When my Paper Pumpkin Kit finally shows up in my mailbox each month, usually the weekend is a good time to sit down and make the project in the kit! These are the three card designs to make with the kit and from there, you can make whatever you want with the supplies!
I usually like to make the project as designed first, and then decide if I want to continue or make some alternates. There are always alternative ideas for each Paper Pumpkin Kit on the internet and even on the directions Stampn’ Up! sends in the box!
This kit was to celebrate ten years of Paper Pumpkin! I think I attended the Convention when the first kit was introduced, or at least I remember I got a free kit at the Convention! I always say it’s a present you give yourself to get a papercrafting kit right in the mail with everything you need inside, but it really does seem like a gift! You open the cute box and inside you’ll find the package of supplies all wrapped up in colored tissue paper, just like a gift! So it IS a gift you give yourself!! And you can gift someone else, too!
The cards in this kit have a pretty design already printed on the front, and then there are diecut pieces of foliage and ferns and pots to add to the card front. There are pieces on which to stamp a greeting and add that to the card. I put the greetings on two cards but I may use another greeting from another stamp set on some of the other cards. So the kits are always easy to make for anyone.
This celebratory kit even came with an extra FREE stamp set to use any time! Paper Pumpkin often has little surprises for us!
Here is a video to see how this kit went together. There is always a video you can watch plus the directions that come in the kit. Some months there are extra full kits or “refills” that are available in the Online Store IF you are a Paper Pumpkin subscriber. If you decided you loved a particular kit and wanted another one, or, for example, at Christmas time maybe you want two kits to make a lot of gift tags or cards. If you subscribe now to receive the April Kit but wish you had the March kit after you subscribe you can shop in the Online Store under Paper Pumpkin -Past Kits, Refills & More and presently, purchase the “Refill” for the March Kit. You won’t get the stamp sets or ink spot but you can stamp greetings from sets you already own….or simply write in your own greeting! All the other supplies are included!
Now if this Paper Pumpkin monthly kit idea appeals to you, be sure to sign up SOON for the April Paper Pumpkin Kit! The deadline will be April 10th and kits are mailed out soon after.

This kit is coming with a little extra! A box organizer! It will have some narrow strips that you can fit together in an empty Paper Pumpkin Kit box to divide it into sections to hold the ink spots you get in each kit or however you want to use them.
