My Favorite New Glue Holder from The Country Hive Look what Ashley & James created for us! I’m so stinkin’ excited for this new blue butterfly Tombow Glue holder from The Country Hive! It’s the first in their new Creatures line. And it was inspired by my blue morpho website “mascot.” Visit The Country Hive to shop today.
On The Go Suitcase Boxes Yesterday I went live exclusively with my Supporter Members of my YouTube channel. And I demonstrated these adorable On The Go Suitcase Boxes for them. One of the perks of being a Supporter Member (on the second tier of membership) is an exclusive Live each month. It’s a more casual, relaxed Live. In fact I made even more mistakes than usual…Hahaha! But it was a fun morning hanging out with everyone.
February 2025 Kit Together Cards Here are six new alternates that I created the Notes From The Heart Paper Pumpkin Kit. This kit contained supplies for 3 sets of 3 cards. So for my February 16th Kit Together event I mailed each participant 1/3 of this kit. And from that we created these six cards. Event attendees joined together virtually on Zoom for 2 hours of fun and creativity. I demonstrated how to make these cards. And we also took time to socialize, laugh & have fun, and work on our own kits or other projects. There were prize drawings at the end, an ordering special, and I emailed out the recording of the demonstration along with a PDF tutorial for all the cards. It was a lot of fun!
The instructions, tips, supply list, and measurements are exclusive for those that took part in the event. But I at least wanted to share images of the cards I demonstrated to give you a little creative inspiration today AND to entice you to sign up for a future kit together. The extra stamp set I recommended (and used in my samples) is Wonderful Thoughts. If you’d like to take part in a future Kit Together, make sure that you are subscribed to my newsletters so you will be the first to get notices.
Thanks for stopping by today!

Sorry for the delay. I was on a much needed retreat this past week. I rested and enjoyed my time away. I opened my February 2025 Hello Spring Paper Pumpkin kit Monday evening, fell in love with all the beautiful imagery and colors, and put together three unique cards to share with you today. This is my first set of alternate projects. Then I’ll share more on March 1st within the collection of exclusives that my Paper Pumpkin Creatives Team is currently compiling and again on March 7th for the “A Paper Pumpkin Thing” blog hop.
Here are the consumable supplies (minus the stamp set and ink) that come with this kit.
This kit has enough supplies to make 9 springtime cards (3 of 3 kinds). Do you want to make them as intended? Click here for a link to Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video.
I love to show kit recipients other ways to use their 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 a simple window card, an altered double z-fold card, and a “diamond display” card.
Watch my videohere 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 remember to visit my blog again soon, because I’ll have many more alternate projects that I’ll be sharing in future posts!
I hope you enjoyed what I shared and gained some creative inspiration! Below are close-up photos of the alternate cards I created. (Remember to watch my video first to get measurements, tips and directions.)

If you did not get this kit, I hope you can apply these ideas to products you already own. OR…become an active subscriber and get in on the refill kit. The refill kit doesn’t contain the ink and stamp images. But you will at least gain the main pieces and can hopefully replace most of the stamp images I used with some of your own.

My January Paper Pumpkin kit arrived last night. Yep! I’m not one of the subscribers lucky enough to get my kits early. 🤣 Thankfully my friends Nancy & Kayla loaned me one of theirs so I could get a head start. I designed my first set of alternate projects on Monday using the contents of this card kit and a bit of other coordinating product. I’m sharing those with you today. Then I’ll share more on February 7th for the “A Paper Pumpkin Thing” blog hop. Please be sure to visit again. Then I create and share one more idea which I contribute to the collection of exclusives that my Paper Pumpkin Creatives Team is currently compiling. I share these freely with my Paper Pumpkin subscribers and team members and will be offering them for purchase on February 1st here in my Tutorials for Sale page.
Here are the consumable supplies (minus the stamp set and ink) that come with this kit.
This kit has enough supplies to make 9 Valentine-themed cards (3 of 3 kinds). Do you want to make them as intended? Click here for a link to Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video.
But I never assemble my kits as is, because I like to show kit recipients other ways to use their 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 two card ideas and a treat idea in case you want to use the supplies for classroom or co-worker Valentines.
Watch my videohere 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’ll have many more alternate projects that I’ll be sharing in future posts!
I hope you enjoyed what I shared and gained some creative inspiration! Below are close-up photos of the alternate projects I made and shared in my video. (Remember to watch my video first to get measurements, tips and directions.)
**Products that I’ve shared or mentioned are shown/listed below and are currently linked to my online store.
Lindt Chocolate Valentine Treats You can make 18 using the foil stickers and another 8 more by fussy cutting other hearts if you want to use up all the sparkly heart embellishments.
If you did not get this kit, I hope you can apply these ideas to products you already own. OR…become an active subscriber and get in on the refill kit. (The refill typically shows up in the online store soon after the 20th.) It doesn’t contain the ink and stamp images. But you will at least gain the main pieces and can hopefully replace most of the stamp images I used with some of your own.
