Fluttering Garden Kit!

Posted on by

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.

Fluttering Garden Paper Pumpkin Kit, www.LaurasStampPad.com

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!

Hummingbirds Paper Pumpkin, www.LaurasStampPad.com

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!

Mother's Day Paper Pumpkin Kit, www.LaurasStampPad.com

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!!!

Have you created your March 2026 Fluttering Garden Paper Pumpkin Kit?!?! Which card is your favorite? Let me know in the comments below!

Be sure to sign up for April Kit before the 10th of April!

Happy Stampin’

Embossing With Copper!

Posted on by

Heat Embossing with Copper….or any metallic is something that I LOVE but always forget to do! It seems I pull out my heat tool and use it a lot but then I put it back away and forget about it! Maybe I need a heat embossing station so I use it more! How about you?!?!

Embossing With Copper, www.LaurasStampPad.com
  1. Score the 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ Very Vanilla Cardstock at 4-1/4″ to create the card base. Adhere the large Designer Series Paper piece to the card base (at a slight angle)!!
  2. Stamp the flourish image in Petal Pink ink on the Petal Pink Cardstock square; adhere it over the Designer Series Paper using Stampin’ Dimensionals!
  3. Die cut the smaller squares from two different Designer Series Paper patterns using the Joyful Frames Dies. Stamp the sentiment of your choice in VersaMark ink on the smallest square. Add copper embossing powder and heat set. Adhere both pieces over the Petal Pink Cardstock square using Stampin’ Dimensionals!
  4. Swipe the VersaMark pad over the Very Vanilla Cardstock piece! Add copper embossing powder and heat set. Repeat this step three times to make the copper embossing thick and layered! On the fourth time, press the leaf image stamp into the hot embossing powder. Keep the stamp in place until the embossing powder is cool, then remove it! This leaves an impressed image that is sure to WOW!
  5. Die cut the leaf using the small circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies!
  6. Adhere the copper “medallion” to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals!
  7. Tie a bow with Linen Thread and adhere it under the medallion. Finish with copper embellishments for added shimmer!!!

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and give it a try! It’s such a WOW card and super fun! Let me know in the comments if you try it out or if you have created a medallion like this before!!!

Check out all of the supplies used below so you can do some embossing with copper! You can click each item for easy shopping or ADD ALL TO CART for even easier shopping! Don’t forget that you can earn special rewards when you shop with me! Fabulous Friends Club Perks when your order hits $40 or more and Laura’s Free Gift of the Month too when you order $75 or more!!!

Create Stamped Layers!

Posted on by

There are many different ways to create a card or scrapbook page or even a home decor piece! Some enjoy a more clean look. Designer Series Paper gives a fabulous background. Others create stamped layers with different images, colors, and creations! Which one are you?!?!

Create Stamped Layer, www.LaurasStampPad.com

This card uses all the fun images and colors for a beautiful background!! Gather your favorite stamp set or the one used in this card – Gears & Textures Stamp Set and let’s get started!

Step 1: Stamp textures from the Gears & Textures Stamp Set in Pretty in Pink, Gray Granite, Bubble Bath, and Timid Tiger ink (in that order) on the Very Vanilla Cardstock (4″ x 5 1/4″), let the ink dry. Stamp the texture pattern from the Beautifully Celebrated Stamp Set using VersaMark ink. Sprinkle white embossing powder over the stamped areas, tap off the excess, and heat emboss to reveal the texture. Stamp the leaf image in Shaded Spruce ink and color in the buds with Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Blends! Fussy cut this piece out and then adhere.

Step 2: For the greeting, die cut a piece of scrap Basic White Cardstock using the Beautifully Celebrated Dies and adhere it with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Step 3: Stamp the sentiment with VersaMark ink on a strip of Bubble Bath Cardstock, sprinkle with white embossing powder, shake off the excess, and heat set with your Heat Tool. Adhere the sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a sprinkle of embellishments, a Baker’s Twine bow, and a Designer Series Paper strip to the bottom as desired!!

  4. Wrap a piece of 7-1/2″ x 2-3/8″ Designer Series Paper around the album and adhere the ends together to create a belly band!

Special Delivery!!!

Posted on by

The January 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit was called Special Delivery! 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.

Special Delivery Paper Pumpkin January 2026, www.LaurasStampPad.com

This one is my favorite card because I love that stunning rose! I created the kit with my 7 year old daughter and she was bothered by the fact that the stamped images were slightly covered. That’s okay and kind of the point, I told her. LOL You could always leave off the Happy Valentine’s greeting and this card would be perfect for Anniversary, etc.

Postage Stamp Special Delivery Paper Pumpkin, www.LaurasStampPad.com

This card was super fun to add each of those little postage stamps to the card front! I love the look and the flowers!!! It seems the postage stamp image is very popular right now! Would you agree? Are you loving that look too?!

Sending Love Paper Pumpkin, www.LaurasStampPad.com

This card is a favorite because I love the greeting Sending Love. So sweet and loving and warm for the recipient for sure! I will be sending this for sure this Valentine’s Day! Valentine’s Day is special and full of love and that’s why I enjoy it so much! Spread love!!!
