Paper Pumpkin update & bonus project for The Best There Is kit


Even though I am a seasoned stamper I still enjoy receiving and playing with my Paper Pumpkin kits each month. Sometimes I make the projects as directed and other times I like to change them up. 

Here's one of my 'change it up' projects from May's The Best There Is' kit. 

I used the add on dies for the 'thanks' – heat embossing it in White on Early Espresso card stock. I added on a few pieces of the Country Woods designer paper to this fun fold card.  This card was one of the Bonus Projects included in my free tutorial my subscribers received in early June.  

Below is a peak at the bonus projects I send them each month. They receive at least 9 extra project ideas for the kits they received. 

Click here to subscribe to receive a kit each month; read below for more details. 

July's kit should be a pretty one; here's a sneak peak.

We always get a peak at what's in the next month's kit.  This helps subscribers decide if they want it or if they want to skip that kit.  You always have a choice!  

They've released a special add on for the next 3 kits as well! These add-ons are available to current PP subscribers. They also get to choose from any other refill kits or available add on items!  

Here are the benefits & tips for subscribing to Paper Pumpkin kits: 

A MONTHLY CRAFTING SUBSCRIPTION

If you’re looking for a fun and simple creative outlet paper crafting might be your best option! It’s fun, creative, and handmade projects bring joy to you and to others. And nothing makes paper crafting as fun, easy, and creative as Paper Pumpkin!

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 set. 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.

KIDS CAN HELP WITH MONTHLY CRAFT KITS

Although Paper Pumpkin makes craft boxes for adults, they can be fun for the whole family! Use your monthly craft box subscription to introduce your kids to a fun and creative outlet. It’s truly a gift to instill a love of crafting and creativity in kids. You’ll be thrilled to see how their skills grow over time. One day your kids might have their own monthly craft subscription box!

    I chose to feature the Poetic Expressions designer paper for my February card kit to go because of it's soft & pretty patterns. 

    Just beautiful & fresh color combos & layouts here. There are 5 sets of cards for a total of 10 in this kit to go; all featuring the pretty Poetic Expressions designer paper. A few are fancy fold layouts.

  • 3 ways to use the Layered Floral on one card!


    I shared this pretty textured card on last week's FB live video: 

    The textured card stock is Fresh Freesia.  I used a Blending Brush with Blackberry Bliss ink to highlight the gorgeous texture. The Layered Floral 3D embossing folder is amazing; it has super deep texture! 

    I made a second card during the video with another rich color combination of Night of Navy with Boho Blue. Note the different ways I added vellum to these two cards. 

    Also note the pretty texture added to the envelope flap; why don't we do this more often!? 

    Here are the 3 ways I featured this pretty Layered Floral 3D embossing folder:

    1. Textured, then added ink with a Blending Brush.
    2. I textured the envelope flap and add a very light ink, again with a Blending Brush.
    3. Cut out a large flower from a separate piece of textured card stock; and I punched a smaller flower using the Petal Park Builder punch – yes it coordinates!!

    Products used here:

    • Layered Floral 3D embossing folder; seen here
    • Deckled Circle dies seen here
    • Vellum card stock
    • Cheerful Daisy dies
    • Heartfelt Hellos stamp set from Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here; free with a $50 order
