December 2023 Paper Pumpkin Kit

Yesterday was my first stamping day since before Christmas, and it was both productive and enjoyable.  Oh to have quiet time to myself such a blessing!   

I received my December Paper Pumpkin kit, right around Christmas but hadn't had a chance to open it yet.  When I did, I was simply blown away! The kit called "All The Best", truly is one of the best kits I've worked on this year, and I'm so happy I ordered it.  

Here's what was included in the All The Best December 2023  Paper Pumpkin Kit

The All the Best Paper Pumpkin kit came with enough product to make nine cards.  There were three card designs (three each of three designs), and nine absolutely stunning coordinating envelopes. There were three hand drawn gold embossed floral mats and enough yellow floral pieces to decorate all the cards. The twelve labels were trimmed with gold foil and a package of beautiful blue faceted gem embellishments, a stamp set, a Pebbled Path stampin' spot, glue dots, tear n' tape and an acetate box to hold the finished cards and envelopes.

HERE ARE THE CARDS I MADE WITH THIS KIT:

Although the kit contains enough supplies for 9 cards, I was able to make 19 different cards from the supplies provided and some additional materials I had on hand. 

I'm terrible at following directions so I just began by taking apart all the embellishments and then I cut the card bases into 5 1/4 x 4" mats. I couldn't bear to cut up the envelopes, as they were so beautiful and compliment the cards so well, but if I had I probably would have had 25 cards or more.  When I ran out of the pretty yellow flower embellishments I did some embossing with gold embossing powder and some plain stamping to create backgrounds for the pieces that were left. 

I really enjoyed using the stamp set that came with this kit, especially the sentiments which are perfect for birthday or friendship cards.  Here are the extra materials I used for my cards.  

Card Stock:
So Saffron, Daffodil Delight, Balmy Blue, Whisper White and Gold Foil and Whisper White Envelopes. 

Ink:
Old Olive, Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight, Momento Black, Versa Mark

Embellishments:
Brass Butterflies, Gold Embossing Powder, Spring Flowers embossing folder (retired). 

As a Paper Pumpkin Subscriber I'm able to order a kit refill, which I've already done, so I can make more cards using these beautiful materials.  That is one of the perks of being a subscriber.  If you want to know more about Paper Pumpkin give me a call or drop me an email and I'll answer any questions you have.  

Thanks for visiting today and I hope you enjoyed these cards as much as I did making them. 

Happy Stamping!

Home for the Holidays - October Paper Pumpkin Kit

Christmas is fast approaching, and I'm almost ready.  How about you?  Are your cards in the mail?  Did you make tags this year?  

I made a lot of different Christmas cards again this year, using different stamp sets and products, but the ones I really enjoyed making were from the October Paper Pumpkin kit - Home for the Holidays.  Last year's Paper Pumpkin winter kits were so awesome, I wasn't sure if they could top them this year, but I was sooooo wrong!  

The Home for the Holidays kit came with enough card fronts, card bases, labels, envelopes, ink, dimensionals, glue dots, and sparkle glue to make at nine cards.  It also had this cute little stamp set which I really love. 

By cutting apart the card fonts and envelopes I was able to stretch the supplies so I actually made 24 cards and still have a couple of odds and ends left over. 

I also combined a refill package called Warm Wishes from the November Paper Pumpkin kit with left over products from the Home For the Holidays kit to make twenty more cards.  Paper Pumpkin monthly subscribers can purchase refills for their favourite kits while supplies last at a very reasonable price.

Here are some additional pictures of cards I made:

I like to change up the bases and use my coloured cardstocks as they have a little more firmness than the card backers in the paper pumpkin kit.  I used Boho Bluem Lemon Lolly and Sweet Sorbet cardstocks for my bases. I also combined different Christmas themed designer papers like the One Horse Open Sleigh paper.  What fun to mix and match. 

Happy Stamping!
