Paper Pumpkin Cards So Cool Kit April 2021

Leave a reply
A Day For Paper Pumpkin April 2021

It’s been a rainy weekend in Houston so it was a perfect day for Paper Pumpkin! I stopped everything else and opened up my new Paper Pumpkin Kit called “So Cool” for April 2021. This is the kit that was designed for children to have a fun papercrafting experience with you! But it was really just as much fun without any little ones around! It is a very cute, colorful kit! And so many alternative ideas if you want to make other designs.

With every Paper Pumpkin Kit you have the option to make the project as designed or use the supplies to make whatever you want to come up with! The kit comes to you in your mailbox each month unless you skip a month. You can cancel with no risk or obligation.

This particular kit seems to have lots of alternative ideas that other stampers have come up with. Often I like to make a few of the cards as designed for the kit and then make something different with the rest. Today I only made these cards as designed and then it was time to clear off the kitchen table for dinner! Ugh!

Each Paper Pumpkin kit costs $22.00 plus tax but includes shipping.

Sign up HERE at my personalized link. If you are looking for another Demonstrator, just go HERE to Paperpumpkin.com.

You must sign up or change your subscription by the 10th of any month.

You can also purchase a prepaid subscription to Paper Pumpkin on your regular Stampin’ Up! order! Perhaps it will help you earn Stampin’ Rewards if your order reaches $150 or more. Once you are a subscriber, you can go back and order any extra past kits or refills if you want more pieces to make with a kit you have!

Each month you get a new kit, usually cards, but it could be any number of other projects! You get a little bit of information about each kit as soon as ordering is available, but not everything about the kit until later!

Here are the cards I made with the cute “So Cool” Paper Pumpkin Kit for April.

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!

TODAY, Nov. 10th, is the LAST DAY to SIGN UP!

JOIN PAPER PUMPKIN TODAY TO GET YOUR NOVEMBER KIT!

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. 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.

Fun Halloween Treat Boxes

Leave a reply
Happy Halloween Projects

Today is the big day for kids and also moms with little kids in school! Usually there is a run on Halloween cupcakes at the grocery store for the school parties! To celebrate, I put a few of my recent Halloween projects on this cute little cake stand my friend gave me the other day! The Clear Tiny Treat Box is easy to decorate and the Mini Curvy Keepsake Boxes are really cute. There are so many fun things to make for Halloween, just not enough time!

Halloween is such a fun holiday and one we all probably remember from our childhood – what costumes we wore, what kind of candy we got, school parties! I’m still good friends with a mom I met at my youngest son’s kindergarten class Halloween party!

These Coffin Treat Boxes were really fun this year, I thought! They were easy to put together and almost any way you decorated them they looked great! I used the Monster Bash Designer Series Paper and also the Spooktacular Bash Stamp Set, plus some leftover pieces from the September Paper Pumpkin Kit.

Coffin Treat Boxes Decorated For Halloween

After I took the photo I tied ribbon around them to hold the lid on after I put candy inside. The top decoration I popped up on two dimensionals at the top and bottom so there would be space in between to slide a ribbon. Here is a post for the first Coffin Treat Box I made and how to assemble it.

And then the other fun Halloween project was making these treat boxes with the September Paper Pumpkin Kit! “Craft supplies” (chocolate!) being put to proper use!

Paper Pumpkin treat boxes

Even though Halloween will be over after today, if there is anything in the Monster Bash Suite you loved and want more of for next year you can still order it!

Have a safe and fun Halloween Night! Don’t let the goblins get you!

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!

Paper Pumpkin Sept 2019 Kit Halloween Treat Boxes

I had so much fun making up this Paper Pumpkin September 2019 Kit with Halloween Treat Boxes yesterday while watching the Houston Texans lose another football game that they didn’t need to lose. It was good I had a distraction! I really enjoyed making this kit and not just because it was a Halloween theme!

Paper Pumpkin is a monthly papercrafting kit made by Stampin’ Up! that comes to you in the mail when you subscribe. You may think you do not want to be committed to a “subscription” but there really is no pressure or risk to a Paper Pumpkin subscription. You can go into your account at any time before the 10th of any month and “skip” a month or two if you like. If you want to cancel, just cancel. I consider it a gift to myself each month to receive this special box in my mailbox!

The presentation of the kit is wonderful, too! They don’t just throw all the materials in the box. All the materials are packaged up and wrapped in tissue paper just like a gift. There is also an exclusive stamp set and small ink spot. I think one of my favorite parts about the Paper Pumpkin Kit is opening it up and laying out all the materials provided in the kit! I love to see all the pieces I have been given!

