August 2022 Paper Pumpkin Alternative: Sweet Sunflowers

Welcome to our monthly “A Paper Pumpkin Thing” blog hop! Check out this month's Paper Pumpkin alternatives that we created and scroll down to join us on a blog hop to see what our creative friends have made with the contents of the August 2022 Sweet Sunflowers Paper Pumpkin kit.

Registration for the next Paper Pumpkin is closing on the tenth of September so make sure you sign up so you don't miss out on the creativity that is literally delivered to your front door.

For this kit, we created some fun alternatives using the provided card bases. Some accents were made with the provided dies and layers. To really tie everything together, we added some Brushed Brass Butterflies (our fav). For the box, we perfectly fit three Ferrero Rocher chocolates on the inside. Aren't these adorable?

If you missed out on last month's kit, don't worry! You can still hop in on the fun. Get your Halloween crafting on with the Spooky Treats Paper Pumpkin Kit. This month’s kit includes everything you need to make 18 absolutely adorable (and just the right amount of spooky) treat boxes—that’s 6 each of 3 unique designs! No need to let the season creep up on you; subscribe and order your kit today.

What's Paper Pumpkin?

Paper Pumpkin is the perfect way to jump into the world of paper crafting and get your creative “me-time” every month. Each month, we deliver all the stamps, ink, and paper you need to create a fun project, without any stress. Everything is precut and ready to go so you can skip to the fun part of crafting! Our subscribers always have cards and cute gifts on hand for every occasion. Your first kit includes a free gift from us—a clear stamping block. You’ll also build a collection of stamps and ink to use on other projects. There’s no pressure—you can cancel or suspend at any time.

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!
