Yesterday's Live featured my alternative cards for the Filled With Joy Kit. This is the November 2024 Paper Pumpkin (PP) Kit. If you've already used up your November PP Kit, no worries! If you want to make my alternatives, you can still buy the Filled With Joy Refill. The PP refills & dies that are available can only be purchased by current Paper Pumpkin subscribers. They're also WHILE SUPPLIES LAST, so you'll want to get them before they're gone!

I have added chapters to the video, so you can jump to the section you want to watch.
Here is a picture of what the stockings look like when you make them just like they do in the kit. There are four different ornaments to choose from and two different color tags. Above, I only used one of the tags & ornaments, but you'll be able to see the others on my alternatives below. These are super cute, but I think you're going to like the two different ways I made them below. First off, I want to show you my card alternatives.
Here's the first card alternative I made in my video above. The one on the left is the original card I made, and the card on the right is the one I made in the video. Can you see the difference? I kept forgetting to add the cute stamped borders onto the ornaments, so it looks a little plainer than the one on the left. I like both of them, but the stamped one looks more colorful.
As you can see, I used the Real Red & White Adhesive-Backed Peppermints on my card. Sadly, these are out-of-stock again. Whenever they get a shipment in, they sell out within a day or two. These peppermints happen to be one of my Thank You Gifts. YOU CAN GET THEM FREE FROM ME WITH A QUALIFYING ORDER (or with a qualifying total amount in orders throughout November. YOU'LL HAVE TO HURRY...I ONLY HAVE SIX LEFT! Once they're gone, I'll substitute with another embellishment. I'll let you know if I run out on my Thank You Gift Page (link below).

Here's my second, & last, Filled With Joy card alternative. Once again, I forgot to stamp the extra borders onto the ornament in the video. 😆 The one on the left shows what it looks like with the added stamped borders on the ornament die-cut, and the one on the right shows it without stamping on them.
I used the peppermint embellishments again on this card. I really like them on the ornament.

Here is the first alternative I have for you with the stockings. I dressed them up a little bit by stamping on them with some of the stamps in the kit's exclusive stamp set. I used Poppy Parade ink, which is the Stampin' Spot ink pad that came in the kit. You can see how I did it in the video above. The tag is made just like they did in the kit, so there aren't any dimensions to share.
Here's the second alternative I did for the stockings. Once again, the tag is the same as the kit, but this time, I embossed the stocking! This is the one I did in the video, and I embossed it with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder from the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog. Make sure to watch how I did it in the video.
This is another stocking I made before I did the video, and I used the new Modern Herringbone 3D Embossing Folder on this one. It's one of the Online Exclusives that came out at the beginning of the month.
