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.

• Simple & fun card sketch with Honeybee Home

  February 3, 2022

  ---

  Do you ever use card sketches to get inspired?  I love them!  I find most of them on Pinterest. 

  We use card sketches & color combos on my Flowerbug's Team group for challenges & inspiration.  It's so fun to see the different projects everyone comes up with. This is the sketch we're using now:

  Save

  I used it as inspiration to create this card with the Honeybee Home bundle and the Simply Marbelous designer series paper. 

  Save

  It's such an easy sketch to use.  Some are using card stock, others designer paper and one used ribbon!  

  My card is Basic Bray with Bumblebee accents.  Gray & yellow are beautiful together.  In fact one of my bathrooms has these colors! 

  The Simply Marbelous designer paper was my color inspiration.  This 6 X 6" DSP is free with a $50 Stampin' Up! order through the month of February; or while supplies last.  See it here. 

  Save

  On the video I share my tips on placing these 1/4" strips.  It's a little tricky but entirely doable!  

  Save

  The greeting and flower die are placed on a circle die-cut from the Beautiful Shapes dies seen here.  

  Save

  See this Honeybee Home bundle here.  The stamp set has pretty images & greetings and the dies work great as silhouettes!

• An easy Whitewashing Technique with our Retiring In Colors

  February 2, 2022

  ---

  I had time to play with the Whitewashing technique & our beautiful Calming Camellia stamp set.

  This first card features my top favorite color among the retiring 2020-22 In Colors; Misty Moonlight.  I hope it returns someday! 

  Save

  I decided to cut the pieces down to fit and layer on one 8 1/2" X 11" piece of Basic White CS. I love saving card stock this way.  

  Save

  The In Color pieces measure 3 3/8" X 4 1/2" and the layering White is 3 1/2" X 4 5/8".

  How did I do the Whitewashing Technique?  I use our White Craft ink pad and a water painter.  I added a few drops of the White Craft ink refill to the inside of the ink pad and added water from the brush.  Swirl it around a bit and start painting.  You don't need much if you like it soft; I prefer it pretty diluted. 

  You can see a demonstration in this video; it's the second project. 

  Save

  Heads up!! These 2020-22 In Color will retire at the end of March.  If you have the ink pads, make sure you have the ink refills and grab extra card stock or Designer Paper too!  See all of this color line here. 

  ***Once the retired list comes out these tend to sell out FAST! 

  Here's my other favorite of these In Colors; Just Jade.  I love this pretty, medium toned green.  It fits so beautifully with other colors! 

  Save

  This stamp set is a 'distinktive' set which means it gives multiple hues of color with one inking.  Love these so much! 

  Did you notice that these cards are also monochromatic?  I cannot get enough of a single color with a neutral. This technique truly shows off our gorgeous colors! 

  Save

  The Calming Camellia stamp set is free during Sale-a-Bration with a $300 order.  So if you have a big wishlist you can get this free along with $36 in host rewards AND 6 additional Sale-a-Bration choices too! Click here to see it.

  February 1, 2022

  ---

  My Flowerbug's and I held a Zoom meeting last week and we all made versions of my Easy 8 Card Wonder.  I chose to use the Hello Ladybug stamp set for mine.  

  Save

  My colors are Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green, Real Red & Black.  My Easy 8 Card Wonder template takes the guesswork our of creating.  

  Here is how I prepped for the Zoom.  I chose my colors, printed the template on White CS, grabbed my card stock & bags of scraps and stamped a few greeting tags.
