Paper Pumpkin Possibilities - Fall for Toile - September 2025

 

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 September 2025 "Fall for Toile" 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!

~*~*~*~*~

September 2025: Fall for Toile

~*~*~*~*~*~

  Here are the alternatives I came up with this month.  I hope you like them.

My first card uses elements of the kit and some acetate to make a beautiful shaker card.  The shaker beads are Loose Frosted dots, and go wonderfully with the fall elements.

My second alternative is another simple fun-fold - one of my favorites.  For this card I cut on each side of the front of the cardbase 1" in from each side and up to the center score line - then glued each of these sections down leaving a front flap.  After that I cut pieces from one of the other card bases to create a layer for each section.  I also attached the "corn" image layer to the center flap and stamped and added elements from the kit as well as three of the Loose Frosted Dots.

Front

Inside
But then - anyone who knows me - know my love of coloring - so out my blends came, and here is a second version of that one - just colored.

I'm really happy with how they all turned out.  What do you think?

Abundant Joy Dies Add-On #167855 —available to Paper Pumpkin subscribers, only while supplies last! Coordinates with the October, November and December 2025 kits.

I hope you've enjoyed these alternative ideas.  Now be sure to hop through the rest to get some more great inspiration.  Don't forget to leave a comment.
