One of my favorite things about Paper Pumpkin is how easily each kit transforms into so much more than what is detailed in the instructions. The November 2025 kit, Wrapped in Cheer, practically begged to become a mini advent calendar—so that’s exactly what I created!

For Day 18, I stayed completely true to the kit and decorated my little treat box using only the pieces right out of the Paper Pumpkin box. The greenery, holly accents, and that beautiful bow come together so perfectly. It’s amazing how polished and festive it looks with zero extra supplies.

For Day 19, I decided to step things up! The stunning Abundant Joy Dies (#167855) was used to layer in extra greenery and dimension. The bright red numbers were cut using the Alphabet à La Mode Dies (#160750) and Stampin’ Blends added rich shading to the bow so it really pops!

Both tags were flecked with white acrylic paint applied with a toothbrush — one of my favorite tricks for instant texture and snow-kissed charm! Tuck a surprise inside for someone special, the treat boxes are perfectly sized for gift cards and tiny treats. The Wrapped in Cheer Refill (#167840) is available. The Abundant Joy Dies are available only to current Paper Pumpkin subscribers. See more at mycraftingworkshop.com.
