Instead of making all 9 cards exactly as instructed, I:
1️⃣ Created ONE of each card design (3 total)
2️⃣ Used the remaining supplies to create multiple scrapbook layouts πΈ
This allows you to:
✔️ Enjoy the original card designs
✔️ Stretch your supplies much further
✔️ Create coordinated scrapbook pages
✔️ Maximize the value of your kit
π What Makes This Kit Perfect for Both:
The Special Delivery kit includes:
Precut elements that are easy to repurpose
Coordinating envelopes (great for layering!)
Gold foil accents for added elegance
A cohesive color palette that works beautifully for layouts
π¨ Don’t Forget Your Stash!
One of the keys to stretching your kit even further is incorporating items you already have:
Cardstock for photo mats
Adhesives and dimensionals
Extra embellishments
Dies and punches
By combining your Paper Pumpkin kit with your stash, you can create full scrapbook layouts that feel intentional, layered, and complete.
π‘ Why This Works So Well:
Paper Pumpkin kits are designed with coordination in mind . . . so everything already matches. That makes them PERFECT for expanding beyond cards into scrapbook layouts.
Instead of limiting yourself to just cards, you’re creating:
✨ Handmade cards
✨ Double-page layouts
✨ Single-page layouts
✨ Coordinated memory-keeping projects
All from ONE kit.

From the florals πΈ to the postage stamp details π¬ to the touches of gold ✨ . . . these are just SO pretty.

If you’ve been looking for a way to beautifully document your outdoor adventures, the Exploring Nature Scrapbooking Workshop Kit from Stampin’ Up! is exactly what you need. π²✨
In this week’s I Made This Myself Monday, I shared three double-page 12x12 scrapbook layouts plus a BONUS single-page layout . . . all using this incredible all-in-one kit designed for memory keeping made simple. π
This workshop kit includes everything you need to get started: Designer Series Paper, Two-Tone Cardstock, precut images, stickers, and step-by-step instructions. Whether you’re preserving memories from a camping trip, hiking adventure, or everyday moments in nature, these layouts come together quickly while still looking polished and professional. π
To elevate my pages even more, I incorporated the Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper for a rich, rustic shine and added texture with Faux Bronze Pentagon embellishments. I also experimented with a fun paper crumpling and spritzing technique, which adds depth and a natural, weathered look that perfectly complements the theme. π
Scrapbooking doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming. With predesigned kits like this, you can focus on what matters most . . . telling your story and preserving your memories in a creative and meaningful way. ✨

Layout 1 is DONE and I am absolutely loving these outdoorsy vibes. π²✨
This first double-page layout from my Exploring Nature Scrapbooking Workshop Kit is all about capturing those “living in the moment” memories. π Whether it’s a hiking trip, a day at the lake, or just soaking up some fresh air . . . this layout is PERFECT for documenting it all. π
I am obsessed with the layered details on this one. π
From the bold strip across the middle to those adorable sentiment pieces like “No Boundaries, No Limits” . . . it just screams adventure. ✨
And can we talk about those little metallic accents? π The Faux Bronze Pentagons add just the right amount of texture and shine without taking away from your photos. π
This layout holds:
πΈ Three 3x3 photos
πΈ One additional photo for storytelling
So it’s great for both highlighting moments AND adding a little journaling to remember the story behind them. π
Layout 2 is giving ALL the adventure vibes and I am here for it. π²✨
This second double-page layout from my Exploring Nature Scrapbooking Workshop Kit is all about those everyday adventures π . . . the little moments, the big moments, and everything in between. π
I love how this layout combines:
πΈ Larger focal photos (perfect for those must-highlight memories!)
πΈ Smaller photos to support the story
π Built-in journaling space to capture the details you never want to forget
And can we just take a second for that title . . . “everyday adventure”. ππ It’s such a great reminder that not every memory has to be BIG to be meaningful. π
The layered textures, soft earthy tones, and those subtle metallic accents bring everything together in such a calm, natural way. π
Plus . . . that little “Things to Note” journaling spot is PERFECT for jotting down quick memories, funny moments, or even a list of what made the day special. π
This layout is truly one you could use over and over again for so many different occasions. πΏ
Layout 3 is the perfect way to wrap up this nature-inspired set. π²✨
This final double-page layout from my Exploring Nature Scrapbooking Workshop Kit is all about embracing the great outdoors π and documenting those unforgettable moments spent outside. π
I LOVE the deeper tones in this layout. π
That rich background paired with the earthy greens and pops of gold really makes your photos stand out in the best way. π
This layout gives you:
πΈ A mix of photo sizes for variety and storytelling
πΈ Space to highlight both big moments AND little details
π A dedicated journaling area to capture what made the day special
And can we talk about those details?! π
π² The layered trees add so much dimension
π§ The compass + “take the road less traveled” sentiment brings all the adventure vibes
✨ And those metallic accents tie everything together perfectly
The title “the great outdoors” says it all. π
This layout is just MADE for camping trips, hiking adventures, road trips, and all those memory-filled days outside. πΏ
Sometimes you don’t need a full spread . . . just one photo that tells the whole story. π✨
I love how this layout keeps the focus on your photo while still adding those beautiful nature-inspired details:
πΏ Soft earthy layers
π² Simple embellishments like trees + leaves
✨ Subtle metallic accents for just a touch of shine
Those little elements like “Hike” and “Explore” make it ideal for outdoor adventures . . . whether it’s a trail walk, scenic overlook, or just a peaceful moment outside. π
And can we talk about that sentiment . . . “Leave it better than you found it” π
Such a perfect reminder to pair with your nature memories π
This is one of those layouts you can recreate over and over again for quick memory keeping. π
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by where to start with scrapbooking, this is your reminder that it can truly be SIMPLE, FUN, and incredibly rewarding. π
The Exploring Nature Scrapbooking Workshop Kit takes the guesswork out of design while still leaving room for your creativity to shine. Whether you follow the instructions exactly or add your own personal touches like I did with textures and embellishments, you’ll end up with layouts that you are proud to display and revisit for years to come. πΏ
So grab your photos, set aside a little creative time, and let this kit help you turn your memories into something tangible and beautiful. Because at the end of the day . . . these are the moments worth preserving. ✨
