I took the latest #TGIF509 challenge rather literally. I full on closely cased the inspiration graphic. To create my "love you a latte" card I broke out my More Than Autumn Stamps and Dies along with the large heart from the Spring is in the Air Dies.
I had some fun adding color to the Smoky Slate stamped images with Bubble Bath, Pretty in Pink, and Melon Mambo Stampin' Blends. I had to do some masking of the image that says "love you more than" to create the "love you a" Bubble Bath banner. I'll admit it took me four times to mask and stamp my custom greeting to be satisfied with how it looked. In real life the card shimmers and glimmers thanks to my favorite tool Wink of Stella.
Hello stampin' friends and welcome to our latest A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop! This month we are sharing alternative projects created with the Notes From the Heart Paper Pumpkin from December 2024. This Kit was so amazing I used all of my bits and pieces!
Are you new to Paper Pumpkin or simply wondering what it is? Paper Pumpkin Kits get delivered straight to your mailbox. They are filled with all the supplies you need and the directions for assembling the kit projects. Here are the intended projects designed for this November 2024 kit.
As of 1/8/25 the Notes From the Heart Paper Pumpkin Refill was available for $12. SHOP NOW, it's such a beautiful set of coordinating products. Remember, the refill doesn't include the stamps or ink spot.
Those of us who are part of the A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop we love to rearrange, retool, and reimagine the kit contents into our own custom creations. This month I loved pairing the Kit with the Among the Swallows background stamp. I made so many beautiful things. Below are two cards I made with the last few bits that I had. One in a Soft Sea Foam and Old Olive palette and the other in Bubble Bath and Petal Pink.
One of the pieces from the Merry Tags and More Dies is a gorgeous fern leaf. I die cut three from a piece of Soft Sea Foam Cardstock that I colored with a Soft Sea Foam Ink Pad in a direct to paper technique. I layered them on one of the scalloped labels from the Kit. First, I colored the label with an Old Olive Ink Pad in a direct to paper technique. All of that is added to a panel of Soft Sea Foam that I stamped with the Among the Swallows background stamp with Soft Sea Foam ink. To soften the entire look I gently blended Soft Sea Foam ink around the edges and then splattered Wink of Stella along with Old Olive and Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends.
I created this card almost the same as the fern card except instead of stampin' on a panel of Bubble Bath cardstock I stamped the Among the Swallows background stamp on Basic White. It lends to a slightly brighter and more feminine finish.
For the inside of the card I intentionally just stamped the edges of the white panel. I think it's a cool look that brings the card front to the interior.

Sketches have always been my most favorite types of card challenges. #TGIF507 is a sketch that's pretty simple and allows for lots of possibilities.
To bring this sketch to life I used the Fruit Salad 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper. I simply fussy cut five pears and a few leaves and just like that I had a focal point for my card. The tiny "hello" greeting comes from the Heart Shaped Stamp Set. I stamped it with Early Expresso on Soft Sea Foam and then die cut it with the smallest circle from Stylish Shapes. Everything is layered on a Basic White panel that I dry embossed with the Dashing Designs Embossing Folder.

In two days the biggest Stampin' Up! sales event of the year begins! Sale-a-bration offers lots of FREE outstanding products and those brand new items are our focus for this month's Creation Station Blog Hop.
I've mashed up two Sale-a-bration freebies. Both cards are layered up with the Fruit Salad 6"x 6" Designer Series Paper and then detailed with the Heart Shaped Bundle. I also included a favorite stamp set of mine for the Apple Card. It's called Saying Hey.
I do enjoy all the dainty details that the Heart Shaped Bundle offers. The images layer sweetly with the die cuts and the possibilities are endless. The best thing about this Level 2 Bundle is it's free with a qualifying $120 purchase. It's a Level 2 offering which means you can select it with a $120 purchase.
Another item you can choose for free is the Fruit Salad Designer Series Paper. To earn this Paper for free you need to purchase $60. It's such a cute and cheerful pack of prints. I did break out the Saying Hey Stamp Set which is a fabulous greeting set from the Annual Catalog.
Join along and see how each Creation Station Design Team member is celebrating Sale-a-bration! Thanks for visiting with me today. Join us every first Sunday of the month for more creative inspiration.
