Get Craft Kits on Sale From Paper Pumpkin Up To 75% Off!

Usually past Paper Pumpkin Kits and Refills to the kits are reserved only for Paper Pumpkin subscribers.  But starting today, until May 9, or WHILE SUPPLIES LAST, everybody can stock up on great deals on these papercrafting kits! Check out the list below!

Paper Pumpkin Spring Sale 2018

Just add the Item Number to your Stampin’ Up! order.  The Refill kits do not include the ink spot nor the exclusive stamp set, but all other supplies are included.  The “Past Kit” contains the full kit.  Even if you do not get the ink spot and stamps, you would probably find ways to use the supplies inside to make similar or alternative projects using the stamps you do have!  Just play!

I believe the Something Good to Eat Kit (143593) may be sold out….and for good reason!  This is the kit that comes with 16 “test tubes” (treat tubes) that you can fill with candy or something and decorate for Halloween or Christmas or any fun occasion!  I know my Trick-or-Treaters loved getting them at my door!  So even if you just order the Refill to get the tubes, it will be a great deal and you will have fun playing with them! While they last!!!

Although the kit was made for Halloween, here is a project I made for St. Patrick’s Day! Click HERE.

Check out these Stampin’ Up! videos to get more details on these kits and more! Just click on the “Show More” after the first few videos to get to the older ones.
These “Spring Cleaning” Paper Pumpkin kits and refills will be discontinued May 9th if not sold. Everything is available while supplies last, of course!
And if you are interested in Paper Pumpkin, try it out for two months with this special offer!

Subscribe today (or at least by May 10th) and get the May and June Kits each at 50% off!

Give Yourself a Treat With Paper Pumpkin! Special 50% Offer!

Paper Pumpkin Projects Banner

It’s time to give yourself a treat with Paper Pumpkin and take advantage of the 50% off your first two months special offer!   This offer is for new subscribers so you can try two months of Paper Pumpkin at a fantastic rate!

In each Paper Pumpkin box you will receive an exclusive photopolymer stamp set, an ink spot to use on the project, and all the materials ready to go to make the project.  Often there are “leftovers” you can use on other papercrafting projects.  With your first kit, you will receive an acrylic block on which to mount your stamps in case you are brand new to stamping so you will have everything you need!

Shipping is included in the price of the kit, which is normally $19.95 a month for a Paper Pumpkin Kit. So consider that at only $10 for each of two months, to get an entire Paper Pumpkin kit of supplies, plus  a stamp set in each, and no additional payment for shipping….WHAT A DEAL!!!

The kit is designed for even non-crafters or non-stampers with directions and even a special video to watch for help in assembling the project. Most kits are cards but each month is a surprise, which is part of the fun, and may be something like a party favor, home decor item, mini album….you name it!  I love anticipating the arrival of my Paper Pumpkin kit in my mailbox each month.

Check out this post about the Paper Pumpkin Kit from March.

My daughter enjoys Paper Pumpkin at her own home for the simple reason that she doesn’t want a ton of supplies like her mother has, but she enjoys some crafting now and then! This way everything she needs comes in the box, she can assemble the project and she’s done! Some months she “skips” if she doesn’t feel she has time, and then she reactivates her subscription when she is ready again!  It’s the perfect kit, or even gift, for someone in this situation.

Join Paper Pumpkin by Tuesday, April 10th  and receive the April and May kits at 50% off!  Kits ship the middle of the month.

Join April 11 – May 10th and receive the May and June Kits.

Go ahead!  You deserve a treat each month!  Try Paper Pumpkin for two months and if you don’t love it, just cancel. I’ll even help you do it. No problem whatsoever.

Busy one month?  Just go into your account and “skip” a month!  No problem whatsoever.

It’s a win-win treat for yourself or even as a gift for someone else!  I have a friend who sends Paper Pumpkin to her mother-in-law every month and she loves it!

Sale-A-Bration New Brochure Cover 2018 pt 2

Check out the new FREE stamping products coming tomorrow, February 16, 2018 as part 2 of Sale-A-Bration 2018 from Stampin’ Up!  Check out this brochure by clicking on the photo above and printing it out, if you wish, before you order again in case you prefer any of these new products.  The products in the first brochure for Sale-A-Bration are STILL available, these are just some new extra ones in case you want to order again and want more choices!

Original Sale-A-Bration Brochure HERE

New Sale-A-Bration Products Feb. 16th HERE

This year for the first time, if you have a $100 merchandise total, instead of 2 $50 items, you can choose one $100 selection. The selection in this new supplement has a Blossoming Basket Bundle for the $100 choice.  This is a beautiful set! It is a stamp set of a basket filled with flowers and an Embossing Folder with a basketweave.  It is one of those heavier folders that makes deep impressions.  The folder will be available to purchase in the next Stampin’ Up! catalog but not in the bundle as shown here. I don’t know about the stamp set.

