See a little hint in the banner above about the upcoming February Paper Pumpkin Kit? Usually Stampin’ Up! keeps the kit a complete surprise, but this time they have been giving us lots of behind-the-scenes glimpses of how the artists plan a kit.  I think it has been fun and I’m excited to get my kit as soon as it comes out (and the post office feels like delivering it!).

Here are a few more photos of how the Stampin’ Up! artists worked on their concept for the kit!

If you are thinking maybe they are sending us all succulents…..probably not!!  Although my daughter sent me one last year for my birthday or Mother’s Day, so I am already trendy! Succulents are trendy so be sure you are “hip” and subscribe to Paper Pumpkin today!

So what are they doing with all this dirt and succulents?? Taking photographs from all angles to get the best look from each succulent!

Then they will take the photographs and use them to design papers to use in the kit!

If you want to know if the Paper Pumpkin kit is cards or some other project, just ask me! Usually, we don’t know and I don’t want to spoil the surprise for anyone.  Funny how some people don’t like surprises and really want to know each month what the kit is going to be and other people love the surprise of opening the box and seeing what is inside!  Either way, even if you know, I think it is still a fun surprise to receive the Paper Pumpkin red box in your mailbox and then open it and actually see the contents!  Everything is included, even adhesives, plus an exclusive stamp set and ink spot. If you don’t like the project, use the materials to make something else.  There are always alternative ideas posted online after people have a chance to work on their kit.

Try Paper Pumpkin and see how you like it! If it is not for you, you are not obligated to continue for any certain time.  Just cancel by the 10th of the month.  Too busy or traveling?  Just skip a month in your account…again, by the 10th of the month. Really dissatisfied with your kit?  Give Stampin’ Up! a call and talk to them about it as they guarantee all Paper Pumpkin Kits.

I consider Paper Pumpkin a treat for myself each month!  I deserve it and so do you! It’s an easy way to stop the world and do some crafting without finding an idea, getting out your supplies and spending time getting it just right.  Just open the Paper Pumpkin Kit box at your kitchen or craft table and it’s all right there waiting for you!  So fun to see all the extra little supplies or embellishments they put in the kit!

You only have until Sunday, February 10th to sign up for Paper Pumpkin to be assured of getting this kit!  Do it right now while you are thinking about it!  I know I don’t always read my “To-do” list after I make it so don’t let time get away from you!

Each kit contains all the supplies you need for the project right there in the box!  With your first kit, if you are a new subscriber, you will receive a special acrylic block on which to mount the stamps, so you will have everything you need even if you are not a big stamper or crafter.  The kit comes to you in the mail once a month, but you can skip a month any time or cancel if you must.  Each kit is guaranteed by Stampin’ Up!

Are you often so busy that you don’t have time for making cards to keep on hand or making cute treats for a holiday or party favor?  Paper Pumpkin can help you with that problem with the easy-to-make, all-ready-to-go papercrafting kits.  Not to mention it’s a treat for YOU to open your mailbox and find your Paper Pumpkin Kit has been delivered! Something for you or maybe something for you to make with your child or grandchild or friend.

Every kit comes with an exclusive stamp set you can use forever, as well as an ink spot for stamping.  These ink spots are great to use with the Stamparatus and certain stamping techniques so save them! A clear block comes with your first kit as well. And of course, all the materials you need for the project! There is always a video for you to watch to go along with the directions included in the kit.

This January Kit is called “Be Mine, Valentine” and makes 24 Valentine treat packages! I haven’t seen the kit, of course, but if you don’t need treats, I bet you will think of other ideas to do with the materials.  And if you don’t think of them, soon after kits arrive in subscribers’ homes, alternate ideas for using the kit will appear on the internet to give you more ideas! Sometimes I make half my kit as designed and half using alternate ideas!

This particular kit coordinates with the Animal Expedition Suite in the Annual Stampin’ Up! Catalog on pages 26-27. This doesn’t mean you have to own the suite to use the kit……it just gives you more opportunities for creativity with Stampin’ Up! products.

To get this kit mid-January, you MUST subscribe by Thursday, January 10th. You have today and tomorrow!  Don’t miss out!  Join Paper Pumpkin today to get the fun Be Mine, Valentine Kit that coordinates with the cute Animal Expedition Suite in the annual catalog!
