Paper Pumpkin Possibilities - Hearts for You - January 2025

 

Welcome to our Paper Pumpkin Possibilities blog hop!  I am so excited to be a part of this team of hoppers sharing alternative designs for each month's Paper Pumpkin kit.  This month's kit is all about the January 2025 Hearts for You kit!!  Hopefully what we show will inspire you.  Be sure to hop all the way through to see what this amazing team has come up with!
 Here is the unboxing video - so you can see all that is included and how the kit can come together.

JANUARY: Hearts for You
Create heartfelt cards for Valentine’s Day, Galentine’s Day, and beyond!
• Makes 9 cards: 3 each of 3 designs with 9 envelopes
• Heart-shaped precut pieces and stickers
• Twine and heart gem embellishments
• Coordinating colors: Flirty Flamingo, Petal Pink, Real Red (Classic Stampin’ Spot)

Love is in the air with this kit - so many hearts and great sentiments.  I am sharing two of my alternatives with you today.  
The first uses the marbled base from the kit - I scored the front panel from the middle score line down two inches on the right side, and folded it back and adhered.  
This made the perfect spot to adhere my large foil heart that I layered over one of the red heart punch outs.  Finished it off with the "Love" sticker, a stamped "YOU" and three of SU's Adhesive Backed Heart Sequins.
Then added a couple little hearts on the inside stamped.  You can also see here how nice the back of the hearts look when the card is open.
My second alternative is a super simple little Valentine card.  Perfect if you need to make up a bunch to send or for a child who needs them for school.  I used SU's Basic White Note Cards & Envelopes - as they are smaller - but yet, mailable. 
I took a 2" square of Gold Foil Cardstock, layered a 1 3/4" x 1 3/4" square cut from one of the card bases, and then added one of the many heart stickers in the kit. Finished it off with a simple "Love" sentiment from the kit in Real Red.  So simple, so sweet.
If you wanted to coordinate the envelope - that is easy enough to do - 
This is such an easily reproducable design - I just "love" how they came together so quickly - pun intended!

I hope you've enjoyed these alternative ideas.  Now be sure to hop through the rest to get some more great inspiration.  Don't forget to leave a comment, as we'd love to hear what you think.
