From July 11 through August 10, new subscribers can receive 25% off their first Paper Pumpkin kit with a pay-as-you-go subscription. That means you’ll receive the beautiful August Kindred Greetings kit at a fantastic savings while discovering why so many crafters look forward to that familiar orange box arriving each month.

And the fun doesn’t stop there! As a subscriber, you’ll also gain access to exclusive refill kits, coordinating add-on products, and past kits that aren’t available to everyone. It’s a wonderful way to continue building your collection while enjoying fresh creative inspiration every month.

Whether you’re looking for a relaxing hobby, quick handmade cards, or an easy way to stay creative without planning every project, Paper Pumpkin makes it simple. Everything is thoughtfully designed, beautifully coordinated, and delivered right to your doorstep.

A Few Important Details

This special offer is available for new Paper Pumpkin subscribers who have not had an active subscription within the past 18 months. The 25% discount applies to pay-as-you-go subscriptions only and does not apply to prepaid subscriptions. Your first kit will be the August Kindred Greetings Kit, which is included as part of the promotion and cannot be skipped.

One of the things I love most about Paper Pumpkin is its simplicity. Everything you need arrives in one beautiful box, including pre-cut pieces, an exclusive stamp set, ink, embellishments, and easy-to-follow instructions. There’s no guessing what supplies you need or spending time cutting cardstock. You simply open the box, sit down with your favorite beverage, and enjoy creating.

Sparkling Celebrations 🌟 Double Your Cards with These EASY Paper Pumpkin Alternatives!

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS, Paper Pumpkin by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

If you love getting even MORE from your crafting supplies, then today’s projects are going to inspire you! ✨ In this replay of my Facebook LIVE, I’m sharing three alternative card ideas created with the May 2026 Sparkling Celebrations Paper Pumpkin Kit — and each one shows just how versatile this kit can be. By changing layouts, adding a few simple techniques, and thinking outside the box, you can create cards that look completely different from the original kit designs while still using the beautiful elements included in the box.

Be sure to watch the video replay below for all the tips, techniques, and little details that really bring these cards to life.

CLICK HERE TO VIEW ON YOUTUBE!

Card #1 – Layered Tree Line Technique ✨

This first card may look detailed, but the layered tree line effect is actually incredibly simple to create! I love how the dark silhouette grounds the glowing sky and floating lanterns, creating a peaceful evening scene. The best part? This technique can be used on SO many different styles of cards — masculine cards, holiday scenes, nature cards, scrapbook layouts, and more. It’s one of those easy techniques that delivers a big WOW effect without a lot of extra work.

The sparkle accents and soft blended sky really help create a magical feeling on this design!

Card #2 – The “Lifted” Effect Card ✨

You’ll definitely want to watch the video to fully appreciate the dimensional “lifted” effect we created on this card! The added depth gives the scene so much movement and interest, almost like you’re looking out through a window at the glowing lights. And yes… I added Wink of Stella to all those tiny lights because a little shimmer makes everything better! ✨

This card is such a fun reminder that simple changes in layering and dimension can completely transform a project.

Card #3 – Window View Alternative 🌅

For this final alternative, I paired the design with the beautiful Scenic Coast Designer Series Paper to create a stunning sunset ocean view through the window frame. I absolutely love how peaceful and relaxing this card feels.

And here’s the exciting part — you could easily recreate this same idea using other Designer Series Papers too! Imagine this card with:

  • Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper
  • Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper

Both of these papers are currently on the Last Chance List, which means you may be able to grab them at a discount while supplies last! That makes this a perfect time to stock up on versatile papers that work beautifully for cardmaking, scrapbooking, and alternative projects like these.

I hope these ideas inspire you to look at your Paper Pumpkin kits in a whole new way and encourage you to experiment with your supplies. Sometimes all it takes is a simple layout change or added detail to create something truly unique!

🎥 Be sure to enjoy the video replay and let me know in the comments below — Which card is YOUR favorite? 💙

Thanks for joining me today …

And don’t forget — Paper Pumpkin subscriptions of 3, 6, or 12 months also qualify for Stampin’ Rewards! 🎉 That means you can enjoy creative happy mail delivered right to your door and earn rewards toward future crafting goodies at the same time!

