Stampin’ Up! April Paper Pumpkin – All The Little Things

My April Paper Pumpkin kit arrived, and I took a few minutes to assemble the cards. This is the All the Little Things kit and included some great foil accents on each card (it’s hard to see this in the photos). I will be sending six of the nine cards to a local hospital. The cards with the sentiment “Enjoy Your Day” also include an inside sentiment of “Happy Mother’s Day” and will be given to ladies at the hospital for Mother’s Day!

The kit included everything I needed to assemble all 9 cards – 3 cards each of 3 different designs! The kit included instructions for assembling the cards, an ink spot, stamps, embellishments, adhesives, card elements, sentiment labels, card bases and envelopes!

Here are the individual card designs…

I love receiving my Paper Pumpkin kit in the mail each month. It’s like receiving a surprise each and every month!

Weekend Get-Away!

My husband and I had a chance to get away over the weekend and we headed for our favorite seaside town, Cape May, New Jersey. If you’re not familiar with Cape May, it’s an old Victorian town surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Delaware Bay on the other side. It is one of the top 10 birdwatching destinations in the world and is home to a Coast Guard training center!

As we were finishing up dinner on Saturday night, we noticed that storm clouds were rolling in. We jumped in the car and headed to Sunset Beach for a good view of the ocean and the approaching storm.

Mother Nature is breathtaking…

While the photo below isn’t from this past weekend, I thought I would include it anyway. This is a view down the Washington Street Mall in Cape May. The Washington Street Mall is a three-block open air mall with quaint Victorian store fronts lining both sides of the street.

We’re already looking forward to our next trip to this little piece of paradise!

March Paper Pumpkin – Ten Years of Growth

My March 2023 Paper Pumpkin kit arrived – Ten Years of Growth, and I couldn’t wait to assemble these cards. They are so incredibly pretty! If my photos don’t do these cards justice it’s because I’m still tweaking the settings on my new phone…I’m getting there!

I donate cards to a local hospital, and I needed some Easter and Spring cards this month so rather than following the Paper Pumpkin instructions (which are included with the kit!) I changed things up ever so slightly. I did use Easter sentiments from the Celebrating You Stamp Set and the Daffodil Daydream Stamp set. I also switched out the supplied Polished Pink Ink Spot for Gorgeous Grape ink. I also added Fresh Freesia and Gorgeous Grape Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems to the cards. Other than those modifications, I assembled the card components as per the instructions.

Each of the cards contains gold foil accents…so pretty!

Paper Pumpkin Kits come with everything you need to complete the project. Unless you want to change things up and use other supplies you have on hand like I did.

It took me about an hour to assemble these cards…that’s it! The Ten Years of Growth Kit came with an additional stamp set and made a total of 9 cards – 3 each of 3 different designs. Sometimes the kits will include a little something extra. Which is awesome! The stamps in this kit will cover friendship, Easter, birthdays, Spring and Mother’s Day.

You can read all about the upcoming April Paper Pumpkin Kit below.

Have a wonderful day!

    Stampin’ Up! From The North Pole Gift Tags – November Paper Pumpkin Kit

    I hope everyone had an enjoyable Thanksgiving weekend and that you’ve recovered from all of the calories consumed on Thanksgiving Day! Perhaps you were out shopping on Black Friday in which case you most likely have already burned off those extra calories!

    I had the chance to complete the November Paper Pumpkin Kit – From The North Pole this past weekend. How cute are these gift tags? The kit came with everything needed to complete a total of 12 holiday gift tags – 4 each of 3 different designs!

    It was so much fun being able to open the box and follow the simple instructions included for each design. Stamps, an ink spot, gift tag bases, labels, embellishments and twine were included, and the kit contained enough supplies to complete all 12 tags! Below are photos of each individual tag.

    I’ll be using these gift tags for our family packages this Christmas and can’t wait! If you’re not a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, I highly recommend Paper Pumpkin. Receiving my Paper Pumpkin box in the mail each month is always a lot of fun and there is always a different project in each box. You can read more about the December Paper Pumpkin Kit below.

    If you’re not yet a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, I encourage you to give Paper Pumpkin a try! Here are my top 10 reasons why Paper Pumpkin should be at the top of your list.

