Here’s my Paper Pumpkin January 2017 Alternate 4, a fun way to make your own designer series paper. The Paper Pumpkin kit has the heart outline and a number of sentiments that fit inside it as well as a solid stamp.

I took the stamps and used sweet sugarplum for my outlines and then the same colour and dapper denim to fill in the hearts with the sentiments. Next I created a sweet sugarplum sentiment and cut it out with the stitched shapes framelits dies and a matching sweet sugarplum layering circles die and then discovered that the placement I wanted covered a dapper denim sentiment and made the card unbalanced. So I stamped the sentiment in dapper denim and that fixed everything, popping this up on dimensionals.

These are unusually muted colours for a Valentine’s Card but I like how it works. It’s not in your face bright red or pink and it’s refreshing I feel.
