Paper Pumpkin: January 2018 Heartfelt Love Notes Alternative Projects

I love project kits! They are perfect for new crafters and busy crafters. People who don't have a lot of space for craft supplies. People who just want to sit down and craft and don't want to do the work of designing and cutting materials. Paper Pumpkin is a monthly project kit subscription from Stampin' Up!. It's just like a class in a box! Delivered right to your door each month. Each box is a surprise, but it always contains a project that is completely designed, cut, and ready to create.

While I could make up the projects exactly like they are intended, my favorite part is the personal challenge to come up with a different way to use those pieces to create fun and alternative projects to share with and inspire you. This month, I created a valentine Lots to Love Box and decorated three of the Narrow White Note Cards to go inside, mostly using just the supplies from the box!

Aren't these Narrow Note Cards the cutest? They are 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" -- a little too small to mail on their own, but perfect for tucking inside a gift or leaving surprises for your loved ones. Here are close-ups of each card. I cut apart the cards in the kit for the designer paper pieces.

I used the 2" Circle Punch to punch out a piece from one of the cards to use on the envelope flap. The thin strips of Flirty Flamingo are the edges from the die cut banner sheet.

I cut the edge off of this card and put the peek of stripes designer paper inside.

Have you tried Paper Pumpkin yet? I love it and I know you will too! Paper Pumpkin is a fully designed crafting kit that arrives at your door each month with stamps, ink, and paper -- everything cut and ready to go, so you can skip to the fun.

Barn Door Gate Fold Double Door + Video Tutorial

The Barn Door bundle from the new Occasions Catalog has been wildly popular! I designed three different cards for my January Stamp of the Month Club card kit and created each one with a door that opened in a different way.

This card features a gate fold with double doors. The ombre ribbon tied around the doors keep in closed. I used the square wreath die cut to create decorative corners on the inside of the card.

Watch my video tutorial for some tips to make this card, including the measurements that I used and see the other two cards in my January Stamp of the Month Club kit.

Sale-a-Bration Favorite: Lots of Lavender

Stampin' Up! 2018 Sale-a-Bration Lots of Lavender Card ~ www.juliedavison.com

Lots of Lavender is one of the stamp sets that you can choose for free when you order $50 or more during Sale-a-Bration. This is a two-step stamp set with an outline image and then watercolor shapes to stamp over the flower, leaves, and bow. These photopolymer stamps are easy to line up!

Unfortunately there is not a die to match this stamp so I had to fussy cut it. Do you love or loathe fussy cutting?

The Lots of Lavender stamp set does not include any greetings, so I grabbed the "for you" from the Level 2 Sale-a-Bration gift Happy Wishes.

Here are some more project ideas using the Lots of Lavender stamp set:

Bubbles & Fizz Bridge Card + Video Tutorial

I didn't think much of the Bubble Over bundle when I saw it in the Occasions Catalog, but once I saw the coordinating designer paper Bubbles & Fizz in the Sale-a-Bration offering (get it free with a $50 order), I knew it would be a hit! I used mostly the paper for this bridge card. The bottles printed on the designer paper punch out perfectly with the two bottle framelits in the set of dies. I added a stamped label and sentiments and a few bubbles using the stamp set.

You have to look closely to see the epoxy bubble embellishments! I think they add just the right touch around the sentiment "Your kindness is most refreshing".

The Bridge Card folds flat to fit in a regular size envelope! Watch my video tutorial to learn how easy it is to make a Bridge Card and then try it at home!
