Day 1 – Creative Christmas Cards with Paper Pumpkin Kits

For Day 1 of my Christmas card challenges, I decided to reach for my Paper Pumpkin kit! I love how quick and easy these kits make it to get crafty β€” especially when time is short and creativity is flowing.

Three crafted Christmas cards featuring traditional holiday designs, including an ornament with 'Deck the Halls,' a card stating 'Merry Christmas,' and one proclaiming 'Joy to the World,' adorned with festive decorations in red and green.

This month’s kit was the perfect way to jump into the holiday spirit with some traditional red and green cheer. I wanted to see if I could stretch the kit a little further, so I challenged myself to create one card that worked for both of my Christmas card challenges β€” plus fit the #GDP520 challenge, too!

To round it out I couldn’t resist adding in a fun scrapbook layout using some of the leftover pieces, too!

Here’s what I took on today:
✨ #ACardADayInNovember – Day 1: Traditional Red & Green Cheer
πŸŽ… #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge – Day 1: Merry and Bright Beginning
πŸ’š #GDP520 – CASE the Designer: Sue Mohr

It’s amazing how versatile these Paper Pumpkin kits are β€” you can create cards, tags, gift packaging, or even add them into your memory-keeping projects. My scrapbook page features the same theme as my card β€” bright pops of red and green, festive accents, and a cozy, cheerful vibe.

Paper Pumpkin is a monthly craft kit delivered to your doorβ€”perfect for quick, beautiful projects. Subscribe by the 10th to get next month’s kit

Spooky Fun with Global Design Project #GDP511

This week’s Global Design Project challenge was all about using letters or numbers in our creations, and I couldn’t resist having a little spooky fun! πŸ‘»

I decided to make a playful Halloween card with a hidden surprise inside. On the front, I kept it creepy-cute with a mummy-style design, complete with googly eyes peeking out and bold letters spelling β€œBOO.” The little spiders and ribbon detail added just the right finishing touches.

But the real magic happens when you open the card! Inside, a bright and cheerful monster pops up, showing off big eyes, sharp (but friendly) teeth, and a touch of candy corn for good measure. It’s such a fun way to combine the challenge theme with a seasonal project.

That’s what I love about these challengesβ€”they push me to think outside the box and come up with designs I might not have tried otherwise.

Here’s a closer look at the details:

  • Front of the card: spooky letters + mummy bandages + spiders
    • #166191 Spooky Sweet 12 x12 Specialty Designer Series Paper
    • #166106 Fright Night Dies
    • #166103 Fright Night Stamp Set
    • #166203 Petunia Pop Iridescent Ribbon
    • #166202 Shimmer Star Foam Stickers
  • Inside: colorful monster made with die cuts and stamped background
    • #164629 Everyday Arches dies (face)
    • #166115 Tractor & Co Dies (hair)
    • #166191 Spooky Sweet 12 x12 Specialty Designer Series Paper (cutouts for nose and mouth)
    • #166106 Fright Night Dies (spider)
    • #159183 Stylish Shapes Dies (eye – inside)
    • #163580 Spotlight on Nature (eye – outside)
    • #162722 Trusty Tools (eye – center)
    • #166793 Sweet Halloween Stamp set (coming Sept 20205)
  • Theme tie-in: letters used both in the β€œBOO” and background sentiment
    • Colors used:
      • Basic black
      • Daffodil Delight
      • Granny Apple Green
      • Petunia Pop
      • Pumpkin Pie
      • Early Espresso
      • Pecan Pie
      • Crumb Cake
      • Very Vanilla

πŸ‘‰ Want to make your own spooky creations? You can order the products I used at www.candiceanderson.stampinup.net.

I had so much fun with this one, and I hope it inspires you to try a Halloween-themed card of your own! πŸŽƒπŸ•·οΈ
