Introducing Paper Pumpkin’s A Kit In Color

The Paper Pumpkin team loves planning fun surprises, so we’ve been VERY excited to let you know what we have in store for the month of May: a fabulous kit featuring 2020–2022 In Colors, plus Purple Posy, an In Color from the 2019–2021 collection. This means that you need to be a subscriber. You will be first to get your hands on new In Color products—a full two weeks before they can be ordered.  As you might expect, the new In Colors are top secret—for now! However, we will be unveiling four of them in days to come as a Paper Pumpkin exclusive.

Shipping

To lower the COVID-19 exposure risk, we split our order fulfillment operation from one shift into two shifts. Each group works 12-hour days with one coming in on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and the other reporting in on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. (With this change in schedule, you may receive an order confirmation on Saturday, however, be aware that orders fulfilled on Saturday will not be picked up and processed until Monday.) We are doing the best we can to get orders out, but there may be times when you see a delay in shipping.

We will continue to update you on the situation. Please be patient with us as we work to balance the health of our employees with the needs of our demonstrators and customers. For information about how UPS continues to respond to this situation, click here.

Paper Pumpkin I'll Be Yours: Mint Macaron Card

How about a Mint Macaron card?  This is a color I confess to not liking too well, for a long time.  It is growing on me.  I find that the tone of it changes a lot, depending on how you pair it with other colors.

Paper Pumpkin I'll Be Yours: Rococo Rose Card

I've been MIA for a few days.  That's because we went on a bus trip to St. Louis to see RiverDance at the Fox Theater (fabulous!!!) and I did way too many steps and hurt my bad knee.  I've had to keep it elevated all week.  Ugh!  I'm still glad we got to go on the trip and see the show.  It was just wonderful.  The lunch had an Irish theme to it.  If that's the beef brisket and potato dish they eat in Ireland,  I may just have to move there:)

So ... back to stamping ... 

A BLOG PROBLEM:
I don't know why, but my side gadgets have disappeared.  Hand with me while I try to figure it out.  I always list my next classes at the end of each post, so you'll know what's going on.

TODAY'S SHARE:  

Here's a pretty card, in the pink range - but not 'in your face' pink.  
I am enjoying this new color.  It's Rococo Rose.  This card does not have to wait until next Valentine's Day.  You can use it any time.  Hearts are timeless.

The hearts, sequins and stamps are from our Paper Pumpkin kit.  The embossing folder is from Sale-A-Bration.  This one looks neat on both sides of the embossing:)

I popped the embossed layer up on dimensionals.  It really bumps up the 'wow' factor on the card, I think.

Love it!

Paper Pumpkin I'll Be Yours: Highland Heather Card

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!  My sweetheart loves purple, so I chose Highland Heather for his Valentine's Day card.  

I'm loving our new Coastal Weave 3-D embossing folder.  You'll find it on page 39 in our Occasions Catalog (2020).  It's in the Tropical Oasis suite. 

Look at the wonderful embossed texture!  This embossing folder lends an entirely different look, depending on how you pair it up with other papers and layers. 

How about these cute little flowers.  Just stamp the little square from the Paper Pumpkin kit and punch out the flower shapes with our Sale-A-Bration Small Bloom punch.  I used more of the little flowers to decorate the inside of my card. 

You can use the little square stamp to stamp a coordinating envelope.  It's photopolymer, so it's pretty easy to line it up and stamp the entire envelope flap.

Paper Pumpkin I'll Be Yours Mini Pizza Boxes

How about some mini pizza boxes to deliver some surprise gifts for some lucky recipients?  These are great for Valentine's Day, but would be fine for other special occasions, as well.

I intentionally left off any greetings, so these will be versatile for any occasions when I need them.

The color stories are:
- Mint Macaron
- Highland Heather
- Rococo Rose
Which color story do you like best?

Surprise gifts, anyone?

Paper Pumpkin I'll Be Yours Bookmark

Do you need a quick bookmark - to use right now?  I have you covered.  This one starts out as a snipped corner from an envelope.  Since I was working with the 'I'll be Yours' kit from Paper Pumpkin, I used one of the tiny envelopes.  I cut the envelope corner to be a 2 1/4" square.  You can go a little larger, or even a tiny bit smaller.  Once you have your corner, you can decorate it any way you'd like.  It's a fun little project.

Looking at the photo above, the 2 top sides are on folds and the 2 bottom sides are open - to slip over the page you want to mark.

No more losing your place in your book.

Make it double-sided, so it looks good from both sides.  The 2 hearts are glued together, encasing the corner of the bookmark.

I'm working on another bookmark now that I'll finish and share soon.  It involves DSP, butterflies and Brusho.  Fun!

Paper Pumpkin I'll Be Yours 3 X 3" Cards

Here are some of the 3 X 3" cards and envelopes I made with the Paper Pumpkin kit.

Carry some with you when you're out and about.  Think how much fun you could have slipping one of these little thank you notes in with your payment for your waitress, hairdresser, mail carrier ...
Spreading the joy!

Above:
I decorated 3 extra envelopes ... for when I need them.
Below:
More cards with envelopes.

Below:
I attached 2 of the little envelopes together to create a little gift folder.  You can insert a little note in the pocket on the right and a little cash in the pocket on the left:)

Here's the front of the little gift folder, when it's closed.

These were really fun!
