I mentioned the Paper Pumpkin kit a couple of weeks ago but didn’t share a kit as an example. Here’s the kit from last July which I just received in my recent Stampin’ Up! order – one perk for Paper Pumpkin subscribers is that you can order past kits. My kit for this month is still in transit. I say that this is the kit, but it’s actually just making the kit according to the instructions – there are quite a few pieces left for other projects after you’ve made six cards and six gift boxes.

The “WISH” and the striped border are stickers so they are just applied to the card. The kit includes an exclusive stamp set with ten images and a blackberry bliss ink spot, the hardest part was deciding what to stamp! The silver stars are a large sheet with far more than you need for this, I’ll have to think what else they can be used for – including the stars from the middle of these stars.

There were options for the tag on the box too. The kit has both hearts and star stickers and of course there’s again the choice of which sentiment to use. I’m going to use the remaining 5 cards and boxes for an upcoming class but plan to create some other projects with the leftovers.

I wasn’t very impressed with Paper Pumpkin a year ago but now the kits have improved immensely. I was feeling creatively blocked today and couldn’t come up with anything myself that I wanted to make and it was so easy to open the Paper Pumpkin box and just enjoy making something. No decisions, just create. And now I have leftovers and, even better, a new stamp set.
