Today, I want to share the April Paper Pumpkin kit with products to create beautiful Distinktive cards. The video below shows you the kit’s contents that subscribers received last week. When my Paper Pumpkin box arrived, I was eager to see the project. I definitely was not disappointed and opted to not make alternative designs with the kit. It was so much fun. And the cards are gorgeous! Plus the enclosed box is perfect for gifting the cards. If you are not a subscriber, you can subscribe to Paper Pumpkin any time and get in on the excitement each month when that little box comes to your door.
The Distinktive stamps are awesome stamps that bring images to life right before your eyes. They allow you to have amazing images to share with your family and friends as you created these special cards for them. What’s wonderful is now I have a beautiful stamp set to use on future projects!
So if you are not a subscriber, subscribe here by May 10th and be a part of the special kit inspired from Shelli Gardner. Here’s a peek at the special Paper Pumpkin box designed for the Hugs by Shelli.
Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting. Be sure to check back on Monday to see a new project!
Hope you had a wonderful Easter. This year, it was a quiet Easter for my husband and me so I was able to spend part of the afternoon in my craft cave. Since I could not spend endless hours crafting, I decided to make the Incredible Like You Project Kit. That’s the beauty of using a kit, they are great when you want to make projects fast. This kit is on the Last Chance product list and is available until June 3 or while supplies last. In my opinion, the photos in the Occasions Catalog do not do the cards justice. The cards are beautiful! The laser-cut overlays add a touch of elegance. The kit contains the materials to make 16 cards (four of each design). The project kit coordinates with the Incredible Like You Stamp Set. The sentiments in the stamp set are a couple of my favorites. However, it’s easy to substitute the sentiments and use your favorite stamp sets sentiments. Additional products you may need to complete the kit per the kit instructions are Coastal Cabana and Lovely Lipstick Classic Stampin’ Pads and Multipurpose Glue. Below the photos are a few added tips for assembly.
Here are a few alternative sentiments used. Plus, check out the lined envelope that is in the kit.
What’s even better, is the kit contains a reusable storage envelope.
Assembly Tips:
Separate each of the card designs and the card elements into individual stacks
Select sentiments and stamp onto the appropriate size labels
Use the Take Your Pick for removing the glue dots included with the kit (or use your own mini glue dots).
To attach the laser-cut overlays, use small dots of multipurpose adhesive glue along the overlay edges. Remember, a little of the glue goes a long way!
The project kit contains assembly instructions. Also refer to the Stampin’ Up! You Tube video to watch Tanner assemble the kit.
It was great to be able to make 16 cards quickly. They are now in the reusable storage envelope ready for use.
Remember to order your kit before it’s no longer available!

It doesn’t look like we will be disappointed with the May kit.
So if you are not a subscriber, subscribe here by May 10th and let your beautiful May flowers be delivered right to your door.
As with many of our catalogs, the Occasions catalog has it’s share of project kits from Stampin’ Up!. The Made to Bloom Kit makes it possible for you to bloom all year long. In the kit, you will also receive pre-printed elements which allows you to add beautiful color to your cards. The kit also contains a stamp set, accents, stamp pad, stamp block, adhesive backed pearls, card bases and envelopes. Once you complete all the cards, you can store them in the acetate box included or, give them away as a gift.
I love being able to have a box of cards for any occasion. Stampin’ Up! adds new project kits to every catalog each year. When you are new to stamping or have limited time to craft, these kits are a life saver. Being able to have all the products in one box saves time and helps you improve your crafting skills.
We have some more products that are selling out fast at Stampin’ Up!. They are so popular and Stampin’ Up! just did not expect the volume of orders they have received. The Lovely Lipstick and Grapefruit Grove foil sheets and Precious Parcel card kit are going fast. They are still available but I fear not for long. These products are going so fast that they may not be available through the entire Sale-A-Bration period.
With all the products included in the Paper Pumpkin box each month, you can create alternate pumpkin cards. I like to experiment with the products and see what else I can come up with. There is nothing wrong with thinking outside the box, so see what you can come up with too. You will have so much fun doing it.
Here are a few I put together. It’s an adorable stamp set and creates the perfect cards for children to take to school.
If you are not a subscriber of Paper Pumpkin, you can sign up here. It’s always a nice surprise when that box arrives. I take it into my craft room and put my creativity to work. I wish Paper Pumpkin was around when I first started crafting. It’s a great way to help bring your creativity to life.
