Enjoy the Little Things Project Kit

One of the things on the Stampin’ Up! Clearance Rack (right now!!) is this Enjoy the Little Things Project Kit. You get a nice quality easel to hold a different display each month. Nothing has dates or anything so it can be “perpetual”. I bought several on the Clearance Rack yesterday to make for gifts.

The kit includes everything you need except stamps (Enjoy the Little Things Stamp Set – retired) but I’m sure you can substitute with something you have.

Kit includes
* 6-1/4″ x 8-5/8″ | 15.9 x 21.9 cm chalkboard stand with clip
* Gold brads
* Gold cord
* Wood veneer pieces
* Gold metallic thread
* Sequins
* Doilies
* Faceted button
* Muslin fabric
* Die-cut shapes
* Printed pieces
* Cotton paper
* White label with gold foil
* Star confetti
* Adhesive balloon dimensional
* Balloon window sheet

Here is a video Brandi made at the Stampin’ Up! Home Office showing off the kit!

If this is still available on the Clearance Rack, you might want to pick up a kit at this price for yourself and maybe extras for Christmas gifts or any time gifts! Maybe you will change up the design and make something else with the supplies! Who knows!

What is Paper Pumpkin anyway? Paper Pumpkin is a surprise papercrafting kit from Stampin’ Up! in a cute red box, wrapped up delightfully inside.

When the red box shows up in your mailbox around the middle of the month, you get all excited, open it, and find all the supplies you need inside to make the mystery project! There is a stampin’ spot (mini ink pad), an exclusive set of photopolymer stamps, and all the materials die cut and ready to go, usually adhesive like glue dots or dimensionals, plus directions of course and a link to a video of how to make the project!

Then when you have some free time for yourself, or your child comes home from school to make a craft with you, or your grandchild comes over and wants to make something, or your sister, grandmother, mother, neighbor loves to make things but doesn’t know how, you sit down and assemble your kit! As you can see, it might be cards, it might be a calendar, a mini album, a home decoration, gift bags, treat bags, you name it! Follow the directions or do your own thing! The box is yours! Just play and enjoy yourself!

The Stampin’ Up! Paper Pumpkin Kits for April 2016 have been delivered to subscribers! If you don’t want to miss out on the next kit in May, be sure to get yourself subscribed!

It’s easy to join!

Sign up on my Paper Pumpkin page HERE! (or just get more information)
Add a Prepaid Paper Pumpkin Subscription to your Stampin’ Up! order! You’ll receive a code via email right after you order. It will tell you to set up your account on the Paper Pumpkin page and you will be set to go!
Sign up either way by May 10th to receive the May kit.
Watch for your Paper Pumpkin kit in your mailbox around mid-May!

Everything you need comes in your kit! A stamp set, an ink spot, a clear block with your first kit, and all the paper and supplies you need to make the project. Sometimes it is cards, sometimes it is something else. It’s always a surprise.

No risk! If it doesn’t suit you, just cancel. If you are busy and want to skip a month, just go in to your account and pause your subscription. Resume when you are ready.

Give Paper Pumpkin as a gift! I send one to my daughter as a gift and if she is too busy, she just pauses her subscription for a month or two.

Who do you need a gift for and want something different? Who do you know could use a little “me” time to just sit down and relax while they have some crafting time? Who do you know would enjoy a little surprise gift who doesn’t even craft? Paper Pumpkin is for everyone and anyone!

Take a look at April’s Paper Pumpkin Kit! Sometimes there are plenty of extra pieces left over that you can make even MORE projects with! If you don’t like the project or you don’t want to make all the cards or whatever, just go with your own design and creativity. Nothing says you can’t change it up! Just have fun with it! That is what Paper Pumpkin is for!

Make a Paper Tassel with Stampin’ Up! Cardstock!

Leave a reply

Did you ever think about making a paper tassel with your cardstock? I didn’t until I saw this idea in a magazine! Tassels seem to be the trendy thing right now, especially in jewelry. Why not add them to your papercrafting?!

I’m sure you can modify these instructions to suit the look you want as you play around with the idea.

