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!
It’s always exciting to see the new items available in the Stampin’ Up! catalog. Where are my stamp geeks at? This is the annual catalog which will be available for the entire year from June 3, 2020 to May 3, 2021. The catalog program is switching up just a bit which I think will be fantastic. The annual catalog is actually a smidge smaller than years prior BUT the two supplement catalogs will be bigger and around for longer than before. That is great news. More time with the Christmas catalog? Yes, please! (It starts in August. Wow!)
There is also a Beginner Brochure which is small and easy to navigate. This is intended to make it easier for beginners to know where to start. There are actually two stamp sets in there that aren’t even in the annual catalog so everyone will be getting BOTH catalogs when you request a catalog because I don’t want you to miss out on anything.
There are a few promotions going on in June as well that I want you to be aware of. For any party or personal order that reaches $250+, the hostess or orderer gets an additional $25 free in Stampin’ Rewards! So instead of getting $25, you’ll be getting $50!
If you are looking through the catalog and your wish list is SUPER LONG like mine is you might consider getting the starter kit which has an additional awesome bonus in the month of June. The starter kit is always the best deal in the catalog. You get $125 worth of product for only $99. You’ll enjoy free shipping on this order, a free past Paper Pumpkin kit, business supplies, and a box of current catalogs to hand out to your friends. Plus you can enjoy a 20% discount on your future orders. As a demo I get to view and order from catalogs at least a month early. There is NO OBLIGATION to sell or have parties and you’ll get no pressure from me to do so. If you want to continue getting the discount you can meet the quarterly quota and if you don’t you just get to be my customer again. BONUS: In the month of June you get to pick ANY bundle from the catalog for FREE on top of all the other goodies you pick out. I love that Stampin’ Up! lets you pick your own starter kit instead of picking it for you. You get what YOU want! So if you want everything, consider this option and join my team #spreadthejoy. <3
PS. You can stack these two offers together! Get the starter kit for $99, get the extra bundle AND host a party/place an order over $250 and enjoy all the extra Stampin’ Rewards yourself! Gotta love freebies. You have until the end of June!
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.
