Paper Pumpkin has been around for seven years now and it just keeps getting better! If you aren’t familiar with Paper Pumpkin, it’s a monthly subscription papercrafting kit from Stampin’ Up! Once you sign up by the 10th of any month, that month’s kit will be mailed to you by mid-month and you will receive a fun craft kit all ready for you to sit down and have some creative fun! And this March kit has a FREE extra stamp set to celebrate its 7th birthday!

And look at the ad above! Do you see the Paper Pumpkin box off to the right with the raincoat and boots?? That’s the BOX! So cute!!

During Sale-A-Bration, you can add a Paper Pumpkin PREPAID subscription to your regular Stampin’ Up! order and perhaps earn a FREE Sale-A-Bration product or even reach Hostess Rewards. Stampin’ Up! will send you an email with a code to use when you set up your Paper Pumpkin account and you will be set. Even if you already subscribe monthly, you can buy a Prepaid subscription on your order, put the code into your account, and your monthly subscription will resume after your Prepaid subscription is used up!

Paper Pumpkin is for everyone, from experienced stampers and crafters to newbies with no supplies! With your first kit, you receive a special Paper Pumpkin acrylic block on which to mount your stamps, and then the kit contains all the materials you need for the project, even including adhesives! You get a stamp set, ink spot, instructions, materials, and even a link to a video to watch online. Anyone can make these kits!

Experienced stampers enjoy getting a kit all ready to go and sometimes even like making alternative projects with some of their own stamping supplies. Whatever you like to do!

Most of the Kits are cards, but can be other projects like a mini-album, home decor piece, holiday favors, tags, bags, calendar, garland….who knows?! Last fall Stampin’ Up! even gave us ideas for turning the BOX into a haunted house! I look at Paper Pumpkin as a fun gift I give myself that I look forward to every month!

Paper Pumpkin kit projects used to be top secret but I think they have found people like at least a little clue to what the kit will be. And to celebrate seven years of Paper Pumpkin, THIS kit comes with an EXTRA FREE STAMP SET!

Here is the information about this March 2020 Kit:

Kit contains supplies for 12 cards and envelopes (4 cards of 3 designs)
Notecard size: 5″ x 3-1/2″
Envelope size: 5-1/8″ x 3-5/8″

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″ x 6″ size, which is larger than most Paper Pumpkin sets and is designed for use on a variety of crafting projects.

Supplies may be limited toward the end of each subscription period.

Paper Pumpkin January 2020 Valentine Treat Envelopes

Paper Pumpkin January 2020 Valentine Treat Holders
Images © Stampin’ Up! 2020

Yesterday when I unexpectedly got an appointment I wanted for that very afternoon, I remembered I hadn’t made the Valentine treat packages in my January 2020 Paper Pumpkin Kit. Since this office group enjoys my occasional holiday treats, I hurried and made up the kit! With 20 treat bags and even 10 mini cards and envelopes, I had plenty for everyone.

The envelopes came already printed with a design in the bottom corner, front and back, so that was done. I just had to make the tags to tie on to the envelope flap and stamp and decorate the front of the mini cards. The greetings were easy to stamp, and the hearts, bees and tags were all die cuts in the kit. It was fun putting on the sequins. Everything is included in these Paper Pumpkin kits!

We are past the time for ordering this kit. However, if you are or become a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, you could order the Refill for this kit in the Stampin’ Up! Online Store. You wouldn’t get the stamp set or ink spot, but you would get all the materials and you would have to substitute some other stamps for the greetings.

Better yet, sign up for the March 2020 Paper Pumpkin Kit by at least March 10th, if not sooner. It’s going to be a cute one! I can tell from the ad and the box! Yes, that is the actual box on the right side of this ad! I just love the colors!

If you are putting in a Stampin’ Up! order, you can add a Prepaid Subscription and possibly earn a FREE Sale-A-Bration product. Otherwise, you can just sign up for the monthly subscription. If you are already a subscriber and want to get the benefits of a Prepaid subscription, just purchase the Prepaid and add the code that they send you to your account. Paper Pumpkin will keep track of things and send out the kits you prepaid for and then resume your monthly subscription. It really does work out fine! I’ve done it!

Give yourself the gift of Paper Pumpkin! Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, so there’s your reason!! Not that you need a reason, but I believe in “self-care” (and self-presents on holidays! LOL!).

No risk, no obligation! Get one kit and stop….pause your subscription for a month or two if life gets too busy…or cancel at any time. Just make changes before the 10th of any month in your account. Try Paper Pumpkin!

Making Paper Pumpkin Christmas Tags After Christmas!

Paper Pumpkin November 2019 Christmas Tags

It’s okay to make Paper Pumpkin Christmas Tags AFTER Christmas! These are from the November 2019 Paper Pumpkin Kit and I just didn’t get to them before Christmas.

