Paper Pumpkin Alternate Ideas…Sweeter With You Twisted Easel Fun Fold & Gift Box

July 23, 2025 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 5 Comments

Are you playing along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’ this week? Yesterday I shared two cool fun fold cards you can create simply by following the “clues”. Today I am sharing another twisted easel bookbinding fun fold I created using the July 2025 Paper Pumpkin Sweeter With You Kit.
I love this Paper Pumpkin kit and this double fun fold design!

Everything to create this card came from my kit (except the Pool Party cardstock for my card base and the red ribbon). I love to create alternate projects using the contents from the kit and this one was quick & easy! The card folds flat for mailing and twists and pops for display.

I love to create gifts to go with some of the cards I create. This card needed a simple box for the adorable strawberry candles that coordinate with the strawberries in the kit! Talk about “sweet”!!!! Stampin' Up!

This little thank you gift and card is perfect for a friend who went strawberry picking and shared some of her delicious berries!
