The beauty of Paper Pumpkin kit is that you can follow the directions provided in the kit and make the projects as they were designed or use the supplies as a starting point and let your creative spirit soar. On this hop we will be sharing lots of ideas with you on how to use the January Paper Pumpkin Kit: "Special Delivery". Send heartfelt valentines featuring sweet postage stamp designs and sentiments for love and friendship. Create 9 cards: 3 of each of delightful designs, complete with 9 matching envelopes.  The inspiration for my alternates came from the postage elements of the kit.I decided to pull out two of my retired stamps sets that coordinates well with this kit, "Posted for You" & Snailed It". On my first alternate you'll see I used the "Posted for You" retired stamp set on the card and envelope.

First Alternate:


I decided to change the orientation of the top layer and used the "Posted for You" stamp set for the card. I used the "Snailed It" stamp set for the envelope for a little extra humor! I also add a little bling to both cards

Second Alternate:

ICS Blog Hop January Product of the Month


Hello and welcome to January ICS Blog Hop!

This month, I'm spotlighting the "True Blue Florals" designer series paper.  The "True Blue Florals 12' x 12" Designer Series Paper is the exclusive Product of the Month for December 2025.  I absolutely love the beautiful shades of blue in this paper. You get 12 sheets: 2 each of 6 double-sided designs. 

I really wanted a way to feature some one of the patterned sheets. I decided to use some of the designer series paper to case this card from the Online Exclusives.  


I really love the size of the sentiments from the "With You in Mind" stamp set and I felt this would be a perfect way to spotlight the paper.  As you can see the finished card is great. 



Thanks for visiting my blog, now let's head to the next person on the carousel and see what they shared.

ICS Blog Hop Sketch Challenge

Hello and welcome to December ICS Blog Hop!

This month, we're spotlighting the cute sketch below using Stampin' Up products.  I truly enjoy creating projects using a sketch because it gives you a chance to let your creativity flow. I wasn't sure if I wanted to do a Christmas card or any occasion card, and the occasion card won! 

I decided to use the Sweet Jar bundle. I've been wanting to play with this set for a while. I must admit the best part is creating the little jars using the sweet jar builder punch! 



I wasn't sure where to start because I don't have any Arch Dies! The sketch really helped me build up my crafting mojo. Here's my take on the sketch.  I also decorated the envelope to match the card. 




Thanks for visiting my blog, now let's head to the next person on the carousel and see what they shared.

ICS Blog Hop Christmas is Coming

 

Hello and welcome to December ICS Blog Hop!

This month, we're spotlighting "Christmas is Coming" with some Stampin' Up crafting Fun!! Stampin' Up has huge selection of Christmas themed product. When I think of Christmas, I always think about all the great and wonderful Christmas time with family and friends.  Last year Stampin' Up added the Quick and Easy Ephemera products and they did the same thing again for this year. I'll be showcasing how I use some of the products to make this card. I decided to use the "Christmas Time Tags & More" plus the "Greetings for You" ephemera pack. 




I love how these products make crafting fun and easy! I was able to make at least eight cards with these products. I decided to add a strip of real red cardstock under the gold and white sentiment to help make everything complete. 



Thanks for visiting my blog, now let's head to the next person on the carousel and see what they shared.
