I just can’t seem to get my Paper Pumpkin kits done before the 10th of the next month! But I still got it completed and now I’m sharing! Here is the July 2019 Paper Pumpkin Kit!!! Don’t start Red Box Pile Up and get your kit out now!!!

This card was super quick and simple to create as it is just layering the pieces on! For the Linen Thread, I just wrapped it around my fingers 2 times and then placed it over the dimensionals on the greeting! A tip for adding the dimensional adhesive piece on the wheel is to peel off the backing and place the wheel on. For the first one, I took the circle adhesive foam off and it lost it’s shape a bit. It was much harder doing it that way.

Just peel it off and place the wheel over the top and then pull it back out to put on your card!

I love the color combination in these cards. It’s soft colors but they also POP! It’s perfect! Also, my favorite part is those amazing sequins which come with adhesive backs! Woot Woot!

Now for the final card set in the July 2019 Paper Pumpkin kit! The texture on these card fronts is amazing! I love it. I added a bit of adhesive to the card and then pressed the leaves into it. Then I added the greeting over the top! It was super easy!

I’m a little bit behind on getting my June 2019 Paper Pumpkin Kit completed but it is done now! This kit wasn’t my favorite as I don’t have a huge need for mini cards that can’t be mailed. I still always complete the kits even if they aren’t my favorite because it gives me a reason to give out the cards. I will give one to the person at the Post Office, Dentist, neighbor, etc. Who wouldn’t love to get a little note to brighten their day! Another option might be that I put some cards in the little box and give it as a gift!

I am excited to have a beach themed stamp set in my craft room. I don’t normally buy beach themed stuff because I’m in Illinois and I don’t feel like it applies. You just never know when you might need an image like this though for that perfect someone.

One of the tips I would give for this kit is to not worry about securing the vellum, leaves, and sand dollars as much. For those items, I put a dab of adhesive down or a glue dot and stick the piece on it. Then I made sure the greeting went over it to super secure it. Don’t stress about trying to get that little bit image so secure. Another thing that I did differently is using the linen thread. I added little bows to one set and I tied some around the card on another set. The 2 sets with palm trees don’t have any linen thread.

The little coordinating envelopes is super cute too! I love them!!! Did you like the June 2109 Paper Pumpkin Kit?? Let me know in the comments.

Oh how I feel so behind on Paper Pumpkin because I usually like to post the previous month before the 10th of the next month! Sorry!!!! Either way, you should totally try out Paper Pumpkin any time of the year. Sign up now (before May 10th) to get the May Kit!!!!

These pop out cards were SOOOOO CUTE!!! I went ahead and pulled out my calendar to do certain numbers for upcoming birthdays!!! I had a few left over and decided to just do Happy 21st Birthday….then on the inside I put “…Again!” That works for any age above 21! I wrote in the cards too! I’m feeling so on top of things….now to just remember I did it when that person’s birthday comes! 🙂

The front decoration was super simple and fun to mix and match the labels and greetings! I think I added dimensionals to different layers than the directions stated but that’s okay!

The hardest part of the inside was probably all the folding and getting the cake to fold out while the rest folds in. Another tip when putting the pop out insert in is to place it inside the card, open one side and peel off the sticky. Close the card to have to attach. Flip over the card, open the flap, and peel off the sticky. Close the card. By doing it this way, it will close flat and position correctly. If you try to position it in there perfectly it might not close flat or it will be pushed in too far.

Another tip I have is to know that there are TONS of goodies in this kit. There are plenty of labels, numbers, and candles. I ended up tearing my candles apart for the top section and then realized there were small and large candle pieces. Silly Laura! Also, all the extra pieces can be used to make more cards! Woot Woot!

Have you tried out Paper Pumpkin??? It is so worth a try. Even if you only do it for 1 month!! You get a clear block with your first kit which is fabulous for this kit but all future stamping too! Stamp and Ink come in every box! Then there is the project which you can create just like the instructions say or you can use the pieces to create your own style. Try it out by clicking here!

My February 2019 Paper Pumpkin got delayed in the mail and I just got around to creating it. It was amazing as usual with the black and white look and fun use of plants. Quick and simple cards to put together and enjoy with a ton of supplies or time. That’s my kind of stamping sometimes!!!

These cards were super cute and easy to put together! I love the greetings and the rustic look with a little bit of bling. The color combination is perfect too with the greenery and then pops of Fresh Fig and Lemon Lime Twist.

I took this kit with me the other day when I traveled to my hometown for a Stamp Class. I knew I would have have some time to kill between set-up and actual class so I put this kit together! It was perfect!

My favorite card is the one on the far left with the YOU. I just love the look of it and that little bit of string and a few bling! I used the fun images in the stamp set for each of the envelopes to coordinate with the card. It turned out perfect. There are so many fun images and greetings in this stamp set!

If you would like to try out Paper Pumpkin, click here to join in the fun! You can try it out for 1 month or several. It is all up to you. Just cancel any time before the 10th of the month.

Paper Pumpkin is celebrating their 6th Birthday in March! Woot Woot! The box is going to be super cute and that always makes me excited. I love to use the fun, pretty boxes in my craft room for storage like Stampin’ Blends, etc.

Speaking of Paper Pumpkin boxes, did you know that you can turn the box inside out, pop it back together, and use it for mailing. No need to peel off labels or anything, it’s a perfect clean box. You can even write on it with a Sharpie since it’s more cardboard like rather than slick on the inside.

Did you know that you can store Paper Pumpkin stamps in Clear Mount Stamp Cases. Click here to purchase some! Stampin’ Up also sends out a stamp case insert each month for the set. This comes in the Paper Pumpkin Email. Here is the insert for the February Paper Pumpkin Stamp Set.
