Hey there! Stampin' Up!'s monthly crafting subscription box, Paper Pumpkin, arrived in my mailbox this week.  The Sending Hearts January kit is absolutely adorable! I immediately made two of the eight cards included in the kit, as well as another with a few additional supplies!

The two kit cards:

Exactly as shown in the kit . . .

I did add one of the tiny Petal Pink epoxy hearts included in the kit. They come in several sizes including a few star-shaped flowers!

I stamped the second card according to the kit directions.

Here's a tip for stamping with photopolymer stamps that have smooth-surfaces, like the solid hearts in this image. Tap the stamp on your ink pad a few times, then stamp on scrap paper. Re-ink without cleaning the stamp to stamp on your card. I didn't do that when I stamped the heart on the left. The heart on the right is much better after re-inking after the first stamping.

I used one of the Petal Pink epoxy hearts here too!

After I made the kit cards I used the little snail stamp to make my own with a few additional supplies:

This sweet little guy coordinates with the Snailed It Bundle in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog! I heat-embossed him with white powder on Poppy Parade, then cut him out with one of the Heart Punch Pack punches. There were plenty of epoxy hearts to sprinkle around!

You can't order this kit. It's only available by subscription, which closes on the 10th of each month. However, you can subscribe now to the February Kit. I'm sure it will not disappoint. Give Paper Pumpkin a try!

Hey there! Today I want to share with you the Valentine treats I gave my grandchildren this year!

After purchasing the treats, I went to work with the Cute Crew Punch Box!

For the older girls, I tied a Lovely Lipstick ribbon bow from the All My Love Ribbon Combo Pack, then adhered with a glue dot. After stamping and punching the tag with the Cute Crew Punch Box, I created another slightly larger Basic Black tag punched with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch.

Cohen, Jaxon, Liam, Oakley, Lando, Darcy, and Ivory all received heart-topped tubes of Skittles.  I tied All My Love ribbon  around the tube,  adhering tags with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.

After stamping the Cute Crew Punch Box bear image with Tuxedo Black Memento ink, I colored with  Light Lovely Lipstick and Dark Mint Macaron Stampin' Blends Markers.

I wrapped giant Hershey/M&M bars with Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper (free with a $50 order during Sale-a-bration) I tied 16" of Lovely Lipstick All My Love ribbon in a bow, adding a tag to each of course!

Hey there! I decided to go ahead and share the last batch of Valentines with you today so you have time to decide which set(s) you need to order right away!

First, Karen Titus used the Hey Love set with Layering Squares and Stitched Shapes Framelits to create a fun valentine that would be great for a son or grandson. She used Granny Apple Green and Brights 6" x 6" Designer Paper to really make the Lovely Lipstick scallop square pop! She colored a Heart Epoxy Droplet with a Lovely Lipstick Stampin' Blend for the finishing touch!

Next, Janet Muse also used the Hey Love set for her "stinkin' sweet" card. The shiny heart next to the greeting was cut from Lovely Lipstick Foil.

Kim Vogel created her swap with the Forever Lovely set with All My Love Designer Series Paper, Heart Epoxy Droplets, and the Lace Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

Lori Mueller also used Forever Lovely  with Be Mine framelits and Lovely Flowers Edgelits.

Finally, Rhonda Bassler used the Meant to Be bundle with All My Love Designer series paper to create her flap-fold card:

She used the Classic Label Punch to create a slot to insert a gift card:

And used the free Sale-a-bration Lovely Lipstick Foil for one of the hearts!

Hey there! With Valentine's Day fast approaching I still have some valentine swaps I want to share with you before it gets to late to create!

First, Jan Farring used the Large Letters Framelits to cut out the letters from All My Love Designer Series Paper, then cut out the scrolled heart for the "O" with a Be Mine Framelit. She backed the greeting strip with Silver Foil and embossed the Lovely Lipstick (it's the new RED!) with the Tufted Dynamic Folder. The "love you" sentiment is from Forever Lovely.

Next, Angela Waters combined All My Love Designer paper with Be Mine Framelits and a sentiment from Needle & Thread. She cut out the sentiment with a Needlepoint Elements Framelit. Red Rhinestones provide a bit of sparkle!