Escape to Serenity with the Waterside Retreat Suite

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Escape to a quiet moment on the shore with the Waterside Retreat Suite Collection. This beautiful new suite, arriving in the upcoming catalog this May, captures the breezy simplicity of a lakeside getaway. With serene imagery of lounge chairs, open books, sailboats, gentle waters, and peaceful shoreline scenes, it invites us to slow down and create cards that bring comfort, encouragement, and heartfelt connection.

Today, I’m delighted to share a handmade card inspired by this tranquil collection. My card highlights the stunning designer paper, which beautifully depicts a misty lakeside dock scene, instantly setting a peaceful and reflective tone. To enhance the sense of movement and life, I added delicate bird dies soaring across the sky, bringing dimension and a touch of nature to the card. The sentiment, created using the Prayers & Promises stamp set, offers a message of comfort and healing: “May you feel God’s care and healing as you recover.” This makes the card especially meaningful for sending encouragement during times when a gentle reminder of care is needed.

The calming colors and serene imagery of the Waterside Retreat Suite make it perfect for sympathy, thinking-of-you, masculine, encouragement cards or lakeside fun. Its versatility ensures it will quickly become a favorite for creating heartfelt projects that resonate with both the sender and the recipient.

Adding to the excitement, this suite coordinates beautifully with this month’s Paper Pumpkin kit, titled Lakeside Retreat. The kit includes exclusive designs and elements that complement the suite, allowing you to expand your creative possibilities and enjoy perfectly coordinated projects.

🚨 Important Reminder: Today is the final day to subscribe to receive this special Paper Pumpkin kit! If you love the peaceful lakeside theme, you won’t want to miss the opportunity to add these coordinating elements to your crafting collection. Subscribing ensures that this exclusive kit is delivered right to your door, ready to inspire your next creative escape.

As you look ahead to the new catalog release in May, be sure to add the Waterside Retreat Suite to your wish list. Its tranquil charm and versatility make it a timeless addition to any crafter’s collection.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope this card inspires you to take a moment for yourself and enjoy the peaceful creativity that stamping brings. Be sure to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin before the day ends, and get ready to create your own lakeside escape!

Flutter into Creativity with the Beautiful Bokeh Suite 🦋

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS, Promotions / Deals by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Welcome back, stampers! Today I’m beyond excited to spotlight the Beautiful Bokeh Suite, a gorgeous collection that truly elevates your crafting with both ease and elegance. This suite combines dreamy butterfly motifs, stunning bokeh-patterned papers, and a clever hybrid embossing folder and die set—all in one coordinated collection.

The hybrid embossing folder is a true game‑changer: you can emboss delicate butterfly silhouettes for added texture, or pair the folder with its matching die to cut and emboss in a single pass—a real time‑saver that delivers incredible detail every time. These ready‑to‑use butterflies are a beautiful focal point on any card or tag.

What truly sets this suite apart is the Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper—a soft palette of images that mimic shimmering light and pair effortlessly with the butterfly designs. Whether you use the 6″×6″ paper behind embossed butterflies or stamp and die‑cut matching accents, your projects will glow with a professional finish.

I’ve shared how versatile and beginner‑friendly this suite is. Watch the video as I combine the embossing folder, die, DSP, and shimmer gems to craft a striking Balmy Blue butterfly card—proof that this suite plays well with additional supplies like gems and cut‑out accents!

Here’s why you will love this suite:

  • Fast, detailed results — emboss or emboss & cut butterflies in one go
  • Coordinated elegance — with designer paper, stamps, dies, and embellishments
  • Mix‑and‑match friendly — works beautifully with many cardstock colors and extras like shimmer gems and ribbon
  • Inspiration aplenty — plentiful tutorials available, from clean & simple to layered masterpieces!

This card shows the ability to cut out the main butterfly and turn it into a stunning “shape” card. The front was watercolored with our ink refills and water.

This is the perfect moment to bring this suite home. It’s featured in the Suite Sale / BOGO event—buy any suite, get a second one at half price until June 30th—and it’s online-exclusively available now lindasstampinescape.com. Whether you’re adding to your crafting stash or picking up a gift for a friend, it’s a beautiful time to join in.

Check out this collaboration with the Paper Pumpkin kit …

I have yet another Beautiful Bokeh and Paper Pumpkin combo for you. Watch the video for step by step instructions and the measurements for this fun fold card ….

