I am SO excited to share a sneak peek of the April Paper Pumpkin Kit – Lakeside Retreat!

If you’re anything like me, you know that masculine cards can be a struggle… but this kit makes it EASY (and honestly, really fun!). I enjoy doing my kit with my daughter Claire! It’s easy to just grab it for a quick evening project after school!

This month’s kit features calm, lakeside-inspired designs that are perfect for creating thoughtful cards for the men in your life—without overthinking it.

Here’s what’s included:
• Printed card bases with peaceful, masculine designs
• Coordinating envelopes
• Precut paper pieces (hello, easy crafting 🙌)
• Enamel pebble embellishments
• A 2026–2028 In Color Ink Spot
• Coordinates beautifully with the Waterside Retreat Suite Collection

Whether you’re crafting for Father’s Day, birthdays, or just because—this kit has you covered!

🚨 Important Reminder:
You must subscribe by April 10th to get this kit—after that, it’s gone! Click here!

Happy Stampin,

I feel like I say this a lot but I love the March 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit – Fluttering Garden! The hummingbirds are just stunning (and I didn’t have to color them)! It’s fabulous! What is Paper Pumpkin you ask?! 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 card is probably my favorite mostly because here are 3 hummingbirds on it and they are just so beautiful! I love the gray stamped background and then hint of shine with the embellishments! TIP: For this card, you will stamp the grassy flower image along the bottom. You can stamp left to right but I find stamping in the middle and working my way out to work better with spacing!

For this card, I’m so grateful to Stampin’ Up! for creating a light gray circle on the card front. This is where you stamp the floral image twice. Without that circle as a guide of where/how to stamp, I would have totally been all over the place! Simple and fabulous! Claire even did this kit with me and she nailed it! I love our time together each month creating Paper Pumpkin!

The best thing about Paper Pumpkin for me is that I can sit and craft without having to come up with the project or pull a million things out! The second best thing is that Paper Pumpkin sets me up for future holidays! This kit had 3 of these cards in it so I’ve already got a good start on my Mother’s Day cards! If you are thinking but I only have 1 mom and don’t need 3 cards, send a card to anyone who is a mother to celebrate her and tell her she is doing a good job. Every mom wants to hear that!!!

The February 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit – Celebrate Spring is like my favorite kit…….of all time! Okay maybe I can’t say that but boy is it my favorite lately! I LOVE Spring and Easter is my favorite holiday! This kit just nailed it for me!!! What is Paper Pumpkin you ask?! 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.

I am going with this one as my favorite but honestly I love them all! The bunny is soooo cute and that floral oval! It’s just fabulous and it wasn’t a difficult one to make either! Woot Woot! This kit coordinates with the Easter Joy Suite from the Mini Catalog!

The perfect little #happymail card for the Spring Season! If you enjoy making cards, be sure to send them out! Let others experience the joy of the card as well! 🙂 I love that I enjoy making cards and then when I send them, others enjoy the cards too! It’s a win win for all! <3 My tip for this card is to be careful with your Stampin’ Dimensional placement on your flowers so that you aren’t double popped up!

This is another fabulous card that you could stamp Happy Easter on or this Sweet Spring Greetings image! This would also be an adorable baby card! There are lots of flowers and greenery pieces for each of these cards! You could easily save a few for another project!

The November 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit was called Wrapped in Cheer and it included gift boxes and tags! What is Paper Pumpkin you ask?! 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.

My daughter who is 7 helped me with this kit as she does every month! We really enjoy this special time together! While, I am not sure what I’m going to do with the boxes since I don’t give a lot of gift cards, she wants them all for who knows what! If you need help creating the boxes, check out this video! I have heard that chocolate would fit in there nicely!

As for the tags, I am loving them!!! They are so beautiful and will be perfect for the neighbor gifts that we will deliver next month! I love that each of the die cuts had a light and dark side of green so you could mix and match them! Also, I have a big TIP for the tags above!!! Place the ribbon down first because then you can put the Merry Christmas greeting over the top! I added the greeting first and then my ribbon covered the greeting so I had to slide in under the greeting. Luckily it went between two Stampin’ Dimensionals just perfectly!

The instructions for this card didn’t use the Merry Christmas greeting but there were plenty left over so I added it in! I just love the greenery and look of these tags! They are detailed but not over the top! So beautiful!

