Paper Pumpkin, the monthly subscription kit from Stampin’ Up! for new and ANY papercrafters, arrived in my mailbox! The box itself is so cute (see previous post)!  I wonder what the post office thinks when they see a bunch of these bright boxes going through the system! And the wrapping inside just gets you more excited to see what is in the box! In the picture above, you can see the contents of my August Paper Pumpkin kit. This month had two stamps included, which you punch out of the die-cut rubber, remove the white covering and mount on the label if you like.  You will already have a clear block from your first kit, the Welcome Kit.

Here is the card I stamped and assembled exactly as the instructions indicated.

The card base just had to be folded in half and already had the blue polka dots printed on them.  I applied the strips across the card and the little banners (all had adhesive on the back) and then stamped the bicycle and the “thanks” banner.  Done!

Then if you want, you can play around and make your own designs! Or you can make the cards all the same.  It’s your time to be creative!  Do what you want!

If you would like to receive Paper Pumpkin in YOUR mailbox in September, hurry and subscribe. Right now, until next Saturday, August 31, you can subscribe for only $10 a month for the first two months with the special promo code of PUMPKINDEAL!  You will receive the Welcome Kit first which contains your complimentary clear block (worth the price of admission right there!). I have to say I think the Welcome Kit is cuter in person than in the photos.  I enjoyed it.

Then in October, you will receive whatever surprise kit everyone else is receiving. Yes, it’s a surprise! You’ll find out what the kit is when you open your box! That’s part of the fun!

After two months of the special price, the price will go to the regular price of $19.95 a month, which does include shipping. You can cancel at any time or just skip a month a two if you like and then resume your subscription.  The 10th of the month is the magic date to remember if you want your choice to apply for that month’s kit.

For example, subscribe by Sept. 10th, receive the September Kit.  Subscribe after Sept. 10th and receive the October Kit.  The same applies for cancelling or pausing your subscription.

Go to my Paper Pumpkin page and subscribe right now so you won’t miss out on that $10 offer!  It’s too good to be true!  Try it for two months and see how you like it!  No obligation, no commitment, just enjoy!  Just be sure to click on “Add Promo Code” and type in PUMPKINDEAL. On the next page you’ll see your Order Summary at the top and you can see that your discount was applied.
