July 2024 Paper Pumpkin Alternative: Painted Petals


December 2022 Paper Pumpkin Alternative: Good Things Come in Small Packages

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

July 2024 Paper Pumpkin Alternative: Painted Petals

For this kit, we created a fun fold card that we recently learned how to make at our local Creative Connections when the wonderful, Terri Gaines included in our take-and-makes. The card base is scored to create a little box on the left side of the card. This helps the card stand up, perfect for a desk, counter, or mantel! We used the flowers, sentiment, and tags from the kit. To help these stand out on the card, we added some die cut Basic White pieces from the Country Side Corners dies. Then we layered some Soft Sea Foam ink behind the flowers with blending brushes to really make them pop against the Basic White background.


For the tag, we die cut a tag from Basic White Cardstock using the Greetings of the Season dies. To get the splatter effects, we used Pretty in Pink and Berry Burst Stampin' Write Markers to flick the ink on the Basic White Cardstock. Then we fussy cut the flowers from the kit out and adhered them on the tag. Finally, we stamped the sentiment on a Stylish Shapes die cut circle and added it to the front. For the ribbons, we used the Sheer Ribbon (silver and white) and the Pretty in Pink Bordered Ribbon.

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!
