All of the Little Things kit with an alternate fun fold card idea!


I had time to stamp some kits last weekend and thought I'd share them with you. I do love our kits!  Such enjoyable and stress free creating! I did it at a crafting day at our church. All I took with me was adhesive, a bone folder, paper snips, and the kit!

The cards below were made with April's 'All the Little Things' Paper Pumpkin kit.  I made most of them as the kit directed me to. 

However I changed the greetings so I could use them as thank you cards. Such a gorgeous kit this is!  If you're a Paper Pumpkin subscriber did you know you are eligible to get the refills when they become available?  The refill kit includes all products in the original kit except the stamp set & ink spot.  But you already own those so it's easy to make more cards. you can get the refill for this kit here. 

Today, May 10th, is the last day to get in on the Exploring In Color Paper Pumpkin kit. More information below.


Each month I create a few alternative ideas and share them with my subscribers and my Team; here's a peak at April's projects. 

Here's one of the cards I made.  It's a floating panel card!

Here's a quick example of how to make one.  Score your (5 1/2" X 8 1/2") card twice – at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4".  Then add two folded strips of card stock (about 1/2" X 2" each) on that center front fold – both folds meet on that scored line. Add adhesive to the top area and add your top panel to it.  Done!  

I LOVED making these cards!  If you want to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin with me, here's a link.  

Or if you'd rather purchase a subscription you can do that here. 

Remember that with Paper Pumpkin you are in charge of which kits you receive; pause if you don't like the next kit. But as a subscriber you are eligible to get any of the available refills or add on items.  

Hint: June's kit will include an add on die-cut option!

  • Balloon Festoon surprise slider card with video tutorial


    I shared this CUTE card on last week’s Live video. We made it at my May card clubs:

    It features the Balloon Festoon bundle seen here and the Beautiful Ordinary Life designer series paper. Both are in the 2026 May – August catalog by Stampin’ Up! They pair up wonderfully together!

    It might look like a simple fun fold card but look how it opens:

    The inside greeting layer slides out when you open the front of the card. It’s super easy! Watch the video below to see my tips & tricks on this card fold.

    My colors include Pool Party, Crisp Cantaloupe, White & Daffodil Delight. I used the colors in the Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP as a guide.

    Here’s the free project sheet for this card; click here. Feel free to download it to print or save in your files for later.

    Below is the video tutorial; I hope you watch it! There’s a second card I share as well; I’ll feature that project in tomorrow’s post.

  • Cool technique for a background made with our new shimmer brushes


    Take your new Shimmer Brushes for a test drive with this darling DIY background idea. Stampin’ Up! posted this card idea; what a super neat plaid background!

    Here’s how you do it:

    Step 1: Draw diagonal lines on Basic White Cardstock using the Barely Blush Shimmer Brush. (Use the Clear Block F as a guide.) Apply light pressure to create fine lines; increase pressure for thicker lines.

     Step 2: Rotate your cardstock and (using the Clear Block F) draw additional lines to create a plaid pattern.

     Step 3: Decorate your sparkling background with images, sentiments, and embellishments, then adhere the finished piece to the card base.

    We now have 5 colors of these Shimmer Brushes in each of our new In Colors. See them all here.

    I hope this technique inspires you to try it. I think you could also do it with our Wink of Stella on any color CS.
