A Bright & Beautiful Alternate Card Idea
Hello, crafty friends! I’m so excited to share my first alternate idea for the January “Hearts for You” Paper Pumpkin Kit. This handmade card is all about celebrating love with a gorgeous rainbow of hearts! Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned paper crafter, this project is simple yet striking, making it a perfect addition to your card-making collection.

About This Card Design
This card starts with a clean and elegant white base and background, allowing the colorful hearts to truly shine. The focal point is a delicate strip of connected mini hearts, which I transformed into a rainbow using Stampin’ Blends markers. This technique is an easy and fun way to add a custom look to your die cuts and bring vibrant color to your projects.

I used the exclusive stamp set from the Paper Pumpkin kit for the word “Love” and the coordinating die-cut heart strip. To add even more dimension, I die-cut larger hearts from the Hearts of Elegance Dies to layer in the background, creating a soft yet striking effect.

Free PDF Tutorial & Video
To make crafting even easier, I’ve put together a free PDF tutorial that includes step-by-step instructions, a template for this fold, and a complete supply list. Plus, I have a full video class walking you through the process.
QUICK COLORING VIDEO
If you’re looking for a quick tip, I also created a fun Reel showcasing how I colored the mini heart strip—be sure to check it out!
