Paper Pumpkin is a great
gift item for anyone! A monthly kit
precut and ready to go!
(written
by Stampin’ Up!)
What's inside:
Every kit includes an
exclusive stamp set, ink spot, and embellishments to create a predesigned
project. At least six times a year, we send an all card kit with eight or more
cards. Sometimes the kit includes cards plus gift bags, banners, treat bags, or
boxes. Other times, it’s home décor, giftables, or just treat packaging. No
matter what it is—we promise you’ll love it, or we’ll make it right!
When does it ship:
Treat yourself to a
crafting surprise every month. Because sometimes the best way to get creative
is inside the box—the little red box that arrives at your door around the 20th
of the month. We make it fast, easy, and fun for you to enjoy your favorite hobby—creating!
Subscribe by the 10th of any month to get your first kit delivered that month.
We can’t wait to craft with you!
Fast. Easy. Fun.
As a crafter, creative,
and maker, you want to be “that person” who always has cards and gifts on hand
for every occasion. You’ll always be ready—armed with lots of pretty, perfectly
put together projects. In other words, we do the hard part, leave the fun to
you, and make you look good. (Don’t worry; your secret is safe with us.)

My alternative is a card.
Stamps:
Adoring Arrows.
Cardstock:
white, Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral, gold foil.
Ink: Calypso
Coral, Blushing Bride.
Tools: bone
folder, Sponge, Love Notes Framelits dies, Dimensionals, glue dots, 16” gold
thread, Fine Tip glue, snail adhesive, envelope.
Punches: 1”
circle.
Prepare card by cutting white cardstock at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2”. Fold in half for a side fold card – a bone folder gives you a crisp
fold. Stamp and sign the back. Set aside.
Cut Blushing Bride cardstock 5-1/4” x 4” for the outside of the
card. Sponge edges with Calypso
Coral ink. Run through the Falling Petals embossing folder
(Occasions 2017). Adhere to card
front. Set aside.
Here is what the box that
comes with the kit looks like.
Cut apart the long way as
shown.
Cut apart crosswise way as
shown. You can get two cards from one box.
Over stamp the gold edged pre-cut
flag die with the little hearts in Blushing Bride ink. Sponge edges of gold heart panel, gold heart
flag and the gold edged pre-cut flag die with Calypso Coral ink. We also need the pre-cut vellum flag die.
Use the bone folder to
curl the ends of the flags.
Cut gold foil 2-1/4” x 3-3/4”.
Using the Love Notes Framelits
dies, cut two arrows from the center.
Set arrows aside. Adhere the gold
foil to the heart panel. Trim close and
adhere to card front.
I find it easier to stamp
the hearts on a scrap of white cardstock
then cut them out rather than trying to line the images up with the die
cuts. Stamp the Love and the outlined
heart in Calypso Coral ink. Stamp the Happy Valentines Day in Blushing Bride
ink. These stamps are from Adoring Arrows stamp set that come with
this month’s kit.
Cut out by hand. Sponge edges in Calypso Coral ink. Add Dimensionals
to the top and bottom of each heart. Set
aside.
Adhere the white flags to
the card front.
Place glue dots (included in the kit) on to the pink stripes of the
vellum flag.
Adhere vellum flag to
center of the white flags. Add a couple
more glue dots towards the bottom of the vellum flag to hold in place. Add a gold foil double heart sticker (included in the kit) at the top of the
narrow flag.
Wrap 16” gold thread (included in the kit) around a couple of fingers
and finish with three fingers. Glue dot
to the bottom of the foil heart sticker.
Trim ends if necessary.
Add stamped hearts. Apply Fine
Tip glue to one arrow and adhere to card.
Craftastic Days with Stacy has a video that shows us how to make a gift card
holder from one of the boxes. I followed
her idea.
Fold box on the third fold
line from the long edge with the two-way tape.
Press with a bone folder.
Open box and turn
over. Fold bottom flaps on fold lines
and score. Glue down the three flaps
leaving the one with the two-way tape unglued.
Use the 1” punch to take a half bite at the top
of the panel with the two-way tape.
Fold on pre-scored line again. Remove the paper backing from the left side.
Press flap to close with the bone folder.
Repeat for the bottom
flap. Set aside.
Cut Calypso Coral cardstock 2-3/4” x 4”. Stamp edges with the tiny hearts with Calypso
Coral ink.
Write your message on your
card. Adhere a gift card with a glue dot
and insert into pocket (I don’t have a gift card so we’ll just pretend that I
do).
Add one each of the
pre-cut flag dies. Sponge and stamp a
pre-cut heart die with Calypso Coral ink.
Add remaining arrow. Adhere to
gift card holder.
Adhere to the inside of
the card.
Decorate an envelope with the heart images.
