I subscribe to our Paper Pumpkin kits! I love getting the kits in the mail each month but I have a bunch of them that I haven’t gotten to!
I had a number of past years Christmas boxes because I always make my own cards so i decided to make Christmas tags with the stamps and some of the items from past Paper Pumpkins!
Want to join me and make some very cute Christmas Tags for your holidays?
I will be out at two local library next week – Greenville Area Library Tuesday, December 12th, at 5:45pm and the Conneaut Lake Library on Wednesday, December 13th from 1-3pm. RSVP directly to the local libraries. The cost of the class is $10 for 10 different Christmas tags and below are the tags we will make!
Hope to see you out next week!

Happy shopping and baking and have a Merry Christmas if I do not see you in class!

beyond the horizon – march 2022 – paper pumpkin cards and alternatives

by | Apr 1, 2022 | card samples, paper pumpkin/kit collection alternatives, paper pumpkin/kits collection

Last month’s paper pumpkin featured cards in the same style as our very popular New Horizons DSP! The following cards are made from the kit. The first three are made as directed in the kit – all others are alternative projects using the items in the kit and some extra supplies.

These next three are made using the kit’s instructions.

The following cards use parts and pieces from the first card shown above, making alternative projects/cards with the given materials. It is fun to stretch your imagination and think outside the box!
These next cards are alternatives from the parts and pieces of the second card shown above!
The following card is an alternative using some of the parts and pieces from the first and second cards!
The last pictures show the alternative cards from the parts and pieces of the third card shown above!
The next photographs are samples using the envelope papers!
I hope this inspired you to order a paper pumpkin and try your hand at the fun projects – whether following the directions to the tee or going off on your own and making a creation unique to you!

Now go out nd create your own art – one stamp at a time!

LOL To say I am a little behind with my paper pumpkins is the understatement of the year!! But I love them and even though this one is from April (and probably not the oldest one in my stash not done!!) it could not have come at a better time! Time’s recently have been tough for everyone – pandemic, isolation, anxiety, depression, economic, political and general world unrest…I would save we could all use our own Hope Box!! I did this entire kit exactly as designed – it was so awesome! My only regret is that I only had one to do! Kudos to the Stampin’ Up! Paper Pumpkin design team!! Tomorrow is the last day to register for the Beyond the Horizons paper Pumpkin and I have a feeling this is going to be another epic one! You get a free extra stamp set if you sign up for a subscription before March 10th – (you can cancel at any time) $23.50 in the United States for a stamp set, an ink spot, full colored pamphlet of detailed instruction and a link to a video plus all the consumables to make the projects as is and extra pieces to venture out of the box and make your own designs!! You do not want to miss this one!
Let me know if you need any assistance if you would like to start a Paper pumpkin subscription today!

Hope this inspires you to craft today and create your own work of art – one stamp at a time!

so cool – april 2021 paper pumpkin alternative projects 19-16-9-2

April Paper Pumpkin came a little late do to some supply issues – just another COVID interruption – but boy was it worth the wait – it is potentially my favorite paper pumpkin stamp set to date! I love that it coordinates with the Sweet Ice Cream set and Designer Series paper! You are probably wondering about the blog post title – what in the world is the 19-16-9-2?
Well this paper pumpkin kit makes 12 cards – 3 each of 4 designs IF you follow the directions and make the cards exactly as is…but there are many demonstrators (including myself) that take the opportunity each month to show everyone just how versatile these kits can be. I made one of each of the 4 original kit designs and then I went to work creating my own works of art and came up with 19 – 3 x 3 cards using the stickers in the kit, 16 full size cards using mainly the kit components (including the 4 original designs) , 9 cards using paper that I made and the stamps included in the kit and 2 scrapbooking pages (a 12″x12″ and an 8 1/2″x11″!) PHEW!  That is a total of 44 cards and 2  double page layout scrapbooking pages!

Here are the four pre-designed original shape cards from the kit:

Using the 2 sticker sheets that came in the kit – I cut 12″x12″ cardstock into 3″x 6″ pieces scored at 3″ to make 8 cards from one sheet of 12″x12″ cardstock. I used my blender brushes and matching shades of ink to create a subtle colored background on the cardfront. I adhered the stickers and stamped sentiments and viola – easy cards to attach to a gift/gift bag or a lunchbox note or a million other ways to use these adorable 3″ x 3″ cards!
Next I cut most of the cards in half and mounted the shape cards onto full sized cards and added sentiments and sequins! I colored the plain card backs with ink and distressed them with water droplets.
Finally I created paper to mimic the backgrounds of the popsicles – I used my blending brushes and covered an 8 1/2″ x 11″ piece of cardstock with Mambo Melon ink, Gorgeous Grape ink, and Pacific Point ink, overlapping the colors. I took an old toothbrush and a small cup of water and dripped and splattered the water onto the inked cardstock. The water droplets lift the color and make a great distressed look!
I stamped the popsicle and watermelon image onto the paper I created and created the cards below!
And finally I created two scrapbooking pages – one 12″ x 12″ and one 81/2″ x 11″!

This was such a fun paper pumpkin – I hope this inspired you to go out and create some art of your own – one stamp at a time!

 

Happy Stampin’,

heres to you – march 2021 paper pumpkin alternative cards

Paper Pumpkin kits are awesome! March kit is called Here’s To You and features 8 cards of 2 designs with kraft envelopes and envelope liners. I wanted to get these pictures out earlier but my kit was missing the stamp set! Stampin’ Up! mailed me a new one right away and it arrived Wednesday so I got working on alternative cards to show some different ways to use the products in this kit. The first two cards are the ones that are pre-designed exactly as the kit describes!
Here are the pre-designed cards from the kit:
Here are my ReDesigned cards for alternative projects from the March 2021 Here’s To You Paper Pumpkin Card Kit!
Paper Pumpkin is a complete crafting kit mailed directly to your door – you receive everything you need to create beautiful cards or gift items! Try it for a month or longer your choice! The possibilities are endless!
It helps you go and create art one stamp at a time!
