Change is Beautiful Paper Pumpkin alternatives; plus discounted past kits while supplies last!

April's Paper Pumpkin kit is filled with butterflies, scenes & fun fold cards.  Each month I enjoy creating alternative designs with the contents in the kits to share with my subscribers each month.  
 
I couldn't wait to play with this kit!  Here's a pretty card I made just an hour after receiving my box:
 
 
I cut the front of a card base to fit on the front of a Crushed Curry card base and used other elements in the kit (butterfly, flower, banner & gems) to create this scene.  I love changing up the cards; the kits are great as is but the challenge of creating something new is fun!
 
This next card uses the other half of the original card base.  The flower layer and the polka dot layer behind it are from the original card.  I did trim them just a bit to fit on a White layer.  
Other Details: 
  • I stamped the butterfly in the kit onto the Granny Apple Green layer with Versamark ink for a soft background. 
  • The caterpillar is from the kit.  
  • The butterflies are stamped on White card stock using Black Memento ink and colored in with Blends markers. 
  • The greeting is stamped on an Oval die-cut. 
Heads up on May's Paper Pumpkin kit – it will feature each of our 5 new In Colors AND they are adding Golden Vouchers worth $25 USD to some of the boxes. The winners will find their Golden Voucher in their May 2022 Paper Pumpkin box.

  • Dressed to Impress meets Ornate Frames for a gorgeous hand made box!

    These are the boxes I included in my Spring Retreat last month.  I think they're gorgeous and was so happy with how they turned out!

    They're hand made from White and Lovely Lipstick card stock with fussy cut flowers and leaves from the Best Dressed designer series paper added to the top. The greeting is from the Dressed to Impress stamp set. The pretty die-cuts are from the Ornate Frames & Ornate Border dies which are now available again!  See them here. 

    Here's a picture of the assembly process:

    Here are the box dimensions:

    • Top is 3 3/4" X 5 1/2" scored at 3/4" on all sides
    • Bottom is 3 5/8" X 5 3/8" and scored at 3/4" on all sides.  

    Tips:

    • Once you have the box pieces cut and scored you can use the Ornate Border dies to die-cut the pretty windows in the sides.  
    • Cut the White frame using the Ornate Frames dies. Stamp the greeting and add fussy cut leaves and flowers. 
    • Fill with chocolate!

  • Introducing the new 2020-22 In Colors!

    They're in my hands!  The new In Colors that is.  Look at these gorgeous new colors we'll all get to play with soon!

    2020 In colors Misty Moonlight Save

    I added a few of our current colors of card stock with each new color so you can compare them.  The Misty Moonlight is like soft, worn denim.

    This one seems like a color we've never had before!  It's a honey brown or rich, caramel color. 

    2020 In color Magenta . Save

    The Magenta Madness is a pretty bright pink.  If you've been around long enough it reminds me of the Pink Passion we used to have years ago.

    The Bumblebee is a golden version of Crushed Curry but a bit brighter.

    Just Jade is a pretty green and also seems different from anything I remember us having before.  It's lovely! 

    Here's a sneak peak of 5 cards I made with LOTS of brand new products!  Everything is new but the White card stock.

    How many new products can you spy here?

    We are going to absolutely LOVE these new colors!  I cannot wait to play and create new, favorite combinations with our current line of colors.   

    Special offer! Each year at my Open House event in early June I offer my local gals a fabulous bundle of our new In Color products . This year I'll be offering it online to everyone (in the USA)!   It's usually consists of the In Color ink pads, ink refills, assorted In Color card stock, In Color designer paper and embellishments (or ribbon).  Then with that purchase they get the set of In color markers free!   It's a great way to have it all and not worry about needing ink refills or markers later.  

    However Stampin' Up! is already running low on a few of these items so I may have to change it up this year.  I'll know more the last week of May, which is when I'll open it up to everyone.  The Covid-19 crisis is sure causing havoc with shipping and inventory; not just with SU but globally.  But we make do with what we have right?  And that will include a ton of new and excited products!
