I know it’s July already but better late than never. Here’s the June 2020 Paper Pumpkin which was super fun!!!

Look at all of that bright, cheery, happiness!!! Isn’t it fabulous?? I was a bit upset that I had to cover up the solid gold foil sun in upper right hand cards but it’s okay! I love these card so much!!! Maybe not as much as last months cards but it’s close behind!

The right hand side cards and the lower left were all created as the instructions stated but the upper left were a creation all on my own! There were soooooooo many extra pieces from this kit that I just preferred to use them rather than stamp an image! I’m telling you that Paper Pumpkin is worth every penny because you get so much goodie!!! Stamps, an ink spot, and all the supplies to make 8 cards plus tons of leftover goodies. YES!!!

I think the Lemon Cards are my favorites although I really like the Pineapples ones too! That Gold Foil just really makes the cards pop and look so fancy! Which one is your favorite???

I know this is super late but I just had to share the May 2020 Paper Pumpkin because I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!! It’s super fabulous!!! For sure one of my top favorites of all time. If you want to check out past kits, click here!

You’re amazing and that’s a fact!!! This card is so bright and cheery and that greeting is perfect! I love this one the most! You might notice that my little Baker’s Twine bows POP more. I actually laid 2 pieces of the twine together and picked them up and tied a bow with the double strands. This really adds to it and makes it stand out more!

This is my second favorite card! You all know how much I love bright colors and these cards just make my heart happy! The other fabulous thing about these cards (and the stamps) is that they are perfect for generic #HappyMail cards. Just a simple Hey or You’re Amazing to brighten someone’s day!! Oh I also have to mention that those little asterisk/star shapes are embellishments! They are soft and bendy and totally not what I was expecting but perfect for mailing! 🙂

Times are tough, there is no doubt in that but every day we wake up is a happy day!!! Try to refocus and find the joy in every day! Send some fabulous cards to those you love or even complete strangers to share the joy! Sending cards is good for the soul for both you and the recipient, trust me and try it out!

PS: Thank you all for bearing with me during this crazy time. Finding a schedule to fit it ALL in has been hard. I love, miss, and appreciate all of you! I’m not going anywhere, just not always here blogging!

The February 2020 Paper Pumpkin – A Lovely Day was just that. I had a wonderful time making these 9 cards that are just amazing!

This set of cards is my favorite!!! I love the pretty flowers and polka dot background. The other cool thing about this set is that the stripes have a little tab and slides into the polka dot side for a fun opening. It is super cute!!! The envelopes with the stripes and rounded end opening are fabulous too!

This set of cards is the tricky ones. First I stamped the flower on the front and it lines up very well. Then I stamped the greeting on the label…no problem. When I went to assemble, my greeting was stamped to wear the lovely covered it up some. I ended up cutting the stamped label apart in order to make this work. My tip is to place the lovely down as a guide to see where you need to stamp the greetings.

This is the last set and while I love the fun cake, I almost wish I would have stuck with blues and greens for a set of masculine cards rather than adding in the Rococo Rose. They are still super cute though. The cake actually peeks through that die cut out hole!

Which set is your favorite from the February 2020 Paper Pumpkin Kit?? Let me know in the comments below! Want to get signed up for the March Kit, click here. The sneak peak for March is that it will be Spring, Weather, Rain Boots, AND it will include 2 stamp sets to celebrate Paper Pumpkin’s 7th Birthday!!!! Click here to check out past kits!!

I’m BACK!!! I actually got my Paper Pumpkin complete in the month! I think it’s been like 2-3 months since I’ve gotten it done like that. So without further ado….here is the January 2020 Paper Pumpkin!!!

Look at all of these goodies! This kit was for a sure a nice haul! There are 20 little treat bags with tags AND 10 mini cards and envelopes. I still had leftover goodies too. I love the colors because I think they go well for Valentine’s Day but also Spring. Those pastels are fabulous!

I think that these bags are super fabulous because the mint print on them is actually shiny foil AND it’s on the front and back. It’s a super fabulous touch and again perfect from now till Spring! The little tags were super easy to assemble. I would say tying them on was probably the hardest!

These mini cards are super cute and I even stamped on the envelopes with some Highland Heather Ink. It’s the perfect finishing touch! Another tip is that I used the Stampin’ Pierce Mat for the background image on the cards. This gives a nice smooth stamped image each time with such a large stamp. Stay tuned tomorrow to see this in action! I’ll admit I’m not a huge fan of mini cards but I’ll use them around Valentine’s Day or drop them in an order or something. You could always cut them up and place it on a full sized card base too! There are lots of possibilities with the January 2020 Paper Pumpkin Kit!

Join in the fun and get the February Paper Pumpkin Kit with me. It will be 9 full sized cards and it coordinates with the Happy Birthday to You Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set which is a cake.

This was my favorite Paper Pumpkin kit in awhile. I loved the colors and patterns. The best part of all was that the December 2019 Paper Pumpkin included 12 cards for all occasions! I was able to stock up on the ones I need the most.

Aren’t these amazing??? There are 4 of each of these cards and the adorable little envelopes too! You have florals (YIPPEEE), and masculine stripes, and polka dots. It’s like there is something for everyone! I love it. Did I mention the stamp set that came in the kit has 14 images. FOURTEEN! Paper Pumpkin is so fabulous! Click here to sign up and not miss another month of this fun!

So of course my favorite card is this floral one. You all know I love floral prints. The foil images were stickers which made this kit quick and simple. No crazy adhesive or glue needed. Just stick and go! This time of year, it was perfect to just create and get something done fast!

I struggle with masculine cards so I had to make these all birthday ones so I could bulk up my stash for the year. Haha These will last a month, maybe 2 with my big family. 🙂 Again, quick and simple with the stickers and yet a stunning look with that foil shine!

This one was probably the “hardest” if you want to call it that. Getting the spacing of the flowers correct so that the greeting fit in the middle was maybe a bit tricky. You can see each card has different spacing. You really have to look to see it though. This kit was just so much fun and quick!

I can’t wait to see the January kit so I can do my Valentine treats with it. Always shooting for Auntie of the year with my nieces and nephews! 🙂
