We are all fans of this monthly crafting kit and want to share with you our enthusiasm for this box of fun and creativity. The beauty of Paper Pumpkin kit is that you can follow the directions provided in the kit and make the projects as they were designed or use the supplies as a starting point and let your creative spirit soar. On this hop we will be sharing lots of ideas with you on how to use the July Paper Pumpkin Kit: "Hooray for Birthdays". Say Happy Birthday with stand-up easel cards perfect for showing off!

Makes 9 cards, 3 each of 3 designs with 9 coordinating envelopes, holographic foil accents, precut paper pieces, printed stickers and two-step flower stamps let you build multi-colored blooms. I truly love fun-fold cards, and these easel cards are too cute.  and I decided to use that theme as my inspiration for my alternates.

July 2026 ICS Blog Hop Online Exclusives

 

Hello and welcome to July ICS Blog Hop!

This month, I’m featuring products from the “Garden Poetry Suite Collection,” which showcases lush botanical imagery in vibrant, cheerful colors. For these projects, I’ll be working with Poppy Parade, Blueberry Bushel, and Old Olive classic ink pads. My inspiration came from a Virtual Bingo event I attended on Saturday, June 27, 2026—it was such a blast, and everyone had a great time. Since I didn’t have the “Paradise Garden” stamp set, I opted to use the “Exciting Times,” Learn & Grow, and June 2026 Bikes & Blooms Paper Pumpkin stamp sets for the sentiments instead!

I absolutely love how each card turned out, and the sentiments perfectly complement this suite collection. I noticed that this set of goodies is still on the Last Chance list while supplies last, and it might be worth adding to your collection.

Thanks for visiting my blog, now let's head to the next person on the carousel and see what they shared.

"Global Collaboration" - Paper Pumpkin Alternates - June 2026 Bikes & Blooms

 

🌎 Global Collaboration – Paper Pumpkin Alternates 🚲🌸

Hello, crafty friends!

One of my favorite things about being part of the Stampin' Up! community is that creativity has no borders. Today, I'm so excited to share a special Global Collaboration with my talented friend Stephanie Tsang from Calgary, Alberta, Canada!

Together, we're sharing creative inspiration using the June 2026 Bikes & Blooms Paper Pumpkin Kit, proving that one kit can become so many beautiful handmade creations.

My Bikes & Blooms Alternates

The first two projects featured in this post are the alternates I created using the supplies from the Bikes & Blooms Paper Pumpkin Kit.

If you've followed my crafting journey, you already know one of my favorite techniques is creating custom backgrounds. I love stretching my kits by adding layers, texture, and unique background designs that make each project feel one-of-a-kind. It's amazing how a simple background can completely transform the look of a card!

I hope these projects inspire you to look beyond the kit instructions and let your creativity bloom.

Stephanie's Beautiful Alternate

The second set of projects were beautifully created by my friend Stephanie Tsang. I absolutely love seeing her creative style and the unique ways she used the very same kit materials. It's always inspiring to see how two crafters can begin with identical supplies and end up with completely different works of art.

If you live in Canada and would like to purchase Stampin' Up! products or subscribe to Paper Pumpkin, I encourage you to visit Stephanie through the link below and support her wonderful business.

More Global Inspiration

No matter where you live, we hope our collaboration inspires you to think outside the box and get even more from your Paper Pumpkin kits.

✨ If you're in the USA, please shop with me using this link.

🍁 If you're in Canada, please visit Stephanie's online store using her link.

Together we're sharing creativity across borders—one Paper Pumpkin kit at a time!

Thank you for stopping by, and we'd love to know...
