Check Out the November My Paper Pumpkin Kit!

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while!  My son created a Google account on my computer and I have had a hard time getting into my blogger account.  Finally figured it out today!  Great timing too!  I just got My Paper Pumpkin kit for November in the mail today and I just had to share the video! These kits make an absolutely awesome holiday gift! Did you know you could purchase a My Paper Pumpkin subscription as a gift?  Check out the video to see what this month's lit has to offer!

Paper Pumpkin Too Cute!!

Have you subscribed to My Paper Pumpkin yet?  If not, here is something you are missing!  February's kit came in perfect time for me to put together an adorable gift bag for my upline's birthday.  I used one of the stamps I got in my kit to make a simple coordinating card to go with it.  This month brought some new features to the kit: more value in each kit and photopolymer stamps for a better cling to your clear block.

Now is a perfect time to try out My Paper Pumpkin.  If you sign up for My Paper Pumpkin as a new subscriber prior to March 31, 2014.  You will receive a free set of in-color markers with your Welcome Kit.  The nice thing about My Paper Pumpkin  is you can cancel at anytime or you can opt out from month to month if you need to take a break.  I love receiving a little surprise in my mailbox each month and it has been the perfect thing to reach for when I am in a pinch and need a quick card or project.  Click on my link to the left to sign up for your kit today!

Paper Pumpkin Monday: An Alternative with August's Kit

Here is a quick and easy Paper Pumpkin card to jump start your work week.  Today's card uses the August kit.  I was so excited to receive mine last week before I headed up to the Cape.  I just popped it into my bag when it arrived.  You can imagine my disappointment when I broke it open and realized I forgot my Clear Block!  I was so bummed that I could not enjoy a few moments of stamping when my sister took my kids for a jog!  So lesson to all: DON'T FORGET YOUR BLOCK!!

This card is an alternative to the one offered in the kit this month.  The only additional supply you need is Whisper White cardstock and Stampin' Dimensionals.  I stamped the sentiment and bike on the Whisper White.  I hand trimmed the sentiment and mounted it with the dimensionals.  The Crushed Curry sticker strips were trimmed to fit along the top and bottom of the piece with the bike.  I love this bike stamp!  Once I am done with the kit, I will be using the bike on some of my scrapbooking pages.  My Cub Scout den (one of my activities in all my spare time :) ) had a Bike Rodeo this past spring.  I am quite sure I can incorporate this stamp into those pages!

You only have a few more days to take advantage of Paper Pumpkin for $10+tx.  This offer is ending on 8/31/13.  You can sign up by clicking on my link to the left.

Don't forget to join me on the Late Night Stamper Fall Treasure Hunt!  See my two posts from 8/24 for details how you can win a Stampin' Up! shopping spree.

Paper Pumpkin Monday

Today, I have another alternative idea for you when making cards with your Paper Pumpkin Welcome kit.  For this card, you just need some additional Old Olive cardstock for matting your "hey there friend" piece.  Another trick I used for this card was that I cut my banner sticker in two and cut out the banner points on the second piece to make it appear that I used two banner strips.

Paper Pumpkin is fun to use as is or by altering it!  Don't forget to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin before August 31 to get it at $10+tax for the first two months (shipping included in the price).  Just click on my Paper Pumpkin link at the left to get started!

Alternative Pumpkin Idea

So as promised, here is an alternative idea for making your cards in you Paper Pumpkin Welcome Kit.  For this card, I cut down the banner stickers and the background paper to accommodate the card.  I added a little piece of linen thread from my stash to the button for a little added attention.  Don't be afraid to play with your Paper Pumpkin and modify your projects.  I love how quickly I can put together the contents of my kit.  As a mother of two, time is a precious commodity, but it is nice to fit in that little time of crafting fun just for me!  I was able to work on my cards while the kids played at the playground this summer.  All I had to bring was my little box and my adhesive!  Paper Pumpkin can be a great creative escape for moms on the go!

A Little Pumpkin at Your Door

Today's card is a sample of what you get when you subscribe to our monthly Paper Pumpkin kit club.  This is the card you can make with our Welcome kit when you join.  Each kit contains everything you need to make the month's selected project (precut paper, ink, stamps and accessories) with an exception of adhesive.  The Welcome Kit also contains an acrylic block you can use for mounting all your Paper Pumpkin stamps.

This is the best time to try Paper Pumpkin!  If you are a new subscriber, you can get Paper Pumpkin for $10+tx per month for the first two months.  This is about 50% off the original price. What a deal!  The great thing about this monthly kit club is you can skip a month when life gets busy with absolutely no penalty!  Just be sure you opt out by the 10th of the month if you need a month off.

Today's card is the design Stampin' Up! gives you with your Welcome Kit.  Watch the rest of the month on Mondays for some alternative ideas of how you can use your Welcome Kit.  If you are ready to sign up for Paper Pumpkin, select the link on the left side of my blog.  Be sure to select me as your demonstrator when asked.
