It's the 7th anniversary of Paper Pumpkin and they're celebrating by adding an extra stamp set in this month's crafty box.  The March 2020 kit will arrive in an exclusive, specially-designed box that you and your subscribers will love! Think daffodils, raindrops, and a fresh spring vibe.

To get this month's cards kit be sure to subscribe here by March 10th or purchase a pre-paid subscription below.  I always get a pre-paid subscription in March so I can take advantage of Sale-a-Bration.  You can see those here.

Here's how that works:

  • a 3 month pre-paid subscription earns me 1 free Sale-a-Bration choice
  • a 6 month pre-paid subscription earns me 2 free choices!
  • 1 12 month pre-paid subscription earns me 4 free choices!!! 

About the March Kit

  • Kit contains supplies for 12 cards and envelopes (4 cards of 3 designs)
  • Note card size: 5" x 3-1/2" (12.7 x 8.9 cm)
  • Envelope size: 5-1/8" x 3-5/8" (13 x 9.2 cm)

Coordinating Colors: Balmy Blue, Basic Gray, Calypso Coral, Grapefruit Grove, Gray Granite, Pear Pizzazz, Petal Pink, Shaded Spruce, and So Saffron

About the FREE Stamp Set

  • The additional stamp set is a great value and coordinates with the March kit design; however, you do not need it to complete the March cards.
  • The additional stamp set is a 4×6 footprint, which is larger than most Paper Pumpkin sets and is designed for use on a variety of crafting projects.

Be sure to purchase this by March 10th to get this month's free kit!

  • The easy way to do the Whitewashing Technique; with video


    I've been playing with the Whitewashing Technique lately. Today I'm sharing a card I made on Facebook Live with the Honeybee Home bundle. 

    You can see another group of cards I used this technique on here. 

    Please watch the video to see how to do this.  Here are some tips:

    • I stamped the main image using Gorgeous Grape ink onto the same color card stock.
    • Let it dry a bit and color the image in with White Craft ink and a water painter brush.
    • If you want to see the stamped image you'll want to use a light amount of White Craft ink. 
    • I add water to some White Craft ink in a puddle and use that to 'paint'.  
    • You can paint with strokes to indicate lines on your image. 

    I used the Heart & Home doilies under the Tasteful Label die-cut.  

    The background paper is the Simply Marbelous Sale-a-Bration DSP that I added a bit of Highland Heather ink to. 

    Here's the video!  Click on the picture below to watch it. The Whitewashing Technique is the 2nd project I share.

  • How I made this neat Pop-up Gift Bag Fun Fold card


    We made this fantastic Pop-up Gift Bag fun fold card at my January card clubs. It's such a unique and special way to add a gift card or a little something extra inside a card! 

    I used the Friendly Hello bundle from our 2022 Sale-a-Bration brochure. See it here. It's free with any $100 purchase from my online Stampin' Up! store.  

    Isn't it extraordinary!?  Everyone loved their finished card and most were surprised at how easy it was. Here's a close-up of the inside.

    Below is the template with measurements.  Your best bet is to watch the video below to see how to assemble it and adhere it inside a card.  

    I did turn this card into a fun fold as well with a belly band but you sure wouldn't have to.  It could be placed in the fold of any card you make! 

    The Friendly Hello bundle includes both a full photopolymer stamp set and a package of beautiful 12 X 12" pack of designer paper!  

    The colors include Fresh Freesia, Granny Apply Green Pool Party, Shaded Spruce, Black & Petal Pink.  I chose to focus on the Fresh Freesia & Granny Apple Green for this card. 

    Here are the measurements for the card: 

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 2" & 7 1/2"
      White 4" X 4 3/4" & 2 3/4" X 4" plus scrap for Hippo & Friends die-cut
      Pale Papaya scrap for Hippo & Friends die-cut
      Granny Apple Green 3/4" X 10" scored at 3 1/2" & 7 7/8"
      Friendly Hello DSP for bag – 4 X 9 1/2" scored on the 4" side at 1/2" & 3", and on the long side at 1/2", 4 1/2", 5", 5 1/2" & 9" & DSP for front 3 1/4" X 4" & 1 3/4" X 4"
    • the leaves & buds are punched with the Bough punch seen here

    You can see what the card looks like closed in the picture above; on the left.

  • Who knew?!


    If someone had told me I'd be doing 8 videos a month 10 years ago I would have scoffed! 

    One of my best friends encouraged me to do videos years ago and I told here I would never, ever do videos.  She loved to remind me about that! *Sadly she passed away a few months ago.

    I've been watching my YouTube subscribers grow and grow and cannot believe that I now have over 15,000 people following me!  Incredible! 

    I get so many lovely comments from my followers; it truly means a lot that you are all enjoying and getting inspired by them.  

    Thank you, THANK YOU!!  You are why I LOVE what I do! 

    If you're not following me on YouTube yet, here's the link.
