Happy Sunday! 5.19.2024 Update

Well, friends, it has been a hot minute.

We both had some minor health things to deal with, and all is well. It was a trying few weeks, and I am ready to get back on track with my cards and creating ๐Ÿ‘

I’m working on some fun folds, and my May Paper Pumpkin kit arrived. What a great kit! I will do a live unbox and card creation tomorrow. (May 20, 2024) I hope Streamyard has gotten the bugs worked out so it can be on both Facebook and You Tube. Please check both to find me! If you Subscribe to either, you’ll get a notification when I am on.

Here’s a peek at my fun folds. Video coming soon! I hope to see you there!

Paper Pumpkin April 2024 Unboxing

Companion video on You Tube

Hello, hello!

I filmed a live unboxing on Friday of the April 2024 Paper Pumpkin kit, Delicate Wings, which as you can imagine, if full of glittering, gold foiled butterflies! It was so much fun to open up the kit live with everyone!

When you purchase a Paper Pumpkin subscription ($25 per month) your kit arrives in a sturdy orange box that is shrink wrapped. When you open it up, everything you need to create the three card projects inside is all included. You can make three of each design, which gives you nine total cards. You cannot purchase nine cards of this quality from the store!

The kits are a great option for someone who is new to paper crafting and card making, who would like to dip their toes in. They are terrific for those of you who are on a limited budget or have limited space to store crafting supplies. They are also fun for the kids or grandkids to create cards with! You can pause your subscription at any time with no penalty and pick up whenever you would like to.

The first kit you purchase will include a clear acrylic block for your stamp set…don’t lose it! ๐Ÿ˜‰ All the Paper Pumpkin stamp sets will use this sized block. You can purchase extras from Stampin’ Up! or purchase a sized D block. The size difference between the blocks is about 1/4 inch in the thickness, and the Stampin’ Up! block has the rounded comfort edges. (SU block shown is a different size) I have extra Paper Pumpkin blocks to use at my in-person card classes.

This kit didn’t include any embellishments because the cards themselves are so amazing! The foiled backgrounds on the card bases are amazing and really stand out with the Basic Grey and Lost Lagoon backgrounds. Here are the 3 samples I put together in the video. I added the gold dots to the butterfly with embellishments that I had.

I hope you enjoy the video! Please subscribe if you’d like to see more.

Till next time, God Bless and happy crafting!