Paper Pumpkin Sept 2019 Kit Contents

In this September Kit you can see the pamphlet with directions (there is also a helpful video online for each kit), the stamp set, the treat boxes, the various tags, the embellishments for the boxes, the bag of little black clothespins, the adhesive dots and even some black mini dimensionals to pop up some of the pieces.

I didn’t close up all my boxes yet, just some to see what they would look like and to show you in this blog post. I don’t want to have to undo all of them when I actually put candy or treats inside closer to Halloween! I got 20 boxes to make in this kit. I made 16 and am deciding if I want to make some alternative projects instead of all the boxes! Obviously it is your kit so you can use the materials however you like in any month! Sometimes I do half and half….make half as designed and make some other projects that I see online for something different!

Paper Pumpkin Halloween Treat Boxes

Here is a closeup of some of the boxes so you can see the decorated Halloween tags that are then clipped onto the handle of the box with a small black clothespin! The skeleton hand is adhered to the front of the clothespin with the glue dots. Such a cute project! Maybe you can see the clothespin clipped to the top of the box in this side view below.

Paper Pumpkin Sept 2019 Halloween Treat Box Closure

If you are interested in trying Paper Pumpkin, it is just the right time because the next two month’s kits will coordinate for the holidays! The October 2019 Kit will be 10 cards and the November Kit will be 24 holiday-themed gift tags of 4 various sizes and designs. Sounds like fun to me! I can guarantee you will be glad to have 10 extra cards, even if you are making some on your own, just in case! I know I always have a few more people I want to send cards to. And we all will need gift tags!

Paper Pumpkin Winter Wonders 2019

The cost of each monthly kit is $22 plus tax but that includes shipping. In your first kit, you will receive an acrylic block made for Paper Pumpkin with which to mount the stamps. In all the kits you will receive an exclusive stamp set, an ink spot, adhesives, and all the materials to make the project, whatever it is! No need to design something yourself or order supplies you don’t have……it’s all in the box! Just open and craft! And of course, you will have the stamp set and ink spot to use in the future. In fact, the ink spots are great to use with the Stamparatus!

October is coming up tomorrow and the important date to remember is October 10th! And then November 10th, if you don’t subscribe in October! But I suggest subscribing by October 10th so you receive both kits and will be ready for Christmas! Do it today so you don’t forget!

Kit details: Makes 10 cards and envelopes
Card size: 4 1/4″ x 5-1/2″ (10.8 x 14 cm)
Envelope size: 4-1/2″ x 5-3/4″ (11.4 x 14.6 cm)
Coordinating colors: Early Espresso, Pool Party, Poppy Parade, and Shaded Spruce

November 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.

How great would that be to know you will have a pre-planned kit to make 10 Christmas cards to send, even if you are a regular cardmaker and have some other card designs you want to make for Christmas. I like to make many different designs of cards that I send out for Christmas!

This also means that by the end of October, you surely will have at least ten cards made for the holidays so that is ten less that you will have to rush to make at the last minute!

Then in November, you will get the second kit with designs and supplies to make tags for gifts. If you don’t need tags, use them to make more cards if you like! But usually, we always need more tags! I know I have run out to the store at the last minute in past years for MORE tags for presents!

To get one or both of these kits (with no obligation to continue your subscription, but you probably will want to!), just sign up HERE at my Paper Pumpkin website! Just remember the deadline is October 10th to get the October kit, and if you don’t subscribe then, the deadline for the November kit will be November 10th. Save yourself the effort of remembering and just subscribe NOW!

Another option is to purchase a subscription on your Stampin’ Up! order in the Online Store! This may help you reach $150 or more on your order and thus get Stampin’ Rewards! You will get an email from Stampin’ Up! telling you how to set up your Paper Pumpkin account and a code to use to register your prepaid kits. It’s easy. Decide which method works best for you. Even if you have a subscription to Paper Pumpkin, you can add a subscription to your Stampin’ Up! order, use those prepaid kits in your account, and then it will revert back to your monthly subscription. Choose whichever option is better for you!

Paper Pumpkin September 2019

Halloween is nearly here, which means that Paper Pumpkin has been busy, busy, busy. Stampin’ Up! thought you might like “a hand” with your frightful festivities, so they designed September’s kit, Bone Appétit, with YOU in mind. I can’t wait for this kit!!!

This kit includes 20 food-safe treat boxes, a unique and exclusive Halloween stamp set, and a spooky, special-edition box. September’s kit also gives new meaning to the word “handmade.” (Cue the scary laughter!)

So don’t be in the dark this Halloween. Subscribe at paperpumpkin.com by September 10 to get in on the fun. Find my name to be on my list:  Karen Fontinelle
