To get this month's cards kit be sure to subscribe here by March 10th or purchase a pre-paid subscription below.  I always get a pre-paid subscription in March so I can take advantage of Sale-a-Bration.  You can see those here.

Here's how that works:

• a 6 month pre-paid subscription earns me 2 free choices!

About the FREE Stamp Set

• The additional stamp set is a great value and coordinates with the March kit design; however, you do not need it to complete the March cards.
• The additional stamp set is a 4x6 footprint, which is larger than most Paper Pumpkin sets and is designed for use on a variety of crafting projects.

Be sure to purchase this by March 10th to get this month's free kit! 

Winter Woods Christmas Tags Kit!

I LOVED the October Winter Woods Paper Pumpkin kit.  The cards are filled with snowflakes, birch trees and cardinals.  They're gorgeous as is; just look at these!

Do you love them too??  The outdoor scenes and those silver edged envelopes are right up my alley!  Sometimes they have extra kits they offer current subscribers but not this month!  They ran out; I think the theme was a hit.  

Each month I offer my Paper Pumpkin subscribers alternate ideas just in case they want to try something else.  Here's a card I made with parts of the October kit: 

I used a Night of Navy card base and a strip of White card stock.  The birch trees, cardinals, greeting and snowflakes are from the kit.  I tore the white CS and added Shimmer Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the edge.  Super quick and easy! 

There are just a few days left to get in on the November kit.  I'm so excited about it! 

It makes 24 holiday-themed gift tags of 4 various sizes and designs. And of course there is always an ink spot, a beautiful stamp set and tons of accessories included in the box.  I can't wait to get it and make my Christmas tags this year; no thinking or planning!  I'm hoping to find coordinating Pool Party wrapping paper just so I can use these tags on my gifts!  The theme and colors are so me! 

**Coordinating colors: Early Espresso, Pool Party, Poppy Parade, and Shaded Spruce

Subscribe here by the 10th of November to get the Christmas tags kit.
