How to Create Beautiful Handmade Card & Project with the October 2023 Paper Pumpkin Kit
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 October 2023 Home for the Holidays Paper Pumpkin kit. Registration for this next Paper Pumpkin is closing on the tenth of November 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 a fun fold card and a box. For the fun fold card, we used the provided Paper Pumpkin card base and followed the score lines provided below. We then added the sentiment on a piece of Basic White cardstock. For the box, we used Night of Navy Cardstock again for the base and followed the score lines below. For the sentiment, we stamped it in VersaMark, added white embossing powder, heated it up with our heat tool, then fussy cut it out.
Light up the Christmas season with this month’s Paper Pumpkin kit! With traditional Christmas home designs and warm Christmas wishes, spread the light of Christmas with a gift box.

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!
