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.

• Merriest Moments ‘5 at a time’ cards with free templates

  December 3, 2021

  ---

  Here's another set of my '5 at a time' cards I shared yesterday here.  I used the Merriest Moments stamp set. This stamp set is carrying over to next year's Holiday catalog along with the dies & Hybrid embossing folder but they will not longer be in a bundle at 10% off.

  See the carry over list here.  And the retiring or Last Chance list here  

  Save

  My colors include Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce, Sahara Sand & White.  I love the unusual addition of the Sahara Sand.  I chose it to blend in softly instead of another attention grabber. 

  Save

  See the texture?  After I stamped I used the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder before layering the pieces and finishing the cards. I used the Double Oval punch here. 

  If you missed yesterday's post I shared these '5 at a time' cards on a recent FB Live video seen here.  I created two templates that layer each other for quick set of 5 A2 sized finished cards.  And they sized perfectly for very little waste. 

  Below is how the White card stock is stamped.  Can you see that the images concentrate on two sides of each piece leaving one corner free & clear? This keeps the cards from being too busy. 

  Save

  Before I stamped I scored on the 4 3/4" and 3 1/2" lines (using the measurements on the template) leaving the piece intact. You could also draw a light pencil mark so you know where to stamp. Then after stamping I can cut on the scored lines. 

  Save

  Below are the templates.  Remember these are 8 1/2" X 11" to start with.

  As you can see these templates have very little waste. 

  I hope you watch the video below to see the tips & tricks on using these templates.

• My ‘5 at a time’ card templates are addicting!

  December 2, 2021

  ---

  I'm so excite to share this fun & unique idea!  I created two templates that help you make 5 cards at a time.  It's addicting & you'll be looking at your stamps in a whole new way!  

  I shared this on last week's Facebook Live and it was a hit!  It's so fun to do. 

  Save

  For these cards I used the Merry Snowflakes stamp set (seen here) & Pool Party, Bermuda Bay & Highland Heather inks. The card stock is White, Gorgeous Grape, Bermuda Bay & Coastal Cabana. If you follow me you know these are some of my favorite colors! They're perfect for snowflakes. 

  Save

  Below are the templates.  Remember these are 8 1/2" X 11" to start with.  For these cards I stamped before I cut but you can certainly cut your pieces first if you'd like to.

  As you can see these templates have very little waste. 

  Before I stamped I scored on the 4 3/4" and 3 1/2" lines leaving the piece intact. You could also draw a light pencil mark so you know where to stamp. 

  And here is how the White card stock is stamped. (I forgot to take a photo before I cut and layered them.)

  Can you see that the images concentrate on two sides of each piece leaving one corner free & clear? Basically you're stamping down the middle and on each of the lines. This keeps the cards from being too busy.

  I added a few iridescent Wonderful snowflakes (seen here) to some of them; I cannot get enough of these!  They're such a great size & value – you get 24 for $6. 

  I hope you watch the video below to see the tips & tricks on using these templates.

  Below is the video so you can see how it's done.

  Isn't it adorable?!  I just loved her colors & design and had to case it almost exactly!  And guess what?!  The Penguin Place bundle is back in stock!!  See it here online; it will not return as a bundle at 10% off after this catalog period.
