Today I have two more alternate projects to share that I made with the Sending Hearts Paper Pumpkin kit. Tomorrow is the last day to sign up (or have an active subscription) for Paper Pumpkin so you get in on this month’s February kit. And if your subscription is through me, you’ll be able to enjoy exclusive ideas shared in video tutorials from myself and 5 other creative Stampin’ Up! demonstrators on the PPX Crew.
Here are a two more projects that I created with this past month’s Sending Hearts kit: a love-themed scrapbook page layout and a z-fold layer card.
My page layout was built around the triangle tile heart pattern you may have seen in quilting.
Extra products I used… See below for a complete list of extra products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
Basic Gray 12×12 Cardstock (from the Neutrals pack)
Two pieces that are 12″ x 12″
Red patterned card base from the kit
Five squares that are 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″
Two squares that are 1-1/2″ x 1-1/2″
Red envelope paper from the kit
Five squares that are 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″
Two squares that are 2″ x 2″
Basic White Cardstock
Six squares that are 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″
Basic Black Cardstock for photo mats (these can be various sizes based on your photos)
4-1/2″ x 5-1/2″
4″ x 5-1/4″
Two pieces that are 4-1/8″ x 5-1/2″
Two pieces that are 4-1/8″ x 4-1/8″
Directions…
Prepare all the pieces according the measurements above.
Then cut all the squares diagonally to get triangles.
Form the heart by following the pattern in the photo below. After laying it all out with spacing that seems even, adhere one piece at a time. (I found it easiest to add corners, then sides, and then the middle.)
Attach the smaller triangles on the right page next.
Stamp the large heart and the hearts/flowers image/
Add photo mats, double stacked “Love”, and the pearls.
My z-fold layer card was so much fun to make that I made extras and sent them off to five of my lucky subscribers.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements
Basic Black Cardstock
4-1/4” x 9-3/4” scored parallel to short side at 3-1/4″ and 6-1/2”
4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
Red patterned card base from the kit
4″ x 5-1/4″ with center 3″ x 4″ piece removed (see directions below) and flipped over
Two pieces that are 1/4″ x 3″
Printed heart piece from the kit
Cut off 1/8″ from each side to get a 3″ x 3-1/2″ piece
Black satin ribbon from the kit
12″
Directions
To get all the red patterned card base pieces, cut one of the card bases in the kit in half. Then cut 1/4″ off the the side and 1/4″ off the bottom. From those strips cut two 3″ lengths. Then to remove the center 3″ x 4″ piece from the remaining 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece, cut 1/2″ in on the right and left and cut 5/8″ in from the top and bottom.
Stamp “Love” and “you” onto heart piece. Stamp “xoxo” on flipped over center card base piece.
Tie the ribbon onto the heart piece.
Fold the Basic Black z-fold layer. Attach the frame card base piece to the 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ Basic Black. Then attach the z-fold layer so it’s centered and opens as shown in the photos.
Add the thin red strips, then the heart layer to the front of the closed z-fold.
Open up the z-fold and add the pink enamel hearts from the kit and some Gold Glitter Enamel Dots to finish the card.
Looking for more ideas? Be sure to check out my fun alternate projects that I shared on January 23rd and January 28th. 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.

