The July 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit was called Hooray for Birthdays and they were pop up cards! Sooooo fabulous and perfect to send to someone so they can display it all month long!!! 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 card is probably my favorite because I just love all of the little flowers! I couldn’t believe at how much of a difference that little yellow center made to the look of the flowers! Stunning without it and WOWZA with it! This card was the first one Claire and I created and it did take some time sorting out which flowers went with which card!

This card is my second favorite! I love the blues and bouquet look of the flowers! I will say my biggest tip is to place the bouquet stems on the card on the far left side and then add the Happy greeting! This will ensure you have enough room for the greeting and won’t get into the flowers like I did!

Even though this is the last card, I still loved it!!! My biggest tip for this one is to place the Hooray down first in order to help with spacing! It was tight as I did the flowers first! Another funny thing about these cards is that because they are a pop up card with the inside greeting holding it up, getting that inside greeting straight is more important. I just popped mine in like I always do and then I finished the card and popped it up and you can see it’s a hint off if your greeting is crooked! LOL Handmade with love, not perfection!

The June 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit was called Bikes & Blooms! 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.

Honestly, I loved all of these so I don’t think I can rank them! LOL The instructions have you add the yellow bike panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals. But wait there is more…..dimensionals on the back basket, the front basket, the flowers, and the greeting! WHAT?!?! I just suggest you use them as you wish! LOL I loved the little butterflies on this card too!!!

Now for this card, I actually put the bike on flat rather than with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Gasp! I know I know. You all know how much I love my Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added them to the flowers on the basket and the greeting! There was a Best Wishes greeting but Claire and I decided to do Thank you instead! Also, don’t forget to tie the twine around the bike basket before adding that to the card front! No worries, if you forget, you can always tie a bow and stick it on with a Mini Glue Dot!

This is another one that I mixed it up from the instructions! I put my bike on flat and the polka dotted strip on flat! The basket of flowers and the greeting circle are popped up! I will say I wish the butterflies were different. They are a very muted silver blah…..in my opinion. I wish they were shiny or even a color rather than silver. Let me know in the comments what you thought of the butterflies!

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.

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.

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?!

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!!!

The December 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit was called Watercolor in Bloom! 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 my favorite from the kit because of the greeting! How heartwarming and fabulous to send or receive this card?!? I just love it! The blues and greens were really fun and a great color combination as well! There is a vellum layer that is subtle but also adds that little hint of texture!

This card is my second favorite because of that fun floral trim! It just adds to much fun detail to the card! I love it! It was super fabulous of Stampin’ Up! to give us additional White greeting pieces to stamp on! This way if a mistake is made, it’s not on the actual project…..and you can flip it over and try again! Thank goodness there are 2 sides to every piece of paper! 🙂

This thank you card is not your average thank you note. Not only was it handmade but it that greeting is so powerful and heartfelt! I struggled with this card and when I stamped the leaves for peaking out of the floral corner, I stamped them too high and didn’t have room for my greeting! Thank goodness for the other side!
