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. 

Before I share the cards I made from this kit, click here to watch the unboxing video from Stampin' Up!

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!
