Fun In The Sun Paper Pumpkin Kit - July 2023..........Loved It!

When I received my July Paper Pumpkin Subscription I couldn't wait to open the box and explore the contents. It's amazing! There are enough supplies to make 9 beautiful summer, beachy type cards with matching envelopes that are so bright and cheerful they'll put a smile on your face right away!

These fun fold cards are just perfect the way they are in the kit, so I'm just making them exactly the way they're supposed to be. Check out this video so you can watch how they are assembled.

The July Paper Pumpkin kit includes:

All the supplies you need to create nine cards with fun accordion folds
3 each of 3 designs, with coordinating envelopes.
An all-occasion stamp set to send friends and family words of encouragement, support, and kindness.
Iridescent Sequin Embellishments.
1 Classic Stampin’ Spot: Daffodil Delight.
Summertime Ephemera pieces, labels, and paper pieces.
Adhesive Dots and Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Completed card size: 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″
Coordinating Stampin’ Up! colors: Azure Afternoon, Basic Gray, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Melon Mambo, Pool Party

Here are my cards:

In my opinion this is one of the best kits this summer, and the cards which are awesome looking were so extremely easy to assemble. The most time consuming piece was popping out all the add ons from the sheets and sorting all the bits and bobs that made up each card. It also helps if you stamp the sentiments for the cards and set those aside until you're ready to use them.

The instructions for each card are very visual. There are a series of pictures for each card that show exactly where the glue dots and tear n' tape go on the back of the ephemera pieces or layers, and where to adhere those pieces to the card base. It's unusual to get a PP kit with 3-D or Fun Fold cards, so for beginners folding the card bases might be a little tricky, however if you follow the written instructions and or watch the assembly video it will be a piece of cake.

Believe me if you're a beginner and you don't want to try anything on your own, follow the instructions and you'll have a set of nine beautiful cards with matching envelopes in no time at all. If you're more advanced or an avid stamper you can still have a lot of fun and create even more projects by taking the kit apart and doing your own thing. I read one demo has made 19 cards from this kit by cutting apart the various layers and the envelopes and using coordinating cardstocks for the bases.
