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!

  • Use your scraps with the Double Twisted Ribbon technique; live class tonight!


    If you like using up those paper scraps I have a fun technique to share.  It's called the Double Twisted Ribbon technique. 

    I'll be demonstrating it on tonight's Stamp with Me Live on Facebook.  It's at 7:30 pm Central time on the last Monday of the month and it's a free class!  See the replay here

    I chose to use the Lights Aglow specialty designer paper seen here for my card samples.  It's so pretty with the gold foil accents and fine patterns.  

    Tips:

    • You'll need 6 strips of two different patterns; you can also use card stock for them.  I cut them into 1/2" X 4" strips.  
    • The strips are adhered to a White piece measuring 2 1/2" X 5 1/4".  This is scored every 1" from the top down.  These score lines help you when adhering your strips. 
    • Once your strips are adhered you will add it to a layer measuring 2 3/4" X 5 1/2".  I recommend you use a color that coordinates with a color in your DSP.  

    For this card I chose to use the Holly Berry dies for the leaves & berries.  The greeting die-cut is from the All That dies.  

    My card base is Evening Evergreen.  The greeting is from the upcoming Framed & Festive stamp set.  It's new and available to Demonstrators in October, but will be out for customers in November.  

    For this next card I stamped the greeting (also from the Framed & Festive stamp set) onto a die-cut circle from the Stylish Shapes dies.

    That pretty gold leaf die-cut is from the upcoming Framed Floret dies – also coming out in November for customers.  I added a few Festive Pearls for berries.

  • Triple Accordion fun fold card with Lights Aglow DSP; easy but WOW!


    I love this unique fun fold card; I'm calling it a triple accordion card.  I demonstrated it on this week's FB Live video.  See it here on my YouTube channel.  

     

    I featured the Lights Aglow specialty designer paper seen here.  It's so beautiful in Cherry Cobbler, Soft Succulent, Black, Evening Evergreen and pretty gold foil accents. Luckily it's back in stock right now. 

     

    Here's what the card looks like folded flat.  It shows off multiple sheets of the designer paper and fits in a standard A2 envelope, measuring 5 1/2" X 4 1/4". 

    I used a few other products here; especially gold themed items. 

    Gold foil and Gold Distressed paper, Elegant Metallic trim, Gold embossing powder & Festive Pearls.  I also used the Twinkling Lights and Layering Circle dies and the Brightest Glow stamp set.

    For variety I added some Evening Evergreen to the next card.  

    Measurements: 

    • Cherry Cobbler card base 4 ¼” X 11” scored at 2 ½”, 3 ¾”, 6 ¾” & 8 ¼”
    • DSP 2 pieces at 4” X 4”, the center Cherry square is 3". Vanilla 2 ½” X 4”

    Below you can see the gold tree & dotted die-cut snowflakes & garland from the Twinkling Lights dies here.  Again, the greetings are all from the Brightest Glow stamp set seen here. 

    The greeting die-cut for the 'joy' is from the Potted Succulents dies; a few loops of gold cord are added underneath it.  

     

    Which one do you prefer; the card with some Evergreen or the one all Cherry Cobbler?

  • Look what you can do with the Charming Landscapes embossing folders


    I shared a fun way to use the Charming Landscapes embossing folders in this week's FB Live video.  Look! 

    After I textured White card stock with the folders I trimmed the excess off and adhered it over a piece of Lights Aglow designer paper and then onto my White card base.  So simple with just a little bit of fussy cutting.  See the Charming Landscapes embossing duo here. 

    The greeting is from the Brightest Glow stamp set, heat embossed with Gold embossing powder.  A few loops of gold cording is added to the back.  

    Here's another version; a bit more fussy cutting on this one though! 

    This one did take more time to trim….  I added light So Saffron Blends marker and Wink of Stella to the little village houses.

    What do you think?  I love the elegance of the Black, White & Gold colors.  

     

    Below is the video where I show these cards and a special fun fold card too.  All made with the beautiful Lights Aglow specialty designer paper seen here.  

     

    There are still a few spots left in my Lights Aglow Christmas card kit to go.  Click here to see it.  Or get the PDF tutorial here.
