I used the stamps from the September Paper Pumpkin kit ("BOO!", the bats and the tree tops in the lower left corner) in this cute Halloween card. The background was made with the splatter stamp from "Gorgeous Grunge," stamping it over and over and rotating it as you stamp until you get the look you're going for.  The bottom of the background is sponged (inspired by SU Demo, Jan Tink).  The Bat body is the owl builder punch and his wings are the large oval punch with 1/3 punched off by the 1 1/4" circle punch (from Pinterest entry by the fabulous Diana Gibbs).

Happy Stamping!

Paper Pumpkin...a magical paper escape every month....it's creativity in a box!

I'm Paper Pumpkin . . .
I come to your door each month (a fully decked-out creativity carriage). I'll help you to escape your life with some paper fun.
I come in a sweet box, but you'll really love what you find on the inside:
All the stamps, ink, paper, and accessories to create fun projects. Create stuff like cards, journals, décor, and more!
Paper Pumpkin by Stampin' Up! is a new monthly kit program that anyone (even you) can enjoy!

I recently took the plunge and subscribed to My Paper Pumpkin.  Everything you need comes in this cute orange box all wrapped in blue tissue paper like it's from Tiffany!  And each month is a fun surprise!  September's kit contained all the supplies to make these cute burlap treat bags and the tags on the other bags as well (I added the cello bags and ribbon...and the treats).  



The kits even contain exclusive photopolymer stamps created for Paper Pumpkin and any ink spots you may need.  (Your very first kit always comes with an acrylic block to mount your stamps.)  This kit also included orange sequin garland, black floss, mini clothespins, and stickers that match the skull, bat, tree and crow stamps.  All the tags were die cut, so you only had to punch them out.  Easy to follow instructions with color photographs of the completed project are also included.  The whole thing is designed to be completed in about a half hour.


Of course, you don't have to create the projects as designed...run with your own creativity.  Or search Paper Pumpkin in Pinterest to see what others have created with their kits.

If you'd like to give it a try, click on the link provided to order your prepaid subscription in my online store.  You'll then receive an email telling you how to redeem your subscription.  It's so flexible.  Even with a prepaid subscription, you can pause your subscription, then start it up again.  It can all be easily managed through the My Paper Pumpkin website.  Sign up by the 10th of the month to get that month's kit, or pause or cancel by the 10th of the month.  If changes are made after the 10th, they will be affective for the next month.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I have!

Happy Stamping!