These are cute Christmas tags, which I could have used during gift-wrapping time! At least I’ll have a head start for next Christmas! These turned out so cute when I got them all put together. There were six of each of four designs of tags in the kit. Some people made cards out of the elements in the kit. Once you get the kit, you can do whatever you like with the supplies!

There are always projects I didn’t get to do before Christmas and when things calm down after Christmas it seems like a good time to go ahead and work on them! In some cases, I might even have “late” Christmas gifts that I put off because I won’t see the people until after the holidays anyway! Yes, I have two friends who usually don’t have time for our gift exchange until after the holidays (or even WAY after the holidays!) but we don’t care. It’s all about the getting together, not the timing! So whatever the reason, perhaps you also do Christmas projects after the holidays!

If you would like to get a head-start on a Paper Pumpkin subscription, today is the first day to subscribe for the February 2020 Paper Pumpkin Kit! The first hints are that it is about birthday cards! And we all like to stock up on birthday cards at the beginning of the year! You can even purchase a Prepaid Paper Pumpkin Subscription in the Online Store along with your regular order, perhaps boosting your order to get more FREE Sale-A-Bration items or bump you up to Hostess Rewards. Or just join by the month.

Are you still playing with Christmas projects you didn’t have time to do earlier? Or even getting a head start on Christmas cards for next year? It’s okay and from experience, I can tell you it’s a good idea to make Christmas tags any time of year!

One of the products that I think will be the most popular is the Painted Poppies Stamp Set. I made this easy card with just some basic stamping and coloring by stamping the group of poppies twice and then quickly coloring in the flowers and grass with the Stampin’ Blends markers. I didn’t color “carefully”, I just dabbed some Light Poppy Parade marker on all the flowers and then went back and dabbed on a little bit of Dark Poppy Parade. I used Granny Apple Green Blends on the stems and drew in some grass.

The greeting on this card is from the Sending Thoughts Stamp Set, FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration! You will find it under the Sale-A-Bration category in the Online Store and in the SAB brochure. I simply stamped it in Memento Black Ink right on the card front to keep things simple! Sometimes we forget “simple”! The card base is Poppy Parade with a bit of Granny Apple Green Cardstock showing under the stamped image.

Even if you don’t need gift tags, make them as tags and then add one to the front of a cardstock card base and make a card! Maybe you need more cards than tags! You can do this with any tag. Just use it as the focal point on your card front! Add a greeting on the tag or on the card front.

Don’t run out to the store and buy the cheap tags at the dollar stores to stick on presents! Make your own with this Paper Pumpkin Kit! Remember, presentation is everything! Making a plate of cookies or treats for a neighbor or holiday party? Place a tag on the top over the plastic wrap or lid. Hang it on a wine bottle you are taking as a hostess gift!

Everything you need for the project comes in the kit! If you are a new subscriber, you will also get a clear acrylic block on which to mount your stamps. That’s why these Paper Pumpkin Kits are so good for new stampers and crafters or those who do not have many supplies….or don’t WANT many supplies!

In each Paper Pumpkin Kit you will receive an exclusive stamp set, an ink spot (1″ x 1″) (great to use on the Stamparatus to ink up stamps!), and a package of materials to make the project! And the presentation is everything of course! You will love receiving this gift to yourself!

Treat yourself to a present in the mail once a month! And if some months you are too busy or traveling or don’t care for that upcoming kit, just skip a month! If Paper Pumpkin really is not for you, there is no obligation to continue. Simply go into your account and cancel or ask me to take care of it for you.

In fact, if you want to add a Paper Pumpkin subscription to your Stampin’ Up! order (maybe to reach Hostess Rewards??), just choose which length of time is good for you and add it to your order.

Paper Pumpkin Oct 2019 Christmas Card

Leave a reply
Paper Pumpkin Oct 2019 Christmas Card

I hate to tell you that you can’t get this Paper Pumpkin Kit any more because it makes a beautiful Christmas card. I just made this one card exactly like the kit directions but I wanted to try out some other alternate ideas that I will find online or maybe think of myself! The Paper Pumpkin holiday season kits are always extra special!

This photo really doesn’t do this card justice. The evergreen trees you see are on the base card front. Then the snowflakes at the top of that part of the card are stamped with the Night of Navy ink from the snowflake stamp included in the Paper Pumpkin Kit.

Next, the white trees are punched out of the die-cut. They are on white glimmery paper to look like snow. This piece includes the snow base for the bottom with a tree on each side. This piece is adhered using Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop it up. This gives a 3D effect to the front of the card. It is a little tedious to stick on the little dimensionals, some cut in half for the tree branches.

