I love the idea behind the June 2019 Paper Pumpkin kit…having small cards on hand to just hand out when you want to spread a little sunshine!? I’ve created alternate projects (as you’ll see), but I’m definitely going to make a bunch of these cards as intended and carry them in my purse so I’ll be ready to brighten someone’s day or thank someone who brightened my day.
Yes, this kit is fantastic as is (it includes supplies to put together 16 beach themed mini cards: 4 of 4 kinds with a pouch and includes 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. I added the extra supplies in the product list below to the above kit supplies to create my alternate projects that I’m sharing with you today:
Three full-size cards
3×3 mini card
Monster mini card
Treat pouch/purse
and a 12×12 scrapbook page
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). Then scroll down to see close-up photos, access the links that I mentioned at the beginning of my video, and see a list of extra supplies (linked to my online store) that I used to make my creations.
Here is a photo of 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.)
THREE FULL-SIZE CARDS
3X3 MINI CARD
Make more Random Act of Kindness 3×3 cards with the leftover pieces in the kit!
MONSTER MINI CARD
Brighten a child’s day with a “You Are Amazing” monster card.
TREAT POUCH/PURSE
This is a great way to use the mini envelopes if you decide to make full-size cards or scrapbook pages with your kit supplies instead.
12X12 SCRAPBOOK PAGE
I hope I inspired your creativity with what I shared today!

This past Tuesday I played with the new 2019-21 In Colors, the Woven Threads Designer Paper, the Floral Essence Stamp Set, and the In Color Faceted Dots in my Facebook Live Online Paper Crafting class. I shared how to “stretch” a designer paper layer and how I added a unique coordinating pocket inside my card to hold cash or a gift card.
I then uploaded the recorded version of my Facebook Live video to my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook). Be sure to watch the video (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog), check out the products list below, scroll through the close-up photos, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed this video! And I hope you enjoyed all the variations of this card. Below are measurements for the one I demonstrated and close-up photos of this one and the others.

Here is a fun way to get colorful, shiny sparkle on your cards! Since this technique involves stamping on Window Sheets with StazOn Solvent-based ink, I recommend using red rubber stamps only (wood-mount, clear-mount, or cling-mount). StazOn is harsh on the totally clear, Photopolymer stamps. So avoid using those if you can. I also recommend using stamp images that coordinate with either punches or dies. But you can certainly get out your Paper Snips (scissors) and fussy cut your images.
Because some projects and cards are easier to explain with a video, I shared this card this past Wednesday during my Facebook Live Online Paper Crafting class. I then uploaded the recorded version of my Facebook Live video to my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook). Be sure to watch the video (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog), check out the products list below, scroll through the close-up photos, and then let me know if you have any questions.
As you can see it’s very easy to stamp and color window sheets (acetate) and then add a layer of glimmer paper to give it that sparkle. And you get such striking results! Here are the measurements for the card I demonstrated.
Measurements…
Whisper white Thick Cardstock
8-1/2” x 5-1/2” scored at 4-1/4” and folded in half
3-3/8” x 4-5/8”
Basic Black Cardstock
3-1/2” x 4-3/4”
Sparkle Glimmer Paper
Scrap for punching butterflies
Window Sheets
Scrap for stamping & punching butterflies
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store. Butterfly Wishes is not quite available yet, but will be starting June 4. I’ve also included the supplies I used to create the other two cards I made & shared at the end of the video. If you are interested in the yellow orchid card, you’ll want to get the Climbing Orchid stamp set and coordinating Orchid Builder dies now. They are retiring and will be unavailable after June 3.
Here is the card I demonstrated in the video. (I changed up the accents after recording: removed the pink flowers, added a clear one, and then added a couple rhinestones.)
But I still like this orange and blue one better. 😉
Here is the 3rd card I made. With this one, no Blends Markers are needed.
And here is the card that I was inspired by. Update…Cathy Parise was the creator. Yay!! Thank you Cathy for emailing me after seeing the video. 😊I LOVE your swap card!
It’s a busy time of year at our house:
school is ending (the last day of school is June 6th), so there are concerts and end of the year kids’ events
our house is filled with garage sale stuff (lots and lots of stamping/crafting stuff too) that we need to price and set up for our sale next week
a new Stampin’ Up! catalog is beginning, so I’m invoicing for product share and will be ordering, prepping and shipping them soon
grad parties, cousin’s events, summer haircuts, major changes in our yard/driveway right now…
and Papa is still struggling to restore is health (continued prayers please)
It seems like everything is happening at once. It’s a little hectic. In fact I’m missing out on my upline’s fun demonstrator event that she only holds 3 times a year. 😢I cancelled a couple days ago and feel horrible, but I had to let something go.
Despite how crazy it’s been this week and WILL be for the next few weeks, we DID manage to go up north to my parents’ place and relax for Memorial Day weekend. We even brought our camper. It was the first time using it!
I think since we survived sleeping out there in 40 degree rainy weather, we are going to be able to get in a few more trips with it this summer. We just need to get them on the calendar! Here are a few more photos.
Grandma always makes it fun for the kids (even when she is fighting a bugger of a cold). Here are my boys (Nick and Luke) with cousin Robbie (on the left) and cousin Yvette (in the front) reading clues on a treasure hunt.
Here they are just hanging out watching Robbie make cool things with his paracord.
And of course breakfasts are best at the cabin! Little Yvette hung out with the boys as much as she could. And they were very good about giving her attention and playing with her.
Yvette’s little sister, Simone isn’t quite old enough to play yet. But she was very fun to hold and watch.
Oh, those cheeks!
And the best part!?…EVERYONE made it – the WHOLE family. (My husband and I are on the right next to my parents. Nick and Luke are kneeling in front of us.)
Thanks for stopping by today!