I have to share with you a few cute cards that I made with the Snail Mail Designer Paper. My plan was to also use my Snailed It Stamp Set and Snail Dies,
…but I couldn’t find them. I looked and looked. And then I remembered I sent them to my team member Elizabeth Hebert last month during preorder time so she could start creating her fun Showcase Stamper projects that you’ll see on my blog tomorrow. Too funny…AND I forgot to reorder them for myself when January 5th came. So these cards will show you that the Snail Mail Designer Paper CAN stand alone if you want.
I’m in love with the mushroom images. So I fussy-cut a bunch of them from one of the sheets in the paper pack. Then I cut strips from the sheet with the rows of smaller mushroom. And I came up with these card designs.
(The cards opened up all look the same.)
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements
Basic White Thick Cardstock
4-1/4” x 9-3/4” scored parallel to short side at 5-1/2”
Scrap for punching 2-1/4″ Circle
Basic Black Cardstock
4-1/4″ x 1/2″
4-1/4″ x 1-1/2″
Blushing Bride Cardstock
Scrap for punching 2″ Circle
Snail Mail Designer Paper (rows of mushrooms)
4-1/4″ x 3/4″
Snail Mail Designer Paper (Bermuda Bay with stitched swirled)
4-1/4″ x 1-1/4″
Oh So Ombré Designer Paper (Bermuda Bay)
4-1/4″ x 2″
Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon
4-1/4″
Directions
After cutting all the pieces and punching the circles, start assembling your card.
Add the blue at the bottom exposed inside section first. Then add the black cardstock at the top and bottom of the front flap. (You should see a section of white about 1/8″ tall between the black and bottom blue.)
Add the Oh So Ombré layer next under the top black.
Add adhesive under the top edge of the mushroom strip. Then add the ribbon to this. Using a bit more adhesive behind the paper strip, add it to the card as shown so it exposes just a small amount (about 1/8″) of black.
Add the larger mushroom/s to the pink circle. (Trim the bottom of the mushroom/s if you wish.) Add the pink circle to the white so it’s a little off-center. Then add this to the front of the card.
Embellish with Resin Hearts and/or Rhinestones.
I had some leftover mushroom strips. So then I played around and made this one.
I used the Forever & Always Stamp Set for the sentiments.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements
Bermuda Bay Cardstock
4-1/4” x 9-1/4” scored parallel to short side at 5-1/2”
Basic Black Cardstock
4-1/4″ x 2″
Snail Mail Designer Paper (rows of mushrooms)
Four strips that are 4-1/4″ x 3/4″
Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon
Three pieces that are 4-1/4″
Directions
Add adhesive under the top edges of the mushroom strips. Then add the ribbons to these. Using a bit more adhesive behind the paper strips, add them to the card front as shown so they expose just a small amount (about 1/8″) of blue. It’s easiest to add the top and bottom strips first.
Add the black at the bottom exposed inside section. Close the card and stamp the word “together” with VersaMark ink. Add white embossing powder, shake off excess, then heat emboss.
Attach fussy-cut mushrooms just above the embossed word tucking the ends under the black layer.
Stamp the word “always.”
Then add the Resin Hearts.

What a fun love-themed Paper Pumpkin kit! I just put together my first set of alternate projects using the January 2021 Sending Hearts Paper Pumpkin monthly subscription kit! And I’m excited to share them with you today!
This adorable kit contained the supplies shown below to make eight heart-filled full-size cards.
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…
How to turn eight cards into twenty!
A few variations with the coordinating Love Boxes Add-On kit (available while supplies last)
And a couple two-compartment treat boxes
Watch my video first by clicking 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 have many more alternate projects that I’ll be sharing on January 28 and again on February 9th.
Here are the two styles of 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.)

Cutting a 6×6 piece of designer paper in the way that I’m going to share with you today makes it SOOOoo easy to give your cards that fun angled corner layer without waste. I used to just add a rectangular layer at an angle and trim up the excess on the two sides, but it took a bit more planning to make sure I was adding a good size rectangular piece without making it too big. Because again…I didn’t want to have too much waste. So check this out!
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements
Basic White Thick Cardstock
4-1/4” x 11” scored parallel to short side at 5-1/2”
Scraps for stamping and die-cutting flowers
Basic Black Cardstock
4″ x 5-1/4″
Scrap for die-cutting sentiment piece
Smoky Slate Cardstock
3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″
In Color 2020–2022 6×6 Designer Series Paper (available in the January 2021 Sale-a-Bration Starter Kit) – Magenta Madness
1/4 piece of 6×6 (cut as directed below)
Directions
Mark lightly with a pencil 1-1/2″ in from each left corner on all four sides of your 6×6 designer paper. Use a straight-edge or ruler to draw a light line to connect the marks opposite of each other. Use the Trimmer to cut along those lines. Then erase the pencil marks or flip the paper over and use that side instead as your visible layer.
Add a piece of Adhesive Sheet to your Basic Black scrap. Die-cut the word “love.”
Stamp then die-cut the flowers. Use a Blending Brush to add a bit of Magenta Madness ink to the center of each flower. Use a Bone Folder to curl up the ends of the petals.
Attach the Magenta Madness designer Paper to the upper corner of the Smoky Slate layer.
Stamp “you so very much” parallel to and about 1/2″ from the bottom edge. Peel off the release paper from the die-cut “love” and attach to the card as shown.
Adhere this layer to the Basic Black layer, then adhere all of that to the Basic White card base.
Add the flowers.
And finally embellish with a few Rhinestones in the flower centers.
If you have a big wish list and would like to become a discount shopper, I recommend purchasing some of what’s on your wish list in the Sale-a-Bration Starter Kit. That’s how you’ll be able to get your hands on 200 sheets of this pretty monochromatic 6×6 patterned paper, too. (That paper is the free gift that is in the Sale-a-Bration Starter Kit available through the end of February. Click here for more details about Sale-a-Bration.)

