A First for Paper Pumpkin!

I travel at least once a month for my Scottish import business and having a kit that I can tuck into my laptop bag just in case I have time to craft is amazing!

I've been a Paper Pumpkin subscriber since the beginning - five years! - and although I do have a few kits that I still haven't completed, I so look forward to seeing what the next month will bring! Yes... it's hard for me not to know what's coming, so I appreciate when Stampin' Up! gives us little sneak peeks - especially THIS sneak peek!

OMGosh I am SO flippin' excited June's kit coordinates with a product suite from the upcoming 2018-2019 annual catalog! While I can't tell you which one (yes, I know it stinks... but if you were a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, you would know, too), I can tell you... if this Paper Pumpkin kit deserves an award, it would be a... ummm... nope, can't tell you - that would give it away! I'm so mean! Tee hee!

If you're not already a subscriber, be sure to sign up by June 10 to get this fun kit that will have you doing high kicks!

Fall Into Savings

I've been a subscriber of Paper Pumpkin since the beginning... and although not all of the projects have been my style, I've enjoyed having a kit to take with me anytime I've needed a little something crafty to fill my time. Paper Pumpkin has gone with me on business trips (this happens almost every month), to the park when I just need to get out and get some fresh air, and to my son's kickboxing lesson... this is my favorite because I get to create with my friend Pam - she brings her kit, too.

The only regret I have about being a Paper Pumpkin subscriber already is... I don't get to take advantage of specials like the one going on now. LOL!

Seriously though... this is an amazing deal! If you've never subscribed to Paper Pumpkin before, why not try it now? Click here to sign up and take advantage of the savings! There is no obligation to continue receiving Paper Pumpkin after your first month, but honestly... why wouldn't you?

If you have any questions, or still aren't sure if you are ready to be a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, please reach out to me and I'll answer any questions you may have.

Have a crafty day!

Paper Pumpkin is so Sweet!

I love my Paper Pumpkin subscription - I look forward to it every month! And after seeing the video for January's kit, I wish I had been able to increase my subscription to two (or three... tee hee!). Alas, I can hope kits and/or refills will be available soon (just so you know... past kits and refills are exclusive to Paper Pumpkin subscribers only. So it's not too late to sign up and buy past kits, or pre-pay for February's kit).

I'll post alternative projects as soon as I receive my kit and create something fun! In the meantime, if you want to experience all the fun Paper Pumpkin has to offer, visit the MyPaperPumpkin.com and sign up. Or, head over to my online store where a 3-month subscription is only $54.85 (regular price $59.85) - and qualifies you for a FREE Sale-a-Bration item! Oh, and don't forget that shipping is included (tax is not), so that's an extra bonus!

See... I really do love Paper Pumpkin!

Have a happy day... stamping!

Paper Pumpkin Palooza!

It was a fun Friday night breaking out the Paper Pumpkin kits! All of the attendees were new to the Paper Pumpkin phenomenon... and after last night, they're all hooked! We even had a young crafter get into the craze!

Of course we had so much fun that I didn't have the chance to take many pictures, but that's a good sign, isn't it?

I had a few past kits on display so everyone could see the variety and quality of projects. And BTW, the card file pictured below is a CASE from Lyssa Zwolanek, fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator who comes up with the most amazing projects. I'm in awe of her talent!

If you're interested in learning more about Paper Pumpkin, click HERE. It's a fresh, fun way to craft. Stampin' Up! has taken out all the stress of designing and prepping. When I travel on business, I usually take a box or two with me. Everything (except scissors and adhesive) is included and ready to create.

Happy stamping!

Half Off... It's a Wonderful Thing!

Have you tried Paper Pumpkin yet? I must say, I honestly love these kits! I didn't think I would, because I don't usually like surprises (unless it's for my birthday). Not knowing what the kit is going to be each month was difficult, but I'm now to the point where I look forward to the surprise. Okay, okay... here's the truth:  I'm one of those people who cannot miss out on the newest Stampin' Up! thing! I've been a subscriber from the beginning and I have to say, I'm glad I stuck with it. Each kit is better than the last (in my opinion)!

