As soon as the previous month’s Paper Pumpkin Kit goes out, we see the next one and here it is! For April 2025 the new Paper Pumpkin Kit is the Inked Occasions Kit! I’ve been fascinated with this kind of alcohol ink”painting” but haven’t tried it. With this Inked Occasions Kit you can make beautiful cards without doing all the paint work! And what about that decorative box!!! I think it’s a must-have!
Subscribe to Paper Pumpkin for a monthly, all-inclusive crafting kit that’s a fun surprise! Each kit includes a photopolymer stamp set, Classic Stampin’ Spot™, and step-by-step instructions to complete exclusive paper craft projects, including cards, tags, and gift packaging. There’s also a special add-on die that coordinates with each month’s kit that you can purchase extra if you would like to.
APRIL: Inked Occasions Subscribe March 11–April 10 Craft stunning cards with hand-painted, alcohol ink designs! • Makes 9 cards: 3 each of 3 designs with 9 coordinating envelopes • Textured gold foil on the card bases and sentiments • Precut paper pieces and butterfly embellishments • Coordinating colors: Berry Burst (Classic Stampin’ Spot), Flirty Flamingo, Fresh Freesia, Gorgeous Grape, Peach Pie, Pool Party
Remember, Paper Pumpkin MOVED from PaperPumpkin.com to Stampinup.com. For today, you can click on the link above or the banner you see when you go to Stampinup.com to find out more about Paper Pumpkin and I’ll have more information about the website change later!
Each kit comes with all the supplies you need to make the project inside, except for scissors! You get an exclusive stamp set, a Stampin’ Spot 1” x 1″ ink pad, embellishments, cards and envelopes. It’s really fun to open the box and see what is inside, even if you have seen pictures online! Seeing it in person is always better.
I like to say Paper Pumpkin is the gift you give yourself each month, a treat you get in the mail, just for you….or maybe you’d like to share the fun with a family member or friend! You can always order more than one kit in your account. And if you have a busy month coming up, you can skip that month and look forward to the next month’s kit! No risk, no obligation. Cancel any time if you don’t feel Paper Pumpkin is for you. You can always come back! Stampin’ Up! guarantees all kits.
These kits are designed for everyone! New crafters, non-crafters, and experienced crafters! Sometimes it is nice to just open the box and there is a project already designed for you and everything at hand that you will need. A video is always available online if you like to watch the assembly (I do!!) and you will find alternate ideas for using the kit various places online if you feel more adventurous.
Don’t wait! Sign up for Paper Pumpkin today and try it out! It’s going to be fun, especially if you like getting something special for yourself!
It was a rainy Sunday afternoon yesterday so the perfect time to get out my January 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit, Hearts For You. If you aren’t already a Paper Pumpkin subscriber and you didn’t get this kit in the mail maybe a week ago and you’ve GOT to have it, I can help you out a little bit on that! Stay tuned!
The weekend always seems like a good time to work on a Paper Pumpkin Kit. It certainly was a good time to work on this kit and get a bunch of Valentines made instead of at the last minute! If you aren’t familiar with Paper Pumpkin, it is a monthly subscription program for creative success! Paper Pumpkin subscription kits are designed for anyone who wants to quickly and easily achieve beautiful, handcrafted projects—anytime and anywhere! You’ll get a new project every month—one that’s great for all types of crafters. Inside the box and the pretty tissue paper, you’ll find a pre-designed, pre-cut paper crafting project. Everything is ready to stamp and assemble. The only thing you might need is a scissors. The kit even comes with adhesives! And anyone can make these projects, whatever they are!
In the photo above, you see I have opened up my box and the packages inside with all the supplies, have the directions out, and the exclusive stamp set. Your first kit will come with an acrylic block for mounting the stamps. Every kit also comes with one ink spot. I usually hoard mine and use my regular ink pad but the 1″ ink spots don’t take up hardly any space! There is always a video of the assembly of the project that you can watch, and I do like to watch it, but the pictorial directions in the box are easy to follow. It tells you exactly where to put the adhesive and how long the string or ribbon should be, etc.
Of course, you can always “go rogue” and make your own creations with the supplies you are given in the kit. There are always alternate designs you can find online using the kit.
Here are the three designs of the finished cards! You also get matching envelopes and in this kit, foil hearts to seal the envelope flap!
It was funny, when I made my first card (which is the second card in the top row), I stamped the hearts and greeting, tied on the twine, glued that piece to the marbled card base and I thought “Well, this card is okay but it lacks some pizzazz!” Then I realized I hadn’t added all the “things” yet!! There was the champagne foil outline of a heart, a smaller champagne foil heart, and the large Flirty Flamingo diecut heart with the foil accents. I added those things and then discovered there were also tiny little heart gem embellishments!! Once I actually completed the card with all the intended supplies, I thought it was beautiful for a valentine!
The second card I made was the bottom one in the photo. That card had a really creative background – lines of attached small white hearts! All I had to do, thought, was put the dimensionals on the back of each row, punch them out and adhere to the very faint guidelines shown on each card base. It went perfectly smoothly adhering all those rows of hearts! Then it was just a matter of adhering the two diecut hearts one layered on another, adding the foil word “Love” and stamping the little banner to put below the word Love. To complete it, I just added a twine bow.
The very first card in the photo was probably the easiest except for adding the dimensionals to the back of the foil heart so they wouldn’t show! But the directions showed how to cut one of the dimensionals in half to make them smaller. It worked fine.
All three cards for Valentine’s Day are very pretty and were fun to make! If you would like to get this kit, this is how you can do it. First of all, you must subscribe to Paper Pumpkin to purchase any extra full kits that are available or the refill kits. In this case, it looks like there is a Hearts For You Paper Pumpkin Refill that is available. With the refill kit, you will not get the ink spot and you will not get the exclusive stamp set. But if you have any stamps in your stash, you probably have an assortment of heart stamps and greetings that you could use on these cards, and if not, you can draw your own hearts with a red marker or red pencil or cut some out of red paper. You can write your own Valentine message on the banners with a marker or pen if you don’t have appropriate stamps. Just be creative! Actually, the only stamping you would need to do would be the card with all the hearts and on the greetings. And even if you omitted the greeting, the cards would still look pretty on their own!
If you are interested, subscribe to Paper Pumpkin and then order the Refill right away so it doesn’t sell out. It will count toward your Sale-A-Bration total as well! Once you subscribe, if Paper Pumpkin is not for you, then simply go into your account and cancel, or skip a month. It’s easy and no risk or obligation.
If you are already a subscriber and you’d like another kit or two to make more valentines, just order this Hearts For You Refill Kit right away!

