Good morning! My new Paper Pumpkin arrived Saturday and I was excited to put this kit together. The colors are gorgeous and the extra die cuts are just beautiful. The cards are 3″ size with a stunning inside decorated envelope. I could easily have taken one of the envelopes apart & used it to make a full size card, but I needed this size – and so, no alternatives! The gift boxes are pretty too.Eight gift card with envelopes & eight gift boxes. How perfect is that!

Just look at this gorgeousness: the gold die cut leaves, then the more leaves and two pumpkins – all for each card. I followed the instructions, stamped with Lost Lagoon ink sent with the kit, then added the die cuts. There were choices for a sentiment as well and since Thank you is what I needed, that is what I stamped :O)

These gift boxes stand 5″ tall with a 2″ depth, son plenty of room for a variety of goodies. I embellished these with bows: Linen Thread bow on the left and a Threaded Twine bow on the right. For the Threaded Twine bow, a cut a length of the twine and removed threads from it as it was too bulky in one piece.

So let’s talk Paper Pumpkin and the benefits of a subscription. It arrives monthly in your mailbox without a lot of hassle. There are advanced descriptions of what’s in the kit each month so there’s the option to void the order for a particular month if it’s something you don’t want. That means you aren’t billed for it that month and the subscription is advanced a month. With the initial order, an acrylic block is included, after that it’s the ink spot, glue dots or tape (or both, as in this months kit) and all the parts to put together cards or boxes or gift bags, often with embellishments or linen thread or pearls, gems or sequins of some sort. It’s like a gift surprise each month! Subscribe by the 10th of any month to receive that month’s kit. Supplies may be limited toward the end of the subscription period.
