April’s card kit to go

I chose to use the Well Dressed designer paper for my card kit to go this month.  This paper is full of stylish images and soft florals.

This month's kit includes 4 unique fun-fold cards but you get two of each!  Plus I added an adorable pre-cut bag filled with mini cards too!  Look! 

Save

Each card is finished differently giving you lots of options! This kit to go includes $20 in product plus more!

• a full package of the 6 X 6" Best Dressed designer series paper seen here. 
• 1 full spool of Mint 3/8" satin ribbon
• a full package of Pearl jewels
• a pdf tutorial for all 8 fun fold cards plus the purse and mini cards
• the pre-cut kit!  It includes pre-cut, punched and die-cut pieces ready to stamp and assemble.
• You'll cut your own designer paper using the measurements in the tutorial. 

Save

I used the Dressed to Impress, Butterfly Gala and Peaceful Moments stamp sets to finish mine.  In the tutorial I give you two examples of each card so you can make either or both.  Add on either stamp set or bundle at a 10% discount! 

You have two choices: get the pre-kit to go which includes the pdf tutorial.  Or opt to purchase the pdf tutorial alone. 

You can see and purchase both here on my Tutorial Shop.  Be sure to opt in by Friday, April 17th! 

Here are some comments from happy customers:

• Have you made a ‘Book-binding Easel’ card yet? It’s so neat!

  May 12, 2023

  ---

  This cool card is made like a traditional book binding fold but turned into an easel card too! 

  Save

  I used Berry Burst & Misty Moonlight or Blueberry Bushel for my layers. That cute tag on the front is from the Beautiful Balloons dies.  The stars that hold up the easel are die-cuts from the same dies.  You need to add a Dimensional on one of them. Watch the video here or scroll down. 

  You can see this bundle here online.

  I stamped the inside with the banner in multiple colors, some stamped off.

  Save

  Here's what the card looks when it's flat:

  I am so glad that we have Berry Burst back!

• Beautiful Balloons with Bright & Beautiful designer series paper

  May 11, 2023

  ---

  I've been playing with the Beautiful Balloons bundle and thought making my own background with the balloon images would be cool.  

  Save

  I chose a few of our newest colors to compliment the Bright & Beautiful designer series paper seen here.  My colors are Bubble Bath, Lemon Lime Twist and Boho Blue.  I love that the images appear somewhat translucent like real balloons.

  *I'll be featuring this fun designer paper in next month's card kit to go. 

  It's an easy fun fold card too. I stamped the greeting on a stamped large balloon and die-cut it with one of the dies in the bundle.   

  Measurements:

  • Bubble Bath card stock is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" & scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
  • designer paper is 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
  • White 3 1/4" X 4 1/2" 
  • Black 3 3/8" X 4 5/8" 

  I had fun stamping the inside (3 1/2" X 4 3/4") with the balloon string and confetti images.

• All of the Little Things kit with an alternate fun fold card idea!

  May 10, 2023

  ---

  I had time to stamp some kits last weekend and thought I'd share them with you. I do love our kits!  Such enjoyable and stress free creating! I did it at a crafting day at our church. All I took with me was adhesive, a bone folder, paper snips, and the kit!

  The cards below were made with April's 'All the Little Things' Paper Pumpkin kit.  I made most of them as the kit directed me to. 

  Save

  However I changed the greetings so I could use them as thank you cards. Such a gorgeous kit this is!  If you're a Paper Pumpkin subscriber did you know you are eligible to get the refills when they become available?  The refill kit includes all products in the original kit except the stamp set & ink spot.  But you already own those so it's easy to make more cards. you can get the refill for this kit here. 

  Today, May 10th, is the last day to get in on the Exploring In Color Paper Pumpkin kit. More information below.

  Each month I create a few alternative ideas and share them with my subscribers and my Team; here's a peak at April's projects. 

  Save

  Here's one of the cards I made.  It's a floating panel card!

  Save

  Here's a quick example of how to make one.  Score your (5 1/2" X 8 1/2") card twice – at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4".  Then add two folded strips of card stock (about 1/2" X 2" each) on that center front fold – both folds meet on that scored line. Add adhesive to the top area and add your top panel to it.  Done!  

  Save

  I LOVED making these cards!  If you want to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin with me, here's a link.  

  Or if you'd rather purchase a subscription you can do that here. 

  Remember that with Paper Pumpkin you are in charge of which kits you receive; pause if you don't like the next kit. But as a subscriber you are eligible to get any of the available refills or add on items.  

  Hint: June's kit will include an add on die-cut option!
