Last fall Stampin’ Up! even gave us ideas for turning the BOX into a haunted house! I look at Paper Pumpkin as a fun gift I give myself that I look forward to every month!

Valentine’s Day is coming up at the end of this week so if you need more valentine ideas, here is an Easy Valentine Hearts and Ribbon Card you can try!
The card base is Real Red with a layer of Whisper White to help the designer paper stand out a little bit. This dotted foil layer is in the From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper. It really caught my eye when I was making this card!
The next step is to simply punch two hearts from another design of the From My Heart DSP. I chose the paper with the scattered hearts. I thought it stood out well against the foil DSP.
The center heart is punched from the sheet of foil hearts and then layered on a punched scallop heart from Flirty Flamingo Cardstock. You can get both these plain-edge heart punch and the scalloped edge heart punch in the Heart Punch Pack. And if you want the Heartfelt Stamp Set, too, you can purchase it with the heart punches and save 10% in the Heartfelt Bundle.
After those two hearts were layered together, I put more adhesive on the back with Snail Adhesive so I could stick the ribbon going back and forth behind the heart. Then it is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals® and centered on the card between the other two hearts.
Even though there is no sentiment on the front of the card, I think it is pretty enough on its own so you can just stamp a greeting inside the card on a Whisper White layer.
Don’t forget! Today is the last day tojoin Paper Pumpkin and get the February Kit in just a few days! You could also purchase a Prepaid Subscription in the Online Store and just add it to your Stampin’ Up! order! That way it might help you earn a free Sale-A-Bration item or reach Hostess Rewards!

It’s okay to make Paper Pumpkin Christmas Tags AFTER Christmas! These are from the November 2019 Paper Pumpkin Kit and I just didn’t get to them before Christmas.
These are cute Christmas tags, which I could have used during gift-wrapping time! At least I’ll have a head start for next Christmas! These turned out so cute when I got them all put together. There were six of each of four designs of tags in the kit. Some people made cards out of the elements in the kit. Once you get the kit, you can do whatever you like with the supplies!
There are always projects I didn’t get to do before Christmas and when things calm down after Christmas it seems like a good time to go ahead and work on them! In some cases, I might even have “late” Christmas gifts that I put off because I won’t see the people until after the holidays anyway! Yes, I have two friends who usually don’t have time for our gift exchange until after the holidays (or even WAY after the holidays!) but we don’t care. It’s all about the getting together, not the timing! So whatever the reason, perhaps you also do Christmas projects after the holidays!
If you would like to get a head-start on a Paper Pumpkin subscription, today is the first day to subscribe for the February 2020 Paper Pumpkin Kit! The first hints are that it is about birthday cards! And we all like to stock up on birthday cards at the beginning of the year! You can even purchase a Prepaid Paper Pumpkin Subscription in the Online Store along with your regular order, perhaps boosting your order to get more FREE Sale-A-Bration items or bump you up to Hostess Rewards. Or just join by the month.
Are you still playing with Christmas projects you didn’t have time to do earlier? Or even getting a head start on Christmas cards for next year? It’s okay and from experience, I can tell you it’s a good idea to make Christmas tags any time of year!
It’s time to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin in order to start the New Year off right and receive the January 2020 Kit in the mail very soon!

The November Paper Pumpkin holiday kits are on their way to subscribers’ destinations so now it is time to find out about the December Paper Pumpkin Kit coming out mid-December.
The Something for Everything kit includes a super-versatile stamp set complete with (a whopping!) 13 sentiments that can be used for occasions ranging from wedding, to get well, birthdays, and more! Plus, the three full-sized card designs (4 of each) are gorgeous but completely versatile, giving you the flexibility to use them for any occasion. Start the new year right with cute, fun, and easy cards for 2020.
It sounds like a great way to get an assortment of cards made that will be at your fingertips for mailing when the occasion arises. Often we need a card right away and don’t have time to make one of our usual masterpieces! If you get this Paper Pumpkin Kit and make up the cards, you can keep them handy for those moments when you really need a card right away!
