February 2022 Paper Pumpkin - Safari Celebration With Alternative Ideas

Welcome! Are you ready for a Safari Celebration today? I received the February 2022 Paper Pumpkin kit in the mail last week, and today I’m sharing the kit as well as my alternative ideas with you. This kit is so much fun!

Take a look at the February 2022 Paper Pumpkin kit - this craft kit in the mail is full of supplies to make adorable animal-themed cards.

First let’s take a look at the video.

Watch along here to see all about this kit and an explanation of my alternative ideas, or keep reading for photos and more information.

Let’s start by looking at what came in the February Paper Pumpkin kit.

Kit Contents

This month’s kit included the paper supplies to make 9 adorable cards. I love that the kits always include really cute envelopes. It also had a stamp set, Rich Razzleberry Ink Spot, lots of die cuts, adhesives, and embellishments.

Tip For Die Cuts

Here’s a quick time-saving tip. When you have multiple die cut sheets that are the same, lay them on top of each other and punch all layers out at the same time. If needed, use a Take Your Pick tool.

Now let’s look at the projects I created.

Pre-Designed Projects

Here you can see the three card designs that were shown in the kit instructions. They’re so fun and cheerful! They are not my usual style by any means, but I enjoy that these kits push me out of my ‘box’ sometimes 🙂

February 2022 Paper Pumpkin Alternative Ideas

Here are a few other ideas for how to use the pieces from this kit on other projects.

More Animal-Themed Card Designs

I kept these cards similar to the ones shown on the kit, but I changed up the designs a bit.

Card Designs Without Animals

I wanted to come up with a few ideas that didn’t use the animal die cuts, in case the animals are too much for any of you.

Scrapbook Page

Here’s an adorable scrapbook page I created. It would be great for a child’s birthday celebration, or if you changed the ‘yay’ banner at the top, would be perfect for a trip to the zoo.
