What else can we do with the Nests of Christmas Paper Pumpkin Kit?
Enjoy seeing these 12 unique cards all made with the October 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit, Nests of Christmas! These kits give us each a chance to be like kids again and just play. It has enough supplies to keep things interesting but not too much to feel overwhelming.
When I sit down to create with a Paper Pumpkin Kit, I lay out all of the pieces from the kit, adding only a few extra card bases in coordinating colors. For this kit, I trimmed the cut-outs because I wanted less white space around the images, but that was just my personal preference.
Measurements for cut pieces are listed with each card. Watch the video below to see all of them being made, with tips and tricks along the way.
Card #1:
Score at 2-1/8″ and 4-1/4″ and fold into Z fold. Add 4″ x 5-1/4″ patterned paper on the inside and 2-3/4″ x 5-1/4″ on the front panel.
