A Paper Pumpkin Thing "Notes From the Heart"

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.
