Paper Pumpkin
Paper pumpkin is a monthly subscription crafting kit. Sometimes cards, sometimes 3D items, but always fun! The kits have easy to follow directions and all the supplies you need to make the projects as shown. We like to mix it up a bit and come up with alternatives to the standard kit. Above the boxing videos are some of our recent projects.
If you are interested in finding out more or subscribing, reach out to me or click here.
Subscribe by the 10th of any month to receive that month's kit.

When I saw the mini card in this month's paper pumpkin kit I thought that this shadow box card would be the perfect alternative! Find the directions for the shadow box card here.

Lately, when I have been traveling I have been bringing a Paper Pumpkin kit with me and experimenting with different cards. I usually bring 2 sheets of coordinating cardstock, plus a few white and black sheets, coordinating ink, and an extra embellishment and matching ribbon. Also a few more stamps from other kits, along with basic tools and adhesives. This month I brought the Life is Sweet kit, matching paper and inks, basic jewels, and the stamps from Pick of the Crop (June 2022) and Memorable Meadows (March 2024), including the bonus stamp. On pinterest I found some really great tutorials by Klompen Stampers for fun folds. I highly recommend this series. She walks you through making templates for fun fold cards to help you get inspiration to use your supplies. I made the first 4 cards using the tutorial from Fun Fold Card Making Templates - Volume 1, the next 4 from Fun Fold Card Making Templates - volume 2, one card from Fun Fold Ideas and Templates to Love - volume 3, and one card made randomly with the very few supplies I had left.

Using solid cardstock and adding in another Father's Day stamp set I was able to make several different Father's Day cards with this month's kit. I was travelling with minimal supplies and very happy with the outcome!

I had just a few bits and pieces left from the kit that I made a few years ago. Here is what I did with them, along with some help from other stamp sets. I just love the z fold that Debbie showed us in March!
