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.

One of the highlights of the Paper Pumpkin subscription is the exclusive stamp sets that come with each kit. These high-quality, photopolymer stamps are designed to add a special touch to your projects. They’re not available for purchase separately, making them a unique and valuable addition to your crafting arsenal.

Dutch Door Christmas Card

Posted in Christmas, HANDMADE CARDS, Paper Pumpkin by

Good Morning Stampin’ Friends,

I hope you enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends / family. I enjoyed a nice afternoon with family … two of my older grandsons popping in to say hi was a real treat, and then a family friend also joined up.

If you enjoyed my last post with the October “Home for the Holidays” Paper Pumpkin kit, I have one more Alternative Project I just had to share! That is just a festive wonderland of creativity, filled with elements perfect for spreading seasonal cheer. Crafting with these kits opens up endless possibilities, allowing us to think beyond the prescribed instructions and venture into unique projects.

The one particularly exciting alternative project that emerged from my head involved a playful twist on traditional card designs. I took the card front and gave it a little snip—right down the middle— lol. It creates a gateway to fun! I cut my card at 3 1/4″ to the center fold.

By cutting the card front in half, a whole new world of creative opportunities opened up…. I glued the top half of the card “shut”!! I used one of the “house layers” and attached it to the lower half of the card front …. I call this my Dutch Door Card!!

With a touch of glitter glue included in the kit, the divided front turned into an eye-catching feature. The houses became focal points that bridged the gap between the split sections, creating an element of surprise when the card was opened or displayed.

I also used the strips between the glitter banners to hide the raw edge of the top flap on the inside and behind my greeting to highlight it … bling never hurts!! I also added the Festive Pearls to add a pop of color at the bottom of the card.

Crafting is an adventure, and these kits offer the chance to put your imaginative twist on things. The Home for the Holidays Pumpkin kit was a treasure trove of elements waiting to be reimagined, allowing us to create something uniquely ours.

Each monthly kit is another adventure to experience and explore your creativity. That’s one reason I think it’s the perfect gift … whether their new to stamping and crafting or have years of experience.

Thank you for spending your time with me, and checking out my latest creation. Have a wonderful day.

Twelve Weeks of Christmas: Week 7 / Gifting Creativity

Posted in Christmas, Gift Giving ideas, Paper Pumpkin by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Looking for a unique gift that sparks creativity and brings loved ones together? Enter Paper Pumpkin – a delightful subscription box packed with everything needed to craft stunning projects. Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or a complete novice, Paper Pumpkin invites you to explore the joy of creating beautiful handmade crafts while making cherished memories with family and friends.

Let me share the fun of Paper Pumpkin with our October Christmas Kit ….

But why is Paper Pumpkin the perfect gift? Here are a few reasons:

  1. Shared Experience: Gifting a Paper Pumpkin subscription isn’t just about providing a crafting kit; it’s about sharing an experience. Imagine the joy of gathering around a table with family and friends, eagerly unboxing the latest kit, and embarking on a creative adventure together.
  2. Accessible Creativity: Not everyone feels confident in their crafting abilities, but Paper Pumpkin is designed for all skill levels. It’s a fantastic way to introduce loved ones to the world of crafting without overwhelming them. The guided instructions make it accessible and enjoyable for everyone involved.
  3. Monthly Surprise: The anticipation of receiving a new kit each month adds an element of excitement and surprise. It’s like unwrapping a present filled with creative possibilities every time the mailbox clinks!

Let’s take a closer look at the Alternative Projects. My first was a simple take on the card by just removing one of the house stacks ….

The second card I took the houses from the landscape card and paired it with a card base that was colored with a Blending Brush and then spritzed with Wink of Stella….

The third card used the cardbase from the houses of our second card and added the Beary Cute Bears! The greeting comes from the “So Very Merry” from the Online Exclusive line. I inked “each” word separately and stamped it. I also added a scarf and hat to my bear “after” the Facebook LIVE ended…. I also added some snow from the scrap glitter paper around the banners in the kit!!

So, how can you gift this wonderful experience? Consider presenting your loved ones with a Paper Pumpkin subscription. It’s a gift that keeps on giving, delivering monthly doses of creativity right to their doorstep. AND … to sweeten the deal, I have a special offer: when you purchase a Paper Pumpkin subscription for yourself or as a gift, you’ll receive a complimentary Paper Pumpkin Bag to enjoy yourself! It’s a gift to them, from you, and a little something for you too.

Join the Paper Pumpkin family today and spread the joy of creativity among your loved ones. Whether it’s a cozy family crafting session or a get-together with friends, Paper Pumpkin brings people together through the magic of creativity.
