Another awesome monthly kit of creativity…the January 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit! And this one is not just Valentine focused as other January kits have been in the past years. The theme is “love” and the kit includes sentiments and images for weddings, anniversaries, shower, favorite friendships, love and more.
This month’s kit (titled I’ll Bee Yours) included supplies to put together 20 treat bags + 10 mini 3×3 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 alternate full-size cards
And several treat containers
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 projects 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.)

Welcome to the January 2020 Maui Achievers Blog Hop! I’m sharing a few versions of the same card today, and I’d love to know which one is your favorite.
Follow along and check out all the other blogs in the hop (click on the names of the participants in the list below my signature) so you can see some fabulous cards and projects created by other demonstrators who also earned the Stampin’ Up!® Maui incentive trip coming up in July of 2020.
I made each of my cards all with the same base set of supplies including one of my favorite new stamp sets that just debuted in the 2020 Spring Catalog, Forever Blossoms. (See below for a complete list of products I used in these cards linked to where you can find them in my online store.) I’ll share the base measurements, and then I’ll give tips for each card so you can then recreate any of them if you so desire.
Measurements…
Basic Black Cardstock
8-1/2” x 5-1/2” scored parallel to the short edge at 4-1/4”
Scrap that is at least 2-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ for optional layer (each of my cards has a slightly different size layer)
Shimmery White Cardstock
4″ x 5-1/4″
4″ x 2-3/4″ (for the inside)
4″ x 1/2″ strip
Ribbon (Mint Macaron 1/8″ Sheer Linen or Petal Pink Metallic-Edge)
up to 7″
Let’s start with this one and call it card #1…
I stamped my image on the 4″ x 5-1/4″ Shimmery White piece. And then I trimmed in 1-1/8″ on all four sides to remove the center. I colored that center piece using my Blender Pen and ink from the lid of my ink pads, and mounted it onto my scrap Basic Black that I trimmed to 2″ x 3-1/4″. On this card my sentiment strip (which I trimmed down to fit better) is attached with SNAIL on the left and a Dimensional on the right. My bow on the left I added with a Glue Dot. And the 4″ x 2-3/4″ Shimmery White is just added to the inside (most of my cards are like that on the inside).
This one is card #2…
I colored the whole image this time BEFORE cutting. And then I trimmed in 1″ on all four sides to remove the center. I colored that center piece using my Blender Pen and ink from the lid of my ink pads but this time with a little lighter touch. I mounted it onto my scrap Basic Black that I trimmed to 2-1/4″ x 3-1/2″. My sentiment strip is attached with Dimensionals on the right and the left. Then I just tied a knot and added it with a Glue Dot in the lower right.
This is card #3…
I stamped my image on the 4″ x 5-1/4″ Shimmery White piece. And then I punched a portion out with my 2″ Circle Punch. I colored that piece using my Blender Pen and Watercolor Pencils, and mounted it onto a 2-1/4″ Basic Black Circle. Because my circle was off to the left a bit, I added my sentiment strip (which I trimmed down) is attached with Dimensionals coming in from the right. My bow is added with a Glue Dot. And I embellished the three colored flower centers with Champagne Rhinestones.
This is card #4…
I stamped my image on the 4″ x 5-1/4″ Shimmery White piece. And then I removed the middle with the 1-7/8″ x 3-3/16″ Stitched Rectangle Die and colored that piece using my Blender Pen and ink from the lid of my ink pads. I mounted this onto a 2″ x 3-3/8″ Basic Black piece. And I attached my bow in the lower right with a Glue Dot.
I did something a little different for the inside of this card, though. I thought this was a fun place to add my sentiment strip.
And this is card #5…
I’m not a fan of this one because I messed up on the watercoloring. hahaha! For this card I stamped my image on the 4″ x 5-1/4″ Shimmery White piece, but I didn’t remove the center to do any spotlighting. Then I colored across the whole piece using my Aqua Painter and ink from the lid of my ink pads. I attached two strips of my ribbon coming from the top right and lower right areas of my sentiment, attached the strip with a Dimensional under the left and Glue Dots under the right and trimmed off the excess before attaching it to my Basic Black card base. I finished it by adding Champagne Rhinestones to the four flower centers.
I’m curious…which one do YOU like the best?
Have fun on the hop! And enjoy seeing all those inspiring ideas made by fellow trip achievers!

