December 2020 Beary Comforting Paper Pumpkin Projects + Video

Paper Pumpkin is a monthly project kit subscription that offers a wide variety of unique papercrafting projects for crafters of any skill level! 

December’s cute and cuddly Paper Pumpkin kit—called “Beary Comforting”—is designed to uplift your loved ones as this beary tough year finally comes to a close. After a year like 2020, we all could use a big bear hug! With the help of this bear-themed kit, you can create 12 unbearably cute cards featuring warm and fuzzy friends, sweet stamps, and meaningful messages. Near or far, send your friends and family the extra comfort, love, and encouragement they need with this month’s Paper Pumpkin kit!

Even though the projects are professionally designed and ready to complete, I always love the challenge of using the kit pieces in different ways to create alternative projects. Here's what I came up with the December 2020 Beary Comforting kit. 

Don't like the cute critters? Here's a card that uses just the "accessory" image: 

Since I made a card with just the cupcake, I created a new accessory for this red panda card. I used the Balloon Builder Punch and tied them up with Whisper White Baker's Twine.

I try to use mostly the pieces from the kit, adding only minimal cardstock for the card bases. One way that I extend the kit materials to to cut apart the envelopes to use the "liner" as pattern paper. 

Which color variation of this card layout do you prefer? Daffodil Delight or Soft Sea Foam?

When I ran out of die cuts, I stamped more bears and colored them with Stampin' Blends to match the die cuts. I used Ivory, Light Rococo Rose, and Light/Dark Cinnamon Cider Stampin' Blends. The stamped bear is slightly smaller than the die cut bears. Here is the finished card:

Did you know that you can print a stamp case insert for your Paper Pumpkin stamps? It's a great way to organize and store your Paper Pumpkin stamp collection after you complete your kit. Click here to get empty cases in my Online Store. Download Paper Pumpkin Stamp Case Inserts here.
