Paper Pumpkin - Framed Love

I am totally in love with last month's Paper Pumpkin project.  I think this frame is just too stinkin' cute.  I'm definitely not giving it as a gift - as it was designed to be!

Paper Pumpkin Kits are designed to be quick and easy.  Stampin' Up! designed them for those of you who may not have a ton of time or supplies but want to inject a little crafting time into your busy life.

I timed myself as I created the masterpiece over there on the right.  It took 15 minutes from the time I opened the box to the time I posted the finished project on Facebook.  Yes.  Seriously.  You got 15 minutes?  Oh, and that also includes the addorable packaging which is shown in the photo below.

While the kit only came with 1 frame, it actually came with enough supplies to make two of these!  So, if you wanted to make a second, you only had to run out to your local big box store and in 30 minutes, you'd have two completed projects!

If you want to join in on the fun and get your first kit next month, be sure to subscribe by tomorrow, May 10th!  If you miss that date, no worries, your first kit will ship in June. 

Are you a current subscriber and received this kit and want to make more?  Good news!  The refill kits  are available for purchase (click here to view the list of refill kits)!  The refill kit comes with everything (yes, including the frame) that your original kit did except for the ink pads and stamp set - which you don't really need two of anyway!  Oh, and the refill kit is only $7.95!!!!!   To order these kits, Paper Pumpkin subscribers must call Demonstrator Support during normal business hours (Monday - Friday 7 AM - 7 PM Mountain Time) at 1-800-STAMP UP (1-800-782-6787).

Here's a photo of the full contents of the Framed Love kit (not pictured are the glue dots and dimensionals).

Exciting Options for Paper Pumpkin!

Starting today you can now prepay for Paper Pumpkin (and save).  This has several perks - you can more easily give the gift of Paper Pumpkin - just in time for Mother's Day!  AND, you can now earn Hostess Benefits when you include the prepaid subscription in a qualifying order!  How aweomse is that?  For example, if you purchase a 12-month subscription, you'll earn $30 in free Stampin' Up! products AND you'll save $24 on the subscription!  That's like getting over 1 month absolutely FREE!!!

Item	Paper Pumpkin Prepaid Subscription	Price (Shipping Included)

January's Paper Pumpkin Kit - and FREE STUFF!!!

NOTE:  Be sure to read this whole post so you know about all of the freebies you can get and maybe even win! 

I received this month's Paper Pumpkin kit last week but I finally took some time last night to put the cards together.  The cards are super fun this month.  I LOVE the colors.  We received supplies to make 4 cards but we have TONS of extra stickers and doilies leftover!  I made up 2 of the cards - 1 of each style so that I could share them with you!  What you can't see in the photo to the right is the INSIDE of the card!  You'll have to imagine it.  But, if you look at the photo below it might help! 

This month's kit came with 2 identical sheets of stickers, a 3-piece stamp set, 4 doilies, 4 card bases, 4 envelopes, and a Basic Grey Ink Spot.  HOWEVER, as an added bonus, we all also received a free package of 2013-2015 In Color Boutique Details!  They coordinate with the cards.  Unfortunately, I forgot to include them in the photo below.  BUT...I took the photo AFTER I made the cards above.  That's right...I have all of that pictured below left over!!!!

Speaking of free stuff, did you know that if you subscribe to Paper Pumpkin between now and February 10th, you'll receive a free package of 2012-2014 In Color Markers (a $14.95 value) in your Welcome Kit???  Now...I've seen the upcoming kits...and they're amazing!  Stampin' Up! is switching to photopolymer stamps in the kits which reduces the cost of the stamps....which means more products in the kits for you!  Keep in mind there's absolutely NO commitment involved when you subscribe.  You can put your subscription on hold or cancel at any time! 

But that's not all!!!  I actually ordered THREE of January's kit so I have two unopened kits (including the free boutique details) sitting around.  I thought I'd give them away!!!  So, here's how I'm doing it...if you subscribe to Paper Pumpkin by February 10th through me, you'll be entered to win!  Once the kits mail out in February (because then I can see my full list of subscribers), I'll draw two names and send the January kit pictured above to you!!! 

Get a FREE Set of Markers!

December My Paper Pumpkin Kit and Alternate Kit Ideas

Thanks to the UPS issues and the holiday, it took a little longer than usual to get the December My Paper Pumpkin kits - at least here in South Jersey.  I didn't receive mine until Monday.  I had seen a preview of what was included in the kit in a video online (you can see it below).

Last month I FINALLY changed my subscription to send me multiple kits each month.  I've seen all kinds of fun, alternate ideas that some people have come up with from the previous months' kits.  And, after I saw the gorgeous patterned paper in this kit, I was so glad I had extras! 

Pictured to the right is the album I put together.  I think I'm going to fill it with all kinds of daily memories from 2014.  And, because I have a spare kit, I have extra pages and tabs!

But, if you're not a fan of this album, I wanted to show you some cards I made using the stamp set, stickers, and patterned paper from the kit.  And, there are a couple of new products from the 2014 Occasions Catalog included as well! 