I hate to tell you that you can’t get this Paper Pumpkin Kit any more because it makes a beautiful Christmas card. I just made this one card exactly like the kit directions but I wanted to try out some other alternate ideas that I will find online or maybe think of myself! The Paper Pumpkin holiday season kits are always extra special!
This photo really doesn’t do this card justice. The evergreen trees you see are on the base card front. Then the snowflakes at the top of that part of the card are stamped with the Night of Navy ink from the snowflake stamp included in the Paper Pumpkin Kit.
Next, the white trees are punched out of the die-cut. They are on white glimmery paper to look like snow. This piece includes the snow base for the bottom with a tree on each side. This piece is adhered using Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop it up. This gives a 3D effect to the front of the card. It is a little tedious to stick on the little dimensionals, some cut in half for the tree branches.
The cute little redbirds are die cuts so all I had to do was punch them out and stick them on with glue dots (included in the kit) onto the tree branches! They really “pop” on this card!
For a little more bling, there are snowflake sequins included to stick on the card background with the mini glue dots. If you have the Take Your Pick Tool it would be handy for picking up the tiny snowflake sequins, but if not, use your Paper Snips.
The greeting is included in the stamp set of the kit and is stamped on the die-cut banner piece. This is popped up and layered on the woodgrain die-cut piece and that is all adhered to the bottom front of the card.
Inside I will stamp another greeting and the card will be ready to go. It also came with silver foil trimmed envelopes! That makes it all look luxurious!
In spite of the fact that no extra kits are available after the October Kits were sent out (that’s how popular it was!), it might give you a glimpse into the November Paper Pumpkin Kit. That kit “coordinates” with this October Kit. I don’t know what that means, exactly, but I’m sure it will be a good kit.
Kit details: Makes 24 holiday-themed gift tags of 4 various sizes and designs.
Coordinating colors: Early Espresso, Pool Party, Poppy Parade, and Shaded Spruce
The October and November kits coordinate; however, each kit is all-inclusive and can stand alone.
Supplies may be limited toward the end of each subscription period so don’t delay!
So if you find it enticing to get a cute winter-themed box in your mail in just over a week with a fun project inside making gift tags (if for some reason you don’t need handmade gift tags to make your gifts extra special, just put them on the front of a card instead!). Get an extra kit and have fun stamping with a friend! The deadline to sign up is November 10! Don’t delay!
You know how they say little kids have the most fun playing with the box a gift came in? In this case, I had a lot of fun playing with the Paper Pumpkin box to make a Haunted House! I also had a lot of fun making the cute treat boxes in the Paper Pumpkin Kit! The first haunted house idea came from a Stampin’ Up! employee who then did a Facebook Live explaining his tips on making your own haunted house out of the Paper Pumpkin September Kit box. It was a special edition box in Gorgeous Grape instead of the usual red so that really lent itself to making a haunted house!
I followed the same pattern that the Stampin’ Up! employee found online. It needed to be enlarged and then printed and then placed on the opened box. A couple of pieces had to be reversed so that the outside of the box was on the outside of the house. I found a video online of a lady who made the house and showed exactly how she laid out her pieces. However, I wanted the outside of my house to have the pattern going in the correct direction so I laid my main pieces out a little differently. It all worked. You might want to make a practice house out of other cardboard or cardstock to see how it all goes together but I jumped right in!
Be sure to label the pieces as you trace them and cut them out. Use a heavy-duty scissors or utility knife of some kind. Hot glue is recommended for assembling the house. The thing is, since it is a “haunted” house, you don’t have to worry about strings of hot glue or glue that shows or house pieces that aren’t perfectly straight because any pieces that are “off” just make the house look even spookier!
After assembling the house, use whatever embellishments or pieces from the Paper Pumpkin Kit to decorate the outside of the house. I also used images from the Monster Bash Designer Paper. I didn’t decorate the roof of the house because I like the “Paper Pumpkin” showing on the top!
To get the mailing label off the outside of the box, use your heat gun and then peel it off. I don’t think you will get all the adhesive off so just pounce the Embossing Buddy all over it, which will still show the powdery effect but that’s okay because it is a haunted house! And I put that piece on the back of the house anyway!
