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.

Had to look up MEH too! If found that it’s the equivalent of a shoulder shrug. LOL. You have such a creative mind Tami. Would love to win this Paper Pumpkin.
Oh, this is such a cute kit. Pick me, pick me. LOL
Awesome Cards Tami
Tami, I just recently happened onto your blog. That was my lucky day! You are fabulously creative and I want some of your energy & enthusiasm. Spectacular! The cards are wonderful & I’m so happy to know what MEH means. LOL
Thanks for the alternate ideas! I opened my kit and wanted something else to do with this, yay!
Great idea for how to use the MEH stamp, Tami. I was wondering what I would do with that… 🙂 Thanks for sharing! ~jen
Such cute cards! The Meh was a great idea. Not everyone has a valentine.
Thanks for sharing!!
Really like your card ideas , I too am not a banner person.
You get the excitement level up because of your excitement…
I never remember to flick the glue and use glitter and it looks so cool.
Came across your video where you asked for feedrback after showing off the swap samples. LOTS of great cards to make! And I can’t wait to find out about the special to join as a demonstrator.
Loved your video, Tami! It’s refreshing to see more non-conventional Valentines, including the MEH card!
I also needed an alternate idea of what to do with this kit. Thanks for showing the cards. I have never seen the glue flicking idea but think it looks fabulous and will be using it on mine. Thanks for the great ideas.
Very cool card!! I like seeing different ways of using the paper pumpkin!!
I didn’t know what MEH was either. Had to look it up. It was nice that the hearts would fit on a card.
Very cute cards. I love your sense of humor!
I wasn’t excited about the January kit, but really like your alternate idea with the card. Thank you for the inspiration.
I think you really did a great job with this kit, so many didn’t like the January P.P. Kit but you really embraced it. Thanks for your enthusiasm ! Great Ideas!
Really cute cards & thanks for explaining meh on the video! Great video (as always)
Hugs !!!
I love all your ideas…Thank you

I love how you did the glitter with the glue. I’ll have to try that.
Love the cards that you made with this kit and I am a bling nut and will have to try the glitter trick with my next few cards, It is fabulous. Would love to win the Paper Pumpkin Kit. Thank you for the opportunity to win. Have a great day.
Great idea, I’m not much of a banner person either so this was a nice change.
I have pinned some of your great ideas, but never have visited your Blog or signed up. You offer excellent card making advice & really love your site and drawings. Excited to be part of your email family.
Absolutely live the conversation hearts idea. So would love a chance to try at home.

Awesome cards!!! Love the MEH one the most!
Love the dimensions of these cards. I might have to think of something to use instead of the aqua painter for the glue. I don’t have one. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Love the scattered glitter! Makes for such a whimsical affect!
Loved your awesome alternate ideas. You’ve even tempted me to try embossing. Just need to purchase one of the de-static thingies!
