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!

  • 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

    Which is your favorite?

  • Stunning cards in the Lovely Lavender card kit to go!


    I love these gorgeous cards so much!  They have lots of details & elements but they're still quick to create!

    This card kit includes 12 cards; you'll make 4 each of 3 card designs. It's based on the Lovely Lavender Paper Pumpkin refill kit but I've added an extra 4 cards, changed them up and added on extra product to jazz them up.

    The kit includes the following:

    • 12 card bases, greeting labels & die-cut elements for the 12 cards
    • a share of Fine Shimmer Purple gems
    • a share of Paper Butterfly Accents
    • 12 envelopes
    • The PDF tutorial with photos & step by step directions

    This kit does not include stamps or inks. You'll need greetings, purple ink & adhesives to complete the cards. I used the Charming Sentiments set. 

    Click here to reserve your kit for $28 plus shipping. 

    I have a limited supply of these kits; do not wait long to reserve yours!  The kits will be mailed out at the end of February. The PDF tutorial will be sent via email immediately after payment. Check your junk folder. 

    I have 6 other pre-cut card kits & 1 scrapbook kit available in my shop right now.  Save on shipping and order more than one! 

    Here's a photo of the other new February kit or tutorial I'm offering.

  • Flight & Airy surprise accordion fold with video & free project sheet


    I shared this beautiful card in last week's Live video. We also made it at my local Card Clubs as well.  

    There are so many fabulous projects and features on this pretty card front I'll list them here:

    • The colors are Fresh Freesia with Boho Blue & White.
    • The Fresh Freesia layer is first cut with the Perennial Postage dies before texturing. 
    • The beautiful texture is from the Layering Floral 3D embossing folder seen here.  I cannot recommend this folder enough!  I rubbed my Craft White ink pad directly over the deep texture to highlight the flowers. *watch the video
    • The pretty butterfly is from our Paper Butterfly Accents. We added Boho Blue & Fresh Freesia ink to it with Blending Brushes. 
    • The greeting stamps are from the Heartfelt Hellos stamp set.  It's one of our free choices with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration.  See it here. 
    • The White greeting label is made by punching the ends of a 1" wide strip of card stock with our Handmade Tag punch.  It's layered onto the Heartfelt Hexagon punch.
    • See the Flight & Airy designer paper here.  It's another free Sale-a-Bration choice with a $50 order through February, or while supplies last.
    • The inside layers were also made with the Perennial Postage dies (like the front layer) 

    But the coolest thing about this card is that you get a fun surprise once you open it! 

    There's a full strip of Flight or Fancy designer paper inside, folded accordion style in the center. This leaves the outer areas flat for adding greetings etc.  Remember there's a video tutorial to watch here or below. 

    You can add more labels, greetings or punches on each of the accordion folds as well if you wish.

    I hope you like this pretty, fun fold card!  It was a hit with my Club gals. 

    Here's the video tutorial for this card and a few more featuring some of these products.  Plus lots of product tips too!
