Here is more info on how Paper Pumpkin works:

A MONTHLY CRAFTING SUBSCRIPTION

EVERYTHING YOU NEED IN A CRAFT BOX

One issue crafters often run into is feeling overwhelmed by their project. Lack of inspiration, proper supplies and crafty know-how might discourage you from even starting a project and unlocking your creative potential!

This never happens with a craft subscription box from Paper Pumpkin. That’s because everything you need for your project is included in your monthly art box. All you have to do is open it up and get started. You’ll be able to make cards, treat bags, gift boxes and so much more with your monthly art box subscription.

BUILD YOUR STAMP COLLECTION

Among the items in each Paper Pumpkin monthly craft kit is a reusable rubber stamp. So after you’re done creating your monthly craft, you’ll have a valuable stamp to add to your collection. You even get a free clear stamping block with your first craft box. Plus, you get a different color ink pad every month as well.

PRINT & VIDEO INSTRUCTION MAKE CRAFTING EASY

Even the craftiest among us worry that we’ll have trouble understanding how to do a project, or that we’ll make a mistake. You never have to worry about that with Paper Pumpkin! That’s because not only does each monthly arts and crafts box come with clear, easy-to-understand printed instructions, but we also upload a video to YouTube so you can watch a professional guide you through the craft.

• Over $1800 donated to Minot charities with our big stamping sale Saturday

  August 10, 2022

  ---

  As many of you know we hold a big paper crafting sale in June of each year where my customers can sell their excess or unwanted stamping items.  This year we added a second sale that we held on Saturday.  Why? Sadly one of my best friends passed away last fall and together with her family we sold her collection of stamping & scrapbooking items. 

  Here's a picture of some of it!

  We did add some items that were generously donated by my customers from the big June sale.  100% of this sale was donated to charities in Minot. 

  Click on the bold names below to read about them. Feel free to donate to any of these non-profits if you'd like to.

  • Matthew 25 – a nonprofit that seeks to match gifts of clothing and household items with those in need in our community at no cost.
  • Hairball Haven – non-profit feline rescue. We primarily pull cats and kittens from the Minot, ND
  • Project Bee – has provided overnight housing for women at local motels and apartments for chronically homeless women with mental health issues.

  The craft items were marked down drastically and people noticed!  Not many items were over $3 and the majority was .25 – .50 cents! Our goal was to sell as much as we could to raise money for our charities.  It was the biggest success we've ever had at a sale!  I am still in awe and shock at how fast the items sold. Over $1800 will be donated to these amazing organizations. 

  My friend was a nurse and amazingly kind & generous. She would be so happy to know we used her craft items to support others in need in our city. 

  We had so little left; just 6 small boxes!  And the leftovers will go towards another group of ladies that make cards for prison inmates, elderly & others in need.  Their group is called Folding Angels.  

  I apologize to those of you who could not take part due to long distance or poor timing.  I know it's a tease and I'm sorry about that.  But I did want to share it with you.  

  Special thanks to my friend Clarisse's daughter, Devin, who helped gather and sort the items to be sold.  Also to my faithful and generous helpers that spent hours marking & sorting – Marilyn, Lori, Pat, Becky & Joanne plus the many that helped at the sale.  It would not have been a success without the many hours of help and guidance you provided.

• Simple stamping with the Simply Fabulous set & Silver & Gold DSP

  August 9, 2022

  I shared fun ways to use the Silver & Gold DSP on last week's Facebook Live video. See the video here.

  I stamped directly onto this foil printed DSP with the Simply Fabulous stamp set seen here.  I chose it because of it's bold, solid images.

  I decided to feature the newest In Colors – Parakeet Party, Sweet Sorbet & Tahitian Tide.  If you love bright, eye catching colors you need these 2-22-24 In Colors! Most of you know I love color coordination; it's why I love Stampin' Up!  They have everything from card stock, ink, markers, ribbon to gems in these colors. See them all here.

  The greeting is stamped on a die-cut from the Beautiful Shapes dies seen here.  I love the unique and playful shape of it.  

  Below are the measurements for this card.
