Honestly, when I saw the greetings with this April Paper Pumpkin monthly subscription kit from Stampin' Up!, I wasn't too enthused. Not my style.  BUT when I made the cards, I loved the cards themselves and had fun making them! I think the first one on the bottom row on the left is the example for the kit….the other three I just did other things with…and even had a few pieces from the kit leftover! The background layer is glued down but the other pieces are self-adhesive pieces (and you can move them around and restick!)

Paper Pumpkin isn't for everyone….if you like elaborate papercrafting with lots of layers and embellishments, this is not meant for you. If you have tons of supplies to use, you probably don't need to order a simple kit.

But if you're looking for a quick little treat for yourself each month, want to dip your toes in papercrafting and card making, if you don't have the right supplies to actually make a decent card or project, if you've never even made a card before….then the monthly subscription program from Stampin' Up! called Paper Pumpkin just might be for you! You can sign up with no obligation to continue for any certain length of time…you can pause for a month or two if you want and then continue on.

You can start with a kit for a few months to get the hang of it, then just launch into your own stamping and projects choosing your own supplies from Stampin' Up! It won't always be cards.  Each month is a surprise!

And it doesn't have to be for YOU….maybe you have a daughter, niece, friend, granddaughter, sister who might enjoy a surprise kit in the mail every month! Especially when it is from Stampin' Up!…and you!

Check out Paper Pumpkin from Stampin' Up!

and see what you think!

If you've heard about Paper Pumpkin from Stampin' Up!, you know it's a monthly subscription papercrafting kit you receive in your mailbox! A kit will arrive every month…you can continue as long as you like…pause it when you need to…or cancel if you must. In order to get in on the mailing of the kit on the 15th of the month, you need to sign up for it by the 10th of the month….and that's tomorrow!! So if you want an easy and quick project to show up in a very cute box, just like a present, you need to subscribe by tomorrow, April 10th, by midnight!

Check it out and if you like it, just sign up! When it asks for your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, please put in my name:  Karen Fontinelle

Today is March 10th and today is the day you want to sign up for Paper Pumpkin IF you want your first kit to be mailed to you around March 15th! To sign up for Paper Pumpkin, go here to the sign-up page. Now, today is NOT the final day to sign up for the Stampin' Up! monthly subscription kit Paper Pumpkin….you can sign up ANY day….it's just that the 10th of the month (any month) is the deadline to start receiving the kit in that month, kits to be shipped around the 15th. So if you sign up tomorrow or the next day, March 11 or 12 or 20th, your first kit will ship around April 15th.  Then April 10th will be the deadline by which to get your kit shipped on April 15th. You only need to sign up once, not every month, and you can skip a month or two, or cancel it altogether.

Now, Paper Pumpkin is for you if you love getting a surprise kit in the mail every month, if you want a quick and easy project you can sit down and do in about 30 minutes, if you are a new stamper or crafter, if you don't have a lot of materials yet (or you don't WANT a lot of materials!). If you love elaborate projects, if you love placing your own Stampin' Up! order with everything you want, if you love coming to a class and having the ideas and techniques shown to you in person, this might not be for you…and that's okay.

With your first kit, you will get a project plus a free clear block to use with your next kits. Everyone will get this same kit regardless of what month you join.  You will need to provide your own adhesives in the projects, so if you don't have something suitable, I can order those for you from Stampin' Up!  But to get started, you can use what you have and see if you need something different.  All other materials and instructions are provided in the kit.

There WILL be a Try-It Kit if you ever just want to get that and see what it's like before you subscribe.  But it is NOT available yet….will be soon!  I'll let you know!

I might also add that Paper Pumpkin has it's own ordering system, you will not access it from the usual ordering at my Online Store. The sign up is easy, please choose ME as your demonstrator when it asks, and you'll be asked for a name and password.  If you have any trouble (honestly there have been glitches with the website) let me know and I'll try to help or sign you up myself.

So go right now to the My Paper Pumpkin page (the trick to remember to find the web page is to always type in "My" in front of Paper Pumpkin…or you'll go to the wrong place!).  The link is https://mypaperpumpkin.com/en/

If you have any problem signing up or want me to sign you up with your information, please contact me today at Karen@KarenStamps.com or call at 713-306-1191.

