But this “Cherish” card shown above was actually inspired by the layout that I originally made with this card below.
Some of you may think you’ll use up your pretty papers too quickly if you cover the whole front of a card. But look how easy it is to make a pretty card without a lot of fuss. AND my guess is that those of you not using much designer paper also have quite a bit of pretty paper that you may NEVER use…piles of it? wink wink Designer paper is meant to be used and not hidden away and hoarded in our craft rooms. So dig it out. And use this simple layout for inspiration to make cards that you can send off to your family and friends!

I’m playing with fun fold cards again. (surprise surprise) And I’ve really been into bringing Vellum Cardstock into the mix of those cards. I love the challenge of having transparency in parts to show off the depth of the card while at the same time trying to conceal adhesives. The Silver Elite Retreat invitation I made for Cheryl is one example. And my upcoming project in the March 2020 All Stars Exclusive Tutorials being released tomorrow is another.
This time I made a vellum-based slide-out pocket fun fold using the Lily Impressions Designer Paper, the Under My Umbrella Stamp Set, and Umbrella Builder Punch. Cheryl, my mom and I made the blue version of this card at my Silver Elite Retreat this month. And the purple one became my project for my past Wednesday’s Facebook Live Online Paper Crafting Class.
In my class I also shared tips and tricks for making this card without any adhesive showing AND the differences between this card and ones I’ve made before – what my thinking was when I changed up the measurements.
I uploaded the recorded version of my Facebook Live video to my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook). And then I was able to share it here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog), scroll through the close-up photos, 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. Click here to see the slide-out pocket fun folds I made with the February 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit. Click here to see some fun ones that I shared on September 29, 2018. Below are measurements, more close-up photos, and a product list for the cards I demonstrated.
By the way I forgot to mention that I added extra rhinestones on the Vellum in the “It’s Your Day” area of the card. After adding those two rhinestones, I then put glue dots behind them on the other side of the Vellum to connect the Vellum to the Whisper White layer.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.

4-1/4” x 11” scored parallel to short end at 3-1/4” and 2-1/4”

My latest Stamp-n-Storage purchase? I love the new 6×7 Storage Pockets. The are great for holding my Magnet Sheets (also from Stamp-n-Storage) which hold my dies.
I store them so I can see the dies from the front. And I store my info sheet (that reminds me of the die set name and the number of dies that came in that set) right within behind the magnetic sheet.
I suppose I could even add labels to the tabs. But I haven’t taken the time to do that yet. Hahaha!

#APaperPumpkinThing Welcome to our monthly “A Paper Pumpkin Thing” blog hop! See what I have to share. Then check out all the other blogs in the hop to see additional creative alternate paper crafting project ideas that we each came up with using the contents of the February 2020 Lovely Day Paper Pumpkin kit. To follow the hop and see other creative project ideas, simply scroll down and click on the names of other hop participants. (If you are receiving this blog post by email, click HERE to see the hop.)
Here is a photo of the intended projects from this month’s kit: nine 4-1/4” x 5-1/2” cards and envelopes that will help you celebrate birthdays and other grand occasions.
I’ve already shared a few other alternate projects using the contents of this kit on February 23rd.
Today I have for you two more projects: another mini gift bag (the one that Paper Pumpkin shared in it’s Facebook Live last night using the original dimensions from Linda Heller) and a 12×12 scrapbook page layout. Have a party for someone dear to you, and give them a gift card in this mini bag. Then take photos and add a couple favorites to this scrapbook page as a memorabilia of the event!
Products I used for these projects… See below for a complete list of extra products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
I got the idea for this bag from my team members, Nancy & Kayla at Stampinbae.com. They got the measurements from Linda Heller. It’s such an adorable size and is a perfect way to give a gift card.
Measurements to prepare…
Pretty Peacock striped card base from kit
(cut according to directions below)
Whisper White Cardstock
Scrap for stamping and punching cake/sentiment image
Silver Foil Sheets
Scrap for punching Starburst
Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon
7-1/2″
Directions…
Cut 1/4″ off each short end of the open Pretty Peacock striped card base from the kit. These will be the handles of the bag. Set them aside. Cut another 1/2″ off one of the ends and discard. Cut the remaining piece parallel to the long side at 4-1/4″ so you end up with a 7-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ bag base piece.
This piece includes a score line at 3-1/2″ from one end. With that score line included in these measurements score parallel to it so you end up with score lines at 2-1/2″, 3″, 3-1/2″, 6″, 6-1/2″ and 7″. Then score parallel to the long side at 1″.
Follow the remaining bag assembly directions (if needed) from the video I shared on February 23rd.
For the front embellishment, stamp the sentiment words stacked close to one another. Then stamp the cake slice image closely above that. Punch with the 2″ Circle punch purposely leaving off the top part of the candle. Adhere to the punched Silver Foil Starburst shape. Add a silver candle from the Candle Embellishments. Then put on the front of the bag with Dimensionals.
This kit coordinates perfectly with the Happy Birthday to You Stamp Set (item 152308), which is available free as part of Stampin’ Up!’s Sale-A-Bration promotion. So I added images (die-cut with the coordinating Birthday Dies – also available for a limited time) to make this page layout.
Measurements to prepare…
Basic Black Cardstock
Two pieces that are 5-5/8″ x 4-1/4″
5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″
Pretty Peacock striped card base from kit
Two pieces that are 5-1/2″ x 4-1/8″
Circle medallion from kit
one whole one flipped over to the all white side
one whole one cut in half
Whisper White Cardstock
Scrap for stamping and die-cutting full cake
Scrap for stamping and die-cutting flowers only
Champagne Foil Sheets
Scraps for die-cutting cake plate and three branches
Directions…
Stamp, die-cut, and color flowers. Stamp and die-cut full cake (cut off the bottom). Die-cut the cake plate and the branches.
Stamp the sentiment onto the left half of the longest rectangular label from the kit.
Layer Pretty Peacock striped card base pieces onto coordinating Basic Black pieces. Layer printed Pool Party piece from the kit onto the remaining Basic Black piece. Adhere flipped over medallion. Position these three main layers onto the Pear Pizzazz 12×12 Cardstock base. And once they are where you want them, stamp the large flower image using VersaMark ink so they appear to be peeking out from behind the photo mats. (Move the mats when stamping.)
Now adhere mats using adhesive just in the four corners of the photo mats and in the center of the other layer. This will allow the remaining pieces to be tucked underneath where needed.
For each half medallion, add a Champagne branch with a glue dot. Then put adhesive on the back of the half medallions, tuck under the layer next to it, and secure to the page.
Adhere the sentiment banner strip so it is also tucked under the layer next to it while attaching the foam celebrate piece right below. Cut an end from another banner piece in the kit and adhere this tucked under the other side of that photo mat.
Attach full cake and cake plate with Dimensionals while attaching the third branch piece coming out the upper right. And add the second colored layer of cake flowers with Dimensionals so they are lined up with the flowers underneath.

