July Paper Pumpkin-A Couple Alternatives

Paper Pumpkin has evolved into a fantastic box of fun!  I just can't wait for it to be delivered each month!  I am one of those who avoids all social media about the kits until I get mine.

Paper Pumpkin has been innovative in trying some new ideas, too.  They have had kits inspired by Sara and Shelli, leaders of the company.  They have had kits that coordinate with stamp sets in the catalog.  The July kit coordinates with not just one suite in the catalog, but 3!  The On My Mind kit coordinates with the Woven Thread Suite, the Garden Lane Suite, and the Come Sail Away Suite!

Here's a video from Stampin' Up! that shows all about the kit.

 

Here's a picture of my cards made using the directions provided.

Those cards are so cute.  You get enough supplies to make 3 of each card for a total of 9.  Of course, it's also fun to come up with some of your own designs.  I had to try!

For this card, I used the Pear Pizzazz circle provided for another card.  The sentiment is from the On My Mind stamp set in the kit and is stamped in Pear Pizzazz.

For this card, I added in some of the Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper.  The saying and shell are from the On My Mind stamp set.  Some of the Linen Thread is added behind the banner.  I'm liking the simplicity of this card!

The background of this card is stamped, some full force and some stamped off, using the Woven Heirlooms stamp set.  I added some of the patterned paper from the kit and made a label using the Stitched Nested Labels Dies.

All of these cards can be made in minutes!  It's so fun!

A video has also been released for the upcoming August Paper Pumpkin.

 

This Paper Pumpkin will be a fall kit called Gift of Fall.  There will be 6 craft bags to decorate.  But Paper Pumpkin knows that many of you want to make cards.  This innovative group is releasing a Paper Pumpkin Add-On.  This will only be available to those who subscribe to Paper Pumpkin.  There will be 24 card bases, 12 of 2 designs and coordinating envelopes.  This Add-On can be ordered as part of a regular order using the #152885 for $10.  Go here to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin.  Go here to find my online store.  This kit will be available August 1st and are on a while supplies last basis.  Order on the 1st and you should have them be the time your kit arrives!

October 2018 Paper Pumpkin Friends of a Feather

Did you get the Friends of a Feather October Paper Pumpkin?  When I first saw it, I thought that it just wasn't for me.  Once I started working with it, I liked it more and more.  This kit makes 4 each of 2 designs for a total of 8 cards.  You even get cute printed envelopes!  

Here's the quick video from Stampin' Up! that shows the kit.  There's a great stamp set and a Night of Navy ink spot.

 

Here's a picture of the cards that I made that are pretty close to the directions that came with the kit.

There is a smaller fold out card with fantastic lazer cut feathers on the front.  Wow!

I'm intrigued with the colors used in this kit.  I would not have put them all together, but they really work.

There are lazer cut feathers of many colors as well as lots of leaves in different colors.  Look at the fancy scalloped edges on these cards!

Of course I had to come up with my own ideas for this kit so here we go.

 

This card starts with a base of Grapefruit Grove.  The Mint Macaron layer is 3 3/4 x 5.  

The Whisper White layer is 3 5/8 x 4 7/8.  Stamp the leaf over the background in Grapefruit Grove and Mint Macaron. 

Turn one of the leaves over to the white side and sponge with a dauber with Mint Macaron ink.  Use the Fresh Fig and the Cajun Craze leaves too.  Adhere to the card.  Add some of the smaller Grapefruit Grove and Night of Navy leaves.

Use the Nature's Twine and pull apart strands in Grapefruit Grove and Mint Macaron.  Use those strands to stretch across the card and to make a bow.  Add the bow with a glue dot.  The saying is stamped in Mint Macaron on one of the white labels from the kit.  Add it with dimensionals.  Add some of the sequins from the Twinkle Adhesive Backed Sequins.

For this card, the base is Cajun Craze.  The Night of Navy layer is 4 x 5 1/4.  

The Whisper White layer is 3 3/4 x 5.  Stamp the three little lines over as interet for the background.  Stamp in Cajun Craze.  Add some Cajun Craze Designer Series Paper from the Regals collection.  It measures 1 1/2 x 3 3/4.

Stamp the container from the Country Lane in Memento Black.  Color with the Light and Dark Smoky Slate Blends.  Use the Color Lifter to lighten it up a little.  Cut this out and add with dimensionals.

But wait!  Before you adhere the container, add some of the twine.  I went around 2 times.  Add a bow with glue dots after the container is down.  Add small leaves to the container using Cajun Craze, Coastal Cabana, Grapefruit Grove, and Night of Navy.  Finish off with some of the sequins from the kit.

So, I hope you found this helpful.  Refills of this kit will not be available.  That's sad, but wait again.  The November kit is available to order now.  YOU WANT THIS!  The Christmas kit is always very popular!

Time is running out to get this kit.  Subscribe today!  You only have until November 10th!