For the base, just cut a piece of any other cardboard according to the pattern and cover with Mossy Meadow Cardstock if you like. I cut a door in mine but you could also just adhere something to look like a door. I cut out the UPC number from the box, planning to use it as the “address” on the house, but I lost it because it was so small!
This was really fun to make and easier than I thought to assemble. If you don’t have a Paper Pumpkin box, just use other cardboard and decorate. As I write this post, you CAN purchase the same Bone Appetit Kit and refill in the Stampin’ Up! Online Store but you must be a subscriber to access this category. Sign up now for Paper Pumpkin and get the Holiday Kit coming in November and possibly the past October kit for holiday cards!
Halloween is nearly here, which means that Paper Pumpkin has been busy, busy, busy. Stampin’ Up! thought you might like “a hand” with your frightful festivities, so they designed September’s kit, Bone Appétit, with YOU in mind. I can’t wait for this kit!!!
This kit includes 20 food-safe treat boxes, a unique and exclusive Halloween stamp set, and a spooky, special-edition box. September’s kit also gives new meaning to the word “handmade.” (Cue the scary laughter!)
So don’t be in the dark this Halloween. Subscribe at paperpumpkin.com by September 10 to get in on the fun. Find my name to be on my list: Karen Fontinelle
It’s time to sign up for Paper Pumpkin and get your August Kit in the mail in just a couple weeks! This kit will be most welcome because it will give us a taste of fall colors! The kit includes 6 gift bags and 12 gift tags. Some Paper Pumpkin subscribers like to have a variety of projects throughout the year, not just cards. Other subscribers only want cards.
Well, this month Stampin’ Up! has solved that problem! If you are a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, you will get this August kit with the gift bags and tags AND you have the option to purchase an Add-On Kit to make cards!
The Gift of Fall Add-On Bundle is a separate purchase for those who would like to convert their August Paper Pumpkin kit into cards.
The Gift of Fall Add-On Bundle card designs offer a great sneak of the designs and elements to come in the August kit.
Once you have completed the August kit, you will have extra kit components so you can easily combine them with the add-on without having to purchase additional kits.
You will need to purchase the add-on bundle in the Online Store. You will not be able to add it to a Paper Pumpkin subscription purchase.
The price for the add-on bundle is $10.00 and is available for Paper Pumpkin subscribers only. This add-on is available beginning August 1, while supplies last!
Watch this video to find out more about the August Paper Pumpkin Kit:
Don’t miss out! Remember, once you get the kit you can make whatever you want with the materials inside. And every month, alternative ideas are posted online if you want to try something different. Sometimes I made the project as described and then I might look online and see what else I could do and try one or two of those ideas.
You could use these gift bags for back-to-school teacher gifts or even back-to-school treats for your own kids. Maybe favors for a small party or dinner or make them and save for closer to Halloween. Cut them up and make cards!
Stampin’ Up! guarantees all kits so there is no risk. If Paper Pumpkin is not for you, contact Stampin’ Up! (The nicest people take your calls!) Or cancel any time just by going into your account and stopping your subscription. If you like it but need to take a break, just go into your account and skip a month or two. The magic date to make any changes is always the 10th of the month. Kits are billed and sent out a few days after the 10th.
Stampin’ Up! has begun coordinating Paper Pumpkin kits with product suites in the new Stampin’ Up! Catalog. This July Kit coordinates with not one, but THREE product suites that you can mix and match with the kit!
Here is what you will be making (don’t read if you want to be surprised!):
Makes 9 mailable cards with envelopes (3 each of 3 designs)
Coordinating colors: Gold, Kraft, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Pear Pizzazz, Pretty Peacock, Sahara Sand, Seaside Spray, and Terracotta Tile
I’m sure you will have fun with your Paper Pumpkin Kit! Just don’t miss out on the original shipment because they often don’t have many extra kits later! The cost is only $22/month and that includes shipping plus everything you need in your kit. With your first kit, you even receive a special acrylic block to use with the stamp set inside.
