Wild About Wildlife Challenge
What good timing! I got my Paper Pumpkin for this month on time for a change and it is a Safari Celebration theme so several cute animals in the kit. Then today I stumbled across a blog posting about a Clean & Simple Challenge using animals. My monkey fit the bill! What do you think?

Friendly Hello
Don't you love this cheery card? I love the different images in the Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper. Different versions of them also come in three different colors - Pool Party (which I used), Petal Pink and Fresh Freesia.
I love the little bluebird. I'm starting to see them in my yard - almost spring time!! He was stamped with Black Memento on white cardstock and then colored with my Stampin' Blends. This Friendly Hello stamp set included a "speckles" stamp. I think these speckles are just the finishing touch on this card. You can get the Friendly Hello stamp and DSP for free with a $100 order.
For the sentiment, I stamped onto the DSP and cropped the die piece with one of my favorite sets, Tasteful Touches. There are so many great dies in there. I don't very often stamp my sentiment on designer paper - not because I don't like it, but because I don't remember that it looks so pretty!
Hope this inspires you to pull out your designer paper and see what you can create!

More Memories & More
Happy Valentines!
While watching the Olympics Sunday, I made a few more Memories and More kits. Are you watching the Olympics? There is so much to watch! My favorites are hockey and curling.

Memories and More
When you need a pretty card but don’t have much time to put one together, the Memories & More Card Packs are a great resource. These cards below that I made this weekend are made with the Flowers for Every Season Memories & More Card Pack which are retired...BUT there are a couple of other Memories & More packs in the Annual Catalog (page 127) and a new pack in the Mini Catalog (pg. 59).
If you want an easy afternoon of crafting where you end up with a stack of pretty cards, then Memories & More Card Packs are a great product for this. Just grab some matching embellishments and cardstock, and then be amazed at how many cards you can make in a couple of hours.
The Memories & More Card Packs are designed for pocket scrapbooking and work well for that purpose with two different size double-sided cards to match with your memories. In the Flowers for Every Season pack there are 50 cards - some designed to add journaling to capture the stories associated with your photos. The pack includes stickers as well for decorating the cards or using them throughout your photo album. If you are like me and it can take years to put an album together, this is a great tool to speed up the process!
The additional bonus is that the Memories & More Card Packs are great for making quick and easy cards that look lovely. You can spend as much, or as little time as you want embellishing the cards and adding sentiments to make them perfect for you.
There is not much stamping on the cards below but I have added some ribbon and enamel dots. The only other product needed to make this card is some adhesive and card stock. Super quick to make.
I stamped the sentiment and added Just Jade & Cinnamon Cider cardstock to this card. |

Lots of Puns
I have fun making these Paper Pumpkin cards from the February Lots of Pun kit. Most of these below are alternative ideas for the kit. I added Early Espresso for several of the cards but all other elements came in the kit.
The sentiment is stamped on a small piece cut from one of the envelopes.

I'm back today to share a few more Valentines cards using last year's January Paper Pumpkin kit. Yes, it's last year's kit but I don't always finish all the cards in the kit. I keep the pieces and parts in a plastic zipper pocket and then filed away so I can just find what I want in each packet. This kit is called Sending Hearts.

Kisses and Hugs Paper Pumpkin
Some of you may still be waiting for your January 2022 Kisses & Hugs Paper Pumpkin kits to arrive. The pandemic has not been kind to us in more ways than one. Delays in products and supplies is a world-wide issue right now. The January kits were one of these delayed products. And Stampin’ Up!® thanks you for your patience if you were in that group that needed to wait a bit longer. In fact my own kits were late in coming but I think it was post office and not SU's problem. But it finally reached me last week and I have been having fun making a few Valentines. I don't send out many Valentines so having them in my Paper Pumpkin really works for me.
This picture shows the Valentine card closed with the left side on the front. The "friend" heart is adhered on one side and lined up with the bottom heart. |
WHAT IS PAPER PUMPKIN?
It’s fabulous, fun paper crafting product in “kit form” (pre-cut, pre-scored, ready to assemble) wrapped up in pretty, soft blue tissue paper in a bright, reddish-orange box that gets delivered right to your mailbox each month. And each kit includes a stamp set and ink that you can use again and again even after you’ve created everything within the kit!
