How to Make 48 Valentine’s Day Cards from the Kit
Hello Paper Crafters!! Did you know that you can make 48 Valentine’s Day cards from the 2019 January Paper Pumpkin Kit? The pillow boxes are cute but what if you need enough Valentine’s Day cards for two children? I have designed four January 2019 Paper Pumpkin Alternative Projects from the kit. All you need to is some Whisper White card stock and 2 packages of 3” x 3” Whisper White envelopes.

Animal Expedition Suite
Did you know that this Paper Pumpkin Kit coordinates with the Animal Expedition Suite? I just love this suite. The color palette is beautiful and there are so many great coordinating products!! There is a stamp set and thinlits bundle (Animal Outing Bundle) with really cute images of kangaroos, rhinos and giraffes. The Animal Expedition DSP is so fun!! There are hippos, alligators, sloths, frogs, birds, rhinos, kangaroos and giraffes.

The Project:
Step 1:
Cut your pieces.
- Whisper White card stock: Cut 3” x 6” and score at 3”.
- Pillow Box: Cut according to diagram: The large square pieces are 2 3/8” x 2 3/8”. The strip on the left is ¼” wide and so are the 2 small rectangles cut from the bottom. Tip: Make sure you orient the pillow box in the same direction as the diagram so that your hearts are not upside down.
- Cut the ¼” strip from the left side to 3” in length.
- The pieces below the 2 3/8” x 2 3/8” squares are 1” x 1 3/16”.

- Long strips: Stamp “Be My Valentine” and “Happy Valentine’s Day” in Melon Mambo ink.
- Short strips: Stamp “For You, My Friend” and “You’re One-In-A Chameleon” in Melon Mambo ink.
Step 3:
Putting it all together.
Kangaroo card:
- Adhere the 2 3/8” Melon Mambo square with glue dots. Use dimensionals to adhere the kangaroo. The “Happy Valentine’s Day” banner is placed just under the paws with glue dots. Then glue the heart to the kangaroo and place a large Petal Pink epoxy heart on top of the red heart.
