Beach Time Scrapbooking Workshop Kit | 3 Layouts + Bonus Double Page Spread 🌴


If you’ve been looking for a fun, easy way to document your beach memories, the Beach Time Scrapbooking Workshop Kit is exactly what you need. 🌊☀️

This kit is filled with everything you need to create three beautiful double-page 12x12 scrapbook layouts, and today I’m also sharing a BONUS double-page layout to stretch your supplies even further.

With bright, summery colors like Daffodil Delight, Summer Splash, Petunia Pop, and Strawberry Slush, plus playful elements like palm trees, starfish, and sunglasses, these layouts instantly bring your memories to life.


One of the things I LOVE most about these workshop kits is how simple they make the process:
✔️ Pre-designed layouts
✔️ Step-by-step instructions
✔️ Coordinated supplies

They are perfect for beginners, busy crafters, or anyone who just wants to sit down and CREATE without overthinking it.

Of course, I couldn’t leave it “as is” . . . I added my own twist using:
Pastels Shimmer Specialty Paper for a soft sparkle
🎑 Beach Boardwalk Puffy Stickers for dimension and fun texture

You can also take it a step further with optional ink blending using Sponge Daubers for added depth and interest.

Whether you’re documenting a tropical vacation, a beach day with family, or simply your love for summer, these layouts make it easy to capture your story in a beautiful and meaningful way.

Can we just talk about this title for a second . . . 😍🌴
“Vacation BEACH Day – Fun in the Sun” is basically EVERYTHING I want in a scrapbook layout. ☀️πŸ’›

Okayyyy but this one? πŸ˜πŸ’¦
Layout 2 is screaming SUMMER FUN and I am HERE for it. ☀️🌴

From the second I started working on this page, I could practically hear the splashing, laughing, and “let’s go to the pool!” moments. πŸ“ΈπŸ’›

This layout is PERFECT for:
🏊‍♀️ Pool days
☀️ Backyard summer fun
πŸ‰ Hot sunny afternoons
πŸ“Έ Kids playing, laughing, and making memories

I also love how this one gives you a mix of:
πŸ“Έ Larger photo space
πŸ“Έ Smaller layered photo spots
✨ And room for embellishing without it feeling crowded

If you’ve got summer photos sitting on your phone . . . THIS is your reminder to print them and get them into an album. πŸ’›




Okay . . . Layout 3 might be my FAVORITE so far. πŸ˜☀️🌴
This one is just bursting with SUMMER SUNSHINE happiness and I cannot get enough.

From the second I laid this one out, it felt like:
☀️ Warm sunshine on your face

It’s the PERFECT mix of playful and relaxing. πŸ’›

This layout is AMAZING for:
πŸ–️ Beach days
πŸŒ… Sunset photos
🌴 Vacation memories
πŸ“Έ Those “just living your best life” moments

Plus . . . there’s space for both photos AND journaling so you can really tell the story behind your memories. πŸ“πŸ’•





Ummmm . . . can we just take a moment for THIS ONE? 😍πŸ”₯
This BONUS Layout is giving bold, bright, and totally WOW vibes.

That contrast of:
πŸ–€ Deep black background
🌈 Bright rainbow beachy stripes
✨ Pops of shimmer + dimension

. . . is EVERYTHING. πŸ™Œ

And let’s talk about that title . . .
πŸ‘‰ LAS VEGAS 🎰✨
HELLO statement piece. Those big bold letters with the sparkle details?! I am OBSESSED. 😍

What I love most about this layout:
✨ It feels completely different from the others (hello variety!!)
🌴 Still keeps those fun beachy elements with a twist
🎟️ Layered embellishments that add depth and personality
πŸ“Έ Perfect mix of photo sizes to tell your story

This layout is PERFECT for:
🎰 Vegas trips (obviously πŸ˜‰)
πŸŒ† Nighttime adventures
✨ Girls trips
πŸŽ‰ Any bold, unforgettable memories

And honestly . . . this is why I LOVE these workshop kits. πŸ’›
You can follow the design OR take it in a totally different direction like this and make it your own.

Scrapbooking doesn’t have to be complicated to be meaningful . . . and this project is the perfect reminder of that. When everything is coordinated and thoughtfully designed for you, it frees you up to focus on what really matters: your memories. πŸ’›

These layouts are more than just paper and stickers . . . they’re a way to relive the laughter, the sunshine, and those little moments that make life so special. Whether you’re crafting solo with your favorite music on or gathering with friends for a creative night, this kit brings joy to every step of the process.

So grab your photos, lean into those beachy vibes, and give yourself permission to create something just for YOU. 🌴✨

How to Stretch Your Paper Pumpkin Kit | Special Delivery Cards + Scrapbook Layouts with Stampin’ Up!