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.
I’ve teamed up with my son Nick to bring to you a couple more alternate card creations from the May 2019 Paper Pumpkin kit. (Click here to see what I’ve shared already with this kit.)
In this pre-recorded video my son, Nick and I stamp together! He shares how to make one of the kit cards and then demonstrates another card that he designed! He is raising money for his January 2020 Disney World trip with his Jazz Band. So I told him that I would donate 30% off my sales for a month if he wanted to do something stamping-related with me. He is a YouTuber himself, and so this video was the perfect idea. He doesn’t stamp much at all (unless I ask him to help me mass produce swap cards or something), so it was fun to see him enjoy this whole process!
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). Then scroll down to see close-up photos, access the links that we mentioned at the beginning of my video, see photos and details for a bonus card I made after recording, and see a list of extra supplies (linked to my online store) that we used to make our creations.
Below are close-up photos of the cards Nick made and shared in this video. (Remember to watch the video first to get measurements, tips and directions.)
Then below those is an extra masculine card that I put together after recording the video.
Nick’s cards
The one on the left he made per the kit directions (and my guidance). The one on the right was his own design.
Measurements for the one on the right…
Old Olive Cardstock
8-1/2” x 5-1/2” scored at 4-1/4” and folded in half
Whisper White Cardstock
Two pieces that are 3-5/8″ x 5-1/8″
Nest print card from the kit
Just cut card in half to get a piece that measures 3-1/2″ x 5″
Products we used… See below for a complete list of products we used linked to where you can find them in my online store. (The Bird Ballad Designer Paper will debut on June 4 in the 2019-20 Annual Catalog, so the link will not work until then.)
He must have been having a lot of fun during the recording of the video, because he changed his plans as he got to the inside. And he decided to get a little more “decorative.” 😉
Nick’s last day of piano for the year was his recital on May 19. So after recording this video that morning, he brought this card and a gift to his piano teacher…
…and presented it to her at the end of the recital. ❤️
Do you want to place an order between now and the end of June
to help raise money for Nick’s Disney World Jazz Band trip?
After recording the video, I put together a card using the other half of the nest print kit card Nick used and some scraps I had after making the cards I shared on May 21st.
It’s a z-fold card and super easy to make.
Measurements…
Soft Suede Cardstock
8-1/2” x 5-1/2” scored at 2-1/8″ and 4-1/4”
Very Vanilla Cardstock
3-3/4″ x 5″
Nest print card from the kit
Just cut card in half to get a piece that measures 3-1/2″ x 5″ (the non-printed Crumb Cake half)
Cut a strip off of the printed side that measures 1/4″ x 5″
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Directions…
Adhere the 1/4″ x 5″ printed strip to the bottom of the Very Vanilla piece.
Stamp the speckled image randomly onto the Crumb Cake and the Very Vanilla pieces as shown. (To get the lighter ink, stamp off onto scrap paper then stamp onto the cardstock.)
Stamp the sentiment onto a medium label piece from the kit.
Fold the Soft Suede Cardstock in half and then fold in the opposite direction at the 2-1/8″ score line to create the z-fold.
Adhere all the layers as shown and add the feather.
Even if you can’t purchase to help out Nick’s trip fundraiser (maybe you are a demonstrator yourself, or you don’t live in the US, or you purchase through another), I hope you enjoyed this video anyway. I’m so proud of him! ❤️And I hope we inspired your creativity with what we shared today!

