Puffy Jolly Santa - Alternative HoHoHo Paper Pumpkin Kit Card

Hi Friends!

I'm sharing another alternate Christmas card project featuring the October2022 Paper Pumpkin kit, HoHoHo. On this card I use Snowfall Accents Puff paint and share tips and tricks from my lessons learned experiments. I hope this alternative card sparks your creativity, too!

Click here to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin.

While I appreciate elegant Christmas cards and enjoy creating them, sometimes a festive Santa Christmas card is just as fun! The jolly Santa stamp in the October kit definitely fits the bills for a fun and festive image. This the card I created with that idea in mind. 


I wanted to step it up, and add a bit of wow. So I turned to the Snowfall Accents Puff Paint. I did a few experiments and found I could somewhat control how puffy it got when heated by how much I squeezed out and which speed on my heat tool I used. From what learned from those experiments, I created this card.

Which version do you prefer? I'd love to hear from you, please leave me a comment with your favorite.

Snowflakes - Alternative Paper Pumpkin HoHoHo Kit Card

Hi Friends!

I'm sharing an alternate Christmas card project featuring the October 2022 Paper Pumpkin kit, HoHoHo. I hope this alternative card sparks your creativity, too!


The little snowflake from the stamp set in the kit caught my eye and I couldn't wait to create a festive Christmas card with it. I decided to incorporate Orchid Oasis ink and a Orchid Oasis pattern found in the In Color designer series paper (DSP) pack.


I started with a Balmy Blue card base, added a layer of Basic White cardstock and a piece of  Orchid Oasis DSP. After stamping a few snowflakes and sentiments this card was just about done. Quick and easy with a bit of bling!

Non-Holiday Leaves of Holly Card

Hi friends!

The Leaves of Holly bundle from the July-December Mini Catalog is one of my most favorite stamp set and die bundles. Although you may think it is solely a Christmas holiday stamp set, I have found it great for making all occasion cards. 

Leaves of Holly bundle #159608

I recently did a Facebook live where I stamped this all-purpose Thinking of You on Your Special Day card. 

All-Purpose Card in Melon Mambo and Polished Pink

By stamping holly leaves close together I created a textured background that can be easily used for all occaision cards that are definitely not Christmas cards. I used monochromatic colors of Melon Mambo and Polished Pink with a pop of Tuxedo Black Memento ink as a accent.

Paper Crafting Monthly Blog Hop - Forever Fern Thinking of You

Hi Friends!

Welcome to our monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop! The theme of the hop this month is Thinking of You.

This month, each hop participant, talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world, has created an inspiring project to send a thinking of you wish. You may have arrived from Tracy Held's blog. What a great design!

Forever Fern #152559

For this card, I wanted to use the Forever Fern stamp set to create a bright thinking of you card. Once I knew the color I would be using, it was easy to decide to use the 2022-2024 In Color designer series paper (DSP) to add a bit of interest. Sweet Sorbet is definitely a sweet color! Leave me a comment I'd love to see your thoughts on this In Color.

In Color 2022-2024 #159253

Starting with a stamp set and a color made it easy to create this bright and cheery thinking of you card.



I stamped with Sweet Sorbet ink onto the cardstock base of the same color and on white cardstock to create a focal piece. The thinking of you sentiment is from the Nature's Prints stamp set and is matted with Sweet Sorbet cardstock and adhered over a piece of woven ribbon that I frayed. Fine Sparkle Adhesive Backed Gems add a touch of bling.

Thank you for hopping around the world with us. Keep hopping to see even more inspiring thinking of you cards! Click on the Next Blog image below to go to Traci Gardner's blog.

Rustic Harvest - Quick and Easy Thanksgiving Card

Hi Friends!

The Rustic Harvest designer series paper (DSP) took center stage as I created a Thanksgiving card with this psper.

Rustic Harvest DSP #159633

As I noted yesterday, the great thing about the Rustic Harvest DSP is that it has beautiful, colorful fall images on one side while the other side is black and white. Today, the beautiful fall colors and imagery are put on display.

Although the stamp set I used today is retired (Banner Year), the Holiday mini has several stamp sets, including the Painted Pheasant (#159846) that can be sustituted to make this card.

Halloween Card Mash-Up With Rustic Harvest DSP

 Hi Friends!

Today I brought out a couple of my retired Halloween stamp sets and mashed them up with Rustic Harvest designer series paper (DSP) to create a semi-monochromatic Halloween card.

Rustic Harvest DSP #159633

The great thing about the Rustic Harvest DSP is that it has beautiful, colorful fall images on one side while the other side is black and white -- add your own colors or use it as is. Today, I left it as is to fit in with my white, black and Parakeet Party color palette.

Rustic Harvest DSP Halloween Mash Up

Although the stamps I used (Spooky Cat and Tee Hee Hee) are retired, the Holiday mini has several stamp sets, including the Bewitching bundle (#159857) with it's coordinating stamp set and Witch Hat Builder punch, that can be sustituted to make this card.