Today is the last day to sign up for (or have an active subscription for) Paper Pumpkin so you get in on the upcoming November kit. (See the details below). Did you get last month’s kit? If you did, be sure to check out my fun alternate projects that I shared on October 20 and on October 29. And today I have a couple more that I created with the October 2020 Joy to the World kit: a scrapbook page and a fun countdown to Christmas project.
Extra products I used… See below for a complete list of extra products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
My page is love-themed (Valentine, engagement, wedding, etc). Although you could easily change out the title to “joy” or “peace” and maybe include other words or sentiments from the kit’s stamp set if you wish to keep it for Christmas. But I had fun cutting the letters from the other words apart to form the word “you.”
All of the photo mats are the embossed 3″ x 3-1/4″ and 3″ x 4-1/8″ pieces in the kit. So the only pieces I cut were the layers inside the center photo mat: 2-7/8″ x 4″ Cherry Cobbler Cardstock and 2-3/4″ x 3-7/8″ embossed piece from the kit.
Tips…
Lay all the pieces out first without adhering to get a feel for where everything should be.
Lift up the floral pieces and sponge Cherry Cobbler ink onto the Cherry Cobbler Cardstock to create a bit of shadow.
Optional but subtle details you would add at this point: add some score lines to the corners so the are running under the flower areas…add some speckles of Wink of Stella by tapping the brush against something hard as you move it above the base 12×12 cardstock.
Attach the photo mats and gold banners.
Attach the title pieces by sponging Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the back sides.
Add the flower pieces (two are up on Dimensionals) after attaching small loops of the twine (from the kit).
Stamp the berries image here and there around the floral/title areas.
Add Gilded Gems to the flower centers.
The countdown to Christmas project is made with the Christmas Countdown Kit. This is what the kit looks like when assembled as is. BUT there is a backside to each drawer! You can turn the drawers around and decorate them as you wish. So why not have two versions so each year you can change it out for variety?
This is my Joy To the World version!
You’ll want to start out by cutting the kit cards and envelope printed lining into 1-15/16″ x 1-15/16″ squares (cut just under 2″ x 2″). I used two envelopes and two card bases to cut eight Cherry Cobbler printed, nine plain Crumb Cake, and eight foiled Crumb Cake squares.
Tips…
After cutting the squares, use the smallest Layering Circles die to die-cut a notch in the top of each. (Pay attention to the direction of your printed squares.)
Position where you want your floral pieces, then pick up each square to trim the floral piece to fit. You can trim the 1/2 circle notch further out (as shown below) since there is a bit of room between the notch edge and the notch on the actual drawer.
Cut loops from some of the brass foil words and attach them peeking out from under a few of the floral pieces.
After figuring out where your floral pieces will go, stamp the floral stamp image on each of the outer plain Crumb Cake squares. Then adhere the floral pieces.
Attach your squares to the drawer fronts.
Then die-cut your numbers 1-25 from Early Espresso Cardstock scraps that have been backed with Adhesive Sheets. If you don’t have Adhesive Sheets, die-cutting as is is fine. But then I recommend sponging Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the back sides to adhere them to your squares.
I hope I inspired your creativity with what I shared today!

Die-cut a Whisper White and a Soft Sea Foam branch/foliage piece. Cut the Soft Sea Foam one into two pieces.
Cut a couple Forever Gold pieces.
Cut the one with a hexagon in half. Attach the Soft Sea Foam leaves and a couple flipped over laser-cut leaves to the back of each half. And adhere to the card base as shown in the photos below.
Cut the one with the rectangle so that the Soft Sea Foam small rectangle will layer onto it and so it looks like the one on the front of this card. Attach the flipped over portion that was cut off onto the underside.
Stamp the front of the card and the Cherry Cobbler circle with leaf images from the stamp set. Stamp some white dots on the front of the card.
Cut the circle in half and add these pieces to the hexagon halves.
Attach the Soft Sea Foam layers onto the inside of the card.
Add the Whisper White die-cut leaves to the envelope flap using Glue Dots. Then color the ribbon with the Cherry Cobbler Dark Blends marker, allow time to dry, attach to the envelope flap, and trim the ends.
Add a couple Gilded Gems.
Lastly, add the rectangular foliage piece to the front of the card, add the small Soft Sea Foam rectangle sentiment piece with Dimensionals, and add a few Gilded Gems.
