Do you love to create pretty things, then give them away? If so, we designed our August Paper Pumpkin kit with you in mind. Not only does it offer you a giftable, multi-occasion mix of papaya and peach sorbet-colored cards which you can dress up with contrasting flowers and leaves, but it also includes a delightful, designed box to put them in.
Each lovely Giftable Greetings kit comes with the Giftable Greetings Stamp Set, 1 Night of Navy ink spot, 8 printed card bases (4 ea. of 2 colors), 8 printed envelopes (4 ea. of 2 colors), 1 printed card box, 1 clear box lid, 3 sheets leaf stickers, 2 sheets die-cut flowers (1 ea. of 2 colors), 2 sheets printed die-cut ovals, 1 sheet blank die-cut ovals, 1 sheet printed die-cut tags, 1 sheet printed die-cut flowers, 2/3 yd. navy baker’s twine, 1 yd. striped coral ribbon, 50 dimensionals, and 50 adhesive dots—so you’ll have lots of fun things to play with!
If you’re a die-hard gift-giver, your eyes will zero in on that lovely box with its gorgeous floral design and clear acetate top. You may even imagine it full of cards you’ve made yourself, tied with a lovely, striped coral bow—ready to give to one of your very best friends! It’s pretty irresistible, and yes, you might need one for yourself! Check out the video below.
If you just watched the video (and we hope you did!) you now know how easy it is to assemble these cards—but we’re all creative types here, right? Sometimes we strike out into the unknown and go our own way. Maybe add an unexpected pop of color or a fun embellishment. Check out what one of our concept artists did when she boxed up a set of this kit’s cards and tags. (You can pick up the cute wooden spools at most craft stores.) In fact, there are tons of things you could do to add your own touch. Go crazy!
Options include creating a fun bellyband—as you see here on the Thinking of You card—or make your own designed paper using the flower image from the stamp set. Check out the gorgeous sympathy card for inspiration.
With this kit, the possibilities are truly endless. And that’s one of the things we love about Paper Pumpkin. Each month you get a box full of creative goodies that includes everything you need to make lots of lovely projects—but you can also add whatever else you have in your own crafting supply to make something truly unique.

Today’s card will showcase yet another pattern from our Spooky Night Designer Series paper (actually 2 patterns!) and the new Labels to Love stamp set found on page 45 of the Holiday Catalog. The stamp set coordinates with the Everyday Label Punch found on page 12.
I couldn’t resist using this fun polka dot pattern … but don’t just keep it for Halloween, this paper can be used for any occasion. The cute little pumpkins are actually from the flip side of the polka dot paper.
The greeting was stamped with Memento ink on Very Vanilla cardstock. I punched it out and then trimmed it down. I punched 2 more labels from Paper Pumpkin cardstock… one to mat the greeting and the second I flipped vertical and attached 2 black rhinestones to it.
With the help of the Everyday Label punch, Labels to Love stamp set and the cute Spooky Night Designer Series paper, it was easy to create this quick -n- cute card!
Thanks so much for sharing your Sunday with me.
Take time to relax this weekend ~