The cute little redbirds are die cuts so all I had to do was punch them out and stick them on with glue dots (included in the kit) onto the tree branches! They really “pop” on this card!

For a little more bling, there are snowflake sequins included to stick on the card background with the mini glue dots. If you have the Take Your Pick Tool it would be handy for picking up the tiny snowflake sequins, but if not, use your Paper Snips.

The greeting is included in the stamp set of the kit and is stamped on the die-cut banner piece. This is popped up and layered on the woodgrain die-cut piece and that is all adhered to the bottom front of the card.

Inside I will stamp another greeting and the card will be ready to go. It also came with silver foil trimmed envelopes! That makes it all look luxurious!

In spite of the fact that no extra kits are available after the October Kits were sent out (that’s how popular it was!), it might give you a glimpse into the November Paper Pumpkin Kit. That kit “coordinates” with this October Kit. I don’t know what that means, exactly, but I’m sure it will be a good kit.

Kit details: Makes 24 holiday-themed gift tags of 4 various sizes and designs.

Coordinating colors: Early Espresso, Pool Party, Poppy Parade, and Shaded Spruce

The October and November kits coordinate; however, each kit is all-inclusive and can stand alone.

  • Supplies may be limited toward the end of each subscription period so don’t delay!

So if you find it enticing to get a cute winter-themed box in your mail in just over a week with a fun project inside making gift tags (if for some reason you don’t need handmade gift tags to make your gifts extra special, just put them on the front of a card instead!). Get an extra kit and have fun stamping with a friend! The deadline to sign up is November 10! Don’t delay!

Need Christmas Tags For Gifts? Make Them With Paper Pumpkin!

Paper Pumpkin Nov 2019 Ad my info

If you would like to do at least “a little” crafting for the holidays, the Paper Pumpkin Kit for November is your answer! Maybe you are new to crafting and stamping or maybe you only like to stamp and make things occasionally. Paper Pumpkin is for you! And for those of us who have oodles of stamps, paper, and craft supplies Paper Pumpkin is fun to have an already designed project with all supplies included that we can just sit down and make!

This November Paper Pumpkin Kit from Stampin’ Up! makes 24 holiday-themed gift tags of 4 various sizes and designs. The coordinating colors are Early Espresso, Pool Party, Poppy Parade, and Shaded Spruce.

JOIN PAPER PUMPKIN TODAY TO GET YOUR NOVEMBER KIT!

I would hazard a guess that even if you didn’t want or need that many tags, you could make cards with the tag on the front as the focal point. Every month creative people make alternate projects with the supplies in the kit and post them on the internet so you will be able to find other ideas if that is what you want. Sometimes I do a little of both…..make the project as designed and also save some pieces to make other cards or projects.

Our family likes to have LOTS of packages under the tree and I have often found myself running out to the store to buy more tags, especially after the kids arrive and want to wrap their gifts. These are usually cheap tags to slap on in a hurry on the gift. Wouldn’t a handmade, pretty tag look a lot better on your gift?

Everything you need for the project comes in the kit! If you are a new subscriber, you will also get a clear acrylic block on which to mount your stamps. That’s why these Paper Pumpkin Kits are so good for new stampers and crafters or those who do not have many supplies….or don’t WANT many supplies!

In each Paper Pumpkin Kit you will receive an exclusive stamp set, an ink spot (1″ x 1″) (great to use on the Stamparatus to ink up stamps!), and a package of materials to make the project! And the presentation is everything of course!

Treat yourself to a present in the mail once a month! And if some months you are too busy or traveling or don’t care for that upcoming kit, just skip a month! If Paper Pumpkin really is not for you, there is no obligation to continue. Simply go into your account and cancel or ask me to take care of it for you.

Now if you missed the coordinating October Kit that had to be signed up for by Oct. 10th, if you subscribe NOW to Paper Pumpkin, there is a chance in a few days that Stampin’ Up! will have extra kits that they will put in the Online Store, only available to Paper Pumpkin subscribers. You can order whatever is in the Paper Pumpkin Past Kits category with your regular Stampin’ Up! order.

In fact, if you want to add a Paper Pumpkin subscription to your Stampin’ Up! order (maybe to reach Hostess Rewards??), just choose which length of time is good for you and add it to your order. Stampin’ Up! will send you an email with directions on how to set up your Paper Pumpkin account and put in the special code showing that you ordered a series of kits in the Online Store. Even if you already have a monthly subscription to Paper Pumpkin, you can purchase a Paper Pumpkin subscription in the Online Store and your account will use those first and then go back to your monthly subscription. Just ask if you have any questions.

The deadline for signing up for the November kit with materials for making holiday tags is November 10, 2019. Supplies may be limited near the end of the subscription period. You may think you will remember, but it’s easier to just do it today and then look forward to mid-November when those kits go out!
