Our kit selection is getting an upgrade: new kits available online! They are while supplies last, but new ones will be continually added so the selection should always be fresh and fun! All of them are all-inclusive kits. There are two levels: those with stamps/ink and those with pre-printed words. The kits with stamps come with an acrylic block, mini ink spot and a mini photopolymer stamp set and are $19. The others have die-cut word pieces and are only $12. They all make multiple cards so you really get a great value for the cost. You can see the current selection below.

How could you use these?
*These would be great to do multiples as a group party (think bridal shower, girls wine night or kid’s birthday party).
*Put together a fun craft night for the family.
*Great gift idea since they’re all-inclusive.
*Take one on vacation with you to do while you relax.
There are endless ways to enjoy these simple kits. They are created with the beginner crafter in mind so sit back and make something beautiful. ❤ Order yours today!
I just love magnetic closures. It’s so satisfying hearing the ‘click’ closed. This project uses the Posted for You bundle in the Annual catalog. You can save 10% on this both the stamp set and punch if you get them bundled through May 3, 2021. I love this stamp set and the punch is a MUST HAVE for sentiments. It can pair with so many things and stamp shapes are super cute. Did you know you can make a smaller size punched image by inserting it back into the punch? They keep releasing other stamp sets to coordinate with it as well, like the Festive Post (retired) from the recent holiday catalog and the new Snailed It bundle in the new spring mini so I feel like it is extra versatile.
The measurements for this project:
Base: 11″ x 4-1/4″ (half a piece of cardstock), scored on the long side halfway at 5-1/2″, flipped over and scored from both ends at 3″ – Fold into a W fold.
DSP: 2-7/8″ x 4-1/8″, corners rounded on one long side (Use one for the front and two for the inside, optional for the back)
I used the Classic label punch and 1-1/2″ circle punch to punch the hole for the gift card. You can watch my tutorial on YouTube for a visual on how it goes together. I show an alternate version at the end of the video using the Heartfelt stamp and punches bundle. I also LOVE these layering heart punches. Check out the video to see the Navy and Calypso Coral Valentine’s version. ❤

Paper Pumpkin kits are so much fun to get in the mail. But if you find yourself not getting around to making and sending the whole kit every month (or even if you do), you might be susceptible to “red box pile up.” I found a storage method that not only saves space, but makes my stamps easier to access so I end up using them more. Win win!
I use the Avery 23011 5.5″ x 8.5″ binders with an extra storage pouch inside. I found mine on clearance at a local store, but they are still sold on Amazon. And the sheet protectors are Avery 77004 found on Amazon here. I do have to trim down my Paper Pumpkin instruction sheet to fit the sleeves: a quarter of an inch off each side and half an inch off the bottom. If I lose any words from the instructions (rare) I just trim them out of the scrap I cut off and tape them back inside my instruction sheet. I put the instruction sheet in a page protector sleeve and put the matching stamp set in the back of the sleeve. I only keep the instructions and stamps in the binders so they are easy to page through. I find that each binder holds a year’s worth of Paper Pumpkin quite nicely. If I’m wondering what colors coordinate with a kit, what ink spot came with what kit or where an embellishment came from, it’s easy to see with a glance at the back of each sleeve. And since March kits have featured an additional free stamp set for the past two years (whoop whoop!), I put those in the front pouch.
I store all the paper and embellishments in our 6″ x 8″ cellophane bags and label it with my label maker. I use little craft bags I found at Walmart to store little punch outs and embellishments. You can find them at your local Walmart store in the craft section near the beads. (Each bag size is sold as 100 bags for $1-$2 so they are really economical and handy to have for other craft ideas as well.) I can store a year’s worth of the labeled Paper Pumkpin bags in a Walmart shoebox size clear tote bin, even with twine and other bulky items. These are only a $1 at Walmart and I use them to bring stamping supplies with me on vacation, stamp parties and events. I probably have about 20 or more in the house for various uses.
**Side note: I can fit 2 of the Walmart clear shoebox totes with lids on inside a Thirty One Zip-Top Organizing Utility Tote style 4451. I find these bags are very durable and work great for toting my supplies to and from craft fairs, especially that big Deluxe Utility Tote style 4441. It holds 6 of the Walmart shoebox clear tote bins! I don’t sell Thirty One bags, but you can buy through your local Thirty One rep or use my friend Amy Masi from these links.**
I hope this helps you get organized with your Paper Pumpkin kits and gets you using the awesome stamp sets more often. They really are a great value and you should keep on using them. Tune in to my Facebook page for live Paper Pumpkin videos and a video walk through of this organization idea.
