Hello Pumpkin - September Paper Pumpkin Monthly Stamp Kit

 

Hey!  We're still in swimming pool/beach/flip-flops mode!  There is no need to rush fall at all in our daily living (and I highly recommend against wishing time away!), but that doesn't mean we can't stamp for it.  Seeing the photo above does have me craving apple cider from my local farmer's market and my favorite college hoodie, though.

So what's in the September kit?

It's called Hello Pumpkin - I love it!

• Kit contains enough supplies to create 20 cracker box treat packages.
• Each cracker box treat package can be customized to celebrate Halloween, Thanksgiving, the autumn season, or all three!
• Coordinating Colors: Bumblebee, Basic Black, Cajun Craze, Cinnamon Cider, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, white
• 
  

Did you see the cute box in the first photo?  Can someone tell me WHY that works?  WHY does cute packaging make me want to get one of these in my mailbox?  

The box aside, my subscribers have told me why they love getting Paper Pumpkin:  ♥ it's convenient - everything they need to create is included in the box                 ♥ it's portable - they love tucking a kit in their bag so they can create anywhere   ♥it's shareable - they can easily share the kit with a friend, grandchild, child, etc.  ♥it's a surprise....but it doesn't have to be - for those who love to be surprised and delighted, you can!  For those who want a sneak peek of what's coming, you can!  And if any kit is not for you, you can skip that month from within your Paper Pumpkin account.

Clean and Simple Card with Magnolia Blooms

Who likes an "easy" button every now and then?  I do!  Most of the time, my motto is "more is more" when it comes to papercrafting.  You will never see me hoarding pretty Designer Series Paper or embellishments - I love to pile and layer them on!  

But sometimes there isn't time or energy to create a more detailed project.  Or maybe you're new to stamping and need a beautifully simple card to get yourself started.  I made one just for those times!

The Magnolia Blooms set is found in the Beginner Brochure on pages 8 & 9.  This brochure was designed for someone new to stamping, as it features all-inclusive kits, but there are also experienced stampers who enjoy kits for other reasons (easy to travel with, projects already designed for you).

This card is so easy, it requires just a few steps!

• Fold a 5-1/2"x8-1/2" piece of Crumb Cake cardstock in half.
• Stamp images and sentiment from Magnolia Blooms set in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.
• Color in images with Watercolor Pencils in Whisper White, Old Olive, and Daffodil Delight.

That's it!  I made a tutorial for you to download (you can save it or print it to add to an idea binder).

See 2 more Magnolia Blooms cards plus a tutorial here.

Magnolia Blooms set

If you want even more mileage from this set, get the all-inclusive kit and you can make 10 additional cards with envelopes.

To make the kit cards shown directly above:

• Magnolia Lane Cards Bundle

To also make my featured card add:

• Crumb Cake cardstock
• Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad
• Watercolor Pencils

All of this earns you a FREE Level 1 Sale-A-Bration item!  My suggestion:

• Sending You Thoughts set

If you'd like the Magnolia Blooms card from today, contact me at nicole@thejoyfulstamper.com and I'll include it in a free catalog package!  I hope you enjoy these tutorials and tips.  My goal is to help you have a fantastic stamping experience.  

Trying Something New Is Easier With a Friend

Years ago, I saw a beautiful quilt hanging in our church and I remarked that I'd always wanted to learn how to make one but that I didn't know where to begin, so I had just never started.  The woman who'd made the quilt offered to teach me and that was enough to encourage me to pick up fabric and turn on a sewing machine.  I loved sewing my quilt and the most important reason why I loved it was because of the kind woman who offered to show me how.

If you have ever thought you'd love to try stamping but didn't know where to start, I'd love to do for you what my church friend did for me long ago - come alongside you and help you have the most enjoyable experience!  

The best place to start is with an all-inclusive kit that is packed with high-quality supplies.  The supplies you need are in the kit, the cardstock is cut to the correct sizes for you, instructions are included to guide you to success, and the finished products are ones you'll be excited to give for all occasions.  Now you can top your gift to a loved one with a tag you made yourself!  Or slip cash into a birthday card that you created and then slip that in an envelope you stamped to match!  How fun would that be!

Here are some kits ranging from cute to elegant that are perfect with which to start (kit photos on left; finished products on right):

     

Once you decide which kit appeals to you, it's time to start your creative journey!  I'll send you a welcome package that includes a handstamped thank you card and Beginners' Stamping Brochure to further help you.  And you can always contact me.  I started at the beginning one time, too, and I am so grateful to my sister-in-law for introducing me to stamping.  It would be an honor to share that joy with you, too!

July Paper Pumpkin Deadline Is Today!

 Summertime bliss should include crafting time!  Paper Pumpkin lets you have that time while still enjoying all that is beautiful about summer.  Each kit is designed to be completed in 30-45 minutes and is fully transportable (perfect for taking along on that weekend trip or extended vacation).

But what is so great about July's kit in particular is that it coordinates with three Stampin' Up! suites: Woven Threads (pg 12-13), Garden Lane (pg 40-41), and Come Sail Away (pg 144-145).  Imagine what you can do with all that coordination!  

Besides product suite coordination, here are a few more details to help you get excited about the On My Mind July Paper Pumpkin kit:

• Makes 9 mailable cards with envelopes (3 each of 3 designs)
• Coordinating colors: Gold, Kraft, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Pear Pizzazz, Pretty Peacock, Sahara Sand, Seaside Spray, and Terracotta Tile
• With the Bonus Days promotion (every $50 ordered before shipping and tax earns you a $5 coupon to use in August), you can earn oodles of $5 coupons with a prepaid Paper Pumpkin subscription and add-ons from the coordinating suites!

Sign up here by July 10 to receive this month's Paper Pumpkin kit!

I would so appreciate the opportunity to earn your business and thank you for choosing me as your demonstrator!
