Noel Greetings Paper Pumpkin Kit!!!

Posted on by

The October 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit was called Noel Greetings! It was a stunning Christmas Card kit which I love! Paper Pumpkin really knows how to prepare you for upcoming holidays in advance! THANK YOU, PAPER PUMPKIN!!! Wondering what Paper Pumpkin is?!?! It is a monthly subscription kit with a craft project and everything needed to create it all in a fabulous box. These kits are typically cards but sometimes include treat boxes, home decor, etc.

This kit came with 2 designs, 5 cards each design! I am not going to lie to you……this kit was HARD and not really my favorite! You will notice in the instructions that there is a lot of stamping. This surprised me a bit since some kits hardly have any but I’m a stamper and that was no problem. The real problem was that we were stamping in a random location in hopes to layer things on top and have that stamped image pop out in the right spot. I struggled with this a lot.

For the card above, I really liked this card! There are a lot more layers and texture than a typical Laura card but I like being pushed outside my comfort zone. I nailed it on the evergreen branches….2 in the upper left and 1 in the lower right. Then I stamped the tree and that was fine. Many of my trees were “floating” but also you could see it as trees up close and trees farther back so it looks good! No complaints there. THEN the instructions had me stamp the dash line kinda sort of diagonal on the right lower side. Ummmm WHAT?! I posted the best card but some of mine had that line way to low and some were up to high and covered by the greeting completely. It’s all good. Just because my card doesn’t look like the original doesn’t mean it is wrong!

Then came the second card in the Noel Greetings Kit. See that little peep of a holly leaf on the left hand side. Yeah, I didn’t get that stamped in the right spot on like any of my cards! So then I just moved forward and gave up on that step. It’s all good. The card is stunning with or without it! I also put my Season’s Greetings lower than the instructions to help with awkward spacing. Again, no one knows what the original looks like and it doesn’t have to match! Made with love, not perfection! And I love it…..even though it was hard and a little frustrating. 🙂

Laura’s Fall Retreat 2026

Posted on by

This past weekend was Laura’s Fall Retreat and it was AMAZING! I really look forward to these retreats each Spring and Fall!

Laura's Fall Retreat ,www.LaurasStampPad.com

We were at a new location this time and everyone agrees that this was a fabulous one!!!! We had beautiful daylight streaming in the windows and everyone loved the table layout so we could all feel more connected!

Many of us were working on Christmas cards but some were working on Stampin’ Up! Kit Collection Kits and some were working on Fabulous Friends Club Projects! One of the ladies worked on her grandson’s scrapbook! I always love flipping through her album to see how precious her little guy is but also the amazing layouts she creates! One of the ladies did LOTS of coloring all day long! Everyone had such fabulous projects to work on and I think we will all say that the fellowship and laughter was the best part!

I look forward to my Spring Retreat and hope to have a date soon! Also, let me know if you would be interested in a Retreat Kit To-Go if you aren’t local. I might try adding that in!

Shimmer Brushes!!!

Posted on by

When Stampin’ Up! launched Shimmer Brushes earlier this year, I was excited! Safe glitter is what I like to call these as well as Wink of Stella! The fact that these have color in them, makes them even more fabulous and fun to add color, detail, and a hint of shimmer!

Shimmer Brushes, www.LaurasStampPad.com

The card on the left is beautiful for sure but the card on the right has that hint of color and shimmer that takes it up a notch!!! Get out your Shimmer Brushes and let’s make some fabulous cards!

CARDSTOCK:
Crisp Cantaloupe Cardstock (card base): 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
Timid Tiger Cardstock (panel): 3-1/2″ x 4″
Very Vanilla Cardstock scraps (for die cuts)
Very Vanilla Cardstock (sentiment): 5/8″ x 3″

  1. Fold the 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ Crisp Cantaloupe Cardstock at in half to create the card base.
  2. Stamp the leaves with the Elegant Leaves Stamp Set on the 3-1/2″ x 4″ Timid Tiger Cardstock panel in Timid Tiger ink. Adhere it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals!
  3. On the Very Vanilla Cardstock scraps, stamp one leaf in Timid Tiger ink and another in Golden Glow ink. Die cut those leaves with the Elegant Leaves Dies and two others from Very Vanilla Cardstock. Adhere them to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals!
  4. Die cut the detail leaves from the Elegant Leaves Dies in Very Vanilla Cardstock scraps, color them with
    Golden Glow and Crisp Cantaloupe Shimmer Brushes, and adhere them on top of the other die-cut leaves.
  5. Stamp the sentiment from the Elegant Leaves Stamp Set in Golden Glow ink on the 5/8″ x 3″ Very Vanilla Cardstock. Trim the ends at an angle and adhere it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  6. Add Painted Patch Dots as desired!

Aspens of Gratitude!!!

Posted on by

The September 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit was called Aspens of Gratitude! These cards are just stunning and rather simple I thought! Wondering what Paper Pumpkin is?!?! It is a monthly subscription kit with a craft project and everything needed to create it all in a fabulous box. These kits are typically cards but sometimes include treat boxes, home decor, etc. Sign up by the 10th of the month and you will receive that month’s kit!

Aspens of Gratitude Paper Pumpkin Kit, www.LaurasStampPad.com

These cards are very masculine to me so I kind of wish there was a birthday greeting in the set! I always need masculine birthday cards! These greetings of beyond grateful and you are in my thoughts are fabulous too! Perfect happy mail cards to send in the Fall and Winter! Honestly the card on the left would make fabulous Thanksgiving Cards!

I felt like these cards were very easy to assemble! They used a million Stampin’ Dimensionals and you all know I always do anyway so it was perfect! The tricky part was lining up the frame to fit the edge of the cards. I almost wish there was a hint of a border so that it didn’t have to line up perfectly without falling off! So my tip to all of you is be careful putting that piece on!!! 🙂 You got this!!!

Let me know which card from the Aspens of Gratitude Kit is your favorite in the comments below! Be sure to get signed up for the October Paper Pumpkin before the 10th by clicking here!