But this will be the fun Paper Pumpkin Kit you can receive in your mailbox mid-January 2025 which will be perfect for you-know-what…..Valentine’s Day! Or of course any time you want to send hearts to someone throughout the year!

Here it is! The July Paper Pumpkin Kit, Painted Petals, arrived recently in this gorgeous box! Who cares what is in the kit when you get a beautifully decorated box like this? However, the cards you get to make in this kit are lovely and match the flowers on the box!
Paper Pumpkin is the monthly subscription that Stampin’ Up! offers. Sign up to receive a monthly craft kit right in your mailbox with a fully designed project inside and all the supplies you need! I say it is a treat you give yourself! Wouldn’t you like to find a Paper Pumpkin Kit box in your mailbox every month?
The project inside is usually cards, but sometimes it is something different. It used to be that the kit was a total surprise but now there is usually a sneak peek to give you an idea and you can decide whether to receive that kit or skip a month. You might want to skip a month now and then if you are extra-busy or on vacation so you are never obligated. If you try Paper Pumpkin and it is not for you, you can cancel your subscription easily. You will have your own online account that you can go into if you need to make a change to your subscription. The important thing is to make any changes before the 10th of the month.
The project supplies come neatly wrapped in tissue paper! You get an exclusive stamp set and ink spot. With your very first kit you will receive an acrylic block on which to mount your stamps. The instructions are easy to follow plus you can watch a video.
It’s so much fun to open the package of supplies and see what is inside! You even get adhesive! The only thing you “might” need would be scissors.
You can work at your own pace and do the assembling in your own style. You might like to check out all the pieces, stamp all the greetings, line up everything for each card, and then make your cards! Or you might like to do one full card at a time. You can even change up the design if you want, cut things up differently, add some of your own supplies, whatever you like!
These Calypso Coral floral cards were all made exactly according to the directions.
After making one card as designed, for the second card I made an alternate design. The back of the card bases all have colors, not plain white, so I cut the front and back of the card apart so I could use the back of the card as a layer on the front. For the card base I used my own Basic White cardstock. it gives a little different look. You can see the middle card in the photo has that Melon Mambo border, which originally was the back of a card in the kit.
For one of these cards, I did the same as above, using the back of a card, as a layer on the front of the card and then adhered it to a Pretty in Pink card base.
Sadly, you can no longer subscribe and get this kit, but if you sign up now or before August 10th, you can get the August Kit! Once you are a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, you can check back in the Online Store to see if “eventually” a Past Kit that you missed will become available. Sometimes there are Refills rather than full kits. Refills do not have the ink spot and stamp set.

Happy March! Doesn’t it seem like we just put away Christmas decorations and now we are on our way to Spring! This Paper Pumpkin Kit for March, Memorable Meadows, will really get you in the mood for a fresh new season with the beautiful colors of nature on these cards! If you haven’t been a subscriber before, you have plenty of time to sign up and receive this kit in your mailbox in mid-March. You must sign up by March 10, but don’t wait that long! Do it today and check that box off your list of Things to Do!
MARCH KIT: Memorable Meadows Subscribe: February 11– March 10, 2024 Share nature’s beauty with lovely all-occasion cards! • Makes 9 cards: 3 each of 3 designs with 9 coordinating envelopes • Precut vellum pieces & wood embellishments • Coordinates with the Meandering Meadows Suite Collection (item 162745) • Coordinating colors: Granny Apple Green, Garden Green (Classic Stampin’ Spot), Balmy Blue, Night of Navy, Gorgeous Grape, Fresh Freesia Includes a FREE stamp set
If you haven’t looked at the Meandering Meadows Suite in the Online Exclusives, please take a look at it today on page 2! The Meandering Meadows 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper is gorgeous if nothing else! You could frame those papers for some pretty home decor! You will be hard-pressed to cut up those papers! However, it will be very easy to make cards with that paper alone, not to mention using all the elements in the Suite.
Whether you are a beginning crafter, a non-crafter, or a very experienced crafter, I think this Meandering Meadows Kit, since it coordinates with the Meandering Meadows Kit in the Online Exclusives, holds the promise of being a kit with which to make beautiful cards!
Since March is a birthday month for Paper Pumpkin you will receive an EXTRA stamp set in the kit! It has one large stamp of two flowers and a stem that is a tiny bit larger than the D Block you have. You can use a larger acrylic block if you have one, but actually, you can place that stamp on a D block so that only a teensy piece of the bottom of the stem hangs off the edge. I think it will be fine.
This is my personal link so you won’t have to look up my name as your Demonstrator!
Here’s just one easy card I made with the coordinating Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper in the Online Exclusives! You can see how pretty the paper is and will be in the Paper Pumpkin Kit!
Be sure to sign up for Paper Pumpkin! No risk, no obligation! Skip a month if you want to or cancel. Make any changes by March 10 when they process your subscription and start sending out these beautiful kits!
