Paper Pumpkin Alternative - Jan. 2022

 

One of my YouTube subscribers asked me to do a video on how to make this particular card using some of the products from the January 2022 Paper Pumpkin. I prefer using smaller hearts rather than the large heart cards included in the kit. The heart cards are cute, but I like the standard A2 size card format.

I show a couple more cards in my video using this idea. I also decorated a box that is in the mini catalog on page 9 using the inside of the envelope. You could use the Sweet Talk designer series paper that is on page 9 also. Your options are pretty much endless.

Please enjoy the video, have fun stamping, and have a blessed day!

I hope you like this simple card. You can use it for any occasion just by changing the sentiments. Have a blessed day and have fun stamping.

My knee is slowly healing.  The swelling is going down, but I still can't sit at my craft desk for extended periods of time. Hopefully, it will be better soon.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! I'm so sorry that I haven't posted anything for a while. I was super busy with the holidays and then we had no power for several days. To top it off, I fell last week and banged up my knee pretty bad. I have been icing it with bags of snow in an effort to get the swelling down. It is several lovely shades of purple, blue, and green and still swollen. I will try to get some videos posted soon, but it is hard for me to sit at my crafting table for very long. I like to keep my leg elevated whenever possible and I just don't have room at my table. Thank you so much for your understanding.

Eden's Garden Sympathy Card

It is always sad when we need to create sympathy cards because it means someone dear to us has gone to be with the Lord. I am comforted to know that one day we will see them again, but that person will be missed by everyone still here. 

You can also turn this card into a birthday, thank you, or even a Christmas card if you want. This designer series paper lends itself to any occasion. The design is simple and easy to make. Have fun creating and have a blessed day!
