creativity, and I’m thrilled to share each reveal with you. Whether you’re crafting right along with me or simply enjoying the daily reveals, I hope this brings a little extra joy to your December. Remember . . . this calendar is limited edition, so once it sells out, it’s gone forever. I can’t wait to open Door 10 with you. 🎁✨

Full of Charm Paper Pumpkin Alternatives | 3 Cards + 3 Scrapbook Layouts from One Kit

This month’s June Paper Pumpkin Kit . . . Full of Charm is overflowing with stunning florals, gold foil accents, and heartfelt sentiments 🌸✨. For this week’s I Made This Myself Monday, I took the kit way beyond cards and created 3 beautiful cards, 1 double-page layout, and 2 single-page layouts using not only the kit contents but also pieces from the coordinating Hugs A Bloom Add-On.

The gold-foil card bases were PERFECT for fussy cutting, layering, and building decorative page elements. I loved pairing the leafy and floral ephemera with coordinating colors like Mossy Meadow, Pretty Peacock, Berry Burst, and Timid Tiger to bring out all the charm of this suite.

Each project highlights how versatile Paper Pumpkin can be . . . whether you’re a cardmaker, scrapbooker, or both. The layouts are filled with texture, torn edges, die-cut accents, and pops of gold that make each page shine. And the cards? Sweet, simple, and full of heartfelt joy. 💛

If you're looking for fresh inspiration or ideas for stretching your kit, this month’s projects are sure to spark creativity.

Sweeter With You Paper Pumpkin Alternatives 🍓 | 4 Cards + 2 Scrapbook Layout Ideas

The July Paper Pumpkin Kit . . . Sweeter With You is packed with sun-kissed strawberries, breezy gingham, and soft watercolor backgrounds that feel like a picnic in the middle of summer. 🍓☀️

Stampin’ Up! designed four beautiful cards, and today I recreated all four exactly as instructed . . . but then I kept going. Using the card bases, envelope flaps, ephemera, vellum pieces, and the coordinating Circle of Seasons Dies, I also created a double-page layout and a single-page layout for my memory-keeping friends.

I love how this kit combines bold reds with cheerful greens and sweet pastels. From scalloped layers to strawberry clusters to basket ephemera, the pieces come together effortlessly. Stretching a card kit into scrapbook layouts is one of my favorite ways to get even MORE value from Paper Pumpkin, and this kit delivered big time. 💗

Each layout features layered ephemera, hand-drawn journaling lines, color-blocked panels, and playful titles made with alphabet dies . . . perfect for documenting summer memories, berry picking, picnics, or just photos of the people who make your life a little sweeter. 🍓✨

CARD 1: Thank You

A bright + happy thank-you card 🍓💚 featuring random flower stamping, layered strawberry ephemera, sweet white blossoms, striped punchouts, and a stamped sentiment for that fresh-picked look.

CARD 2: Thank You: You’re the Best

This one is ALL about the layers. 💗✨
Strawberries + flowers + a scalloped circle + vellum = the perfect summer combo. Finished with a crisp stamped sentiment.

CARD 3: Life Is Sweeter with You

A sweet little berry basket holds the cutest strawberries. 🍓 The scalloped rectangle makes the sentiment stand out beautifully.

CARD 4: Hello Friend: Love You Lots

Those tall strawberry stems + clusters of blossoms = chef’s kiss. 😍
Layered over vellum and finished with a cheerful sentiment pair.

Layout 1: Berry Sweet

This layout is JUICY with color & texture. 🍓🍊💚
I used card bases, envelope flaps, strawberries, baskets & florals . . . plus gutted Black cardstock (for photo mats!) and a White Willow base.
The BERRY title was cut from Calypso Coral using the Party Dies & topped with sparkles. ✨
“Sweet” was created using the Mini Alphabet Dies, and I added die-cut leaves and journaling lines for finishing touches.

Layout 2: Berry Blessed

This one might be my favorite. 🤩
White Willow base, bright strawberry ephemera, scalloped shapes, vellum accents, and a hand-drawn dashed border to make everything POP.
“BERRY” was cut from Calypso Coral using the Mini Alphabet Dies, and “BLESSED” was built with A La Mode Alphabet Dies. 🍓💗 Finished with sparkle gems and retired white glimmer paper.
