Sale at Paper Pumpkin For Active Paper Pumpkin Subscribers!

If you are an active Paper Pumpkin subscriber (you can join any time!), big savings start today!

“Past Kits” are ones that have already been offered, but are the complete kit. “Refills” do not contain the exclusive stamp set and ink spot but you can likely use your own stamps and ink or markers.

Add-ons are small dies that were offered to go along with some of the kits for just a little extra something!

Paper Pumpkin is a treat you give yourself when you find that box in your mail once a month! It’s even wrapped like a gift inside complete with colored tissue paper! All the supplies you need are in the kit except maybe for scissors. It’s really relaxing and fun to just open the box and start creating without having to have a lot of supplies (or look for them!) or designing the project. Of course, you can create your own project and alternatives with the supplies if you prefer.

“Hello Spring” Paper Pumpkin Kit For February 2025

Paper Pumpkin February 2025 Hello Spring

It may be difficult to think of spring while lots of us are smack dab in the middle of winter, including snowstorms! Not here in Houston, of course, except for feeling cold to us when anyone in a real winter climate would think our temperatures are spring-like! My husband even has lettuce, radishes, and carrots coming up in his garden box on the patio!

Nevertheless, you can get a taste of spring with this “Hello Spring” Paper Pumpkin Kit from Stampin’ Up! If you subscribe to Paper Pumpkin between now and February 10th, you will receive this kit in the mail mid-February!

Kit Details:

Plant the seeds of happiness with these lovely garden-inspired cards!

Makes 9 cards: 3 each of 3 designs
• Precut pieces with bronze foil
• Unique spring-themed envelopes
• Coordinating colors: Basic Beige, Bubble Bath, Lemon Lime Twist, Lost Lagoon, Old Olive, Petunia Pop (Classic Stampin’ Spot)

Coordinates with the Grow with Love Bundle (item 164804)! One of the Stampin’ Up! New Arrivals online!

Each kit comes with all the supplies you need to make the project inside, except for scissors! You get an exclusive stamp set, a Stampin’ Spot 1” x 1″ ink pad, embellishments, cards and envelopes. It’s really fun to open the box and see what is inside, even if you have seen pictures online! Seeing it in person is always better. I like to say Paper Pumpkin is the gift you give yourself each month, a treat you get in the mail, just for you….or maybe you’d like to share the fun with a family member or friend! You can always order more than one kit in your account. And if you have a busy month coming up, you can always skip that month and look forward to the next month’s kit! No risk, no obligation. Cancel any time if you don’t feel Paper Pumpkin is for you. You can always come back!

These kits are designed for everyone! New crafters, non-crafters, and experienced crafters! Sometimes it is nice to just open the box and there is a project already designed for you and everything at hand that you will need. A video is always available online if you like to watch the assembly (I do!!) and you will always find alternate ideas for using the kit various places online if you feel more adventurous.

Paper Pumpkin and the Annular Eclipse 2023

Leave a reply
Eclipse 2023 Paper Pumpkin Box

Yesterday was an exciting morning in Texas and many other places and surprisingly, Paper Pumpkin helped us see the Eclipse 2023. We had beautiful, perfect weather (after a long, very hot summer!) with clear blue skies. If you had rain or clouds you probably didn’t get to see it.

This was an annular eclipse where the moon blocks the view of the sun from the earth. In a total eclipse, the moon entirely blocks the sun. In this annular eclipse the moon is farther away from the earth so it appears smaller and when it blocks the sun, it doesn’t completely cover the sun which leaves a “ring of fire” around the edge. We didn’t see that here in Houston, but we had about 85% coverage. We could have driven a few hours farther southwest and had better coverage.

Of course we all know you shouldn’t look directly at the sun during an eclipse. We didn’t have the special glasses so we had to use other methods to see the eclipse. First of all, the easiest thing is to look at the sidewalk at the shadows of the leaves from the trees. You can very clearly see the shape of the eclipse.

Eclipse 2023 sidewalk

As time went on there were more and more shadow, in the street, up to our front porch, everywhere! Probably our favorite one was the shadows on the front of the house and the roof.

Eclipse 2023 House

Then my husband was playing around out on the patio in the backyard. I had been working on finishing up some old Paper Pumpkin kits so I had some empty boxes on the dryer inside the box door ready to go out in the recycle bin. My husband grabbed one and did the old pinhole trick of punched a small hole in the box and focusing it on a box on the ground. I realized he was using a Paper Pumpkin box so I got the idea to post it on my blog!

Eclipse 2023 Paper Pumpkin Box

Then he also brought out my mother’s old colander that I still use and that made a fantastic artistic pattern!

Eclipse 2023 Colander

I think this is really cool! Of course, the photo isn’t as sharp as it was seeing it in person but you get the idea!

Eclipse 2023 Colander Art

That was our exciting morning of tracking the eclipse from around 10:30 am to the maximum eclipse around noon, and then ending around 1:30 pm. Besides viewing the eclipse, it was fun to see other neighbors outside and get to chat with them! Usually we are inside our airconditioned houses, but as I said the weather yesterday was perfect for being outside!

So next time there is an eclipse, grab an empty Paper Pumpkin box and let it help you see the shapes of the eclipse without endangering your eyes!

Get your Paper Pumpkin box HERE with a fun papercrafting project inside. All the materials you need are included except scissors. No risk, no obligation! Try it out for at least one month and see if you enjoy it! It’s fun to get a Paper Pumpkin Kit in your mailbox once a month!

Paper Pumpkin always looks fun, but this upcoming kit for June really got me excited for it! Paper Pumpkin is the monthly papercrafting kit that comes to you in the mail from Stampin’ Up! and this kit for June is extra special! It will introduce you to the new 2021-23 In Color collection, and you’ll also find a familiar shade from the 2020-22 In Color Collection.

The In Color Collections are new colors introduced that are new, fresh, and trendy, but they only stick around for two years! So every year it is important to get the In Colors to add to your ink, marker, and paper collection!

This Paper Pumpkin Kit will have all the supplies you need to make 9 cards, 3 each of 3 designs plus coordinating envelopes! And by coordinating, they mean “not plain white”. You will receive printed card bases, die-cut paper pieces, embellishments, adhesive, and more! The coordinating colors in June are Bumblebee, Evening Evergreen, Fresh Freesia, and Polished Pink.

As always, this month’s kit features an exclusive stamp set. But, this month’s kit also includes not one, but two Classic Stampin’ Spots! (Little ink pads!) And to top it all off, the kit comes in a cute, colorful, and collectible box.

An extra bonus is that this kit coordinates with products from the Expressions in Ink Suite (item #155459) in the new Stampin’ Up! Catalog. You will find this Suite on pages 96-97. It is also featured on the front of the new catalog! This Suite jumped right off the page at me and I absolutely love it!! The designer paper is stunning! That makes the Paper Pumpkin Kit extra exciting! And if you are not ready for the whole Suite yet, you can get a taste with the Paper Pumpkin Kit! At this moment, the Suite is backordered but likely will be available toward the end of June.

Get a taste of the new In Colors as well as coordination with the new Expressions In Ink Suite in the new catalog! Join Paper Pumpkin today and be assured your name is on the list for June’s Paper Pumpkin! OR add a Prepaid Kit or several months to your regular Stampin’ Up! order. Maybe it will help you reach Stampin’ Rewards!
