Paper Pumpkin Treats and Wheelbarrow

Paper Pumpkin Treats and Wheelbarrow

After I got my September Paper Pumpkin Kit, I made all the cute little pumpkin treat boxes, but today I made the wheelbarrow! Isn’t it cute?! Stampin’ Up! has continued to up their game with the Paper Pumpkin monthly subscription kits! Not only do the kits get cuter and cuter, but they often have found special ways to use the box…like cutting it up to make this wheelbarrow!! AND the pattern was already printed inside the box so I only had to cut out the pieces and follow the directions and a video on how to put it together!

This Haunts & Harvest Paper Pumpkin Kit was really a fun one. It was designed to make a dozen treat boxes like you see in my wheelbarrow. However, as I always say, you can do whatever you want with the contents of the kit, and every month other stampers come up with the most creative ideas for alternate projects. Someone made Sesame Street characters out of these pumpkin treat boxes! And some people cut up at least some of the pumpkin boxes, separated all the rounded panels that make one pumpkin, and then adhered a few together on a card to make a flat, large pumpkin. Alternative ideas on the Paper Pumpkin instructions even showed how to make a turkey and a Frankenstein! So in any month almost, if you have no need for treat boxes, you can likely change things up and make cards out of them. If you have a card kit but don’t like the design or don’t need more cards, just check out some alternative ideas or come up with something on your own. Maybe you can make treat boxes out of the card supplies! Or some other fun project! The only limit is your imagination!

If you subscribed and received this kit, remember that you can make the box into a wheelbarrow. Here is a video you can watch:

Some of the Paper Pumpkin Kit boxes have had the suggestion to reuse to hold your special treasures or to fill with some treats and goodies and give or send to someone who could use a surprise gift to let them know someone was thinking of them.

I have to say my favorite way to re-use a box was to make a haunted house two years ago! Now for this, you actually needed two kits and I think a customer made up the pattern that we all copied. It was definitely easier to make this wheelbarrow with the pieces already outlined and numbered inside the box!

So cute! Especially for a Halloween-lover like me! Oh, did you notice the Stampin’ Up! logo on the side of my wheelbarrow?! As I was cutting out pieces, I happened to see the Stampin’ Up! logo that was on the box somewhere that I was cutting up. Luckily I didn’t cut into the logo so I thought I should adhere it to the side of my wheelbarrow!

Paper Pumpkin Sept 2021

If you are new, this is how Stampin’ Up! describes Paper Pumpkin! Think about trying it, especially this month if you like fall!

What is Paper Pumpkin? Paper Pumpkin is our monthly One-Stop Box™ that offers a unique variety of paper projects for subscribers of any skill level to enjoy! These thoughtfully themed and all-inclusive craft kits encourage Stampin’ Up! customers to explore their creativity, try new techniques, and discover their potential in papercrafting.”

This kit features three different designs for every treat box. That means whether you want to celebrate the Fall harvest or feel like getting in the Halloween mood (or a mix of both!), you can choose how you want to create your adorable treat boxes! Take your pick from crisp red apples, seasonal pumpkins, spooky jack-o-lanterns, or get creative and customize them into whatever you can imagine! 

The Haunts & Harvest Paper Pumpkin Kit contains enough supplies to create 12 treat packages which means you get to share the a-maize-ing treats with your friends and family! These treat package designs are perfect for Halloween party favors or place setting favors at a fall feast. These treat packages are the perfect way to tell your family and friends to eat, drink, and be scary!

The Haunts & Harvest Paper Pumpkin Kit not only offers the cutest giftable treat packages, it is also intended as home décor with the included wheelbarrow crafting opportunity! This month’s Paper Pumpkin box is designed with pre-traced lines and instructions to create a vintage-inspired wheelbarrow as a place to display your too-cute-to-spook treat packages.

ABOUT THE KIT

Haunts & Harvest 

  • Kit contains enough supplies to create 12 treat packages—4 each of 3 designs. The all-inclusive kit includes printed die-cut boxes, die-cut sheets, adhesive, and more!
  • Finished treat box size: 2-1/2″ x 2″
  • Includes an exclusive stamp set and a Classic Stampin’ Spot
  •  Coordinating colors: Basic Black, Pale Papaya, Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Soft Succulent

Remember, this is YOUR kit when it arrives in your mailbox in mid-September! You will be ready to start thinking about fall and fall decorating! You can make everything exactly as designed in the kit or use the supplies to make your own designs and variations! If you don’t want treat boxes, make cards out of the supplies. Change it up however you like, but I have to say, it is a treat sometimes to just open the box and not have to think about “what to make”. The plan is already there for you! There’s even a video you can watch plus the directions. It’s easy enough for everyone! If you want more than 12 treat packages, order two kits! You may be able to get a “Refill Kit” later on but those are never guaranteed. Once you are signed up as a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, you can go in the Stampin’ Up! Online Store and order any past kits or refills that are available!

I always say Paper Pumpkin is a gift you give yourself! Once a month you can count on getting a package in the mail and what is better than a box of a new stamping project and supplies!

The deadline is Friday, September 10th so sign up today so you do not forget!
