Paper Pumpkin Possibilities - December 2025 - Watercolor in Bloom

Wednesday, 7 January 2026

Welcome to our December 2025 Paper Pumpkin Possibilities blog hop featuring the Watercolor Bloom Kit. This kit is so pretty and has such lovely sentiments! I definitely had fun making these cards and my alternatives!

Check out the kit!

Show your love and appreciation with rich watercolor hues and elegant botanical flourishes.

Makes 9 cards: 3 each of 3 designs with 9 coordinating envelopes
Copper foil and copper sequins
Precut paper and vellum pieces
Coordinating colors: Copper, Garden Green, Night of Navy (Classic Stampin’ Spot), Pretty Peacock, Secret Sea, Shaded Spruce

Here's the cards you can make from the kit. I love the vellum pieces that you can add!

Now, here's a couple of alternatives you can make. Both are the same layout, I've just used different die cuts for them. I never have enough thank you cards!

Instructions

Cut Night of Navy cardstock 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 5 1/2". Fold and burnish on scoreline using a Bone Folder to form the card base.
Cut a card base to 3 1/2" x 5 1/2". Save the other piece for a second card.
Cut a vellum rectangle piece in half. Adhere the pieces to the Night of Navy card base about 1/8" from the left and right side.
Adhere the card base piece to the card base.
Adhere the leafy layer piece to the card base.
Stamp "Thank You" on a white rectangle using Night of Navy ink.
You can cut one of the scraps of the card base to 1/4" x 3" and layer top and bottom of the sentiment piece.
Adhere 2 die cut pieces in the middle of the card base
Adhere sentiment over die cuts using Dimensionals.
Adhere copper sequins.
