Making the September 2018 Paper Pumpkin Kit Frights & Delights

Paper Pumpkin Sept 2018 Kit Package

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!

Paper Pumpkin Sept 2018 Box InsideAnd when I opened it up, there was the exclusive stamp set and ink spot!

Paper Pumpkin Sept 2018 Box Inside

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

Paper Pumpkin Sept 2018 Pieces1All I had to do was punch out the pieces and look at the directions.

Paper Pumpkin Sept 2018 Kit Pieces Punched OutThen 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!

Paper Pumpkin Sept 2018 Kit Tags Assembling1Next I tied the sparkly twine around the tag.

Paper Pumpkin Sept 2018 Kit Tags

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.

Paper Pumpkin Sept 2018 Kit Package

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!

Paper Pumpkin Sept 2018 Kit Toppers completedAll 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!

Cardmaking With the Paper Pumpkin August 2018 Kit

Paper Pumpkin August 2018 Kit

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.

Paper Pumpkin August 2018 Kit Inside

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.

Paper Pumpkin August 2018 Kit Package Inside

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

Paper Pumpkin August 2018 Kit Contents

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.

Paper Pumpkin August 2018 Cards

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

Halloween Favor Clear Tiny Treat Box

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!

It’s hard to believe in the middle of the heat wave that is summer that we can think ahead to Halloween, but here’s an easy way to get into fall crafting with the September Paper Pumpkin Kit with a spooky Halloween project inside the exclusive Halloween-designed box.  You will love finding this special box in your mailbox mid-September and getting excited about Halloween!  I personally love Halloween and have boxes of decorations, not the gory, scary stuff but the cute and fun Halloween things!  I will be looking forward to this kit for sure!

Even if you have subscribed to Paper Pumpkin in the past, you are always welcome to come back!  If you subscribed in the very beginning of the program several years ago now, I think you will find now that the kits are much improved and everyone loves them!  The good thing is that there is no risk or obligation to continue for any length of time.  Try Paper Pumpkin and if it doesn’t suit you, just cancel. If you like Paper Pumpkin but know you will be super busy one month, just go into your account and skip that month.  It’s all up to you!  Just subscribe or amend your account by the 10th of any month.  You can add kits any month if you want to give one for a gift or have a friend coming over you would like to craft with!

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.

If you like Halloween, be sure to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin and see what this spooky kit has in store for us!

Stampin’ Up! Savings in July and in August

Stampin' Up! savings

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.Sales Tax Holiday 2018Click to read!
