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!

  • Thoughtful Blooms with the Small Bloom punch


    Here are a few more swap cards made by my Flowerbug's Team this month. I just love seeing what my gals create for our swaps!

    The Thoughtful Blooms stamp set coordinates with the Small Blooms punch.  See them here and here: 

    Jacki made this beautiful card.  I love the many layers and details here. And the colors are fresh and unique – Soft Suede, Mint Macaron, Bermuda Bay and White.  She used the new Label Me Fancy punch, the Starburst punch, Leaf punch and the Painted Label dies for the swirl.  The greeting is from the Peaceful Moments set. That gorgeous texture is from the Parisian Flourish embossing folder seen here. 

    Candace made this unique card below: 

    Her colors are Gorgeous Grape, Balmy Blue and Granny Apple Green.  Isn't this layout fun?!  the technique is called Triple Stamping.  You place your White layers in position as shown without the Grape layers in between and stamp on the three pieces all at once.  Then add the Grape layers and adhere to your main card.  Super easy and fun too. 

    She added a pretty greeting in Purple Posy with the Stitched So Sweetly dies (my favorite!) and the punched flowers from the Small Bloom punch. 

    Measurements:

    • Grape – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", 4 1/4" X 3 1/4" and 3 1/4" X 2 1/4"
    • White – 4" X 5 1/4", 4" X 3" and 3" X 2"

  • Lovely Lily Pad with Lily Pad dies to match!


    Waterlilies are so trendy now and these reversible Lovely Lily Pad stamps in the 2020 Sale-a-Bration catalog are beautiful! 

    I'm sharing more of my Team swaps from our meeting earlier this month.  Many of my team choose to join in our monthly swaps.  Our swaps are optional and work like this: design one card and make one for everyone in the swap. If there are 12 people in the swap you make 12 of the same cards.  Then send or bring them to me and I sort them out and return them to everyone participating.  It's so fun to get all different cards back when you only had to create one!

    First is Mary's pretty card: 

    She used the Stitched Rectangle dies on three of her layers here!  Her colors are Bermuda Bay, Grapefruit Grove and Old Olive.  A little bit of Rococo Rose and Coastal Cabana too.  The Lily Impressions designer paper has tons of pretty colors in it.  

    Roxann made this next card. She also used a Bermuda Bay card base but focused on Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green as her colors. 

    It truly looks like water is reflecting the flowers on this pretty Lily Impressions designer paper.  This paper is a free choice with any $50 order right now. See them here. 

    Her greeting is from the Sending you Thoughts set; also a free choice during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. 

    Bobby created this pretty card below.   It also reminds me of a water garden with lilies in it.

    Her colors are Pretty Peacock, Pool Party and Grapefruit Grove.  Isn't that border die beautiful?  I also like that peek of a vellum lily behind the largest lily.  I have a bunch of talented ladies on my Team!  

    If you've considered joining Stampin' Up! as a Demonstrator I'd love to have you in my Flowerbug's group.  Read about that opportunity here.

  • Happy Birthday to You SAB set swaps


    Two more pretty card swaps from my Flowerbug's Team today.  These two cards are similar in layout but still so different.

    This Happy Birthday to You stamp set (seen here) is free with any $50 order during Sale-a-Bration.  And now there is a set of dies to match!  Click on the photo below to see those. My customers love it when there are dies to match; no fussy cutting!

     

    First is Deloris's card in Balmy Blue and Daffodil Delight.  

    She used the Stitched So Sweetly dies for her White layer and the greeting.  The cake and the flowers are cut out with the Birthday Dies seen above.  She colored the images with Blends markers.  The texture is from the Parisian Flourish embossing folder. 

    Next is Karen's card; she used Pacific Point with Daffodil Delight and Silver foil  

    Her stamped cake and the Silver cake stand are cut out with the Birthday dies.  She textured her Pacific Point layer with the Coastal Weave embossing folder. 

    Like I said; these two cards are similar but not! 

    This pretty stamp set fits just about any celebration that involves cake; which in our family is just about everything!
