My first set of alternate January 2023 Key to My Heart Paper Pumpkin projects is ready to share! Hopefully you enjoy what I came up with. My favorite is the pendulum card, but the mini album was fun to make too! The simple idea of interlocking the padlocks might inspire those of you that love the kit cards the way they are, but just want to add a “little something.” Then there is the card with the flap door! (I hope that helps with a variation on that cut out card.) AND… I think moms of little kids will appreciate the idea of doubling the treat containers in the coordinating Heart Boxes add-on.
This love-themed kit contained the supplies shown below to make nine Valentine cards (3 of 3 kinds).
But I like to think outside the box and see what else I can come up with. So here are my instructional videos for what I created.
Watch my videos first by clicking here and here to get to get measurements, directions, and tips (or you can just click on the images below if you are alreadyin my blog post). Scroll down to see close-up photos, access the links that I mentioned in my videos, 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 have more that I’ll be sharing on February 3rd.
Here are the cards the kit instructs how to make. (Click here for a link to Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video to help you assemble these as intended.)

Too fun! Look at these cheerful farm-themed Extended 3-Panel Scenery Z-Fold cards I made with the A Day At The Farm Sale-a-Bration 2023 Designer Paper Pack, sentiment images from the Best Family Ever Stamp Set, the Layering Circle Dies, the Banners Pick-a-Punch, and some other coordinating products!
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
I created these cards back in early December and am just now getting around to sharing them with all of you here on my blog. (There is always so much to share! Hahaha) But I had shown these in my weekly Live to my Stampers With ART Stars group on December 7th (demonstrators can get their hands on products about a month earlier than everyone else). This paper is PERFECT for this type of card, right?!
Here are the measurements for the main pieces…
Measurements
Base cardstock (Garden Green or Basic White)
5-1/2” x 11” scored parallel to the short end at 3-1/16” from the left and 4-1/4” from the right
Inside sentiment panel cardstock
1-13/16” (or just over 1-3/4”) x 5-1/4”
A Day At The Farm Designer Paper
8-1/2” wide x 5-1/4” tall – cut into 3 sections 3-3/8” wide, 3” wide and 2-1/8” wide
And then you’ll need other cardstock, ribbon, etc for the front sentiment pieces and embellishments.
Tips
After folding the card base and opening it back up, add the inside sentiment panel cardstock.
Fold the card shut again and attach the left of the three designer papers to the top base cardstock section so that the right edge and corners line up and conceal the inside sentiment panel cardstock peeking out. (Be careful where you place your adhesive.) This paper should end up within 1/8″ approximately from all the cardstock edges it sits within.
Open the card back up again and add the other two designer paper pieces in the remaining sections so that everything looks evenly spaced.
Stamp the inside sentiment
Then punch or die-cut the front sentiment pieces, stamp the sentiment, layer the pieces, and add the sentiment. In the case of the banners, trim off any excess cardstock going beyond the edge.
Embellish with the Pastel Self-Adhesive Sequins.
For the “barn” card, you can see up above in the photo clip from the Live that the paper came from the upper right of the designer paper sheet 1″ down from the top.
You’ll also want to trim the white banner after stamping it. Then layer it onto the green banner and trim again so the green border goes all the way around. The banner length doesn’t matter much, but my punched white one measures 2-7/8″.
I added 4 gold sequins to finish it off.
The card with the large flowers in the corner came from the lower left corner of that same designer paper sheet (1/2″ from the bottom).
As I was putting it together during that Live, I discovered the lamb in the upper left had to get cut… through the head. Ouch! So that’s why I placed my sentiment banner strip in the other direction to cover up the rest of the lamb. Now when the card is open it only looks like that lamb is peeking out from behind the banner. I also attached the banner with a Dimensional under the left edge and Seal under the right.
I added 6 pink sequins to complete the card.
The last one uses the rolling hills design for the main designer paper panels. I added the animals from the designer paper which I cut out with the coordinating On The Farm Dies. Yes,… so if you decide to get the On The Farm Dies or even the bundle of stamps and dies (and your total order comes to at least $50 during Sale-a-Bration), just know that you’ll probably want to choose this designer paper pack for your free SAB pick.
I then colored about 19″ of Black/White Gingham Ribbon with the Daffodil Delight Blends Marker. After it dried, I wrapped it around and tied it in a bow.
I used the Layering Circle Dies (2-1/8″ diameter and 2-3/8″ diameter) for the sentiment which I added with Dimensionals to give the sentiment a bit of a lift but to also secure the ribbon in place.
I added 7 blue sequins to finish off the card.
I love team member Vy Tran’s take on this card which she shared here on her blog. It’s vertical and uses the paper in a way where you could get TWO cards from one sheet with sky, farm land, and animals. VERY fun!
And if you are on Facebook and are part of my Stamp Your Art Out Group (or want to join it), you’ll see that Susan Pollock Wormley and I were creating on the same wavelength. Be sure you are in that group, then click here to see her card. It’s a bit more stepped up than mine, but our cards are identical in many other ways. Hahaha! I absolutely LOVE her version, too!

