My  5 strips of cardstock are cut to 4" x 1"

Watch on minute 13 in my free tutorial to watch this process! The 6th strip I placed on the inside of the card. 

If you happen to want to do the strip 4" x 3/4" you could and it would look like this with black cardstock on white card base:

Which is your favorite?

For these cards I used the Lovely & Beautiful DSP, available while supplies last here.

For these cards above I either alternate the pattern front and back, or not. I enjoyed adding different labels and ephemera. All my materials are below.

Less is More | Paper Pumpkin Special Delivery Alternates Part 3

 

A quote I have been pondering for days, weeks, now months.

How much do I actually need to be happy and present?

Not much. God is working in me. 

Here to share some of what Ive been stamping with what I have. My January 2026 Paper Pumpkin kit Special Delivery.

During my latest livestream I made 2 card alternates with this beautiful kit plus some pretty bookmarks that as Terri Bate's mentioned we could use on a card as well. Because why not.

For this card I actually used the front of one of the envelopes that came with the kit because it was way too cute. All these projects were inspired by ONE of the cards that came with the kit. Cut a base of white cardstock 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", fold in half at 4 1/4".

Cut a layer of Night of Navy cardstock to 4" x 5 1/4" and then add the front of the envelope only cut to 3 7/8" x 5 3/8". Add the sentiment (February 2026 Product of the Month)

I love simplicity and fun. So each Monday I invite my friends to set apart an hour to create with me live and use what we have.