Here’s a card that may blow your mind. It’s called a Hexaflexagon. And it’s made from just one 2″ x 12″ strip of paper! A little background on this type of fun fold from Wikepedia… “In geometry, flexagons are flat models, usually constructed by folding strips of paper, that can be flexed or folded in certain ways to reveal faces besides the two that were originally on the back and front. Flexagons are usually square or rectangular or hexagonal. The discovery of the first flexagon, a trihexaflexagon, is credited to the British student Arthur H. Stone, who was studying at Princeton University in the United States in 1939.”

MY ONLINE PAPER CRAFTERS CLUB IS LOOKING FOR NEW MEMBERS We are looking for more to join our online Paper Crafters club. The commitment is to order at least $25 worth of Stampin’ Up! product in each of 6 consecutive months. In one of those months, you would reap the hosting rewards (free merchandise based on the club orders). And then you’d also be able to get in on monthly product perks that would be sent to you along with your monthly club cards.
The February 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit is in my hands, and I’ve been having a GRAND time creating alternate projects with it! I LOVE the rose gold accenting and the sparkling pink sequins. The color combination (Petal Pink, Pool Party, Pretty Peacock, Rich Razzleberry, Rococo Rose, and Old Olive) is so inviting. And the stamp set is one of those that is a true keeper. I hope many of you were able to get your hands on this one.
The kit is titled Lovely Day and it included supplies to put together nine 4-1/4” x 5-1/2” cards and envelopes. And it included the supplies shown below.
I like to think outside the box…see what else I can come up with, and create alternate cards, scrapbook pages and more. So I added the extra supplies in the product list at the bottom of this post to the above kit contents and created my alternate projects that I’m sharing with you today:
Two Slide-Out Pocket Fun Fold Cards
Mini Gift Bags (Make Two From One Card Base)
A Hexaflexagon Card
And Three Cards Made Using the Extras In the Kit
Watch my video first to get to get measurements, directions, and tips (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog). 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 have many more alternate projects that I’ll be sharing soon. 😁
Here are the cards the kit instructs how to make.
And here are close-up photos of the alternate projects I made and shared in my video. (Remember to watch the video first to get measurements, tips and directions.)

(Though this kit coordinates perfectly with the Happy Birthday to You Stamp Set (item 152308), which is available free as part of Stampin’ Up!’s Sale-A-Bration promotion, I did not use that set in ANY of today’s projects. But I WILL be sharing more later. So stay tuned.)
I hope I inspired your creativity with what I shared today!
