Paper Pumpkin Kisses and Hugs Alternate Cards

Hello crafters.

Today I am sharing some cards that I created using products from the January Paper Pumpkin Kit, Kisses and Hugs. These projects were also shared on my Facebook Live Video. 

A big thank you fto Rachel Tessman for the idea for the gatefold card. I don't think that I would have thought of this.

The central hearts overlap, revealing the second part of the sentiment inside.

When fully open this card would make a nice display on a shelf. My apologies for the shadows. I couldn't seem to get rid of them.

I also turned one card base into a Joy Fold card, by adding a Very Vanilla card base. I cut open two envelopes and used the inside as DSP after adding some Blushing Bride ink. I used the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and the Sweet Hearts Dies to add some sweet details to this card.

This card opens to reveal a cute little envelope on the left, another sentiment in the center,

and a spot to add a message on the inside.

One more Fun Fold from this month's kit. For this card I used the Postage Stamp Punch, the Double Oval Punch, and the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder. This card looks deceptively simple from the front

but opens to reveal a heart on the second step in behind.

This part of the card also opens to a large space for writing a personal note.

If these cards seem too time consuming I have a couple simple cards to share. The first one, again, uses the inside of the envelopes as DSP.

I just added a simple XO inside the card.

For the second card, I used three of the little hearts as the focus of the card. The white background was stamped first, then embossed with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder.

On the inside of the card I repeated the stamping with the arrow and embossing afterwards, then I adhered a Flirty Flamingo heart over the top.

I also loved the little stamp heart with an arrow through it so I added it on the envelope.

I love Paper Pumpkin Kits because I think that they are an excellent value. Each kit includes a stamp set and an ink spot (mini ink pad), which makes it a great way to build up your stash. This month's kit was designed to make 10 cards and included everything needed to make the cards as designed. Of course, being an avid crafter myself, I can't resist designing my own cards with the supplies.

If you would like to subscribe to receive a monthly Paper Pumpkin Kit in the mailyou can do so here . Whether you make the projects as designed, or do your own thing you're sure to have lots of creative fun. 

If you have time to leave a comment about the cards today or if you have questions about Paper Pumpkin I would love to hear from you.

Happy crafting!