I hope you have enjoyed the stunning card samples featuring everything this suite can do—from delicate white-on-white elegance to vibrant layered designs and soft pastel harmony. Each one highlights different techniques —these designs are crafted to spark ideas for birthdays, thank-you notes, friendship cards, and more!

This card uses the Bokeh designer paper as a mat (and peeks through under the butterfly), the folder with the die, the die to cut the detailed butterfly out of the Ombre Glitter paper, and the embellishments to complete the card.

Ready to Fly?

Take advantage of the Suite Sale/BOGO and bring the Beautiful Bokeh Suite into your craft room. Not only will you get full-coordination, but you’ll also pick up a second suite at half price—perfect for layering on creativity or gifting to a fellow stamper.

Let’s Take a Peek into my Stamping Retreat

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS, Stampin' Retreats by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Welcome to a little peek into the joy-filled weekend we shared at our Fall Holiday Stamping Retreat! Last weekend was truly an escape into creativity, connection, and fun—a beautiful retreat filled with laughter, crafting, and the warmth of friendships both new and old. Picture yourself arriving at our charming English Tudor retreat home, welcomed at the door with open arms and a heartfelt greeting. We guide you to your room, where a specially crafted name tag awaits you, made just for you using the delicate Frozen Edges dies. If you take a look at page 50 in the catalog, you’ll spot where this inspiration came from. This was one of the bundles that played a starring role in one of our weekend stamping sessions, and it brought a touch of winter’s elegance to our retreat.

As you settle into your cozy room, you’ll notice a Welcome Gift waiting just for you, a little something special to start the weekend off right. And to aid in your crafting endeavors. It’s an adorable memento of our time together, a token of appreciation to carry home as a reminder of this getaway. This personal touch, just for you, is a cornerstone of what makes these retreats so memorable and meaningful.

As you move into the dining room, the warm glow of the space invites you further in. There, you’ll spot adorable gift boxes set at each place, a touch of holiday charm and creativity wrapped up just for you. The Book Treat Boxes, found on page 27 of the catalog, were assembled and lovingly decorated with the festive Sentimental Christmas Designer Paper. Each box was filled with small surprises, perfect for adding to the retreat’s joy and spirit… and a little inspiration to craft when they get home!

After settling in and enjoying a hearty dinner together, the excitement of our first stamping session begins. As everyone gathers, they’re met with a delightful surprise—a fun and festive Popcorn Bar filled with an assortment of sweet and salty treats! It’s the perfect way to add a little extra joy to the evening, letting everyone nibble as we dive into our creative projects and settle into the cozy atmosphere of the craft room. And speaking of adding … our guests always add to this table (it magically fills us with all sorts of special treats).

This retreat was even more special as I introduced Paper Pumpkin to our stamping session for the very first time. Attendees were thrilled to get hands-on experience with these kits, starting with a chance to capture photos of the original designs. I also shared some of my own alternative techniques and layouts, giving them a fresh perspective on how to get more out of their kits. Watching their excitement as they discovered new ways to craft unique cards was such a joy, and it was just one of the highlights of the retreat.

The energy in the room was contagious, and each participant left that evening feeling inspired and ready for more. These sessions are all about learning, sharing, and having fun, and I’m beyond grateful to create these experiences with such a wonderful group. If this sounds like the kind of weekend you’d love, I invite you to join us for our upcoming Spring Stamping Retreat from May 2nd through the 4th. It’s an experience you won’t want to miss—one full of warmth, laughter, and creativity, with friends old and new.

Make sure you get on my mailing list for the invitation!

Here is a comment I received from one of our guests today! Peggy K: Working on Christmas cards for our homebound church members. I got out my Home for the Holidays Paper Pumpkin kit and can get 19 beautiful alternate cards out of it plus the ones we made at retreat. Thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks for joining me, and I will be back to share more.

The color palette is a joyful mix of bright and cheerful hues, including Lemon Lime Twist and Melon Mambo, which bring a fresh, modern twist to traditional floral designs.

For today’s card, I’ve taken the beautiful floral piece from the kit and layered it on coordinating cardstock: Lemon Lime Twist, Melon Mambo, Basic Black, and Basic White.