A couple days ago, on Wednesday I shared a couple bright and fun Valentine cards using new products from the upcoming Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog. And in the video I gave a peek at the related card that I’m sharing today…another Cut Flap-Fold Card with products from that Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog AND from the 2023 Sale-a-Bration Brochure which are both debuting 1/5/23 (the Adorable Owls Stamp Set, the Alphabet A La Mode Dies, and the Dandy Designs Designer Paper).
Here is today’s card. Two of these items (the designer paper and the stamp set) are products you can earn for free with qualifying orders January 5 – February 28, 2023 because they are part of the Sale-a-Bration promotion. The Adorable Owls set is free with a $50 order. And the Dandy Designs paper is free with a $100 order.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
Dandy Designs Designer Paper
1/2” x <5-1/2”
Basic White Cardstock
4-1/4” x <5-1/2”
Scrap for stamping and die-cutting second largest stitched circle (which measures just over 2-1/2” in diameter)
Basic Black Cardstock
2-3/4” x 11” folded in half at 5-1/2”
Mango Melody Cardstock
Scraps for die-cutting letters and sentiment banner
Balmy Blue & White Variegated Ribbon
16”
Directions…
I highly recommend watching the video from Wednesday so you can see the basics and tips and tricks for putting together a card like this.
Cut and prepare all the supplies listed in the measurements. (Be sure to apply Adhesive Sheets adhesive behind the Mango Melody scrap before die-cutting the letters.)
After die-cutting the letters add the color and add Wink of Stella. After die-cutting the owl, color then add the Wink of Stella. Allow these to dry.
Stamp and die-cut the sentiment banner (words should be off to the right).
Die-cut the Basic Black Cardstock.
Assemble the card…
Add the designer paper strip.
Add the black cardstock.
Tie on the ribbon making sure to secure with adhesive under the section that will be covered by the owl layer.
Add the owl circle layer.
Then add the sentiment banner on the inside and trim off the excess hanging off the left edge.
Add the letters and the then the sequins.
These were the cards that I made and sent to the people in my Stampers With ART group with December birthdays. They are so fun and easy to make! But I’m officially out of Wink of Stella now after using the last of mine on these cards and the Valentines I shared on Wednesday. Hahaha! I even tried to revive my two pens with a bit of rubbing alcohol (as suggested by my viewers during the Live). But I’m just gonna need to buy more.
Have a fantastic New Year’s Eve. Enjoy… but also be safe on those roads!

My friend Carol Rosengren is a saint! My December 2022 Paper Pumpkin kits have been sitting at the post office since the 19th. So I put the word out to my fellow demonstrator friends, and she said she could help by loaning me her kit. PLUS…she even drove it over to me two nights ago when we had a snow storm! I got straight to business, designed my projects, recorded my video yesterday morning, edited it all by bedtime last night, and now I have everything for my first set of alternate project ideas ready to share with you. Yay!
This “Good Things Come in Small Packages” kit contained the supplies shown below to make sixteen colorful and cheerful gift card holder boxes.
But I never assemble my kits as is, because I like to show subscribers other ways to use those 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…
Three diorama cards & a “made from scratch” envelope
A simple way to turn those 16 boxes into 32 (doubling the kit)
A door hanger pouch
And a card with a gift card pocket

12 tags turned into 36 cards (tripling the kit) These are 9 cards made from the supplies of 3 tags. To get 36, make everything 4 times.
A unique advent calendar I decorated the kit box, added a special insert made from cardstock, and then added decorated and numbered mini envelopes.
I hope I inspired your creativity with what I shared today! If you did not get this kit, I hope you can apply these ideas to products you already own.
