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!

  • Get 95 sheets of New Spring Catalog Designer Paper in my DSP paper share!


    Many people like to see (& feel) the designer papers in person and it's so nice to have a sample of each one.  This way you know if you want to order full packs or not.  Plus it's great to have some of each so you can participate in challenges, swaps or just case/copy a cute sample you see online.  

    In my Spring Catalog designer paper share you'll receive 95 sheets of every single pack available!  They're in 6 X 6" size and it's just $34 (plus shipping if needed).  

    Here's the link to opt in via my Shop.  

    There are 14 different packs including 8 specialty papers like shimmer, vellum, pearl and foiled. 

    If you'd like to earn a Sale-a-Bration item with this order, adding on $32 in products will be enough for a free $50 choice or $72 for a $100 choice.  *12" papers may need to be cut into 6 X 12" size to fit in the package.

    Once each share is filled (I need 8 people) I will order the designer paper.  Then it takes 7-10 days for it to arrive to me for cutting and packaging. So expect your paper share to take at least 2 weeks to arrive.   

    Here's the link to get the designer paper share.  Remember this is limited and likely to last through January only.

  • Masked Blending Technique; join me Live tonight!


    Happy New Year!!!

    ~~~

    Tonight I'm sharing the Masked Blending technique on FB Live.  It's at 7:30 pm here on FB.  It will also be shared on my YouTube channel afterwards.  

    Each month (usually on the last Monday) I host a 'Stamp with Me' Live on my FB page.  I post the project ahead of time so those who want to can prepare and create along with me.  

    Tonight we're playing with masking & blending brushes to create cards like these:  

    I chose to use long post-it notes to 'mask' off the area I want to add color to.  I used Coastal Cabana ink and our Blending Brushes.  You can get an incredibly smooth look with these brushes.  I'll share my favorite tips on using them in the video.  

    The stamp sets are all new in either the upcoming Spring or Sale-a-Bration catalogs. These catalogs go live on January 5th. 

    The card below is made with the Beautifully Happy stamp set.  It's a 2-step set with 17 stamps in it.  It's free with a $100 order from January 5 – February 28th. 

    My colors include Coastal Cabana, Gorgeous Grape & Fresh Freesia. 


    I did stamp the large flower an extra time and fussy cut it so I could pop it up for added dimension.  

    Join me on Facebook here tonight at 7:30 pm CT or watch it later on my YouTube Channel here.

  • One more Petal Park and Kind & Sincere sneak peek card


    There are still lots of bargains on the Clearance Rack and Last Chance list.  Click on the pictures below to see them all.  Remember they're while supplies last!  Be sure to use this host code when you order:   QFTB9AST



    Yesterday I shared a card seen here made with these two new products and today I'm sharing another one.  I found it easy to create with the Petal Park bundle and the Kind & Sincere stamp set.  They're coming out in the upcoming 2023 Spring Catalog by Stampin' Up!. I love them both! 

     

     

    Details:

    • I stamped the 'Thanks' greeting on the White panel before I textured it with the new Cane Weave 3D embossing folder.  
    • The flowers are stamped in Petal Pink and Night of Navy.  The leaves are fussy cut. 
    • The 'for everything' greeting is stamped and die-cut with the new Something Fancy dies
    • The Soft Sea Foam green card base is 4 1/4" X 11" and scored at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2"
    • The white panel is 4 1/4" X 2 3/4"; the Navy is 4 1/2" X 3". 
    • The Petal Pink layer is 2 1/2" X 4".  I used the outline leaf image to stamp a background using Petal Pink ink. 

    I think I'll get a lot of use of the Kind & Sincere stamp set.  I love that you can create your own greetings by putting together the large cursive words with the smaller printed words.  So versatile!

    Here are the 22 swaps I made.  The two main colors are soft & fresh yet the addition of Navy brings it all together & makes it pop. I feel like Navy is slightly softer than Black, which is another of my favorite ways to add a depth of color.  

    Thanks for reading up to this point; I hope you're excited about the upcoming Spring catalog.  It's filled with all kinds of fresh, new products!  

    **If you don't have a local demonstrator I'm happy to send you the new 2023 Spring & Sale-a-Bration catalogs for $5.  If you've ordered from me in the past year; I'll send them to you free.
