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.

  Yesterday was my weekly Facebook Live where I shared 3 projects featuring the Kite Delight stamp set in the 2022 January-June mini catalog. This cute stamp set is NOT coming back in the new Stampin' Up! Annual catalog.  See it here. 

  I added all of the upcoming new In Colors to this card!

  The clouds are heat embossed on the Balmy Blue CS using White embossing powder.  The clouds are an outline stamp but I wanted to fill them in to look 'white'.  So I used my Chalk Marker to color them in and love the effect!  I am so sad to report that this neat Chalk Marker was on the retiring list and is already sold out.  You could use White craft ink or White chalk pastels and color it in too. 

  The kite is stamped on White CS using Black Memento ink and colored in with the NEW In Color Blends markers. I fussy cut it and added to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals. 

  Save

  I stamped the sun image on a scrap of Daffodil Delight CS using Daffodil Delight ink and fussy cut it.  There is not a punch or dies to coordinate with this stamp set, but I didn't mind fussy cutting the kites or sun.  Easy to do!

  Here's a link to the video.  Or click on the photo below to watch how to make this card and two more using the Kite Delight stamp set!

• Control Freaks Blog Hop; ‘Can’t Live Without’ theme

  April 19, 2022

  ---

  This month the Control Freaks are sharing their favorite retiring products in a 'Can't Live Without' theme.  There are so many wonderful items on the Last Chance list this year!  Be sure to really look at it so you have no regrets when they're no longer available.

  Save

  If you just arrived here be sure to click on the icon at the end of each post to see it all.  Or maybe you just arrived from Melissa's blog.  I love her style! 

  I'm focusing on the Garden Wishes stamp set & Dandy Wishes dies today. Both are marked down 40-50% right now!  

  This first card is bright & colorful in Magenta Madness, Black & White.  I love a black & white card with a pop of color.  

  Save

  The Designer Paper is the All Together 6 X 6" DSP; it's a special collection ending in May. 

  I used the 'Floating' technique here.  I adhered strips of various widths of Designer Series Paper to a piece of Window Sheet and die-cut it out with the largest circle in our Layering Circle dies.  Then I added dimensionals to the back and adhered it to a 4 X 5 1/4" White card stock that's been textured with the Gingham embossing folder. 

  Products retiring:

  • Dandy Wishes dies
  • Garden Wishes stamp set
  • All Together 6 X 6" DSP

  I just love these Dandy Wishes die-cuts!  They are unique. fun and give lots of texture to our projects.

  Save

  Next is a pretty card that's soft and almost ethereal instead of bright & bold.  The colors include Pool Party, White & Calypso Coral.  

  I used the same greeting from the Garden Wishes stamp set and the same round 'Dandy Wishes' dies but also added more die-cuts in the set. I also sponged the center of the round die-cuts with Calypso Coral ink.  

  Save

  Notice the two sizes of the White 'dandelions'? I trimmed off a few of the thin, outer petals on one for a smaller flower. The Designer Paper background is from the Flowering Fields DSP in the 2022 January-June catalog. 

  I am SUPER SAD that the Tailored Tag punch is retiring.  It's so easy to layer this one! Just cut a second one in half horizontally. It's my 'go to' punch for greetings. If you don't have this punch, get it now; it's on sale! 

  Retiring items:

  • Dandy Wishes dies
  • Garden Wishes stamp set
  • Flowering Fields DSP
  • Tailored Tag punch

  *Remember the Last Chance products are while supplies last and many are already gone.

• A simple trick makes this Floating Pop-Up card work; with measurements & video!

  April 19, 2022

  ---

  This special fancy fold card is super unique and makes you wonder just how it's sort of floating!  You will be shocked at what it takes to make it work.  

  I used the Crane of Fortune bundle to create this card. The colors are so soft & pretty – Gray Granite, Calypso Coral, White & Early Espresso. 

  Save

  The front panel flips up as you open the card and it even wobbles a bit.  You can see how it works in the video, or scroll down to the next photo.  

  I stamped the main image on a die-cut from the Stitched So Sweetly dies. They are on the retiring list; so if you don't have them yet you know what you need to do! 

  Save

  The Good Fortune dies include the pretty leaves I used to hold my card open. When doing this be sure to add Dimensionals under the image to support the card open.  

  You need two little pieces of card stock under the front layers to make the pop-up work.  Mine are 1/2" X 2 1/2" but size really does not matter here.  Just fold them in half and secure one side to the card base and the other to the top layer. Do this on each side of the front panel. Again, please watch the video here to see how it works.

  Please follow me on Facebook here to catch my Live videos each week.  I share 6 each month and my focus is to inspire you to stamp by sharing great ways to use Designer Paper, unique fun folds and easy techniques.
