June 2024 Life Is Sweet Paper Pumpkin Kit Alternatives

6/26/2024

I love getting my Paper Pumpkin kit delivered every month. It's a perfect box of creative goodness that shows up on my doorstep every month!

Things I love most:
1. Everything is included--and I mean everything! Adhesive, ink, stamps, paper, instructions...
The only things you might need are scissors. Plus the block you get with your first month's kit.
2. Easy to follow instructions so if I want to simply sit down and craft I can! No need to be feeling creative or have to come up with designs.
3. However, if I'm feeling creative I can use the contents to create so many extras!

I love this die cut. It's so pretty. Want more? Did you know that it's a part of the Citrus Blooms dies?

I love the colors in this kit. Such bright and cheerful colors!

Lemons or peaches? Which do you pick?

Don't miss out on the next kit. Sign up here. You can pause or cancel anytime.

Paper Pumpkin prepaid subscriptions also make great gifts.

It's time for another Monday Montage Blog Hop. Summer is flying by and we are keeping busy.

This weekend Stampin' Up! hosted a virtual day of crafting for demonstrators called Creativity Now. Attendees had a chance to order this adorable suite that will be available in the upcoming September to December mini catalog.

I had some fun playing around with the new suite and created this card. It's one of the cards I'm using in my team packets this month.

These cards were both ones that we created during the event. This suite is really versatile. I can't wait to keep playing with it.

Monday Montage 262

Welcome to another Monday Montage Blog Hop! June is in full force and we are spending all our weekends at graduation parties!

In the midst of celebrating I've been having fun playing with the new Sweet Peas stamp set. It is absolutely adorable. The cutest artwork combined with lots of puns. I can't get enough.

For this first card I wanted to use the little peas in a pod and make a sweet baby card. It's such an easy card to put together with three 1 x 4 1/4 inch pieces of DSP layered on a 3 3/8 x 4 1/2 inch piece of coordinating card stock. It's a quick layout to put together.

This little guy is the cutest! I have no idea who I'll need to send this card to but I couldn't resist making it.

Don't miss out on this great embossing folder too. Do you know how big it is?? It's 6 x 8! You can emboss an entire 1/2 sheet of card stock at once.