    TOP 10 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD SUBSCRIBE TO PAPER PUMPKIN:

    1. You can subscribe to Paper Pumpkin on a month-to-month basis, a 3 month, 6 month or 12 month subscription so subscriptions are flexible
    2. Pause and resume your subscription at any time – you have control over your subscription (just be sure to take action before the 10th of the month if you don’t want the upcoming months’ kit!)
    3. Kit contents are different each month and may include cards or a project so there is lots of variety
    4. Kits arrive around the 20th of each month
    5. The kit includes everything you will need to complete your kit
    6. Instructions are included to complete kits, or you can change things up and add additional elements, rearrange kit components, etc. You have control over how you complete the kit.
    7. Kit materials contain quality products
    8. Kits can be shared with friends, or get the kids involved
    9. Once you complete your kit you will have left over materials that can be used on future projects, such as adhesives, stamps, ink spot, etc. Don’t throw away excess card punch outs…use them on a future project!
    10. Paper Pumpkin kits can be gifted, just purchase a prepaid code at stampinup.com and give it to someone awesome!

    Have I convinced you yet? I hope so! Paper Pumpkin kits are such a great value. If you’re a new crafter, it’s also a great way to dive right in and get your feet wet since the kits come with step-by-step instructions.

    Click here to register for the 3 hour Stampin’ Up! event.

    Everyone is invited and welcome to attend this FREE event!  There will be three card-making presentations and you are welcome to craft along.  If you don’t want to craft along, join us anyway!  It’s the perfect opportunity to hang out, watch, and be a part of the Stampin’ Up! experience.

    Product Ordering Details:

    World Card Making Day is all about making beautiful, heartfelt cards. During the event, Stampin’ Up! will walk you through several projects, and you can create the cards along with the presenters.  You’ll end up with new project ideas and some stunning new cards!

    To make the most of this experience, you can order the Cottage Rose Bundle from the 2022–2023 Annual Catalog, the Cottage Wreaths Bundle from the July–December 2022 Mini Catalog, or the Warm Welcome Bundle (which you can get EARLY from the January–June 2023 Mini Catalog beginning September 1)!   The bundles aren’t required to attend the event, but if you’d like to make the projects presented, you’ll want to get the bundles!

    As an added bonus, when you order ANY of the three bundles used for the event, you’ll get a FREE gift of Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels! (Note that even if you order all three bundles, you’ll only receive one Iridescent Pearls gift.) 

    Check out the Product Flyer below for the bundle ordering information (click on DOWNLOAD).  You can still attend this event without ordering the bundles, but it’ll be a lot more fun to craft together if you have one or more of the bundles!

    Be sure to order early to get your products in time for the World Card Making Day Creative Event.  The Cottage Rose and Cottage Wreaths bundle are both available now AND you’ll get the free Iridescent Pearls if you order them any time between now and October 1st!  And the Warm Welcome bundle will be available to order from September 1 – October 1 and you’ll get the free pack of pearls if you order that bundle during that timeframe!

    I’m really excited for these events – The Stampin’ Up World Card Making Day event and our Inkin’ Krew event! I hope you’ll be able to join in on the fun! Don’t forget to invite your crafting friends and family, too! If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me. See you soon!

    Sale-A-Bration Countdown! Earn Double Honey Drop Points Now Through Aug 31

    I’m offering double Honey Drop points beginning today through the last day of Sale-A-Bration which is August 31, 2022. Sort of a countdown of the final days of Sale-A-Bration!

    You might be asking – what are Honey Drop points?

    Qualifying customers can earn Honey Drop points from me as part of my Honeybee Rewards Program. Once you earn 16 Honey Drops you can earn products valued up to $40 from any current catalog from me. Here is how the double points work:

    • Place an order in my online store between August 22 and August 31 to earn double Honey Drops.
    • If you place an order of $25 (before shipping and any applicable tax) you will receive 2 Honey Drop points (instead of just one), for a $50 order you’ll earn 4 points, for a $75 order you’ll earn 6 points, and so on. Normally you would earn only 1 point for every $25 spent.
    • Collect sixteen (16) Honey Drops and you can earn any product or products with a value up to $40 from any current catalog and the item will be mailed directly to you! You’ll receive free shipping, too!
    • Each of your online orders must be for $25 or more for you to be eligible to earn double Honey Drop points (before Shipping and any applicable tax).
    • And, it’s still Sale-A-Bration time so if you place at least a $50 order from me you will earn a FREE Sale-A-Bration item!
    • Don’t forget to use my current host code, AHPKF7WD, when placing orders. This qualifies you to receive a free thank you gift from me (if your order is over $150 don’t use the host code. You are eligible for Stampin’ Rewards but you’ll still get the free gift from me).
