Some of the very popular Stampin’ Up! products in recent years have been the card kits in the catalogs! These are great for people who do not have a lot of crafting and stamping supplies or who are new to crafting, and let’s face it, for those of us who are experienced but like the ease of just opening a kit and having it all planned out for us….as well as being something new from Stampin’ Up! Who can resist that?!
One new card kit coming in the Stampin’ Up! 2017-18 Annual Catalog is the all-inclusive Soft Sayings Card Kit (145466). Make 20 cards, 2 each of 10 designs and three different sizes of cards. Watch the Stampin’ Up! video below for all the information!
Once you have made all the cards in the kit, if you want more, or want to share and make some with a friend, you can order the Refill Kit (145387) and get all the consumable supplies just for the cards minus the stamp set, ink, box and block.
This kit will be available, along with the new catalog items, on June 1, 2017! Can’t wait!
In the meantime, remember to check out these things:
I want a creative escape but I don’t have a lot of time.
I’m not sure I’m ready to commit to papercrafting, but I want to try it.

Today is the last day to sign up for Paper Pumpkin to get the April 2017 Paper Pumpkin Kit designed by the CEO of Stampin’ Up!, Sara Douglass! You must join Paper Pumpkin today so Stampin’ Up! can get your kit ready to go out in just a week! If you have never subscribed to Paper Pumpkin, this is the time to treat yourself and see what Sara has designed in the cute black and — what color is that????—- box! Everything you need to make the project is included in the kit, plus an acrylic block for the stamp set if this is your first kit! Sara is even putting a FREE GIFT in her kit so you don’t want to miss that!
If you are an active subscriber of Paper Pumpkin, go into your account and be SURE you haven’t skipped a month and not reactivated your account! You might even want to update the quantity to 2 kits if you know someone else who might enjoy this kit!
“Bold, vibrant, and artistic—with a little bit of sass,” is how Stampin’ Up! CEO Sara Douglass described the kit she designed for the April Paper Pumpkin. We don’t have any idea what Sara has designed for this month’s Paper Pumpkin, but I do know we always enjoy her stamping presentations at Stampin’ Up! events. There has been a lot of excitement about this Paper Pumpkin Kit so I am going to bet it is a good one! I can’t wait!
Watch this short little video of Sara talking about the April Kit!
If you have tried Paper Pumpkin in the past and then had to cancel for whatever reason, perhaps you would like to join again just to get this kit! No risk, no obligation anytime with Paper Pumpkin. If it is not for you, just cancel or even just skip a month! Remember, there is something extra in this kit – a FREE GIFT!
Another good thing about Paper Pumpkin is that if you don’t like the project as designed, just take the materials and make something else! There are always lots of ideas online of alternative ideas for each kit, if you need some inspiration!
Also, once you are a subscriber, you can purchase any past kits or refills that are still available. Sometimes these sell out right away and sometimes you can find something you missed and want to have! Just go to the Stampin’ Up! Online Storeand check out Paper Pumpkin/Past Kits.
I say, if they changed the color of the Paper Pumpkin box, the kit must be something special!
I finally opened my March 2017 Paper Pumpkin Kit from Stampin’ Up! and within minutes had made this cute bunny favor for spring. I wanted to take something to my friend who was in town when we met for dinner and I thought of this little bunny bag that would be perfect and something different than cards. All I had to do was open the Paper Pumpkin box and everything I needed was in there except a pair of scissors to snip the baker’s twine! Everything! Well, except the chocolate candy!
The little cloth bags were ready to be stamped with a bunny face, and the kit even included an adhesive dot with which to stick the little pom pom for the bunny tail on the back of the bag! So cute! Ears with adhesive on the back were included to stick inside the flaps of the bag. I stamped the little tag and attached to the bag with the tiny clothespin. All so easy! All I had to do was add some chocolate treats inside the bag and tie with a 12″ piece of the included baker’s twine. My little favor was ready to go in just a couple of minutes, if that long!
Even if you didn’t want to make all the bags for Easter, think how cute they would be to save for a baby gift, like a package decoration for your baby gift or for a little one’s birthday gift. They don’t have to be for Easter or even spring! Little notecards are also included in the kit that you can put in the bag for a little gift! So many possibilities with these Paper Pumpkin Kits!
Watch the Stampin’ Up! video below to see the entire Paper Pumpkin March 2017 kit and assembly!