So what is Paper Pumpkin about??

I’m Paper Pumpkin . . .

I come to your door each month (a fully decked-out creativity carriage). I’ll help you to escape your life with some paper fun.

I come in a sweet box, but you’ll really love what you find on the inside:

All the stamps, ink, paper, and accessories to create pinable projects. Create stuff like cards, journals, décor, and more!

Paper Pumpkin by Stampin’ Up! is a new monthly kit program that anyone can enjoy! 

Get Started

It’s so easy to get started. Simply sign up for the program starting Monday, January 14 by visiting www.mypaperpumpkin.com and click Get it. Every month a new, surprise project kit arrives at your doorstep. Just think of the anticipation of creating a fun project to pin, showoff, and share with your friends and family-every month!

Of course, you’ll want to know more. So here’s the nitty gritty:

• Each month we send you a unique, surprise kit with a project-cards, journals, décor, and more! (We’ve even color-coordinated, measured, and cut everything for you!)
• Each kit includes stamps, ink, paper, and accessories-everything but adhesive.
• Each kit gives you and your customer a 30-minute creativity escape.
• We will ship your Paper Pumpkin on or around the 15th of the month.
• You need to sign up for a kit by the 10th of the month to get that month’s kit. If you sign up on the 11th of the month, your first kit will come the next month. (Let’s say you sign up on May 10th, we’ll send your kit around May 15th. If you sign up on May 11th, we’ll send your first kit around June 15th.)
• A Paper Pumpkin membership is $19.95 per month (and shipping is included!)
• There’s no commitment, you can cancel your monthly Paper Pumpkin at anytime. You can also skip a month if you want.
• Starting in early March, we’ll offer a Try-It kit if you’d like to try Paper Pumpkin for one month. 

Here’s How You Order

Sign up for your monthly Paper Pumpkin starting Monday, January 14 by visiting www.mypaperpumpkin.com and click Get it.

Starting in early March, you can try Paper Pumpkin for one month in my Online Store.

A Free Gift in Your Very First Kit

The Welcome Kit is the very first Paper Pumpkin you will receive in your first month of membership. The Welcome Kit includes a free gift-a clear acrylic block!

If you have any questions, please email me at Karen@KarenStamps.com. I’m sure we will all need things clarified as this program gets started, but it sounds fun to me!

This program is different than just ordering at my Online Store with your regular orders. To sign up for Paper Pumpkin, you must go to this link, www.mypaperpumpkin.com. That is where the monthly subscriptions will be handled.

I just signed up myself so I can tell you it is easy!  Just have your credit card ready! You won’t be charged until your order ships, though. It asked if I was a demonstrator…of course I had to say “yes” but you will click “no” and probably then it will ask if you want to select a demonstrator.  If you don’t have a demonstrator of your own, I’d love it if you chose me!

Let me know how it goes!

The Stampin’ Up! Leadership Conference continues today in Orlando!  What will the new announcements be?! I’m keeping track every chance I get even though I am not there!

Yesterday one of the big announcements was a new kit from Stampin’ Up! called Paper Pumpkin that you can subscribe to and receive in your mailbox every month! Be surprised to see what you are going to make when the box arrives! Every thing you need is included except adhesive. You can check it out and subscribe at Paper Pumpkin here.

Another fun announcement yesterday was a kit for men!!  It’s called “Dude, You’re Welcome!”

A big announcement out of the Stampin’ Up! Leadership Conference in Orlando this morning!  Stampin’ Up! is starting a new monthly kit program for you! Once you sign up for the program, every month you will receive in the mail a cute red box with a project inside. All the materials you need….stamps, ink, paper, and accessories…will be inside, except for adhesive, all measured and cut for you. Projects might include cards, journals, decor, and more!

Once you sign up, a new kit will be shipped to you every month around the 15th. However, you can cancel at any time or skip a month. The price will be $19.95 a month which includes shipping.

You can find out more about the Paper Pumpkin Kit here at www.MyPaperPumpkin.com. ( I just had to edit this link to get the correct one!  Sorry)

Remember, this news is “hot off the press” this morning out of Leadership so I’m sure we will find out more about it in the near future! Let me know if you have any questions and I’ll find out the answer. They promise projects you will want to pin on Pinterest!