I’m early! Yay!! I was excited when I got my hands on the special Paper Pumpkin kit this month. And I got to creating right away.
Why is this kit special? Stampin’ Up!’s board chair & cofounder, Shelli Gardner worked closely with designers and concept artists to create a Paper Pumpkin kit that was uniquely hers. AND this May 2019 Hugs From Shelli kit went “global.” Normally these kits are available only in the US and Canada. But paper crafters in all South Pacific, European, and North American markets were able to get their hands on it!
While this kit is fantastic as is (it includes supplies to put together 12 beautiful note cards: 3 of 4 kinds and includes the supplies shown below)…
…I like to think outside the box, see what else I can come up with, and create alternate cards and other project ideas. I added the extra supplies in the product list below to the above kit supplies to create my alternate projects that I’m sharing with you today:
eight cards from the supplies of 4 (to show how to double your kit!)
and a 12×12 scrapbook page layout
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). Then scroll down to see close-up photos, access the links that I mentioned at the beginning of my video, and see a list of extra supplies (linked to my online store) that I used to make my creations. By the way, some of the products are new and won’t be available to everyone until June 4. So keep that in mind when clicking on the product links below.
Here are photos of 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.)
DOUBLE THE CARDS IN THE KIT (8 cards from the supplies of 4)
Just add a pack of Very Vanilla Note Cards & Envelopes and a few sequins from the Basic Adhesive-Backed Sequins pack.
Card #1
Card #2
Card #3
Card #4
Card #5
Card #6
Card #7
Card #8
12X12 SCRAPBOOK PAGE LAYOUT
I love scrapbooking, and I’ve created pages with every kit since Paper Pumpkin first started back in March 2013. My goal is to fit many photos on my layouts, thus the multiple photo mats. This layout was fairly simple to put together with elements from the May 2019 kit, some coordinating Bird Ballad Designer paper, Petal Pink Organdy Striped Ribbon, a Bird Ballad Trinket and some Neutrals 12×12 Cardstock. The most time consuming part was cutting around the nest and branches.
I hope I inspired your creativity with what I shared today!

I’ve been playing with upcoming new products again. And I learned a new fun fold – the arrow fold card! It’s a classy looking card that’s easy to put together with just a few angle folds and cuts. This fold was introduced to me by fellow demonstrator, Verla Carpenter who shared this how-to video by Samantha Clayton at Mixed Up Crafts. I altered Samantha’s measurements to work with a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ card base size so the card would fit into one of Stampin’ Up!’s medium envelopes.
Because some projects and cards are easier to explain with a video, I shared this card this past Wednesday during my Facebook Live Online Paper Crafting class. I then uploaded the recorded version of my Facebook Live video to my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook). Be sure to watch the video (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog), check out the products list below, scroll through the close-up photos, and then let me know if you have any questions.
As I mentioned in the video, the Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set, the Magnolia Memory Dies, and the Magnolia Lane Designer Paper are only available to current demonstrators or those getting the Starter Kit right now. (Click here if you want to purchase them in a Starter Kit.) Then on June 4, 2019, they will debut in the 2019-20 Annual Catalog. Yay!
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store. Again a few of the products are not available quite yet. Those links will not work until June 4.
Measurements…
Whisper White Cardstock
8-1/2” x 5-1/2” scored at 4-1/4” and folded in half
Scrap for stamping and die-cutting large magnolia
Mark the bottom front of the card at 2-3/4″. Mark the each of the sides of the front of the card at 2-1/8″. Then follow the directions in the video for connecting these points and the top corners of the card front to make your score lines.
Magnolia Lane Designer Paper (new)
5” x 4”
Mark the bottom of the designer paper at 2-1/2″. Then follow the directions in the video for cutting from this point diagonally to the top corners to make your three triangular pieces.
I hope you enjoyed what I had to share today!

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.
In the spirit of full disclosure, I am an affiliate with Stamp-n-Storage which means I may get commissions if you click on links I provide and decide to purchase anything from this company. I love their products and recommend them because I own several myself and believe my readers will benefit from them.