Cut card stock 6″ x 10″.
Cut strips 1/2″ x 10″.
Measure the center of each strip and put a pencil mark (just if you want something closer to perfection! Otherwise just eyeball it!)
Lay the strips in a starburst pattern, glueing each one on top of the other. I used the Multiipurpose Liquid Glue (sometimes know as the “green” glue for the color of the bottle!). Let dry. (See photo below)
With the center of the starburst in the palm of one hand, gently cup the strips together to form the tassel.
Take a piece of ribbon and lay it through the inside of the tassel so that you can tie it on to something later if you want.
Take another strip of cardstock (I used Gold Foil Sheets) and make the piece that ties around the bundle about one inch down from the top of the tassel. I used Fast Fuse to adhere the ends of the Gold Foil sheet.
That’s it! Tie the tassel on to a package, a gift box, a banner, whatever you like!
Try variations like using different shades of the same color card stock or designer paper.

Paper Pumpkin 3 Year Birthday! Join Now!

Stampin’ Up! is celebrating the 3rd birthday of Paper Pumpkin, the papercrafting kit that comes to you in the mail, with these pretty blue limited edition boxes for the March kit! If you are not already a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, you need to join before March 10th so that your March kit will be on it’s way when they go out mid-month! (Notice how they stacked the boxes in a “3” shape??!)

You have a couple of choices!

Join month by month by signing up HERE.
Order prepaid subscriptions on your regular Stampin’ Up! order. With a 3-month prepaid subscription, save $5 and earn a free Sale-A-Bration item!

Either way, just get signed up and activate your account by March 10th in order to receive the March kit. Do it after March 10th and receive the April kit.

Your first kit will include an acrylic block to use with the stamps included in each kit. Each kit includes everything you need for your project, including an ink spot. Depending on the project, you might need adhesive and scissors, but often the appropriate adhesive is included. Kits are not always cards, each month is a surprise!

Email me if you have any questions at Karen@KarenStamps.com! Or click on the links above for more information. You can pause or cancel your subscription any time.

Paper Pumpkin January 2016 by Stampin’ Up!

Leave a reply

Don’t look if you haven’t received or opened your Stampin’ Up! Paper Pumpkin Kit yet!

Mine is still unopened in the box, but it was a busy week and I think this weekend might be a good time for some Paper Pumpkin time! Don’t delay too long with your kit as there is a time factor involved! And I have to remind myself of this, too — you can use the stamp set that comes in the kit for other stamping projects! I often use it for the kit project and then put it away! I missed out on using the greetings in one kit on other cards for a holiday because I just didn’t think about it! Some people store their photopolymer Paper Pumpkin stamps in the Project Life by Stampin’ Up! Photo Pocket Pages and then in an album for easy access. I think I need to get organized and do that!

OK, so if you are still reading then you probably want to see what the Stampin’ Up! January 2016 Paper Pumpkin Kit is all about! Here is the Stampin’ Up! video that shows how to put the kit together. Keep in mind, with each kit you can follow the directions….or not! Sometimes you can make part of the kit as they describe and then make alternate projects with the remainder of the pieces. It just depends. Each month’s kit is different! And I love that Stampin’ Up! provides a video to watch, if you want, for each kit. So besides reading the directions, you can also watch how to make the kit.

If you would like to receive a Paper Pumpkin Kit in your mailbox once a month (or whenever you choose), the best deal right now during Stampin’ Up!’s Sale-A-Bration promotion is to order the 3-Month Prepaid Subscription and save $5. This will qualify you for a free Sale-A-Bration item from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure! I recommend adding some other products to your order because you will be paying the normal $6.95 minimum Stampin’ Up! shipping for your free SAB item. Might as well get some adhesive and Paper Snips or ribbon or cardstock along with it to make the shipping worthwhile! That’s my opinion anyway!

When you order before the 10th of any month, you will receive that month’s kit! So order before February 10th and get the February kit. Order later in February and you will receive the March kit. Whatever you prefer. Once you have subscribed, if you want to pause (or, heaven forbid, cancel!) your subscription, just do it before the 10th of the month because Paper Pumpkin starts shipping out around the middle of the month.

You can order extras for gifts! On the prepaid kits, you will receive an email from Stampin’ Up! telling you have to set up and activate your account with a special code.

If you prefer, there is still the monthly subscription HERE.

Either way, I think you will really enjoy the thrill of getting that Paper Pumpkin box in your mail every month! And who doesn’t need some “happy mail” once a month!

Don’t forget the Stampin’ Up! Weekly Deals for this week and always check the Clearance Rack! And for every $50 you spend with Stampin’ Up! through March 31, 2016 you will get to choose a FREE Sale-A-Bration product!