Another beautiful choice is the Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper. This paper is beautiful as is, but Demonstrators who have it on a preorder have been coloring it in various ways!  You will want to have some to experiment with!

The other choice in the new supplement of Sale-A-Bration products is a stamp set called Eclectic Expressions with two greetings and some watercolor-y images.

Everything in the original Sale-A-Bration brochure is still available, these new items are just “in addition”!

Check out the new Sale-A-Bration supplement HERE.  Tomorrow you’ll be able to see the products added to the Stampin’ Up! Online Store HERE.

 

Valentine’s Day Party Pandas Mini Treat Bag

Valentine's Day Party Pandas Mini Treat Bag

How about a cute Valentine’s Day Mini Treat Bag stamped with one of the Party Pandas? This mini treat bag is big enough to hold a few pieces of candy inside, a gift card, a small gift or just a note! You can make it for Valentine’s Day, but really it could be used for lots of occasions!  And one of the best parts is that you can get the Party Pandas Stamp Set FREE during Sale-A-Bration with a $50 purchase of Stampin’ Up! products!

It’s so easy to make a treat bag with the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Dies.  These dies have always been one of my favorites!  I also like the other pieces that come in the collection besides the two pieces that make up the treat bag.

Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Dies

For the Party Pandas treat bag, I made the treat bag with a paper in the Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Series Paper.  I figured the pink dots could be used for Valentine’s Day but also for other occasions.  I did trim off the top edge of the bag since I was going to tie the bag shut with the Powder Pink 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon.

The Panda is stamped with the Party Pandas Stamp Set available during Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration!  You can’t buy this stamp set, you have to earn it! You earn it with a $50 purchase, which is easy to do, and then you choose a special Sale-A-Bration product for your FREE product!  I think the pandas are probably one of the most popular Sale-A-Bration sets this year! The panda is just stamped in black ink.  (I used Memento Black.)  Just color in the little heart on the envelope with a pink marker.  I stamped just the word “Love” from the stamp in the set and inked it up with the Melon Mambo Marker.  I got lucky and stamped it in just the right place!

Next I die cut the panda with the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies and layered on a piece of the Iridescent Myths & Magic Glimmer Paper in the Occasions Catalog. This glimmer paper was also die cut with the larger square in the Stitched Shapes Dies.  The paper almost seemed to take on a little bit of the pink from the paper and the ribbon!

Here is another Mini Treat Bag I made last summer with the Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper.  I put a card inside the bag for the birthday card.  There are so many ways you can use these treat bags!

If you need a little Valentine Treat Bag, you can make one yourself with the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Dies out of any paper you choose. Best of all, with a $50 purchase, you can choose the Party Pandas Stamp Set for your free Sale-A-Bration item and make all kinds of cute cards and projects with the pandas.

Stampin’ Up! New Occasions Catalog Off to a Great Start!

Yesterday was such an exciting day with the premier of the new Stampin’ Up! Occasions Catalog plus the beginning of Sale-A-Bration! I’m still working on my order because of course I want way more than I can get at one time!

A couple of things:

  • The Picture Perfect Paper Ribbon on page 5 of the Occasions Catalog is no longer available. Businesses worldwide have been affected by some kind of factory issues and this cute ribbon is one of the products so delayed that Stampin’ Up! has decided to remove it from their offering.
  • In the Occasions Catalog on page 19, the number of sheets in the Painted Love Gold Vinyl Stickers is incorrect. The product includes 4 sheets: 2 each of 2 designs.
  • Something you might miss because it isn’t fully pictured on the page is the Scattered Sequins Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder #145649, way down in the right hand corner of page 13.
  • The Brusho Crystal Colour is not real obvious in the top corner of page 26. I’m really excited about trying these out! Real watercolor artists use these! If you get them, DO NOT open the lid!  They say the crystals are so fine that just opening the bottle will release them like a powder that will go everywhere! I think there is a warning on the box. It is recommended that you just take a pushpin or Paper Piercer and poke 1-3 holes in the lid without opening anything. Then leave the pushpin in the hole when you are finished using.  Use the bottles like a salt shaker!

Enjoy some more videos about the new products in the Occasions Catalog so you will know what you want to order (well, everything, but most of us can’t!)!

I hope you are loving all these exciting new products in the Occasions Catalog and planning your purchase so you can take best advantage of Sale-A-Bration!  Remember, with every $50 purchase you will earn a FREE Sale-A-Bration item from the special brochure.  Look for the $50 icon scattered through the brochure.  If you have a $100 order, maybe you want to choose one of the two $100 choices, identified with the $100 icon!  This is something new this year.  You could choose one $100 item or 2 $50 items and so on.  Let me know if you have any questions or need help deciding!

If you are new to Stampin’ Up! or haven’t ordered in awhile and would like the new catalogs, please email me at Karen@Karenstamps.com and I will get the catalogs in the mail to you, compliments of me! I would be happy to be your Demonstrator and help you with this wonderful hobby of ours!
