Paper Pumpkin Possibilities - October 2026 - Noel Greetings

Welcome to our Paper Pumpkin Possibilities blog hop!!!  I am so excited to be a part of this team of hoppers sharing alternative designs for each month's Paper Pumpkin kit.  This month's kit is all about the October 2026 "Noel Greetings" kit!!  Hopefully what we show will inspire you.  Be sure to hop all the way through to see what this amazing team has come up with!

~*~*~*~*~

Let me tell you - this kit is amazing - it makes 10 beautiful Christmast Cards - 5 each of 2 different designs, and I'm not sure which is my fav.  It's also really special that it coordinates with the Neutral Noel Suite Collection.  

I took the elements of one of the cards and just changed it up a little to make a fun-fold card - 

I love easel cards and the way they display on your mantel.  So using the swirly base, I turned it horizontal - and scored the front at 2 1/8" to fold it.  I cut the large oval in half to get two - 

And taped the white layer with the trees to it -

Then, I decorated it with the other pieces from the kit, and adhered it to the base only on the bottom half.  I used the little strip stamped with the little strip to make the stopper for the front of the card.  You can put the stopper further up if you want it to stand up more, but I like to leave plenty of space to write in.

Couple other changes - I addes a few rhinestone gems to the sky - and my favorit, I colored the windows yellow to give it a warm glow.

I hope you've enjoyed this alternative idea.  Don't forget about the Add-On dies for this quarter's kits as they are wonderful -

168663  LAYERED TAGS DIES (ENGLISH)  $13.00
