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).

ANNUAL CATALOG NEWS
Due to recent supplier issues (and other factors), Stampin’ Up! will no longer be carrying the current die-cutting machine and trimmer: The Big Shot and Stampin’ Trimmer are retiring. These changes are giving Stampin’ Up! the opportunity to research and explore replacement options. But there will be a gap when we do not have a trimmer or die-cutting machine available. You will not see these items in the upcoming 2019-20 Annual Catalog that debuts June 4, 2019. Click here for more information.
#APaperPumpkinThing
Yay! Today is the day where a creative team of us Stampin’ Up!® demonstrators bring to you our special “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 January 2019 “Be Mine Valentine” 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.
This kit contained enough supplies (plus extras!) to make 24 of these cute Valentine treat boxes. (Click here to see the January 2019 kit video put out by Stampin’ Up!® where you can view how to put these treat boxes together.) I loved how generous Stampin’ Up! was with the consumables. There were a ton of extras left over to make into cards or other projects. AND this kit coordinates with Stampin’ Up! products from the Animal Expedition Suite. So the options are truly amazing for alternate project ideas.
I shared a few ideas on Tuesday, but today I have another card to share AND a Memories & More photo pocket page layout. I used the Beautifully Detailed Laser-Cut Paper for both of them bringing in more Petal Pink color to go with the enamel heart embellishments in the kit.
I thought this bunny page would be perfect for sharing photos of a new baby!
The hearts can be “bullet points” where the baby’s stats or gifts received are listed.
And the baby’s name could be written in the large heart as the title of the page.
But it could also be a fun layout for Easter photos.
If you wish to recreate the page layout with your kit contents, follow the measurements and tips below.
Measurements of extra products:
Basic Gray Cardstock (photo mats):
Three pieces that are 3″ x 4″
Two pieces that are 6″ x 4″
Petal Pink Cardstock:
6″ x 4″
Whisper White Cardstock:
6″ x 4″
Scrap to punch the 1-1/8″ scallop circle bunny tail
Measurements of kit products:
Box bases (two):
Cut two bunny ears from one base, then cut the remaining piece to 4″ x 3″
Cut the other base to 4″ x 4-1/4″
Extra Stampin’ Up! Products I Used: See below for a full list of extra supplies linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Tips:
Trim pieces desired from the laser-cut paper, sponge Multipurpose Glue on the back side, then adhere.
Punch the bunny’s head from an extra circle piece in the kit. Assemble bunny before attaching it to the page piece.
The bunny tail, the large heart, and the small hearts are all attached with Dimensionals. You may want to write on the large heart before adding the Dimensionals.
The laser-cut paper on the piece with the small hearts came from a border section. Cut that section a little longer than 4″ then cut in half down the middle to get the “mirroring” pieces.
The cards I created will be going out in the mail next week to a few of my subscribers. I love how Cherry Cobbler and Petal Pink look together, so the only extra products I used to make these cards are the laser-cut paper, Petal Pink cardstock for the inside layer in the card, Cherry Cobbler cardstock, and Cherry Cobbler ink.
Each card is a little unique because of the variety of pieces I cut from the other sheet (shown in front below) of laser-cut paper.
If you wish to recreate this card with your kit contents, follow the measurements and tips below.
Measurements of extra products:
Cherry Cobbler Cardstock:
11″ x 4-1/4″ scored at 5-1/2″ and folded in have for the card base
Petal Pink Cardstock:
3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ for the inside layer
Extra Stampin’ Up! Products I Used: See below for a full list of extra supplies linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Tips:
Trim pieces desired from the laser-cut paper, sponge Multipurpose Glue on the back side, then adhere tucked under the heart. Don’t adhere heart until laser-cut pieces are added.
The sentiment layer, the heart on the inside, and the kangaroo are all attached with Dimensionals.

It’s finally time for me to share more ideas that I came up with using the contents of the June 2018 Paper Pumpkin kit! Here is what came in this past month’s kit, You Are My Anchor.
Watch the video first to get to get measurements, directions, and tips. Then scroll down to see close-up photos, links for more information shared in the video, and a list of extra supplies (linked to my online store) mentioned or used to make my creations.
Here are the cards that the kit instructs how to make. The kit makes four of each of these. (I made one each. And then I used the remaining pieces of my kit to make all the rest of my projects shared today. Yep! I only used ONE kit for everything. And I still have several leftover pieces.)
Here are close-up photos of the projects I shared in my video above. I sure had fun creating them!
A CELEBRATORY CAKE TOPPER
We enjoyed this cake afterwards for a belated Father’s Day celebration.
A COOKIE STRAW GIFT
A 12X12 SCRAPBOOK PAGE LAYOUT
A CHRISTMAS TREE POCKET PHOTO PAGE LAYOUT
I obviously had fun rearranging the letters from the Hooray stickers.
A SIMPLE CARD WITH LEFTOVER SCRAPS
A FUN Z-FOLD “CAKE” CARD
You’ll want to watch the video for tips to make the sliced cake pieces!
I LOVE that Stampin’ Up! made a whole suite of products to coordinate with this month’s kit!
