Oh how I feel so behind on Paper Pumpkin because I usually like to post the previous month before the 10th of the next month! Sorry!!!! Either way, you should totally try out Paper Pumpkin any time of the year. Sign up now (before May 10th) to get the May Kit!!!!

These pop out cards were SOOOOO CUTE!!! I went ahead and pulled out my calendar to do certain numbers for upcoming birthdays!!! I had a few left over and decided to just do Happy 21st Birthday….then on the inside I put “…Again!” That works for any age above 21! I wrote in the cards too! I’m feeling so on top of things….now to just remember I did it when that person’s birthday comes! 🙂

The front decoration was super simple and fun to mix and match the labels and greetings! I think I added dimensionals to different layers than the directions stated but that’s okay!

The hardest part of the inside was probably all the folding and getting the cake to fold out while the rest folds in. Another tip when putting the pop out insert in is to place it inside the card, open one side and peel off the sticky. Close the card to have to attach. Flip over the card, open the flap, and peel off the sticky. Close the card. By doing it this way, it will close flat and position correctly. If you try to position it in there perfectly it might not close flat or it will be pushed in too far.

Another tip I have is to know that there are TONS of goodies in this kit. There are plenty of labels, numbers, and candles. I ended up tearing my candles apart for the top section and then realized there were small and large candle pieces. Silly Laura! Also, all the extra pieces can be used to make more cards! Woot Woot!

Have you tried out Paper Pumpkin??? It is so worth a try. Even if you only do it for 1 month!! You get a clear block with your first kit which is fabulous for this kit but all future stamping too! Stamp and Ink come in every box! Then there is the project which you can create just like the instructions say or you can use the pieces to create your own style. Try it out by clicking here!

Happy Stampin’
