Hey y’all! I’ve got a long list of holiday cards to send this year, and the Cozy Christmas Paper Pumpkin arrived just in the nick of time. Whenever I sit down to make holiday cards, I’m transported right back to my childhood kitchen table with my grandmother, surrounded by scraps of patterned paper and half-finished creations spread all around. This kit especially brought back those memories with the soft flocking that feels just like the classic ’70s arts-and-crafts projects we used to make together. It gave the whole crafting session a sweet, nostalgic feel.

Cozy Christmas Paper Pumpkin Alternatives

These next cards and the scrapbook page were created using the Cozy Christmas kit supplies, but with a fresh take that goes beyond the original layouts. The pieces are so easy to mix and match, it’s fun to see where your creativity leads.

And these next cards use the same kit materials but take things to the next level with a touch of embossing. It’s amazing how a little added texture can elevate the whole design, especially this tree card. It uses the reverse side of the flocked tree, and paired with that gorgeous embossing, it creates a completely fresh and beautifully detailed look. A little sanding over the embossed pattern lets that two-tone finish really shine and brings out all the depth in the design.

---

The next cards feature the Abundant Joy Dies (167855), taking the creativity to a whole new level. These detailed die-cuts pair beautifully with the kit pieces and open the door for even more festive possibilities. The Abundant Joy Dies are a special release for the last quarter of the 2025 Paper Pumpkin kits, making them an extra fun bonus to mix in if you have them on hand.

If you loved the Cozy Christmas kit, or you’re wishing you’d snagged it, the refill is a wonderful way to keep the creativity going. These cards capture everything we love about Christmas: warmth, tradition, simplicity, and a little touch of sparkle.
