Making the September 2018 Paper Pumpkin Kit Frights & Delights

This weekend I had fun making my September 2018 Paper Pumpkin Kit called Frights & Delights! It all started with the spooky black box in my mailbox this month!

And when I opened it up, there was the exclusive stamp set and ink spot!

Inside the black tissue paper were all the pieces I would need for this project!

All I had to do was punch out the pieces and look at the directions.

Then the fun began of putting the pieces together! The kit makes 24 Halloween treat bags. You get the cute printed cello bags, a little piece of heavy paper to put in the bottom to make it flat, and all the pieces to make the cute toppers for the treat bags! I stamped the tags and adhered the adhesive-backed spooky words!

Next I tied the sparkly twine around the tag.

There are cute cutouts to adhere to the tags, the pumpkins and ghosts with a silver backing to show through. I used the new Take Your Pick Tool to help with the little glue dots that came in the kit.

It’s best to fold the tags on the score line so you can adhere the bats, ghosts, and pumpkins to the top of the tags. And that’s it for the tags!

All that is left to do is buy some treats later and fill the bags, then attach the cute bag toppers!! I think the trick-or-treaters or whoever I end up giving these treat bags to will love them!

As I write this, the full Frights & Delights Kit is still available in the Online Store as well as the Refill Kit if you already have the full kit or if you have your own Halloween stamp set you want to use. The only thing is you have to be a Paper Pumpkin subscriber to purchase any past kits. But that’s no problem!! You can join Paper Pumpkin right now and go shop! No risk, no obligation! You can skip a month or cancel your subscription any time by making any changes in your account before the 10th of any month. If you join today, or at least by October 10th, you will receive the October kit. I have no information or hints about the next few kits, but I bet with the holidays coming up, they will be something fun! Remember, the Past Paper Pumpkin Kits will be available only while supplies last! The category will show up under Paper Pumpkin after you become a Paper Pumpkin subscriber.

Enjoy this September video and then go join Paper Pumpkin so you won’t miss the fun!

Last Day! Join Paper Pumpkin Today to Get This Spooky-Cute Kit!

It’s September and time to sign up for the September Paper Pumpkin Kit and get a Halloween papercrafting kit! If you love Halloween, don’t miss this kit! Usually we don’t know what will be in the monthly kit, but this time…..based on the time of year, the ad you see above, and a little hint from Stampin’ Up! about the quantity being 24 treat holders…..I think we have a good idea it’s Halloween!

You must sign up by September 10th which is today! I can’t wait to get my kit! They will ship out soon after the 10th of the month so you will receive your kit around the 15th. You can skip a month or cancel any time, just go into your account by the 10th of any month and update it. But if you like Halloween, go ahead and try Paper Pumpkin right away!

I have used past Halloween Paper Pumpkin kits for trick-or-treaters or to give to friends or maybe the office staff at a doctor’s office. Almost any treat holder you know is going to be fun to make and give away!

Kits are $19.95 + tax, but that includes shipping. You get an acrylic block with your first kit, an exclusive stamp set you can use again later, a Stampin’ Ink Spot (it’s great to use with your Stamparatus!), and all the materials you need for the project, even adhesives. Most pieces are die cut so you just punch them out. There is a video online if you like to watch the whole process and also printed directions, of course, in the kit. Make any kit exactly like the directions, or do something different on your own. You will find alternate ideas online a little while after the kits have been received and people have started creating! So you do get a lot for your money and the value of the crafting fun you will have is immeasurable!

Sign up today for the Paper Pumpkin Halloween papercrafting kit that anyone can make!

Cardmaking With the Paper Pumpkin August 2018 Kit

Leave a reply

Wouldn’t you love to receive this cute red box in the mail once a month? This is the August 2018 Kit from Paper Pumpkin, the papercrafting kit that comes in the mail from Stampin’ Up! Each month is a different project and almost always a surprise. The majority of kits are for making cards, but sometimes a different kind of project is in store, like party favors or a piece of home decor.

Open the box and it’s like a gift just for you! Each kit comes with an exclusive stamp set, an ink spot, and all the materials you need for the project, even little glue dots and dimensionals if you need them. Your first kit comes with an acrylic block on which to mount the stamps.

Unwrap the tissue paper and find the package containing your new project!

It’s fun to open up the box and take out all the materials and see how many things you get in a kit. Sometimes there are extras leftover for more projects on your own. There are directions and even a video you can watch.

Make the project exactly as designed or if you don’t care for it, make something else! Within a few days of people receiving their kits, there are alternative ideas online you can find if you need suggestions. I very often make part of the kit as designed and then make a few things differently. That’s what I did with this kit. But if you are someone with no other craft supplies, just make the kit as designed and you will have everything you need!

