Getting Started with Paper Pumpkin!!



Can you relate to Cinderella?  Work Work Work.  Do you wish you had just a little bit of time to sit and create something beautiful.  Or do you find that when you do have some time to craft you find yourself wasting that time trying to think of something to create!?  Yep!  Been there done that!  Many times.


What if I told you for only $20 plus tax (shipping is included) you can have your own personal Paper Fairy Godmother (AKA Stampin' Up!) who would deliver a lovely little orange box in your mailbox filled with everything you need to have your own personal paper escape?  Yes!  Tell me more, you ask?   

What is it?  Paper Pumpkin is a monthly subscription kit club from Stampin' Up! that arrives in your mailbox once a month that includes everything you need to create a cute set of cards (usually 8) , gift packaging, a seasonal home decor piece or even a gift you can make and give!  It's a paper surprise every month!  You will receive step by step instructions along with an exclusive stamp set, ink, pre-cut papers, adhesive, embellishments, etc. to make the project for that month. The first box you receive will even include a free acrylic block to use in your kits every month.  All especially designed and prepared with the busy crafter in mind so most projects can be completed in around 30 minutes!

What kind of commitment do I have to make?  No commitment is required.  
You can cancel your subscription at any time or even skip a month if you really need to.  However, be forewarned that once the 10th has passed and the kits have shipped there is no going back.  They are never made available again.

Can I give this kit as a gift to my crafty friend?  Yes!  You can purchase pre-paid subscriptions (for yourself or to give as gifts) on my website, available for 1, 3, 6, or 12 months.   

What if I LOVE a kit and wish I could make more?  No problem!  Subscribers are able to purchase refill kits (avail. on my website for $8 + tax & shipping).  The refill kits have a duplicate set of all the consumable materials in the kit to recreate the fun, but keep in mind, if you love it that much others might too so get your refill before they sell out!  (note:  refill kits do not include ink or stamps).

Can I subscribe to get more than one kit?  Absolutely!   These kits are great for all ages and skill levels.  Maybe in the summer months you want to up your subscription to make sure you have enough for your kiddos to participate, or what about mom when she comes to visit for the holidays?  Paper Pumpkin provides a simple, low stress way to get together to craft and create memories (and gorgeous projects)! You can always adjust your subscription to meet your needs (just make sure you do so before the 10th every month).  Paper Pumpkin kits are great to take on vacation too!  As everything is included that you need in that heavy duty little box all you might want to do is toss in your stamp block and a pair of scissors and your good to go!

But I'm an advanced crafter, will these kits be too simple for me?  Oh no, not at all!  You will find many people that love to step "outside of the box" and use their supplies to make something completely different.  There are many ideas on Pinterest and I will post alternate ideas as well.  Even the beginner crafter will gain confidence to do this during their subscription period.  It is especially helpful if the intended project doesn't fit your needs that month.  Cards are on the menu but you need gift tags?  No problem, cut those cards into tags and use the embellishments to decorate them as you would like.  The sky is the limit!
