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.

• Fancy Fold Accordion Heart Doilies!

  January 23, 2020

  ---

  I dreamed of doing this fun accordion fold with the Heart Doilies in my sleep.  I rarely do that!  Do you?  

  Save

  
  

  I shared how in this week's Facebook Live yesterday.  My FB Live's are usually on Tuesdays at 11 am but I was out of town so switched to Wednesday this week.  It's so simple!  And you could do this with many of our dies too!  Click below to see it.

  I also traced the flap of my envelope onto the From My Heart specialty designer paper to make this card extra, extra special!  

  Save

  Details:

  • The pretty soft scallops on the edge of the DSP are from the new Braided Border punch.  I did one length of it and cut it in half for both cards. 
  • The greeting is stamped on a Timeless Label punch and added to another Heart Doily.  The stamps are from the Heart to Heart stamp set seen here. 
  • I used the new sparkly Faceted Gems from the From My Heart Suite.  See them here
  • You get 40 Heart doilies in one package for $5.50; a great deal at .14 cents each.

  Cutting:

  • I cut a strip of the From My Heart designer paper at 3" X 12" and cut that into two pieces 3" X 5 1/2" long.  The hearts are the reverse side of the pretty foil double sided designer paper on the envelope.  When you use these measurements you can get 8 cards from one sheet!  It's a great way to use up the designer paper you may be 'hoarding'. 
  • The white layer inside is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"; my favorite size for inside cards as you can get 5 from one sheet of 8 1/2" X 11".  

  I folded each doily in half and glued each one to the next just on the outer curve.   I adhered the folded doilies to the card with either Tombo liquid adhesive or Tear & Tape; it's super strong!

• The Gang’s All Meer cute window card

  January 22, 2020

  ---

  This stamp set was one of the top free choices at my New Catalog Launch party earlier this month.  People are loving it!

  Save

  I chose to create a window card to highlight these cute critters.  We stamped them in Early Espresso and colored in with Crumb Cake blends markers. 

  **Did you know that when stamping an image you plan to color with our Blends markers you can use any color of our Classic ink pads?  They are water based and the markers are alcohol based.  

  See the stamp set here.  It's a free choice you receive for any $50 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. This lasts through March.

  Details:

  • Coastal Cabana frame is 4" X 3 1/2" and I used a 2 5/8" square die to cut the window.
  • The main card is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" thick White card stock
  • 1 3/8" scalloped circle for the greeting and 1 1/2" circle in Daffodil Delight
  • two 1/2" X 4" strips of Birthday Bonanza designer series paper
  • The twine bow is from the Metallic Baker's Twine & Sequins combo pack; another FREE Sale-a-Bration choice!

• Honey Bee & Little Ladybug; choice!

  January 21, 2020

  ---

  I received this gorgeous swap card from my friend Diana Gibbs. I just love it!  

  Save

  Sweet and simple; but a big wow in my opinion.  The bees are colored with Blends markers in Seaside Spray and Mango Melody plus a little Wink of Stella on the wings.

  That pretty Golden Honey Specialty designer paper is one of the FREE choices in our Sale-a-Bration catalog right now.

  Save

  Get it free with any $50 order through March. But beware that some items do not last through the promotion; they've been known to run out of some items before the promotion ends. 

  The circles are 1 3/4" and the bees are die-cut using the Detailed Bee Dies.  These come in a bundle with the stamp set at 10% off.  See them here.   It pairs beautifully with the Golden Honey designer paper above.

  My friend Judith had a workshop this weekend and she loves the Little Ladybug stamp set so I gave them a choice of two cards.  She was so excited to earn this stamp set FREE with her workshop order. 

  Save

  Remember that I'm giving away one set in January!  Everyone who places an online order from me will be entered in the drawing. 

  Save

  I used a Light Flirty Flamingo Blends marker and the Wink of Stella and So Saffron ink for the belly. A bit of Petal Pink for the faces and sponging on the circles as well.  We added Gold pearls for an accent which pairs nicely with the Golden Honey specialty DSP. 

  The card stock measures 4" X 5 1/4" white, DSP is 1 7/8" X 5" and the Black is 2" X 5".  The circles here are 3/4", 1 1/2" and 1 3/4" in size. 

  Below you can see how we stamped the inside of the card.

  Which one would you choose to make?
