Did you catch my Live Online Paper Crafting Class on YouTube last night? I altered the Loveliest Wishes Kits Collection Kit in a way that isn’t typical for me. I didn’t double the cards. I didn’t turn them into fun fold cards. Instead I added more color! I hope I didn’t offend whoever designed this kit, but I thought it was on the “plain” side and needed a bit more. 🫢
One of the paper packs that will be debuting with the new January release products (on 1/6/26) is called Lovely & Beautiful DSP (Designer Series Paper). The colors within are the perfect match to the elements in the Loveliest Wishes Kit. I was so excited about this coordination that I decided to gift a sampler of this kit, this designer paper, and some Two-Tone Cardstock (Soft Sea Foam & Petal Pink) to my consistent Paper Pumpkin subscribers – those who have had an active subscription with me in the months of September – November. And I gave an EXTRA sampler with some Pearls of Beauty embellishments to those who have been with me for 6 months… June – November. (Thank you subscribers! I hope you have all received your envelopes by now. Enjoy!)
I took those products and put together these alternate celebratory cards.
Interested to see how they came together?
Be sure to watch my instructional video by clicking here* for measurements, tips and directions (or you can just click on this image below if you are already here in my blog post and can view it), scroll through the photos that follow, check out the products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video.
Below are photos of the cards I shared, a visual list of products (each linked to where you can find them in my online store), and measurements. I also demonstrated one more alternate card idea that I forgot to share with the Bunch of Thanks Kit on 12/27/25. So you will also see photos of that card along with the photos of the other extra cards I introduced at the end of that December class.
I invite you to subscribe to my YouTube channel so you can get updates when I share and go live. And click here to view my calendar of upcoming Lives.
Here are the Loveliest Wishes/Lovely & Beautiful cards I shared in last night’s class (in the video linked to this post).
If you have this kit and these supplies on hand, I’d love to see what you put together! Join my Facebook Group and post your cards.
And here are the extra Bunch of Thanks cards. This first one on the left I shared in last night’s class. The other three were extras I shared at the end of the 12/27/25 class. You’ll find that other video linked to THIS post.
Thanks for tuning in today. I hope I inspired your creativity.
