What if you could take a couple kits, some ephemera and a lot of adhesive and just have a whole afternoon to create cards!? Well, that happened!! I had about 4 hours of time to create, but I wasn’t at home.. I packed up supplies and worked at “the office” (where my husband and son work) one day last week and this is what I came up with!!
How It Began:
The 37 cards I created:
The “challenge” was that I could only use what I brought with me (obviously)… whereas at home I would have grabbed some embellishments, stamped images, lots of ink colors, etc.
Supplies I used:
- Stampin’ UP! February 2025 Paper Pumpkin kit (subscribers: buy the REFILL KIT here)
- Heirloom Arrangements card kit #165007 (you might want to get 2!!)
- a few extra card bases from the Stripes & Florals cards & envelope pack (for using up extra die cuts)
- I used 5 Basic White note cards & envelopes
- Ephemera packs: Spring Celebrations, Birthday Treats, Greetings for All and Washes & Florals
I mixed and matched pieces from all of the above and had the BEST time making cards for my customers!

It was our son’s birthday AND the office was also celebrating his 10 year anniversary as an employee, so I took pizza to the office for all the guys and they had mini bundt cakes for the dessert and I hung out to stamp for the afternoon!!
Some of the cards I created:
I really love how every kit includes pretty envelopes designed to coordinate with the card bases!
These card bases and matching envelopes were part of the Paper Pumpkin kit. If you are a subscriber, you can still order the Hello Spring refill kit online.
Can you believe all the gorgeous, endless possibilities when you mix and match all of these fun pieces from a few kits and ephemera packs? I was delighted and had SO many hours of fun creating them.
Be sure to take a peek at all of the ephemera packs I have included in the supply list at the bottom of the post.. some of these elements are from those kits, like the Easter greeting below.
Keep scrolling.. so many pretty cards to share with you today!! So many creative possibilities!
I used the lattice die cut on several cards, it’s in the Birthday Treats Mix & Match ephemera pack.
After I made 32 cards with standard size card bases, I had the pieces below left over, so I grabbed 5 of the Basic White Note Cards to use up the remainder of the supplies.

I love you creativity and your eye for detail. I’ve been looking at those ephemera backs in the spring mini catalog, but could never see me using them. Wow! Have you show me the error of my ways. Thanks, Patty!
