Inked Occasions Paper Pumpkin Kit!

Posted on by

The April 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit blew me AWAY! Oh my goodness! So first it arrived in a fun pink and purple stunning box. Then I opened it to Berry Burst tissue paper and the most stunning kit ever! This Inked Occasions Paper Pumpkin Kit is my favorite BY FAR….even more then March!

Inked Occasions Paper Pumpkin Kit, www.LaurasStampPad.com

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.

Look at these amazing colors and the little stamped butterflies!!! The added gold foil is the perfect POP of shine that I love! The fabulous greeting of HUGS is soooooo up my alley. I’m a hugger! Comment below if you are a hugger too!

April 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit, www.LaurasStampPad.com

Again, I’m blown away at the beautiful colors and that pop of gold foil in this card! The cut out greeting adds a fun flare that doesn’t take away from the background. Normally I’m not a huge fan of Congratulations cards because I never know how to use them. The added You are amazing makes this card perfect for any #happymail card sent to a friend on a random Monday!

Ink Occasions Paper Pumpkin Kit, www.LaurasStampPad.com

This one is fun and delicate as all of those flowers are a delicate die cut! Don’t worry though as it is held on with a few Stampin’ Dimensionals and the greeting over the top! I also added butterflies to the inside of each of these cards for some fun coordination!!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVED this Paper Pumpkin Kit….even after how much I loved last month! This one tops it. Can’t wait to see what the May Kit will be! Are you signed up?? Click here to join Paper Pumpkin and earn Stampin’ Up! Rewards with it as well!!!

Daisy Daydream!!!

Posted on by

The March 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit was called Daisy Daydream! I think this is my most favorite kit in a really long time. There were others I liked but this one I LOVED!!!! Never heard of Paper Pumpkin?? 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.

Daisy Daydream Paper Pumpkin, www.LaurasStampPad.com

I don’t even think I can rate these 3 cards in order of most favorite because I honestly love them all!!! The bees also look sooooo real it is insane! I almost forgot the little gold foil honeycomb that you can see popping out in the upper left corner and lower right corner. It’s okay if you forget, you can always use them with an alternative card you create with leftover pieces.

Daisy Flowers and Bumblebees, www.LaurasStampPad.com

TIP: For this card, you actually puzzle piece the coordinating flower on top of the printed flower giving this amazing 3D look. At first I didn’t realize that the flower images matched and needed to be lined up. It’s all good though! Such a beautiful card all around!!!

March 2025 Paper Pumpkin, www.LaurasStampPad.com

I love this card because it has a lot fewer things on it which really makes each element stand out more. You can see the beautiful details of the bee. The texture of that yellow embossed honeycomb is amazing too!!

Hello Spring Paper Pumpkin Kit!

Posted on by

The February 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit was called Hello Spring and it was just that! So fun and giving all of us encouragement that Spring is coming!!! It was perfect for February!

Hello Spring Paper Pumpkin Kit, www.laurasstamppad.com

This is probably my favorite but it is a close call with this one and the one below! I just love the look and the images. I was a big sad to cover up the words and part of the image though. But I think the look is amazing! The greeting is also just fabulous!!!

Spring Paper Pumpkin Kit, www.LaurasStampPad.com

This card was so fun and beautiful! It’s a great card to have on hand for the season to send to a friend or family member just to brighten their day! You might have noticed that my cards look a bit different from yours if you followed the instructions. I accidently picked the blue card base for the card above and didn’t realize it till I went to do this card. Can I blame it on the chaos of stamping with 2 children!?!? Either way, I thought it turned out amazing!

I’ll be honest this card was not my favorite. I love the look and the amazing greeting but I messed up the flowers. I was trying to follow the directions….too much and I’m not a fan of the look I created. Sometimes you just need to do your own thing and I should have.

Frosted Forest!!

Posted on by

I really struggle with masculine cards but found the Frosted Forest to be super fun and fabulous for making some! What do you think?!?!

The shades of green and plaid really add to the fabulousness in this card! The paper is from the Seasons of Green and Gold Designer Paper! Perfect for the holidays and then also all year long for cards like this!

SUPPLIES & MEASUREMENTS:
~Thick Basic White Cardstock – 8 ½” x 5 ½”
~Basic White Cardstock – scrap for die cutting rectangle and tree
~Pecan Pie Cardstock – scrap for punching greeting
~Season of Green & Gold Designer Paper – 4” x 5 ¼” (plaid) and 2” x 5 ¼” (green speckles) and scraps for inside the card if you wish

CARD INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Fold card base in half. Adhere plaid Designer Paper piece to the card front. Then add the green speckles Designer Paper down the center of the card front.
  2. Die cut a Deckled Rectangle or cut a rectangle (3” x 4 ¼”) and adhere to the card front.
  3. On another piece of scrap Basic White, create the large tree using the masks and Blending Brushes only (no stamping). I used Pecan Pie Ink for the base/#1 mask. Garden Green Ink was used for the leaves/#2 mask and Mossy Meadow Ink for the accent leaves/#3 mask. Then die cut the tree using the coordinating Frosted Forest Dies. Add the tree to the rectangle using Stampin’ Dimensionals only in the leaves (not on the trunk).  
  4. Punch out a greeting label of your choice from Pecan Pie Cardstock and stamp a greeting of your choice onto it in Pecan Pie Ink. I used the Labeled With Love Punch. Adhere to the card front over the trunk using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  5. Embellish with Faux Glass Dots as desired!
  6. Stamp or decorate the inside of the card as you wish!

Hearts for You!!!

Posted on by

The January 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit – Hearts for You was all about love and Valentine’s Day. I loved it so much because I LOVE sharing my love through hand-stamped cards!!! 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.

Hearts for You, www.LaurasStampPad.com

This was my favorite card because I just LOVE that greeting! It’s perfect for Valentine’s Day without specifically saying I love you. I am using these cards for the kid’s teachers!!! It’s perfect! The colors of red and pink together go so wonderfully as well!!!

January 2025 Paper Pumpkin, www.LaurasStampPad.com

This is my second favorite card. Be sure to stamp the little hearts before adding it to the card front. Since it is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals, stamping afterwards isn’t very easy. 😉 As you can see I loved this greeting so much, I used it for this card too!!!

Love You Paper Pumpkin, www.LaurasStampPad.com

This card is super cool with those popped up white on white hearts. I do have to say that as much as I love Valentine’s Day and love to share my love, this card seems a little too forward. This would be a card I would give close family or Brad. What about you??? Would you give this card to a cousin, an aunt, your in-laws??? Do you think this card is for your husband or child only? Let me know in the comments below!

I hope you enjoyed the Hearts for You January Kit! Be sure to get signed up for the February Paper Pumpkin Kit before the 10th of the month! Also, don’t forget that you can get a Pre-Paid Subscription and earn Sale-A-Bration goodies this month! WOOT WOOT!!! Click the links below!

The Notes from the Heart Kit was the perfect way to start off the New Year!!! The envelopes are all Mossy Meadow but came with these adorable scalloped rectangles for your address!!! LOVE IT!!! I created 2 of these blackberry cards because Claire created the other one! 🙂 It’s hard to tell in the photo but there is a fabulous layer of vellum too!

Notes From the Heart Paper Pumpkin Kit, www.LaurasStampPad.com