Yesterday I shared a video that showed the new Designer Papers from the Holiday Catalog … Nice, right! We’ll today I want to share one of those designer papers with you …
Potions, pumpkins, witches’ hats, cats, and eerie trees; this Halloween-themed Designer Series Paper has it all!
Spooky Nights Designer Series paper is the heart of this card. Let’s start with the fun background … this cute paper sure lets you know what holiday it’s trying to get across! We’ll the other side has a nice stripped pattern and was used as the small banner that has our greeting.
The spooky little kitty is actually designer paper too! And has a coordinating punch!! And, of course the stamp set was designed to coordinate as well!! WOW!!! Oh yes, and our larger banner is the backside of the kitty!
I did use the Spooky Cat Bundle to help me create this card – so easy and fun! You can either stamp a cat image or punch it right from the designer paper. The cat punch so far is a BIG hit!
I used the 2″ Circle Punch and So Saffron cardstock to create my moon, which really creates a focal point for my cat. I added a sassy little hat to my kitty which is also another pattern from the designer paper.
To finish it off… I added a Black Rhinestone to anchor my banners and one to the hat to add a bit more sass! A few dimensionals to pop up my kitty and the card is complete.
I hope you enjoyed my Halloween card as much as I enjoyed making it. I being sharing more from this spooky little in the future!
Today I’m going to share with you a beautiful card I created using the Eastern Palace Product Suite. This is a never before seen card … and by that I mean, I’ve done 3 stamping sessions using this bundle!
I have never held 3 events using the same bundle before, with that said, it definitely shows how versatile this bundle really is!!
Let’s begin with the Eastern Palace Cardstock packet … I used the Dapper Denim as card base, you will also see a strip of the Denim and Tranquil Tide running across the card front, topping one of the beautiful designs of the Eastern Palace Designer Paper.
The pretty elements were created with the same cardstocks listed above, the Eastern Palace Thinlit Dies and the Gold Vinyl Stickers. The touch of Gold Glimmer Paper and the Gold Faceted Gems really make these elements POP!!
The beautiful greeting “To think of you is to Smile” comes in the stamp set that comes in the bundle. This stamp set has several great phrases that can be used over and over again.
I am going to offer you the same special I offered my other classes … if you purchase the 145308 – Eastern Beauty Bundle (stamps & dies – Save 20%) the 144148 – Eastern Palace Cardstock pack, the 144147 Designer Paper and the 144141 Gold Faceted Gems …. Then I will send you the Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers FREE, plus a Virtual Rewards Point. This offer is valid through September 2nd…

I’m back today with the sneak peek card that I created using one of the new stamp sets from our Holiday Catalog! Can you guess what “holiday” I picked? I’m sure many of you know that my first choice will be Halloween! You’re right!
You’re going to love the stamp set I chose, it’s the “Festive Phrases” stamp set on page 45. Once you flip to the page, you’ll know why I had to have this set … it not only has a cute Halloween greeting but those Christmas one … OMG!! You gotta love ’em!!
Along with my greeting, you’ll notice the cool Designer Series paper ” Spooky Nights”… you can find it with the Spooky Night product suite on pages 52 and 53. The designer paper actually coordinates with the Spooky Cat stamp set and the Cat punch … I’ll show you more in future posts, but for now, just check out all the samples on page 52!!
I teamed up with Stitched Framelit Dies along with the Circle Dies to highlight my greeting “Pick Your Potion” and then popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Did you notice the cute little potion bottle on the background designer paper … I love that Stampin’ Up! create products that can be used together with many different products.
My base of the card is Pumpkin Pie and the designer paper is matted with the Basic Black. The greeting was stamped on Very Vanilla … all colors are listed on the designer paper pack so it’s not hard to pick what colors you should use!
Now … couldn’t you picture making just the round greeting attached to the banner and then attach hang it on a few bottles of wine … or sparkling water! lol Just have some fun with it 🙂

Today I want to share with you a beautiful card that I made for my “Eastern Palace Suite Card Class” last week.
With just the Eastern Beauty Bundle (pg.19 in our Annual Catalog) and the Designer Specialty Paper … you can create this stunning Gold card in just minutes.
Let’s begin with the base … it’s the Dapper Denim for our In-Color line and goes beautifully with the Gold. The Gold specialty paper comes from the Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Series Paper.
Our square piece, which is the center piece of our card was adorned with the large starburst Vinyl sticker and then was topped with a floral piece cut from the Eastern Medallions Thinlits Die.
The greeting comes from the Eastern Beauty stamp set and highlighted with one of the circle stamps … both done in the coordinating Dapper Denim ink.
The card was finished off with the beautiful NEW Metallic-Edge Ribbon in Gold! It is even prettier in “real life” vs the photos.
The entire “Eastern Palace Suite” coordinates so beautifully and is easy to work with. In fact … this was the 3rd class I’ve done with this suite – that to me shows true versatility!
