April’s Paper Pumpkin is ‘Delicate Wings’ and looks amazing


I thought I'd share some sneak peaks of upcoming Paper Pumpkin kits.  

April's kit is called Delicate Wings


Did you know that you are in charge of which kits you receive?  Once you purchase a pre-paid subscription or subscribe you can opt out of any kit you do not want. Stampin' Up! shares what's coming up each month so you can decide if you want it or not.  You have complete control!

You're also eligible to purchase any of the refill kits or add-on's SU offers. See them all here. 

*Plus when you subscribe with me, LeeAnn Greff, you'll qualify for a FREE tutorial each month.

  • This tutorial PDF is filled with 10 or more alternate ideas for additional projects you can make with each month's kit (includes photos & instructions) – making your kit go a lot further!  *see example photo below

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.

  • A Fun Fold card with the Changing Leaves hybrid embossing folder; video too!


    Here's the last card in the group of three I shared in last week's live video. I featured the Changing Leaves bundle from the Online Extras. 

    My colors include Basic Beige and Mossy Meadow with a tiny bit of white and Pretty Peacock added. That beautiful circle die-cut is the largest in the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. 

    The Changing Leaves bundle includes the stamp set, dies and hybrid embossing folder.  You might wonder what a 'hybrid' embossing folder is? It's a folder that has a coordinating die that works 'inside' the folder.  It cuts and embosses at the same time.  Genius!   Confused on how this works? Watch the video here to see. 

    I cut out all three leaves from the large leaf die at once and each card featured a different leaf. I thought I was smart to design my swap cards this way and save time too. 

    Two cards feature a diagonal design but they're all quite different. Each one includes Mossy Meadow & Basic Beige cardstock though. 

    See the previous two blog posts for the free project sheets.  Or click here to see all of my project sheets!  

    Watch the video below to see how the Changing Leaves bundle with the Hybrid embossing folder works. You'll also see multiple techniques too!

  • Green & Gold fun fold card with Changing Leaves bundle; & a free project sheet too!


    Today I'm sharing the second card I made during last week's Live video. My projects focused on new Online Exclusive products.  There's lots of beautiful texture on this monochromatic card.

    This card features multiple new Online Exclusive products released last week.

    Did you know that Stampin' Up! releases a bunch of new online extras multiple times a year?  These items are not in any printed publication and are seen only online. Most people don't realize that they can be ordered online or at local events.

    • Greetings of the Season stamp & dies bundle seen here
    • Changing Leaves stamp, dies & hybrid embossing folder bundle seen here

    I'll be featuring this pretty Green & Gold specialty designer paper for one of my upcoming card kits:

    Here's the inside view of this card.  I call it a center flap fold. It allows you to use two different pieces of coordinating designer paper.

  • Changing Leaves Hybrid embossing folder technique; with free project sheet & video tutorial


    I joined quite a few swaps featuring our newest group of Online Exclusives and this is one of the cards I made:

    It features the Changing Leaves bundle seen here.  It includes a stamp & die bundle AND a coordinating hybrid embossing folder as well. 

    I used two different embossing techniques on this card. If you look closely at the die-cut leaf you'll see there's ink in the recessed part of the leaf.  That was done by adding ink to the embossing folder before I cut & embossed the leaves.  Please watch the video here to see how it's done. 

    My colors include the new Basic Beige and Mossy Meadow with White. I also ran a piece of Basic Beige CS through the clean folder and added ink with a blending brush afterwards. 

    In the two cards below you'll see that the Beige card stock looks different.  The left card was done by blending Mossy Meadow ink very lightly over the textured CS. The right card was done by adding ink to the embossing folder before I textured it. Two totally different results! Again; watch the video below to see how it's done. 

    For the greetings I used another new Online Exclusive stamp set called Everyday Greetings. It's a fabulous greeting set. See it here. 

    The oval die-cut is from a new set of dies called Greetings of the Season dies seen here. They're paired with a stamp set but are great on their own too. 

    Did you know that Online Exclusives simply mean that they're seen online and not in any printed publication? Anyone can order them! See them all here; there are tons of them!