Still not convinced to try it?  How about if it were half off for two months? That's the best reason to try it... it's like buying one and getting one free! Just visit my Paper Pumpkin site and enter HALFOFF2 as your promo code. But hurry... you only have until September 10 to take advantage of this promotion.

Still need another incentive? I will send you a free SNAIL adhesive (your choice of full or refill) when you become a Paper Pumpkin subscriber and choose me as your demonstrator! And just in case you are like me and need a sneak peek... here's a glimpse at September's kit:

A couple of things to keep in mind... this is for new subscribers only. If you've already had a Paper Pumpkin account, it is tracked by your e-mail address. Also, Paper Pumpkin cannot deliver to post office boxes, as a physical address is needed. Perhaps you can have it shipped to your office, or to a friend!

There is no commitment, and you can skip a month - or cancel at any time... but why would you?

If you have any questions, just ask!

Congratulations Paper Pumpkin!

That's right! I'm congratulating Paper Pumpkin. Why? Because it got me to make a card for someone special - who did something amazing - and it was the perfect kit!

Who's that someone special? My dad! And what did he do that was so amazing? He ran and was elected to his neighborhood council! How inspirational to know (and be related to) someone who feels they can make a difference in their neighborhood, city, county, state, etc. and actually do something about it! I've never been like that, but perhaps I should start! Naw... I think I'll leave that to my dad and I'll focus on publishing consistent blog posts about stamping. But I will continue to cheer him on and this card is going in the mail today!

March's Paper Pumpkin kit included wooden words (3 of each) - "thank you" and "congrats." I colored the "congrats" with the gold Encore pad, then embossed it to set the color (I suppose I could have used the gold embossing powder). The kit also came with gold envelope liners, which I used to cut the banner and stars. I love the card in person - and I hope my dad does, too!

Paper Pumpkin had a bad reputation in the beginning, but like any of its other loyal subjects, I kept up my subscription... and I'm glad I did! Stampin' Up! has listened to subscriber feedback and the kits are so much better! If you haven't tried Paper Pumpkin yet, you really need to!  I'm waiting for April's kit (I ordered 3), and will post pictures (I swear)!

Do you want to order your own Paper Pumpkin subscription? If so, please visit mypaperpumpkin.com. If you sign up as a new user in April and designate me as your demonstrator, I will put your name in a drawing for a Paper Pumpkin kit from February!

Have a great day - now go stamp! :)

Have you Tried Paper Pumpkin Yet?

I received my Paper Pumpkin box and squealed when I opened it! Free gift? What??? And how did they know I love buttons? Tee hee! Usually I stick pretty close to the instructions and pictures when putting my kit together, but this time I am going to try to step out of the box. As soon as I'm finished putting my cards together, I'll definitely post pictures!

 

If you haven't tried Paper Pumpkin yet, you might want to! Don't forget to sign up before February 10 to get a FREE set of markers! Details can be found HERE. Pictured below is your welcome kit. If you decide to continue your subscription, you will receive a new shipment every month. So much fun!

Thank you for stopping by! Now go stamp. :)

Paper Pumpkin Gets Even Better!

Just getting back from Leadership in Houston, TX and still processing all the information, going through swaps and catching up on sleep! I'll be posting pictures and revealing some amazing news little by little, but first up is a super promotion you won't want to miss!

If you haven't tried Paper Pumpkin yet, you will definitely want to sign up before February 10!  Why???  I have seen the kits for February and March and they are ADORABLE!! I wish we could have taken pictures, but part of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is being sworn to secrecy about certain things.  But you'll be glad I am. Imagine being surprised every month by a new project. They call it your 30-minute creative escape. You won't receive February's kit, but instead you will receive the welcome kit pictured below. However, I will have a limited number of extra February kits, so (while supplies last) you can buy one directly from me (and I will even pay the shipping to you).

But wait! There's more! If you sign up before February 10, you will receive a FREE set of 2012-2014 In Color Markers (that's a value of $14.95)!

Try it for a month or two, and see what fun you can have with Paper Pumpkin! Click HERE to get more details and sign up!

Thanks for stopping by, now go stamp! :)