I have to apologize to my club members. I sent one of the cards I’m featuring today to each of them for their December orders and had promised to share it on my blog on January 9th. Here is the note I enclosed.
But things got shifted around, and I’m sharing the card (and other versions) today.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
Rococo Rose Cardstock
11″ x 4-1/4″ scored parallel to the short side at 5-1/2″
Mossy Meadow Cardstock
5-1/4″ x 4″ (you will punch 1-3/8″ Scallop Circle from this layer)
Very Vanilla Cardstock
5-1/4″ x 4″
Scraps for stamping and punching
Pressed Petals Designer Paper
5-1/8″″ x 3-7/8″
Rococo Rose Gathered Ribbon
13″
Tips…
Punch the two Label Me Punch shapes from the scraps of Very Vanilla. But remember to stamp sentiment before punching the smaller one. Use the punch upside-down so you can line up the image inside the punch.
Stamp off onto scrap paper to lighten ink before stamping leaves image onto inside Very Vanilla layer. Stamp before attaching to the inside of the card. That way if you make a mistake, you can flip the cardstock over and try again.
Punch 1-3/8″ Scallop Circle from the Mossy Meadow Cardstock layer.
Assemble in this order…
Adhere designer paper to Mossy Meadow cardstock.
Tie ribbon around and tie a knot off the the right (trim the ends).
Slide larger Label Me punched piece under the ribbon and adhere.
Attach smaller Label Me punched sentiment piece to Mossy Meadow Scallop Circle, then add to above the other label on top of ribbon with Dimensionals.
Add a Heart Epoxy Droplet.
I gifted some product to a few club members, so I thought it would be fun to share lots of ways for them to use that product. 😃And here is what else I created. Extra products for these cards are listed separately below.
One of my club members, Leslie Francis already got creative with her products. And this is the beautiful project she made. I was super excited when she shared these photos with me! It’s a calendar gift that folds flat to gift to someone,…
…and opens up like an easel to reveal a pad of Post It notes. What a great thing to decorate a desk or counter!
MY ONLINE PAPER CRAFTERS CLUB IS LOOKING FOR NEW MEMBERS We are looking for more to join our online Paper Crafters club.

There is a new Mini Trimmer!! And guess what?! You can create full-size cards with it using a few simple tricks. So on Tuesday during my Online Paper Crafting Class on Facebook, I shared how to use this Mini Trimmer!) and I created a pair of Valentine cards featuring some fun new designer paper and the Peaceful Moments bundle (the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set and Poppy Moments Dies).
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. Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for the cards that I demonstrated.

There are so many fun free picks from the Sale-a-Bration publication this year. One of my favorite items that you can get with a $50 order is the Kerchief Card Kit. This kit makes 4 of each of these cards (8 cards total).
I played around with this kit to make some adorable treat holders (inspired by a project in the January Tutorial Bundle) and then I added a bit of extra cardstock so I could expand how many cards I could get from this all-inclusive kit. I love what I came up with!
So on Wednesday during my Online Paper Crafting Class on Facebook, I shared how I made all these items (AND shared tips for using the new Mini Trimmer!).

Two more ideas for all of you who received the Something for Everything December 2019 Paper Pumpkin kit
I love the challenge each month of coming up with my final project design (a gift for 5 of my lucky subscribers) using my leftovers from what I’ve already created with my kit. And as you may guess from what I’ve made and shared already on December 21 and January 2, there weren’t that many supplies left over from my kit. But I did it!
I used the polka-dot pattern on the envelope flaps and the green circle stickers to punch out 5 pair of snowmen I needed 2 snowmen per project because they are back to back sandwiching the ribbon to make these bookworm bookmarks.
Here is the bookworm being used in my Outlander book. Can you see the snowman shape upside down in the body of the bookworm? I made and shared a version of these in my last Facebook Live on December 22nd. Below are the measurements and directions for making these bookmarks and holders with the Something for Everything kit supplies.
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…
Whisper White Thick Cardstock
2-1/4” x 8-1/2″
Scrap for punching Starburst for sentiment piece
Basic Black Cardstock
Scrap for punching 2-1/4″ Circle for sentiment layer
Kit envelope flaps or circle stickers
Scraps for punching two snowman shapes
Kit gold sticker sheets
Scrap for punching heart from the Dog Builder Punch
1/8″ x 2-1/4″ strip
Kit card base
2-1/4″ x 2-1/4″
Gold Metallic-Edge Ribbon, Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon, or Old Olive/Pretty Peacock Reversible Ribbon
12″
Directions…
Punch two snowmen. (To get two from one circle sticker, cut the sticker in half equally. Then use a sticky note to guide them into the punch. This will help you to fit them in that amount of space better.)
Connect them together back-to-back using Tear & Tape Adhesive while sandwiching one end of the ribbon between.
Color small black circles in the centers of two large pearls to create eyes. Draw on the mouth and stick on the eyes to make the face for your bookworm.
Position the bookworm towards the top of the 2-1/4″ x 8-1/2″ Whisper White base. Then attach (with two Glue Dots on the outer edges) the Basic Black 2-1/4″ Circle so it becomes a pocket for the worm’s body. Then fold up the ribbon and attach (with Tear & Tape Adhesive along the outer edges) the bottom 2-1/4″ x 2-1/4″ card base piece so it becomes a pocket for the trailing ribbon.
Add the stamped sentiment, the gold heart, and the gold strip.
I shared the first one (on the right in the photo above) along with other alternate projects in a how-to video on December 21st. Click here to see that video and more photos of that card.
I didn’t list directions here for making this type of card since this card is better explained in a video. But because this green card is a little different, I’ve listed a couple tips to finish off this version of this card. You can also see this card shared in Stampin’ Up!’s December 2019 kit Facebook Live. Below are views of all the sides when the card is assembled.
Here are the details if you wish to recreate this.
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.
Stamp off to get a lighter Terracotta Tile Orange ink for the trailing flowers.
Attach the sentiment piece with a Dimensional under the left edge and a Glue Dot under the right. Trim up the excess AFTER adding to the card.
Use an Embossing Buddy to get the “sticky” off the back of the flower and leaf stickers if you wish to raise them up onto Dimensionals. On my card my left flower and both leaves are up on Dimensionals.
Keep the decor within the triangular borders so you can fold your card in half to mail.
Product List… things you might need/want in addition to the December 2019 Paper Pumpkin kit to make this card
