CARDS
Cute Conversations is the name of the January 2016 Paper Pumpkin kit from Stampin Up. The stamp set that came in the kit reminded me of the candy “conversation” hearts, and that’s what I used for inspiration for these alternate card ideas. They are kind of like big giant candy heart cards. There’s a little something for everyone in this kit. So you can spread the love, whether you have a Valentine, or not.
Some of the techniques I’m going to share in today’s video are how to make this cool gold splatter effect, heat embossing, how to use the emboss buddy, background texture and sponging.
Being single, I got a huge kick out the “Meh” stamp, and had some fun making a little different “broken-hearted” version of the card hahaha!
Periscope: I was so excited that as soon as my “orange box” (Paper Pumpkin kit) arrived in the mail, I jumped on Periscope and did a Live Broadcast of the unboxing. I love doing the live video because you guys can be a part of it and ask questions while we go. I’ve included a clip from this Live broadcast in my video tutorial below.

Love your idea for this kit. I prefer cards also
Your creations are beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talents with us. The Paper pumpkin kit would make a great birthday present for me. Love this kit.
I love your ideas! I have never added to the embossing with a sponge, and the edging around the hearts really adds a lot – thanks!
Thank you for the chance to win. I love the MEH card, too funny. I’m going to try that glue speckled effect with the gold glitter, it really adds to the card. Sue
I love what you did with the kit. I’m not into banners either. I must be getting old and out of it, I’ve never heard of MEH before but I think that is my favorite card!
I love the glitter spatter! So pretty.
Love the video. This is my first paper pumpkin kit and I wasn’t really too interested in the banner. I have been stamping for years but not too much recently so time to get the creative ideas flowing.
