Paper Pumpkin Samples
As you know last week I went to Leadership. Leadership is a gathering of demonstrators from all over the world and we talk about all the upcoming Stampin' Up! products and projects.
Paper Pumpkin was one of the new announcements! I am so excited about this monthly subscription to projects created by Stampin' Up! that I had to show you one of the projects. At Leadership Stampin' Up! gave all the demonstrators a free sample of the welcome kit and the Try It! Kit and last night I got a chance to complete one of the kits.

I was able to make four cards with envelopes and included in the kit are two stamps an acrylic block (acrylic block will only come in the Welcome Kit and Try It Kit) and a Stampin' spot in Basic Gray. What a great value! below is more information.
Each month we send you a unique, surprise kit with a project-cards, journals, décor, and more! (We've even color-coordinated, measured, and cut everything for you!)
Each kit includes stamps, ink, paper, and accessories-everything but adhesive.
Each kit gives you a 30-minute creativity escape.
We will ship your Paper Pumpkin on or around the 15th of the month.
You need to sign up for a kit by the 10th of the month to get that month's kit. If you sign up on the 11th of the month, your first kit will come the next month. (Let's say you sign up on May 10th, we'll send your kit around May 15th. If you sign up on May 11th, we'll send your first kit around June 15th.)
A Paper Pumpkin membership is $19.95 per month (and shipping is included!)
There's no commitment, you can cancel your monthly Paper Pumpkin at anytime. You can also skip a month if you want.
Starting in early March, we'll offer a Try-It kit if you'd like to try Paper Pumpkin for one month.
Sign up today and be on board when the first kit ships in March. Go to https://mypaperpumpkin.com
sign up and be ready!

Make a Wish Card Tutorial
Christina N. Concept Artist from Stampin Up! shared this wonderful tutorial-
I made this card for the 2013 spring catalog. And, since we’ve had questions on how to make it, I’ve made a tutorial.
To get you started, here are some of the things you will need.
1. Take the largest Labels Collection Framelits Die and place it at the bottom of your card front. Using a sticky note to keep it in place, run it only partially through your Big Shot, then roll it back out.
2. Using the Simply Scored Borders Scoring Plate, score along the bottom edge of your card front.
3. With a pencil, trace “Wish” (using letters you have cut with the Big Shot and the Typeset Alphabet Bigz Die) on your card front. Cut out the word using your craft knife. Carefully erase the leftover pencil lines.
4. Using an Aqua Painter, splatter the Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint and rubbing alcohol mixture on the card front.
5. Add ticket, “Make a” banner, and the Hung Up Cute Clips arrow to the card.
6. Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, add a piece of First Edition Specialty Designer Series Paper to the back of the card front. Tie the dyed Baker’s Twine around the front of the card and finish with a bow.
And you’re done!