I think we may all be in for a special treat with the April Paper Pumpkin Kit because Sara Douglass, the CEO of Stampin’ Up! has designed it! “Bold, vibrant, and artistic—with a little bit of sass,” is how Sara described the kit she designed for the April Paper Pumpkin. We don’t know what the project is inside the box, but we do know that when Sara presents a stamping demonstration at any Stampin’ Up! event, we all enjoy seeing her projects.
Sara said she wants everyone to have a “creative successful experience” with the Paper Pumpkin Kit. And to make it extra fun, Sara has included a FREE GIFT in each kit! Paper Pumpkin is a papercrafting kit from Stampin’ Up! that comes in the mail each month. One of the great benefits of the kit is that the project, whatever it is, is all ready to go. You don’t have to design anything, gather supplies or own a lot of stamps and ink. Just open the box and create!

The only clue Sara would divulge about the kit was the box itself! It will be black rather than the usual Paper Pumpkin Red. I’m not sure what we can tell from that, but that’s a clue! Sara said in designing the project, she took inspiration from Pinterest, fashion magazines, and home decor and said that “inspiration is everywhere”.
Don’t miss out! Join Paper Pumpkin TODAYso you won’t forget! If you have skipped a month or two, be sure to reactivate your subscription so you will receive the April Paper Pumpkin Kit designed by Sara with a free gift inside!

