Notes From the Heart - December 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit

 

The DECEMBER 2024  PAPER PUMPKIN KIT called "Notes from the Heart" was available for those who subscribed to Paper Pumpkin from November 11th until December 10th, 2024. 

My kit arrived in mid December but except for a peek at the contents, I was just too busy getting ready for Christmas to play with it until this past week.

I instantly knew this was a kit I could work with, although I wasn't a fan of the three card suggestions.  I knew that I would have no difficulty adding my own flair and ideas to these card supplies.  

The Notes from the Heart kit included nine hand-sketched botanical designs, and enough supplies for 9 card projects.  The supplies included pre-cut vellum leaves, sentiment labels, sparkling gems, white scalloped card bases, nine Mossy Meadow envelopes, Tear N' Tape, Adhesive Dots and a Blackberry Bliss Classic Stampin Spot.

My two favourite things about the kit were the Notes From the Heart photopolymer stamp set and the sentiment labels that were trimmed with gold.  I know I'm going to use this stamp set a lot.    

Okay so  enough blathering, here are the cards I made with this kit:

I made nine alternate cards using Basic White, Mossy Meadow, Pretty in Pink and Blackberry Bliss cardstock for bases and mats. Mats dry embossed with  Springtime Print, Basketweave and the 3D Fern Embossing Folders provided some added texture.  The Designer papers used for mats came from Storybook Moments, Timeless Plaid and Subtles DSP paper packs.  A variety of gems were used beyond what was provided in the kit.     

The checkered dsp in this card is from the new Timeless Plaid DSP in the January to April Mini.  The embossed background was made with the Springtime Prints Embossed Folder which is retired.  To make the vellum leaves stand out I used a blending brush and Mossy Meadow ink.

Thanks for dropping by and taking a look at my card creations.  I hope you enjoyed these cards and if you have a favourite or any questions please let me know.  I'd love to hear from you.

HAPPY STAMPING!