All kits are easy enough for non-crafters, never-crafters, friends, grandchildren, college students, sons, daughters, little ones, big ones, professional crafters who like a break from designing and gathering materials. Just open the box and skip to the fun, as Paper Pumpkin says!

Here is the August 2018 Paper Pumpkin Kit video:

Usually Paper Pumpkin is a complete surprise, but the upcoming kit for September 2018 is obviously going to have a Halloween theme! And I love Halloween!

Halloween Favor Clear Tiny Treat Box

Leave a reply

This Halloween Favor Clear Tiny Treat Box is so fun and easy to make if you need a little party favor or treat! It’s a good idea to always keep a package of these Clear Tiny Treat Boxes on hand for little gifts or treats. You never know when one might come in handy at the last minute! They are so easy and fun to decorate for whatever occasion, not just Halloween, of course!

These little clear plastic boxes come flat so you just assemble them by opening up and creasing the score lines to form the box. Be sure to take off the extra plastic that protects them. Then decorate away, inside or outside!

For this box, I just cut a strip of the Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper, coming in the Holiday Catalog in September. I wrapped it around the box, barely creasing it on the corners, just to see how it would fit. You can start with the 12″ strip, however wide you would like it, and then see how much excess length you can cut off. Decide if you want that overlapping in the back of the box or in the front, hidden by whatever you decorate the front with. Then you can take it off and crease the folds with a Bone Folder to get a good, crisp crease.

For the front of my little Halloween favor box, I stamped the little bird ghost from the Trick or Tweet Stamp Set in the Holiday Catalog and colored it in with Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. There are new colors coming in the Holiday Catalog, too! Love these!!! Then I punched him out and layered him on various circle punches and the small 1 1/8″ Scallop Circle Punch. I could have done even more, maybe tied ribbon around the box or added a greeting, but I just stopped here and put some candy inside!

Another idea to consider for Halloween treats is to join Paper Pumpkin before September 10th to receive the September papercrafting kit that is definitely going to be Halloween but not too spooky! I cannot wait!

If you would like to make a little Halloween favor box like mine, these Clear Tiny Treat Boxes are fun to have available, whether or not you join Paper Pumpkin! Be sure to put them on your order and be ready for the holidays!

Once you are a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, you also have access to any available past kits in the Stampin’ Up! Online Store. Sometimes it is the full kit and sometimes it is a refill to the kit. If, for example, you subscribed to a certain kit and wanted to make more, you could order just the refill since you would already have the stamps and ink spot. Therefore, the refill would be of less cost.

Stampin’ Up! Savings in July and in August

Leave a reply

During July and August, you just may be able to save a little bit of money while enjoying stamping! Here are a couple specials you may have heard of and one more new thing just out today.

Yesterday I went into a craft store and was quite surprised to see pumpkins and fall things out on the shelves! I shouldn’t have been surprised, especially in a craft store, because crafters have to get started early for craft shows and things coming up in the fall. Today at the grocery store I noticed it is “Back to School” time already with lunch bags and school supplies on display! So even though I think summer just got rolling, it probably is only about a month until some schools start back again! Something that usually goes along with the start of school nowadays is Sales Tax Holidays, usually for school clothing, shoes, and school supplies.

Today Stampin’ Up! posted information about the Sales Tax Holidays in some states, mostly in August. Amazingly, some of our Stampin’ Up! products do count as school supplies so you might be able to save a few pennies anyway if your state has a tax holiday. You’ll have to click on the photo and probably zoom in to read this. It’s very small print. Your state will have more information when the time comes.Click to read!

Don’t miss out on this great chance to try Paper Pumpkin! Sign up by August 10th and get the August Paper Pumpkin Kit in the mail mid-August for 50% off! Save $9.97! I have no clues on what the kit will look like or be BUT I would guess that with a promo title of “Blooming Summer Savings” and pictures of flowers on the banner, the kit is probably NOT going to be snowmen or a pizza party and it’s not going to be fruit and baskets because we just had that in July! I could be wrong, though! Ha! Now if you were a past subscriber but are interested in coming back, I have it on pretty good authority that you would count as a new subscriber if you use a different email address.

It’s not every designer paper, but a good selection anyway! After you choose 3 papers, you get the 4th package FREE! I already have several of these, but tonight (another!) of my orders arrived with the Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper. OH my gosh! This paper is so darn cute!! I don’t even have the stamp set and framelits, but I thought it might be fun to have this paper! I think I was right! Stock up on designer paper during July! You’ll save $11.00!

So there you go! Chances to save some money at Stampin’ Up! Don’t miss out!
