A few years back, Paper Pumpkin came out with a calendar and so if you have it and still use it, a fellow demonstrator (thank you Elena Reylek!) updated the calendar for 2020. Feel free to download it to use for your past calendar. Thank you so much!
Thanks again!

ALTERNATIVES were great with this month’s kit – super cute kit, and we had a great time putting it together! Here are our finished projects – treat bags and a card – the front was inspired from Pinterest but I added a few of my own touches and then came up with the CUTEST inside surprise – check it out below!
Here is a closeup of the front of the card with the creepy spiders hanging down but a good way to use all those itty bitty stamp pieces:
And here is the inside of the card – a pop out – and I added bats from our new Spooky Bat Punch (Item #148014 for $18.00) – love that it punches out different sizes! (The stamped sentiment is from a retired set):
Here is a side view of the popped up piece:
To do that, just cut a strip of white card stock 3/4 inch wide, then score it five times at a half an inch. At the fifth score line, just cut it with your scissors, fold at each score line until you can form a block and put adhesive on one end to secure it. Then add a little bit of adhesive on the two sides that are up against the card top and bottom and adhere. Then just add your pop up piece to the front and you are done! Adds a surprise touch to the inside – love it!
The last alternate project was a banner cased also from Dawn O, but I sponged the ghost to have it stand out, had to put a bow on the pumpkin because what is a scary pumpkin without a cute bow!, and added googly eyes to the bat. I then added orange ribbon to the ends of the strings. Punched out a creepy spider to hang above and I have a cute door decoration, but this would also look great on a cupboard door, across a doorway, off a mirror – just to give you some ideas.
Hope this gives you some ideas on other uses for this cute Halloween Paper Pumpkin set!

April Paper Pumpkin: A Sara Thing – from STAMPIN’ UP!:
Don’t miss this video with Sara! Stamp and watercolor along with her as she gives helpful tips and tricks.
Every Paper Pumpkin kit always has tons of potential for an added creative experience. (Check out our Pinterest page where we scratch the surface of all our subscribers’ amazing projects.) This kit is no exception! There are so many ways you can use it.
First, we always like to show you a project you can make with the supplies included in your kit. Check out this adorable card featuring a watercolor and washi tape background, a simple sentiment, and an adorable glitter acrylic flower embellishment.
Next up, here’s another fun way to use the stamp set. Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are right around the corner and this stamp set will help you create the best cards to make both days super special. Use the Best Badge Punch to create a medallion for the best dad. The Lucky Stars Textured Impressions Embossing Folder provides added meaning in the background.
Here’s a beautiful card that Mom will love! The background paper comes from our Hello Lovely Project Life Card Collection. Add one of the Delicate White Doilies to soften it up even more.
There are so many wonderful things to love about this kit! It is definitely one of our favorites and we hope you love it too. Order some refills, while supplies last, for $9.00 US/$11.00 CA each. (The price is $1.00 more than our usual price for refills because each kit includes another set of mini Watercolor Pencils and all 12 cards—an amazing value!)

Here is what I woke up to this morning that has made my day – and it’s only 6:26 a.m.! From Claudia – she is like a fourth daughter to me – and my daughter’s best friend who moved down south and was visiting and I told her about Paper Pumpkin and so she took the plunge and became a subscriber – here is her private message that she sent me this morning:
Claudie – you put YOURS together before I even have – LOL! LOVE IT! You did a fantastic job honey!
If you haven’t tried Paper Pumpkin before – WHY NOT? For the kit above – it was 12 (TWELVE) cards! THEY ARE FUN!
Hugs!

I thought I would share with you the March Paper Pumpkin kit projects and alternative projects we made in our monthly class – held the first Saturday of every month! With your paid subscription designating me as your demonstrator – my Paper Pumpkin subscribers are able to COME TO CLASS FREE EACH MONTH! WE HAVE A LOT OF FUN! COME JOIN US!
Here are our projects we did:
Paper square is 4 x 3 – notch all four corners. Place your center label in the middle and then stamp your egg stamp so you leave enough room for your label. Too cute!
Use the 3 x 3 note cards and staple on each side of a little treat cellophane bag filled with chocolate treats!
I sponged the whiskers with some Blushing Bride to give it some color!
I punched out a 1-1/4 inch circle and then stamped my eyes, whiskers and mouth and then stamped and fussy cut out the ears and popped them up on dimensionals for a super cute card or table setting card.
If you want to change the ears to a different color, just trace with a pencil on whatever color card stock you like the ear and then just fussy cut it out and use Fast Fuse to adhere to to the bag.
Notice the different colors? The bag to the left I put in a zip lock baggie with a little bit of bleach and let it sit to bleach it white. The one in the middle is the one in the kit. The one to the right was dyed with a zip lock baggie with some soft suede reinker to give it a darker look. You can dye these any color you want using reinkers!
I hope you enjoyed our March Paper Pumpkin Kit
projects – and if you are one of my subscribers,
you also get a Word document filled with other ideas!
Pumpkin Hugs!