Did you receive this Stampin’ Up! Paper Pumpkin papercrafting kit for February 2017 in your mailbox a few days ago? It has the directions and all the supplies you need to make nine cards, three each of three different designs. It’s a fun design where you pull the bottom tab to read the greetings through the peek-a-boo slot in the front of the card. It’s something different and we can even copy this idea and make more cards like this technique in the future. And if you choose, you can use the same supplies to make some other design of your choosing. There are always lots of alternative ideas for each kit online.
If you did NOT receive this February 2017 Paper Pumpkin Kit in the mail, perhaps you would like to join Paper Pumpkin nowso that you WILL receive the March 2017 Paper Pumpkin Kit in your mailbox! And, as soon as you join Paper Pumpkin, you will be eligible to purchase any past kits or refills (just the supplies, not the stamps or ink spots) if there is something you liked in the past.
During Sale-A-Bration, you can purchase the 3-month Paper Pumpkin option on your Stampin’ Up! order, save $5, and earn a FREE Sale-A-Bration item! (Be forewarned that if you ONLY have this on your order, you will pay $6.95 to have your free product shipped to you….but surely, you want to add some other products to your order to make the shipping worthwhile!)
If adding a Paper Pumpkin subscription to your Stampin’ Up! order puts your order at or above $150, then you will receive Hostess Rewards as well! Even if you have a monthly subscription, you can purchase the Paper Pumpkin subscription on your order and it will use that subscription first before continuing on with your monthly subscription. Let me know if you have questions about this!
Watch this video to see how to assemble the February 2017 Paper Pumpkin Kit. Every month there is a video you can watch if you choose! And remember, you can use the supplies in the box any way you like, you don’t have to make the exact design!
Then you won’t forget to do it by March 10th! Or if you prefer, make a note to add it to your next Stampin’ Up! order before March 10th and be sure to set up your account right when you get the email.
Today, January 10th, is the day to sign up for Paper Pumpkin so that you will receive a red box like one of these in your mailbox around the middle of this month! You’ve had a busy holiday season, I daresay even a busy clean-up season after the holidays, and it’s time to sit down and do something for yourself when your Paper Pumpkin Kit comes in the mail with an exclusive surprise project inside! With your very first kit you will receive a clear block on which to mount the stamps that come in the kit. In each kit is an exclusive stamp set as well as an ink spot plus all the other materials you need for the project. Almost always the project is a surprise. Sometimes we get a hint or a peek, but not usually. Have some fun, relax, and be surprised!
Each project comes with directions and a Stampin’ Up! video to watch. If you don’t care for the project, make something else with the materials! For example, the December project in the kit was to make an album, but people who didn’t feel that was for them, took the pages of the album and turned them into cards!
This was the December kit:
And for another example, here is the November 2016 Paper Pumpkin Kit, which, from what I could tell, was very popular and really made some lovely Christmas cards! Not to mention all the alternate ideas people made with the kit! I know I thought it was beautiful!
Sign up by the 10th of any month to get that month’s kit. If life gets busy, pause your subscription by the 10th of any month to skip that month or to cancel. Once you are a subscriber, you can purchase any past Paper Pumpkin Kits or refills that are available. Refills come with the materials but not the stamp set or ink spot.
Sign up by the month or prepay for kits on your regular Stampin’ Up! order. For example, during Sale-A-Bration you can put the 3-month Prepaid Paper Pumpkin Kit on your Stampin’ Up! order and save $5, perhaps helping you earn hostess rewards at $150 or more, not to mention earning you one free Sale-A-Bration item!
Please choose me as your Demonstrator in the appropriate spot or go directly to my Paper Pumpkin website HERE if you are doing the monthly version.
I feel sure if you try at least a few months of Paper Pumpkin, in order to get a variety of kits, you will enjoy receiving that red box in your mailbox every month! If you have any questions, just let me know!
Today is January 10th, so sign up TODAY to get the January Paper Pumpkin Kit. If you sign up tomorrow or after, that is fine, too, you will receive the February Kit in mid-February.
Did you see Sara Douglass, CEO of Stampin’ Up! on the Today Show yesterday?? She was there to donate $2.5 million dollars in Stampin’ Up! papercrafting products to the annual Today Show 2016 Toy Drive. In fact, the donation was so generous that the Today Show electronic screen didn’t even go above $2 million!
On display was the Tin of Tags Project Kit, and Sara mentioned part of the donation would be kits, that make it easy for anyone to create!
To read more about Sara’s appearance on the Today Show, check out the Stampin’ Up! Blog HERE!We’re all so proud to be associated with Stampin’ Up! and their generosity!
On the day after Thanksgiving, it seemed like a good idea to start working on my Paper Pumpkin November 2016 Kit Wonderful Winterland. This is a beautiful kit with these die cut scenes that are layered one on top of another but popped up with dimensionals with a vellum layer in the background and then adhered to the little note card. The snowflakes, trees and greeting are all stamped. The sequins and metallic baker’s twine add the finishing touches to the cards (as well as the twine holding the vellum in place so no adhesive will show!).
If you haven’t heard of Paper Pumpkin, it’s a monthly subscription kit from Stampin’ Up! that comes to you in the mail. Whether you are an advanced crafter or a beginner or not a crafter at all, it’s a kit that entices you to spend some time for yourself, relaxing, and enjoying making the project inside the box! With your first kit, you receive a clear acrylic block on which to mount the stamps. Each kit includes an exclusive stamp set and an ink spot (a 1″ square ink pad!) plus directions and all the materials you need for the project. Each month is a surprise! There is even a Stampin’ Up! video each month showing you how to assemble the kit if you like to watch rather than just read the directions.
Of course it’s your box, so you can change the project and make alternate creations or make it exactly as it is designed! Whatever you want, it’s your craft time! (Some would call it therapy time!!).

Yesterday I got around to playing with my September 2016 Paper Pumpkin Kit and here is what I made! I still have some extra tags and banners that I can use to make some other cards. Lucky for me that I had enough CANDY to fill all these test tubes!!! As I worked on these test tube treats, I started thinking of people I could give them to besides my kids, so don’t worry that maybe you don’t have children, grandchildren or trick-or-treaters to pass them out to! Think about taking one or a few along to a doctor appointment, or give to a couple of your neighbors, or take along to a restaurant and give to a good server in addition to a tip, or the drive-thru window at a coffee or fast-food place, there are just all kinds of ways to pass them out to people!
This was such a cute project and so easy to make! I know in the past Demonstrators have loved getting their hands on these fun test tubes to make various treats, so how great to just get them delivered in a Paper Pumpkin Kit!
