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!

We'll be making Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas/Hanukkah cards! Think of it as card buffet on overload! But it doesn't stop there... you get time to make your own cards!

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!
