Jan 2025 Hearts For You Alternates Set 1

My January Paper Pumpkin kit arrived last night. Yep! I’m not one of the subscribers lucky enough to get my kits early. 🤣 Thankfully my friends Nancy & Kayla loaned me one of theirs so I could get a head start. I designed my first set of alternate projects on Monday using the contents of this card kit and a bit of other coordinating product. I’m sharing those with you today. Then I’ll share more on February 7th for the “A Paper Pumpkin Thing” blog hop. Please be sure to visit again. Then I create and share one more idea which I contribute to the collection of exclusives that my Paper Pumpkin Creatives Team is currently compiling. I share these freely with my Paper Pumpkin subscribers and team members and will be offering them for purchase on February 1st here in my Tutorials for Sale page.

Here are the consumable supplies (minus the stamp set and ink) that come with this kit.

This kit has enough supplies to make 9 Valentine-themed cards (3 of 3 kinds). Do you want to make them as intended? Click here for a link to Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video.

But I never assemble my kits as is, because I like to show kit recipients other ways to use their supplies. I like to think outside the box, see what else I can come up with, and create alternate cards, scrapbook pages, and more. So today I’m sharing with you two card ideas and a treat idea in case you want to use the supplies for classroom or co-worker Valentines.

Watch my video here to get to get measurements, directions, and tips (or you can just click on this image below if you are already in my blog post). Scroll down to see close-up photos, access the links that I mentioned in my video, and see a list of extra supplies (linked to my online store) that I used to make my creations. Then be sure to visit my blog again soon, because I’ll have many more alternate projects that I’ll be sharing in future posts!

I hope you enjoyed what I shared and gained some creative inspiration! Below are close-up photos of the alternate projects I made and shared in my video. (Remember to watch my video first to get measurements, tips and directions.)

**Products that I’ve shared or mentioned are shown/listed below and are currently linked to my online store.

Lindt Chocolate Valentine Treats
You can make 18 using the foil stickers and another 8 more by fussy cutting other hearts if you want to use up all the sparkly heart embellishments.

Angled Front Panel Back-Fold Card
This is based on the directions I shared during my 11/22/24 Mystery Stamping video and post.

Simple Note Card
Yay for Stampin’ Write Markers! Owning these is an affordable way to collect a lot of ink colors. Know that you can get two sets of markers for free in the Starter Kit now through the end of February.

If you did not get this kit, I hope you can apply these ideas to products you already own. OR…become an active subscriber and get in on the refill kit. (The refill typically shows up in the online store soon after the 20th.) It doesn’t contain the ink and stamp images. But you will at least gain the main pieces and can hopefully replace most of the stamp images I used with some of your own.

If you are not a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, I invite you to give it a try. CLICK HERE to learn more. CLICK HERE to sign up by February 10th for this next kit.
