Hearts for You Paper Pumpkin

 Hello, my stamping friend!

I received my Paper Pumpkin yesterday. Check the unboxing video:


I love receiving monthly kit where everything is pre-cut and ready for me. This is a nice change from me always designing kits for my classes, lol. I often just make the cards as described in the instructions with just slight modifications.

We worked on the kit together with my mom:

I made the modifications to this card by sponging heart borders with flirty flamingo ink.


For this card, I used different backgrounds:

For this card, I arranged embellishments differently.

I still have some supplies left over to create more cards. Looking forward to seeing alternates and will be ordering the refill!

Team Stamp It Valentine Blog Hop

 Hello, my stamping friend!

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and it's the perfect time to create and send heartfelt cards to let your loved ones know how much you care. Whether it's a romantic message, a sweet note to a friend, or a loving card for family, there's no better way to express your feelings than with a handmade card. 

Here is a set of cards and 2 boxes that are quick to create.  


The best part of it is that you can make 4 different variations of the cards with exactly the same supplies!

I started with the following:

  • Real Red CS: 4 x 5 1/4" 
  • Basic White Cs: 2 1/4 x 3 1/2";
  • DSP: 1 1/2 x 1 1/2"; 1 1/2 x 2 1/4"; 1 1/2 x 3 1/2";
  • Petal Pink CS: 4 1/4 x 11 or 5 1/2 x 8 1/2";
Stamp a sentiment on the basic white. Then decide how to glue all 4 pieces to real red.

To make the funky fold - just add an extra score line! For this one I scored the 5 1/2 x 8 1/2" card base at 2 1/8 and 4 1/4" on a long side.

Watch a video on how to make the card 4 different ways!


I also decorated adorable gift bags.


Do you know that a larger bag perfectly holds at least 4 cards and envelopes? 

Let me know how many Valentine's cards you plan to send this year. Leave a comment to win a prize!
