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.

• Lots of Whimsical Trees card ideas; with video!

  November 9, 2021

  ---

  I played with the Whimsical Trees bundle on last week's FB Live.  You can watch the video here. 

  The Whimsy & Wonder specialty paper coordinates with it too.  And it's back in stock too!  

  Save

  I kept to the colors in the Whimsy & Wonder DSP for my card projects.  Mostly Mossy Meadow, Mint Macaron & Polished Pink. I made the lower left card ahead of time and the right  during the Live video.  Look at the detail on these die-cuts!  So many choices! 

  Save

  Every tree and accent was die-cut using the Whimsy & Wonder DSP, Silver foil paper & Mint Macaron CS. The tag is from the Tags & More set of dies seen here.  The embossing folder is called Wintry 3D and it comes in a pair seen here. 

  Save

  I wanted to include some silver embossing for the ornaments card and used an entire panel of the pretty Specialty Paper on the card front. I pulled in Mint Macaron & Polished Pink from the DSP and coloring to coordinate.  That's my favorite thing about Stampin' Up! – our color coordination.  No more shopping for things that match!  

  Save

  This card below is probably my favorite of the three.  I die-cut a white tree from my card front (4 3/4" X 3 1/2") and sponged it with Polished Pink ink.  Then I added a piece of designer paper behind the window and offset the sponged tree. 

  What a neat but quick Christmas card this would be!  

  Save

  The 2021-23 In Color gems add a bit of bling to the popped up tree.   The greeting is from the Frosted Gingerbread stamp set.

• A unique but easy fun fold card; join me Live tonight!

  November 8, 2021

  ---

  I do a Live video the 2nd & 4th Monday evenings focusing on using Designer Paper.  Many of us hoard it so I'm hoping to inspire you to use it!

  We're making these neat fun fold cards on FB live at 7:30 pm CT tonight. Go here to join me.

  Or see it here afterwards.

  The right side is adhered down so only the left side of the card opens up.  It's different yet fun and simple. You will need a paper trimmer to cut the card front. 

  I chose to use the Tidings of Christmas designer series paper in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.  See it here or on page 133. 

  Other products include:

  • Tidings of Christmas bundle (annual catalog pg. 89 or seen here)
  • Stitched so Sweetly dies
  • Star-crossed embossing folder
  • Holiday rhinestones

  Measurements

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" plus 1" X 4" strip for embossed layer. *To cut the front flap, cut at the 4 1/4" point to the score line. 
  • Cherry Cobbler card stock 4" square, plus 3/4" X 5" strip
