Paper Pumpkin kits; get a pre-paid subscription now before the price goes up!


It seems most prices are going up these days and unfortunately Paper Pumpkin is raising their price for each kit by a few dollars. This will take effect on March 11th..

These kits in the mail are a great value and are filled with lots of product to create with. I suggest you get a pre-paid subscription before March 11th to save $$. Go here to subscribe.

Remember you are in full control over which kits you will receive. Once you create your account you can skip a month or add an extra kit. Plus, once you’re a subscriber you get to purchase any of the extras Stampin’ Up! offers like refill kits, add-ons & more.

Here’s one of my bonus projects with the February kit.

I used the add-on dies that were available; but are sadly out of stock now.

Each month I send a bunch of bonus project ideas to my subscribers and my Team. You’ll love using them for creative inspiration.

Here are the details on getting Paper Pumpkin kits:

  • Each all-inclusive kit comes with everything you need to create fun all-occasion or seasonal handcrafted projects—precut paper pieces, stamps, ink, embellishments, adhesives, and step-by-by-step instructions (contents vary depending on the kit). Kits autoship monthly, but if you need to take a break, you can skip a month. Crafting has never been so fun and convenient!
  • Plus, as a subscriber, you can buy refills, past kits, and add-ons (when available) and connect with your Paper Pumpkin community to share projects and ideas.
  • Select the Pay As You Go option to be billed monthly; you can cancel anytime. Or select the Prepay option if you want to receive kits for a specific number of months; you’ll be billed the entire amount now.

March Product of the Month is the Notes of Spring stamp set!

  • Spotlight on Nature – sneak peak of the fabulous new bundle


    Look at the beautiful card my friend & team member Candy sent me last week.  One of our team challenges was to send RAK cards.  Random Acts of Kindness.  I was very grateful to receive one from her!

    Spotlight on Nature Candy

    It's made with a new bundle in the 2024-25 Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!. It's called Spotlight on Nature.  It includes floral, leaves and butterflies along with pretty sentiments.  And an amazing set of detailed & texture circle dies.  

    Notice her softly sponged background around the flowers & leaves. She used Balmy Blue, Old Olive & Calypso Coral here, coloring in her images with Blends markers.  Note that Olive circle die-cut – you can spy it in the photo below.  

    We're going to love these dies!!

  • See how the Josephs Coat Technique is done; with video & free project sheet


    Here's another project made on last week's Live video; it's the Josephs Coat technique using the new, upcoming Leaf Collection stamp.  

    Leaf Collection Josephs coat

    That greeting stamp & scalloped oval die-cut are from the new Unbounded Love bundle from the upcoming 2024 Annual Catalog. I showed how to do this technique in the video here.  I also have a free project sheet with directions. 

    Here are the steps:

    1. Sponge ink all over a neutral piece of card stock – Pretty Peacock, new Summer Splash and lastly Granny Apple Green. 
    2. Wipe off any excess ink with a tissue to remove moisture.  Swipe with an embossing buddy.
    3. Ink your stamp in Versamark ink. Heat emboss with Clear embossing powder.  
    4. Use a water-based ink pad like Memento Black and rub or tap the ink over it all.  This is called 'Direct to Paper'. 
    5. With a damp tissue or paper towel, wipe off excess ink from the embossed area. It will not stay on the embossed area. 
    6. Finish your card as you'd like. 

    Leaf Collection resist

    I inked the stamp again in a few colors – Granny Apple Green & Summer Splash, and fussy cut some leaves out for accents. Dies used above include Something Fancy & Stylish Shapes. 

    The card below features an emboss resist technique.  Same colors but the steps are different. 

    Leaf Collection Emboss resist

    1. First I stamped using Versamark ink onto White card stock and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. 
    2. Then I added ink over the clear embossing; using Blending Brushes. Inks include: Summer Splash, Pretty Peacock and Granny Apple Green.  *This must be water-based ink!
    3. Use a damp tissue or paper towel to wipe off excess ink that will not stick to the embossed areas. Done! 

    The greeting is from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set (online exclusive) and the tags are from the Something Fancy dies (carrying over).