What I'm MOST excited about is the Summer Starfuit layer behind the sentiment cut out using the Chalk Talk Framelits on the card on the left.  I used the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch for the top and bottom.  The paper measured 3-1/4" x 2" to get that border.  I'm not sure if anyone has come up with that or not yet.  I don't do much blog surfing these days.  So, I came up with that all on my own!  How fun is that?  I'm sure you'll be seeing that layer from me much more over the next few months!

My Paper Pumpkin - November 2013

Wow!  I was so excited to get this month's My Paper Pumpkin kit in the mail.  I definitely think it's the best one yet - and it seems that everyone I've talked to agrees.  The sentiment is adorable - it'll be making an appearance in my holiday cards this year.  And, the star garland...OMG...I LOVE IT!!!  We received a TON of the star garland in this month's kit.  I have to be honest, I was hoping this month's kit would be an incredibly adorable Christmas card kit and Stampin' Up! did NOT disappoint!

My Paper Pumpkin - September 2013

Are you a My Paper Pumpkin subscriber?  If you aren't, then you missed out on getting this fun card kit this month!  I think I'm going to be stamping "Wahoo!" on all sorts of things!  What a fun sentiment!  My kit arrived on my birthday so I like to think of it as a birthday gift. 

I finally had a few moments to sit down and put a sample together over the weekend.  This kit came with supplies to make 4 of these cards - including a Midnight Muse ink spot and a 2-piece stamp set (Wahoo! & You Dit It!) that can be used on future projects.  Ever since Stampin' Up! introduced the envelope punch board, the file folder has been a VERY popular shape.  Coincidence that this kit came out the same month as the Envelope Punch Board? We'll probably never know!

Don't miss out on another month - subscribe to My Paper Pumpkin today!

August 2013 - My Paper Pumpkin

I'm so excited that so many of you have subscribed to My Paper Pumpkin!  I sat down the other night and made a sample using this month's kit.  I am completely in love with the little bicycle stamp.  Several of you who received it have told me you thought this month's kit was adorable!  I'm glad you are enjoying them so much!

Absolutely everything I needed to make this card was included in the kit - the 2-piece stamp set, 2 ink spots (Bermuda Bay and Baked Brown Sugar), stickers, envelopes, and card bases.  I only needed to grab a pair of scissors to trim my stickers.  SO QUICK.  SO CUTE. 

Only a few days remain for you to take advantage of the half-price deal! 

Details:  Subscribe between now and August 31st, you'll get it for 50% off for your first two months? After you receive two months' worth of Paper Pumpkin kits, the price for future kits will go back to the regular price.

Don't Let it Happen To You!

You've probably heard me mention My Paper Pumpkin - a subscription service that Stampin' Up! started a few months ago.  They just sent out their third round of kits and they're getting cuter and cuter every single month.

I have to be honest here - I wasn't overly excited about them at first.  I really should have listened to the little voice in the back of my head telling me to sign up because I'd regret missing out.  YUP!  I heard that voice LOUD AND CLEAR last month when one of the stamps in the kit was a sentiment that said "SERIOUSLY".  I use that word a hundred times a day.  It's the perfect stamp for me.  BUT, because I didn't sign up, I'll never own that stamp!!  BOO HOO!  Don't let it happen to you, too!  Don't miss out.  Sign up for Paper Pumpkin and never miss a single kit.  You can put your subscription on hold or cancel it completely at any time.  There's no commitment involved!  You are charged $19.95 (that includes shipping) and it arrives in your mailbox every month with everything you need to complete the projects (except adhesive and maybe scissors).

Do you want to see some samples that another demonstrator, Sandi MacIver, made with last month's kit?  I asked Sandi if I could share her samples since I missed out.  These were made using the kit that MADE me sign up?  Stampin' Up! showed it to us at the Baltimore and Salt Lake City regional events and I fell in love.  I didn't want to miss another kit!

Yesterday my very first "official" Paper Pumpkin kit arrived in my mailbox.  I knew it was on it's way.  Stampin' Up! posted this picture on their Facebook page earlier this week.  Check out all of those kits!  They will brighten so many people's day when they arrive in their mailbox.

It was such a fun surprise when I opened my mailbox yesterday.  My kit was hidden under a stack of mail.  I wasn't sure what was underneath until I saw that telltale red box!  I raced into the house to take a picture of the box!  Inside is the Welcome Kit.  Everyone gets the Welcome Kit as their first kit.  It contains the Clear Block you'll need to complete the projects in future kits. I now own three of these Welcome Kits as Mike and I both received them in Orlando back in January.

Sign Up Now and Receive a BONUS From Me!

I'm offering a special incentive for everyone who signs up between today, May 18 and May 25.  When you sign up through me, you will receive your Welcome Kit in mid-June (contents of Welcome Kit displayed on the Subscribe tab of the Paper Pumpkin Website).  As a special "thanks" for signing up during these dates, I will send you a bonus set of supplies to make 6 additional cards designed to work perfectly with the stamps and ink that will come in your Welcome Kit! Then in July you'll start receiving the kit-of-the-month!
