Beautiful Paper Pumpkin projects

Paper Pumpkin kits keep getting better & better!  

Here's one of my bonus projects from May's kit; Mountain Majesties. As usual the cards suggested in the kit are beautiful but I love making something new with the many elements in the kit. 

Here's a peek at the bonus projects my subscribers received for the Mountain Majesties kit:  

And here are the projects from April's kit; Inked Occasions: 

These bonus projects are currently available in my shop for just $10. See them here.

Pretty Daisy Daydream card & sneak peek of upcoming Paper Pumpkin kits

I created this beautiful card using the March Daisy Daydream Paper Pumpkin kit. It's one of my alternatives made with items in the kit. 

I used the card base and the stamp set but added a few other items such as:

• Perennial Postage die-cut that I sponged the edges on
• leaves die-cuts from the Cheerful Daisy dies
• Daffodil Delight ribbon (adhered loops to the back)
• a Mossy Meadow layer
• Adhesive-Backed Metallic gems 

Each month all of my Paper Pumpkin customers (and team members) receive a free tutorial filled with alternative ideas. It's really fun to receive a kit each month and start playing with the items in the box.  

Go here to subscribe to receive a box each month. You can manage which kits you'll receive - skipping or adding an extra.  

Here is a sneak peek of the next three months of Paper Pumpkin: 

And there is an add on just for PP subscribers called Hugs Abloom dies seen here.  This set of dies will work with each of the upcoming 3 months of kits! 

Starting April 15th you'll now earn rewards on your Paper Pumpkin kits!  Host rewards are changing so all orders over $20 earn rewards!  Here's a graph to explain:

• a share of Pretty Peacock & Gold metallic ribbon
• the PDF tutorial with directions, measurements, photos & a supplies list

The tutorial will be emailed to you immediately after payment.  Please check your spam folder.  The kit will be mailed out within a few days.

January Hearts for You alternative card idea

Today I'm sharing an alternative project I made with the January Hearts for You Paper Pumpkin kit. 

Everything you see here is in the kit. The only thing I added was a Real Red Blends marker that I used to change the color of the champagne foil heart to Red.  It's fun to experiment a bit!

Below you'll see the 9 projects recommended in the kit.  They're gorgeous as is but I like to show alternative ideas just in case you want to get creative with the products.  It is really fun to change things up at times. 

Once you're a Paper Pumpkin customer you can choose to get any of the extra refills or add on items. The refills do not include the stamps or ink spot but everything else!  And they're usually only $12. Wow!  See this one here

Subscribe to Paper Pumpkin here.  Or purchase a pre-paid subscription here.

Top reasons to choose Paper Pumpkin:

If you’re looking for a fun and simple paper crafting this might be your best option! It’s fun, creative, and handmade projects bring joy to you and to others. And nothing makes paper crafting as fun, easy, and creative as Paper Pumpkin!

EVERYTHING YOU NEED IN A CRAFT BOX

One issue crafters often run into is feeling overwhelmed by their project. Lack of inspiration, proper supplies and crafty know-how might discourage you from even starting a project and unlocking your creative potential!

This never happens with a craft subscription box from Paper Pumpkin. That’s because everything you need for your project is included in your monthly art box. All you have to do is open it up and get started. You’ll be able to make cards, treat bags, gift boxes and so much more with your monthly art box subscription.

BUILD YOUR STAMP COLLECTION

Among the items in each Paper Pumpkin monthly craft kit is a reusable rubber stamp set. So after you’re done creating your monthly craft, you’ll have valuable stamps to add to your collection. You even get a free clear stamping block with your first craft box. Plus, you get a different color ink pad every month as well.

PRINT & VIDEO INSTRUCTION MAKE CRAFTING EASY

Even the craftiest among us worry that we’ll have trouble understanding how to do a project, or that we’ll make a mistake. You never have to worry about that with Paper Pumpkin! That’s because not only does each monthly arts and crafts box come with clear, easy-to-understand printed instructions, but we also upload a video to YouTube so you can watch a professional guide you through the craft.

KIDS CAN HELP WITH MONTHLY CRAFT KITS

Although Paper Pumpkin makes craft boxes for adults, they can be fun for the whole family! Use your monthly craft box subscription to introduce your kids to a fun and creative outlet. It’s truly a gift to instill a love of crafting and creativity in kids. You’ll be thrilled to see how their skills grow over time. One day your kids might have their own monthly craft subscription box!