Have you created your Wrapped in Cheer November 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit yet?!? Let me know in the comments below! Also, stay tuned because Stampin’ Up! is having a fabulous Cyber Monday Sale that starts on December 1 and it includes a major discount on Paper Pumpkin Subscriptions! WOOT WOOT!

The October Paper Pumpkin Kit was called Cozy Christmas and it is just what I needed to get started on my Christmas Cards!! There were 9 total cards all cozy and fuzzy!! 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.

I think this tree was my favorite because it was easy and fun to create with the flocked branches! Lots of dimensionals which you know I love so very much! Have faith in your stamping because I have faith in you too! I was super nervous about stamping that greeting perfectly on the die cut image but it was easier than I thought! I nailed it! You can too! Also, there is an extra just in case you do make a boo boo! 🙂

This was my second favorite because it is just stunning! The flowers and greenery are the fuzzy flocked images! Adding JOY to the die cut was pretty easy as well with the Mini Glue Dots provided in the kit! It’s super fun that these kits come with everything you need! Claire and I did these at the kitchen table as soon as the box arrived! No extra supplies needed……except maybe a Bone Folder if you use! As always there are a few supplies that make these kits a bit easier or that come in handy but it’s not necessary! Check out my recommended supplies below!

I love this card too but I put it in 3rd place mostly because I boo booed this card! At first, I added the Cherry Cobbler ornament outline to the card front. Luckily, I was able to pop it back off and add it to the flocked ornament base. It was my fault because I prefer to just look at the photos and not actually read the instructions. LOL

Did you enjoy this Cozy Christmas Paper Pumpkin Kit?!?! Be sure to sign up for the November Kit so you can enjoy tags and boxes!!! You also earn Stampin’ Rewards on your Paper Pumpkin Subscription too! Woot Woot! You can use those rewards on some of the “helpful tools” you can get to make creating your Paper Pumpkin even easier!

The September Paper Pumpkin Kit was called Fall for Toile and it was just perfect! There were 9 total cards perfect for the Fall Season! 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.

I love a good Thinking of You card because I love this greeting! It’s great for sympathy, get well, general #happymail and more! It’s perfect! The added pop of the pumpkins and fox give it a bit of texture too!!

This card just screams Fall with all the leaves! I love the added texture with the foil leaves and ribbon! The greeting is super sweet as well! Tis the season of leaves and colors changing and this card is perfect for that from now till the end of November…..at least I think so! 🙂

I grew up in the country and we had big pastures with trees in them….some in a cluster and some just standing out there alone. This card takes me back to seeing those big oak trees standing tall and proud and just stunning! I love seeing a big tree and just find it so majestic! This would make a fabulous Thanksgiving Day card!!!

Did you create your September Paper Pumpkin Fall for Toile yet?!? It’s a fabulous one and Claire and I enjoyed creating it! The October Paper Pumpkin Kit is called Cozy Christmas! I love how Paper Pumpkin sets you up for all the upcoming seasons and holidays! Be sure to sign up before October 10th!!!

The August 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit Farmhouse Florals was just beautiful! I loved the simple floral images and all the layers to create a realistic look! Check out the 3 different card styles below! Wondering what Paper Pumpkin is?!?! It is a monthly subscription kit with a craft project and everything needed to create it all in a small box. These kits are typically cards but sometimes include treat boxes, home decor, etc.

I think this was my favorite of the three cards! The layered look of the bag and flowers really made it POP and look amazing! My tip for this card was to be careful about the placement of the flowers or better yet add the bag and strap first. For some reason I added the bag and then flowers and then the strap. My flowers and strap bumped into each other and I had to do some squishing around! LOL

The fabulous look of the paper coming out of the typewriter is just amazing! I love the look so much! Also, that fun background border is super fun and could be used on the inside of the cards, on the envelopes or even on other cards you can create with the stamps! LOVE LOVE LOVE! Also, speaking of love, this kit came with Secret Sea as the ink spot and that is sooooo my favorite color right now!

This final card was probably the easiest one! Simply stamp that fun background image and then add the die cut floral piece. TIP: For the greeting, add a single dimensional on the left side and then add just a dab of adhesive on the right side. This creates a nice smooth greeting over the popped up floral vases. I love it!

I hope you enjoyed this August Farmhouse Florals Kit! Of course you can always check out my Facebook Page for alternatives.
