One of my favorite ways to stretch a Paper Pumpkin Kit is to pair it with brand-new catalog products. Today’s card does exactly that – it combines elements from January’s Special Delivery Paper Pumpkin Kit with the Easter Basket Bundle from the 2026 Spring Mini Catalog.
Before we jump in, though – yesterday’s post didn’t go live until early afternoon (no need to point fingers at what tall, charismatic and handsome man messed up). If you are an early morning visitor who missed yesterday’s post, please see it here.
My card showcases the Easter Basket Bundle with only a few elements from the kit. I didn’t plan to share this card on my blog, but you like to see new products in action, so I decided to share it with you, too.
Here’s my sweet Easter card:
Such soft, sweet colors! The Bubble Bath card base, bouquet of flowers, and banner are pulled from the Special Delivery Paper Pumpkin Kit. Today, I want to share information about the other elements on the card – starting with the Crumb Cake basket at the heart of the design.
The Crumb Cake basket, Lemon Lolly bow, and sentiment stamp set are all part of the Easter Basket Bundle, new in Stampin’ Up!’s 2026 Spring Mini Catalog. This bundle was recently on backorder, but it’s back in stock!
Here’s a look at the Easter Basket Bundle:
I cropped Soft Sea Foam leaves from the Lovely Arrangement Dies and tucked them under the flowers from the Paper Pumpkin Kit. I also slipped the Lemon Lolly bow from the Easter Basket Bundle beneath the flowers and finished the card with a trio of Bubble Bath dots from the Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots.
Here’s a closer look at the basket on my card:
The Bubble Bath panels behind the basket are cut from the Subtles 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper.
Three panels of soft pink aren’t usually my comfort zone, but is there a more perfect backdrop for an Easter card? If you love this mix of Soft Sea Foam, Bubble Bath and Lemon Lolly as much as I do, I hope you will save this for future reference:
Last Thoughts
I love how this card blends the ease of a Paper Pumpkin Kit with the charm of a brand-new bundle. It’s a great reminder that kits don’t have to stay in their lane – they’re wonderful jumping-off points for experimenting with new products and color combinations you might not normally reach for.

A basket of creative sweetness
Thanks, Mary! I really love this basket. It was so easy to fill. 🙂
Hi Brian
I love how you created your Easter basket! Even though I don’t have this Paper Pumpkin I could use your ideas to create one!
Thanks for sharing
The Paper Pumpkin Kit elements are only a small part of this card. These flowers are a perfect accent for the basket, but any flowers can work as well. Thanks, Dawn! ♥
What a perfect Easter card! I love all the elements you included. Enjoy your day, my friend.
Thank you so much, Hilda! I’m so happy you like it. ♥
This is such an adorable card! Now I’m going to order the bundle so
I can make Easter cards with flowers I’ll stamp. Might even add a
Bunny!
The bunny is actually really cute, Barbara! The basket is what “got me,” but I’ve since fallen in love with the bunnies and eggs. Thanks!
In seeing possibilities beyond Easter with this set. Take the handle off of the basket and fill it with fruit…. or a flower arrangement…. or more bunnies 😆
Great idea, Vicki! You are right that the basket can easily be converted to a “less Eastery” basket. Good eye!
