Paper Pumpkin Blog Hop Kisses & Hugs
Hello! It’s time for our monthly A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop. A blog hop filled with alternate ideas using contents from the monthly kit. This month our kit is the Kisses & Hugs kit from January 2022. A group of us get together to create alternate ideas throughout the year and bring them to you in a blog hop.
The Kisses & Hugs kit is not bound to just Valentine’s Day, it works for all love occasions year-round like anniversaries, weddings, birthdays, or those “just because” days. You’ll see below that I used it for a very special occasion that just happened in our family.
Love You Scrapbook Page
When I saw this month’s kit I knew I wanted to make a scrapbook page. When all my boys were home for the holidays I had some family photos made. And we had Ryan and his girlfriend, Emily, and their two dogs take some photos as well. I was secretly thinking they were practice engagement photos. And then on New Year’s Eve at midnight Ryan did propose! So once I had my kit I knew I could use one of the photos and make a scrapbook layout. The photo I used is one of my favorites of them.
Supply List
The additional supplies that I added to complete this project were:
- Card stock – Gray Granite Card stock, Neutrals 12×12 Card stock Pack
- Simply Marbelous Designer Series Paper – free with a $50 order during Sale-A-Bration
- Kisses & Hugs Add-on
A few notes about my page.
- Cut apart one of the cards so that I could use the three individual hearts on my page.
- Use a piece of the gray Simply Marbelous Designer Series paper and cut it in half. Cover the seam in the center with the large heart.
- Stamp “love you” multiple times on the vellum heart
- Stamp “love you” on the heart tag from the Add-on Kit and tie a piece of the gold twine through the hole.
The Kisses & Hugs Kit was designed as a card kit but you can also buy the Kisses & Hugs Add-on which are treat boxes. I used the heart tag and the gold twine from the add-on as part of my scrapbook page. And plan to use the boxes for some treats this month. This is what the add on looks like. I found some Strawberries & Cream Chocolate Truffles which should fit nicely inside these little treat boxes. You can still order the Kisses & Hugs Add-on – just add it to any of your regular Stampin’ Up! product orders
I hope you liked this alternate idea for the monthly Paper Pumpkin kit. Leave me a comment and let me know your thoughts.
