Paper Pumpkin Week – November 2025 Alternatives | Turning 3 Gift Boxes into 7 Cards!

Welcome to Paper Pumpkin Week here on Creative Chelsey! Today I am excited to share a fun way to stretch your November 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit by cutting three of the gift boxes into different pieces to create SEVEN alternative cards.

This month’s kit has such fun patterns, bold colors, and beautiful die-cuts — and even though the kit is designed to make gift boxes, those same pieces can easily transform into quick & simple handmade cards.

I have taken just three of the printed gift boxes and cut them apart using a custom cutting guide so you can get multiple pieces… all perfectly sized for cardmaking. The results are soooo fun — seven unique cards using only three boxes!

I have created a cutting template that shows exactly how to cut each of the boxes, plus the measurements for the extra cardstock pieces you’ll need for each alternative card. You can download that template here:

Each month I take the Paper Pumpkin kits and create alternative projects that are easy for any paper crafter — whether you are brand new or have been creating for years. You can follow along with supplies you already have, or purchase any additional items from my online Stampin’ Up! store. A full supply list is included below.

I also want to share the amazing perks you receive when you subscribe to Paper Pumpkin with me as your demonstrator! Every month, I design a brand-new exclusive card using the Paper Pumpkin stamp set & ink spot. I mail an exclusive kit to all my subscribers so they can make even more, and we meet for a fun monthly crafting session to make the card together.

PLUS — I’ve teamed up with other demonstrators to create a monthly PDF tutorial featuring 7–10 more alternative projects. All my Paper Pumpkin subscribers receive this tutorial FREE, along with the exclusive card kit.

If you would like these extra perks, subscribe to Paper Pumpkin using the link below and make sure to choose me as your demonstrator:
