I have subscribed to Paper Pumpkin since it first started just over 3 years ago.  It is a monthly subscription and the whole point of it is that each month we get a SURPRISE!  We don’t know ahead of time what will be in the box, we have had cards, calendars, banners, frame art, treat holders – practically anything you can do with paper and ink has been made into a kit.  Yep – a kit, everything you need is contained within that orange box that lands in my mailbox around the 18th or 19th of each month.  

I don’t always have the opportunity to work on the kit straightaway but when  I have time I want to do some crafting but don’t want to get everything out then think about what to make – my little orange box is sitting there ready for me to be creative.

Such a day occurred a couple of weeks ago, so out came the instructions, stamp set, ink, and all the supplies to make the project for that month – even the adhesive is included. I picked up April’s kit, now you can follow the instructions – and I did for a couple of the cards, but then I started to wander from them and do my ‘own thing’ ~ not too far from the instructions but a little ‘wandering’ is OK

The Instructions

This would work for a guy

definitely for a Girl

Same card as the first one but with a splash of feminine pink

Why don’t you consider subscribing – either for yourself or a family member – it would make a great gift, if you follow this link,  it will take you right there were you can sign up for $19.95 per month (total – this includes shipping!)  You will get a clear stamp block with your first kit so you will be ready to start straightaway – or when you have the chance for some ME time. 🙂

I hope you like today’s project – please let me know in a comment ~ by using that little link just under the title.

Give me a shout if you need any more information or want to book a class or a party!

If you’d like any of the supplies, to shop, or to get a catalog, please feel free to contact me, and if you’re thinking of joining Stampin’ Up! and my team I’d most definitely like to hear from you
