Valentine Card Alternatives using Paper Pumpkin Kit

Today we got together and put our I'll Bee Yours Paper Pumpkin Kits together.  What wonderful cards everyone came up with, and what a wonderful time with friends!  As always, it was just too short of a time together.

I'm going to show you a couple of cards today and more cards later this week so I have time to describe how each card went together.  I love that the I'll Bee Yours Paper Pumpkin Kit for January coordinates with the Heart Punch pack from the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog   If you've used your kit for Valentine Treats and want to make some of these Alternative Cards using elements from the kit, the kit refills are available to order, while they last.  I'll Bee Yours Refill Kit is items # 153628, $10.00 USD.   
    




Here are two of the cards I made today.  You see that I use several other products from our Annual catalog and the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog along with the I'll Bee Yours Paper Pumpkin Kit for January 2020.  I love that the designers at Stampin' Up! make it so easy to coordinate products across our product lines. 
                  




The basecard for the card above is Rococo Rose.  Then a layer of Petal Pink dry embossed with the Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder.  Then the image layer is a square of Rococo Rose and a scalloped square die cut with the Layering Squares Dies.  

Next, there is a Whisper White heart die cuts from the Stitched Be Mine Dies.  I cut them in half so that they peeked out on both sides of the image layer.  The White detailed heart is also die cut using the Stitched Be Mine Dies.  Then I used one of the Rococo Rose hearts from the I'll Bee Yours Paper Pumpkin Kit from January 2020.  I stamped it with one of the stamps from the Heartfelt  Stamp Set.  Then I punched a scalloped Heart using the Heart Punch Pack out of Rococo Rose Cardstock to use as a mat for the heart from the Paper Pumpkin Kit. 

The small stitched Petal Pink heart is die cut using the Stitched Be Mine Dies.  It is stamped with one of the stamps from the I'll Bee Yours Paper Pumpkin Kit using Rococo Rose Ink.  To finish the card, I added some flower accents from the Paper Pumpkin Kit and a bow out of White Baker's Twine from the Paper Pumpkin Kit.   

     

For this second card, the basecard is Gorgeous Grape Cardstock.  Then a layer of Vellum Cardstock dry embossed with the Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder. It gives the card such a nice, soft look.  Then the image layer is a Gorgeous Grape Scalloped Stitched rectangle using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. A Whisper White Square die cut using the Layering Squares Dies is layered on top of the Gorgeous Grape Rectangle.  

The White detailed heart is die cut using one of the Stitched Be Mine Dies.  Then I selected on of the Gorgeous Grape flowered heart die cuts from the I'll Bee Yours Paper Pumpkin Kit.  I stamped the Happy Valentine's Day sentiment from the Paper Pumpkin Kit in Gorgeous Grape onto a Whisper White rectangle from the Stitched Rectangles Dies.  I had a small Gorgeous Grape heart from a Stitched Be Mine Dies which I added to the corner of the sentiment.  Then, I created a bow out of the Purple 3/8" Tricolor Ribbon and added it to the top of the card.

You'll love making alternative projects using your I'll Bee Yours Paper Pumpkin Kit, and products from both the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog and the Stampin' Up! Annual catalog.  You'll stretch your kit contents knowing that you can use your Paper Pumpkin Kit for much more than the projects designed for the kit.

Valentine Card using Heartfelt Stamp Set

  • Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Stamp Set
  • From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper
  • Join us Tuesday morning to assemble your January Paper Pumpkin Kit.  See below 

Valentine Card using Heartfelt Stamp Set

Just three weeks until Valentine's Day, and crafters are busy creating handmade cards.  If you're looking for ideas, here's a card using the Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Stamp Set form the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog that I found on Anne Marie Hile's blog.  It uses the From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper--papers with a glimmer on prints on one side of this paper set.  I used this cute Real Red, Flirty Flamingo and a Whisper White polka dot print on a shiny Real Red background.        
    




The basecard for today's card is Real Red Cardstock.  Then a layer of Whisper White.  Then a layer of the From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper.  

Then I used the Detailed Hearts Die to die cut the hearts overlay out of Flirty Flamingo.  I had used this die on other cards and so I had a collection of left-over Whisper White hearts from an earlier card I had made out of Whisper White and the Detailed Hearts Die.  I chose three of the Whisper White hearts and added them to the hearts on the front on the card.                   




I then used the Heartfelt Stamp Set and stamped the sentiment in Real Red.  This is a reverse sentiment stamp, so stamping on Whisper White created a heart with a white sentiment.  I used the Heart Punch Pack from the Heartfelt Bundle to punch out the sentiment.  Then I punched a scalloped heart using the other punch in the Heart Punch Pack.  I layer them together and mounted the all on a Flirty Flamingo Heart Doilies.  This pack of Doilies includes both Real Red and Flirty Flaming Hearts and when you turn them over, they can be used as White Hearts.  You can also turn them into Silver or Gold Doily Hearts by apply Versamark over the surface, cover with embossing powder and then heat set the embossing powder.   

I tied a bow out of the Real Red 3/8" Double Stitched Satin Ribbon and added it under the sentiment heart.  



  
     

Stmapin' Up! gave us so many Valentine elements to work with in the January-June 2020 Mini catalog.  You'll love playing with the different looks you can get using the From My Heart Suite.  You'll love everything you make with this suite.
