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.

• Origami Christmas Tree card; soooo easy!

  December 15, 2021

  ---

  I make one of these trees almost every year.  Why? Because they are easy & fun and we always have new Designer Paper for me to play with. 

  All you need are four squares of DSP. No scoring or other measurements.  Watch the video here or below to see how it's done.

  Here are the supplies:

  • Card stock – Old Olive & Mossy Meadow card bases, Real Red & Cherry Cobbler layers, White greeting strip & inside
  • Designer Paper – Heartwarming Hugs (out of stock now) and Sweet Stockings

  • Star topper from the Starlit punch
  • Embossing folder – Evergreen Forest (out of stock temporarily)

• Easy Christmas Ornament card

  December 14, 2021

  ---

  I think this is pretty clever & unique; it's a 'faux' Christmas ornament on a card. And it's quick & easy too!  

  Save

  It looks so real; like you could lift it off!  And you actually could if you use temporary adhesive; or add it to a pocket.  

  I shared this project on a FB Live last week.  It's the second project I made in this video.  

  Products used:

  • Merry Melody embossing folder on the White CS
  • The ornament is made with the largest smooth circle in our Circles dies. 
  • The DSP is called Painted Christmas and is in low inventory right now.  
  • Elegant Trim for the 'hanger'. 
  • Brushed Metallic specialty CS for the 'hanger'. 
  • Heat embossing for the greeting – from the Words of Cheer stamp set. 
  • CS is Real Red, White & Evening Evergreen 

  Here's a close-up of it. 

  Save

  I give a few hints in the video on achieving this.  Basically you want to stamp your greeting first and add it to your DSP.  THEN cut both pieces out at the same time with your circle die.

• Fun way to use paper strips! Live video tonight!

  December 13, 2021

  ---

  We made these cards on FB Live Monday night.  What a fun and easy way to use up your extra designer paper pieces! Click here to watch the video. 

  Save

  I used the Pattern Party designer paper for these cards. It's a host choice in the back of the annual catalog seen here.  One side is Black & White and the other is colorful prints. I love the black & white patterns with a pop of color! 

  Tips: 

  • I start out with a 2 1/4" X 4 3/4" piece of neutral CS.  This is what I adhered the strips of Designer Paper to. 
  • I added Seal adhesive over the entire piece and added the strips one by one. 
  • Apply one strip across the middle at an angle first. Then keep filling in. 
  • I trimmed the excess off the edges once I had it well covered with strips.  
  • My DSP strips measure between 1/4" and 5/8" wide and about 3" long.  It doesn't matter how wide your strips are; it looks great if they're different widths.  
  • Add dimensionals to the back of this piece for added dimension. 
  • Add a greeting and accents if desired.

  You might wonder where this greeting is from.  It's an upcoming Sale-a-Bration stamp set called 'Hello Friend'.  It's in a bundle with a pack of Designer Paper.  It will be free with a $100 purchase during SAB in January & February.  Of course Demo's can earn it free now during our pre-order period. 

  The other new items here is a punch.  Can you spot it?  It's called the bough punch and has two options in the punch.  The large leaf and the 'buds' too.
