Did you know that Paper Pumpkin has a birthday?! That’s right, it’s in March and they are turning 6! WOW! To celebrate, they are including an extra FREE stamp set in the March box. Be sure to sign up HERE before March 10th to get your kit!
The February 2019 Paper Pumpkin Kit was called Grown with Kindness and included 9 beautiful succulent themed cards and a gorgeous stamp set. I had a lot of fun putting this kit together in my VIP Stamp Lounge, a Facebook group exclusive to my customers and team. Want to be part of my growing community? Just shop with me or join my team and I’ll email you a link to join us!
This month’s kit was very easy to put together, and offered lots of extra supplies that I will be able to use on my alternate projects that I’ll be showing you next week! So be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel and follow me on Facebook to make sure you don’t miss some great ideas!
I really loved all the stamps in this stamp set. The fonts are beautiful and all the extra little accent stamps are super fun! I was so inspired to get creative after playing with this set, I went on to make two different alternate cards, which you can see next week during the Paper Pumpkin Blog Hop! For now, check out my video that I filmed live in my Facebook Group, Melissa’s VIP Stamp Lounge.

Oh boy Kre8tors, you’re in for a real surprise today! Not only do I have a super long chit chat video for you to enjoy, but I’m sharing TWO amazing projects with you using products from the Occasions catalog! I’m so excited about these! Let’s get started!
This card was made using the Floral Romance Suite products on page 11 from the Occasions Catalog. I used almost all the products in this suite, except for two! I started with a piece of Petal Pink from the Floral Romance 12″ x 12″ Cardstock Pack, which includes the three colors that coordinate with the Specialty Designer Series Papers.
I love that this cardstock comes in a larger size, perfect for 3D projects such as boxes. I decided to cut my piece down to a standard card base. I then cut a card mat and ran it through the Big Shot Die Cutting and Embossing Machine with the Lace Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. It gave this card such a huge pop!
I fussy cut by hand some of the leaf bunches from the vellum sheet in the Floral Romance Specialty DSP pack. I didn’t cut as many as I wanted, because I was making this card during a live Facebook video and wanted to cut down the time. It is still gorgeous with fewer pieces! I also cut out some sprigs of plain vellum using the coordinating Wonderful Floral Framelits Dies.
Curious how to see my live videos and sneak peeks? Simply place an order with me, or join my team! You will then gain exclusive access to my closed VIP Stamp Lounge on Facebook! You can also follow my public business page on Facebook to see updates and other news!
I stamped the sentiment in Fresh Fig and cut it out using this beautiful detailed oval from the coordinating die set. And finally, after gluing it all down, I added the beautiful Floral Romance seal. These seals are great because it adds so much flair and they come on the sheet sticky, ready to go!
Floral Romance Measurements:
Petal Pink Card Base: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, Score @ 4-1/4″
Petal Pink Card Mat: 4″ x 5-1/4″

And now for our SECOND card of this post! We are featuring the Amazing Life Bundle with those INCREDIBLE and AMAZING Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies! You HAVE to see what these babies can do! Be sure to head over and check out my corresponding YouTube video!
This card was super simple, takes very few materials, and was so much fun to put together! I started with one color, Bermuda Bay, and added some Whisper White cardstock. I used the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies to cut out a frame and the center portion. Then I used my Stamparatus to place my images in the coordinating Classic Stampin’ Pad color.
I adhered the outer frame down with our Snail Adhesive and I popped up the center piece with some of our Stampin’ Dimensionals. The last few finishing touches included tying a bit of Whisper White Baker’s Twine around the center piece and placing a few Basic Jewel Rhinestones. That’s it! Super simple, really quick, and fun!
Amazing Life Measurements:
Bermuda Bay Card Base: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, Score @ 4-1/4″

Hello Kre8tors! Welcome back to the Paper Pumpkin Pop Up Blog Hop! This month we are popping up because there is something spectacularly spooky here! The September ’18 Kit, Frights & Delights! This special edition kit is perfect for the Halloween season! It came with three adorable little goodie bags and tags that allowed us a vessel to fill yummy treats and pass around.
The little bags were way too adorable, and I wanted to save as much of the materials as I could to make them all! But that didn’t stop me from making two fabulous alternate CARDS to share with you today! Two different styles, one is more “vintage-antique-shabby-chic” and the other is “bright-and-fun”! Which style is your favorite?
Don’t forget to check out my tutorial video below to see how these cards came together. Click on the NEXT button to hop over to Candy’s blog where she is going to show you her delicious project!

One thing I might do is dive into all of my past Paper Pumpkin kits and start assembling LOADS of cards for the upcoming Holidays and other celebrations.

I really enjoyed this Paper Pumpkin kit, with the beautiful floral pre-printed cards and the Flirty Flamingo and Silver Baker’s Twine. Plus, the envelopes are AMAZING! I need the refill kit JUST for those beautiful envelopes! I put together two cards as suggested in the kit directions, and THEN I created two alternate cards using a few additional supplies. See all the details in my video!