If you’ve ever wished you could get more out of your Paper Pumpkin kits, you are going to LOVE this approach. 😍✂️

With the January Paper Pumpkin Kit: Special Delivery, I followed a simple strategy that gives you the best of both worlds . . . cardmaking AND scrapbooking.



✨ My Paper Pumpkin Strategy:

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 πŸ“Έ

This allows you to:
✔️ Enjoy the original card designs
✔️ Stretch your supplies much further
✔️ Create coordinated scrapbook pages
✔️ Maximize the value of your kit

πŸ’Œ 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

🎨 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.

πŸ’‘ 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.

Here are the 3 beautiful card designs from the January Paper Pumpkin Kit – Special Delivery and I am IN LOVE. 😍✉️

From the florals 🌸 to the postage stamp details πŸ“¬ to the touches of gold ✨ . . . these are just SO pretty.

BUT here’s how I do things a little differently . . . πŸ‘€πŸ‘‡
I make ONE of each card design . . . and then turn the rest into scrapbook layouts. πŸ“ΈπŸ’•

Because let’s be real . . . we LOVE getting more out of our kits. πŸ™Œ

πŸ’Œ This kit includes:
✨ 9 cards (3 designs)
✨ Coordinating envelopes
✨ Precut pieces (easy crafting!!)
✨ Gold foil accents

And those colors . . . πŸ˜πŸ‘‡
Blueberry Bushel πŸ’™ Bubble Bath πŸ’• Darling Duckling πŸ’›

πŸ‘‰ If you’re into cardmaking + scrapbooking + stretching your supplies, Paper Pumpkin is SUCH a fun way to do it.






πŸ“Έ✨ From Paper Pumpkin ➡️ Scrapbook Layout MAGIC. ✨πŸ“Έ

Okay . . . THIS is why I love Paper Pumpkin so much. πŸ˜πŸ’™

After creating just ONE of each card, I took the rest of the January Paper Pumpkin Kit – Special Delivery and turned it into this GORGEOUS double-page scrapbook layout. πŸ™Œ

Can we talk about these details?! πŸ‘‡
✨ Gold foil accents (hello sparkle!!)
πŸ’™ That rich Blueberry Bushel color
πŸ“¬ Postage stamp elements = PERFECT for memory keeping
πŸ’• Soft florals + layered textures

This layout is ready to hold all your favorite memories while still keeping that elegant, handmade feel. ✂️πŸ“Έ

πŸ’‘ Pro Tip:
Don’t stop at the cards. Stretch your kits and turn them into scrapbook layouts, memory pages, and more.

If you love scrapbooking, memory keeping, and getting MORE out of your crafting kits, Paper Pumpkin is such a fun way to do it. πŸ’•




πŸ’•✨ From Card Kit ➡️ Stunning Scrapbook Page ✨πŸ’•

Okay . . . can we just take a moment for this one. 😍

πŸŽ€ Sweet little accents + layers
❤️ Perfect Valentine vibes

And of course . . . you know my trick πŸ‘‡
I made ONE of each card . . . and turned the rest into scrapbook layouts. πŸ“ΈπŸ™Œ

This is such a fun way to:
✔️ Stretch your supplies
✔️ Get MORE projects from one kit
✔️ Create meaningful memory pages

That “Beautiful” sentiment with the gold foil + ribbon bow. 😍 

If you love scrapbooking, memory keeping, and creative ways to use your Paper Pumpkin kits, this is your sign to try it. ✂️πŸ’•





πŸ“Έ✨ One Kit . . . SO MANY Layouts. ✨πŸ“Έ

After making just ONE of each card, I turned the rest of the January Paper Pumpkin Kit – Special Delivery into these BEAUTIFUL scrapbook layouts. πŸ’•✂️

And I’m not talking just one . . .
πŸ‘‰ A full coordinating layout set. πŸ‘

Can we take a moment for these details?! πŸ‘‡
✨ Gold foil accents throughout
🌸 Soft florals + postage stamp elements
❤️ Pops of red + black for contrast
πŸ“¬ Layered textures that bring everything to life

That “Heartfelt” title 😍 and all those little embellishments just tie everything together perfectly.

πŸ’‘ This is why I LOVE Paper Pumpkin:
✔️ Quick cards when you want them
✔️ Scrapbook layouts when you want MORE
✔️ Endless creative possibilities

If you’re into scrapbooking, memory keeping, and getting the MOST out of your supplies, this is such a fun way to craft. πŸ’•

πŸ‘‰ Which layout is your favorite? Tell me below. πŸ‘‡✨


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. ✨
