January 2016 Paper Pumpkin Alternative

It’s Paper Pumpkin time again – my kit for this month arrived last week. It’s focused on Valentine’s Day and there’s a fun stamp set included – Cute Conversations.Of course I decided to reuse the stamp set to make a card. Just one so far…

Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin Cute Conversations

Isn’t this fun? I made the DSP by stamping the XOXO stamp in melon mambo on whisper white. I started in the centre and just worked my way outwards stamping in different directions until I’d filled the card. I then inked up another of the stamp set’s sentiments in melon mambo and stamped on a scrap of whisper white. I cut this out with the retired hearts collection thinlits dies and then cut the next size up in melon mambo to create the border. You could use the sweetheart punch for this but it’s only one size and you’d not have the mat.  I guess I’d better hang on to my hearts collection dies.

I glued the hearts together with the multipurpose glue and then popped that up with dimensionals. I’ll make another card with this set using all current product soon.

I should remind you that during Sale-a-bration the three month prepaid subscription of Paper Pumpkin is on sale for $55. This is not only great value for three of the monthly kits, but if you buy this, you also get to choose an item for free from the Sale-a-bration catalogue. What an awesome deal! Just click on the Paper Pumpkin button over on the left to get started or on the scrolling store below.

See you tomorrow,