Jenna Roby combined the car from Geared Up Garage with All My Love Designer paper and the Meant to Be Bundle for a masculine valentine! Love how she tied a Classic Garage Element in the Black/Silver Striped Metallic Ribbon bow to create the hanging "key to my heart"!

Finally, an unexpectedly non-valentine "thinking of you" card by Linda Bauwin with the Butterfly Gala Bundle!

Hey there! Today I have a Valentine card created with the Meant to Be bundle that matches the 2-4-6-8 box I shared with you yesterday!

I was inspired by a card created by Lynn Feldkamp that I shared with you on last Sunday's Swap Day:

I used Lovely Lipstick, Whisper White, and Powder Pink card stock with All My Love Designer Series Paper, cutting out all of the hearts with Be Mine Framelits.

Such a pretty font for this sentiment! I colored the Heart Epoxy Droplet with a Lovely Lipstick Dark Stampin' Blends Marker, then added it over the apostrophe.

After tying the Lovely Lipstick 1/2" Ribbon in a bow, I adhered to the end of the heart with liquid glue.

I really like this sentiment! I will be using it after Valentine's Day is over!

I stamped the three hearts with only one inking of the stamp to get three shades of Lovely Lipstick!

Meant To Be Cling Bundle [150587]	All My Love 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Designer Series Paper [148576]	Heart Epoxy Droplets [148583]

Hey there! Today I have one more designer series paper panel card to share with you.  Similar to the Climbing Roses card I shared with you yesterday, I turned the panels over to the valentine side:

I love that there are two sides to each sheet of Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper! I adhered 5 different 1" x 3 3/4" prints from the All My Love pack onto a 3 3/4" x 5" panel, then embossed with the Polka Dot Basics Textured Impressions folder.

The greeting panel was cut with a Support Ribbon Framelit, then I cut a second heart from a Sale-a-bration freebie, Grapefruit Grove & Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheets. After cutting it in half and adhering behind the "sending love", I adhered it over the Black 5/8" Glittered Organdy ribbon with dimensionals. I added a basic black scribbled  heart to finish it off along with a single rhinestone over the "O" in LOVE.

I stamped the inside sentiment with black ink and added strips of All My Love paper to the ends.

Hey there and welcome to Sunday Swap Day on my blog!

First, Judi Anderson used Forever Lovely with All My Love Designer Series Paper for her creation, with a a fresh color combo of Coastal Cabana,Lovely Lipstick, and Whisper White. She combined a Stitched Shapes Framelit with a Layering Circle Framelit, then colored a few pearls with Stampin' Blends.

Next, Barb Mullikin combined Forever Lovely with the Meant to Be bundle. I love that both Forever Lovely and Meant to Be are not strictly Valentine sets! Barb's color combo is Lovely Lipstick with Crumb Cake, Whisper White, and touches of Flirty Flamingo. She used Be Mine Stitched Framelits, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Layering Square Framelits, Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions, and Grapefruit Grove 1/8" ribbon from the All My Love Ribbon Combo Pack.

Laura Milligan used the Lovely Lipstick 1/2" Ribbon from the All My Love Ribbon Combo Pack to accent her Forever Lovely card. She used the Lovely Flowers Edgelits Dies to cut out the bloom and the foliage, and accented a corner of the Crumb Cake layer with another Lovely Flowers die.

Finally, Kathy Morgan also used the Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies to create her Valentine. Switch out the heart print for floral from the All My Love Designer paper and you could have a birthday, anniversary, or thinking of you card with this sentiment.

Forever Lovely is a"DistINKtive" stamp set which is specially created to have depth built in when you just stamp one time. You can see it with this hearts group that Kathy stamped on the inside of the card:

Forever Lovely Photopolymer Bundle [150580]	Meant To Be Cling Bundle [150587]	All My Love 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Designer Series Paper [148576]

Hey there! I wanted to wait until Valentine's Day to share the Sure Do Love You/Painted with Love Valentine I made for my sweetheart.  This print from the Painted With Love Specialty paper was about as close to masculine as I could get. We've been married 40 years, and dated for 3 before that, so this is 43 Valetine's Days we've been together!

 I used both the Sunshine Wishes Thinlets and one of the Lovely Words Thinlets to cut the two different sizes of Gold Foil "love".

 Inside I added a Gold Foil "YOU" over the stamped heart. I cut it with a Celebrate You Thinlet I chose for free from the Sale-a-bration brochure.
