Paper Pumpkin Price Increase

Beginning April 11, Paper Pumpkin is increasing its subscription prices to accommodate rising manufacturing costs. All new subscriptions purchased on or after April 11 will be at the new price. 
The price increase will go toward product value—which means that demonstrators will earn more on order commissions. In addition, starting Tuesday, April 15, Paper Pumpkin subscriptions will qualify for rewards through the new Stampin’ Rewards program.

The first kit at the new price, the May Mountain Majesties Kit, will bill on May 11 at 12:01 a.m. (MT). 

STAMPIN’ REWARDS CHANGED AS OF  APRIL 15, 2025

Stampin’ Up! updated their Rewards Program beginning mid-April!

The current Stampin’ Rewards program that Stampin’ Up!  had for many years went away on April 15, 2025.
Bottom line? You will now be able to earn Stampin’ Rewards on smaller orders!  
Here’s the details:

  • You will not have to place a large order of $150+ to earn free product, as it was with the previous Stampin’ Rewards system. 
  • On April 15,  2025, and moving forward, you will earn 10% rewards with orders of $20+!! So…for example, when you place an order of $50 you’ll earn a $5 reward to use the next time you shop!
  • You can save your rewards for up to a year! So, you can spend them on a future order all at once or a little at a time.  Boom!
  • Additionally, the “host code” is going away….so, as of April 15, 2025, you will not need to apply my current host code to your order. 

What should you know now to prepare for these changes?
Here are a few things that you can do to make the transition to the new program as smooth as possible:

  • You DO need to have a Stampin’ Up! online store account at stampinup.com so you can earn and redeem rewards.
    • I will NOT be able to create and manage customer accounts. I can still help you with ordering if you need me to, but, because of stricter banking policies and data/privacy laws, you’ll need to officially be in charge of your own customer account for earning & redeeming rewards.  So make sure you’re able to log in at stampinup.com.
  • NOTE! You must “opt in” to the program to earn and redeem Stampin’ Rewards.  When you place your first order after  April 15 – you’ll have the chance to “Opt In”.  That’s a good time to do it so you’ll earn Rewards on THAT order!  But – if you decide NOT to at that point – you can always do it on a future order! 
  • Don’t want a Stampin’ Up! online store account?? You can still have me place your order for you!  You won’t get the Stampin’ Rewards directly – they’ll come to me and I’ll apply them to a future order for you.
  • If you DO NOT want to “Opt in” to the rewards program, you don’t have to – you can still place orders, but be aware that you won’t receive the Stampin’ Rewards for your purchases. 

Again these changes will began  April 15, 2025.  Let me know if you have any questions.

  1.

  2. Cut a piece of Crumb Cake, then will become the art piece when the stamping and coloring are complete.

  6. Use Gorgeous Grape and Granny Apple Green inks and a Water Painter to color the flowers.
  7. Stamp the HELLO greeting from Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Stamp Set in Memento Black in on a scrap of Basic White cardstock and bannerize one end.
  8. Make a Mary Deatherage bow using Linen Thread.
  9. Adhere the Soft Seafoam cardstock piece to the card base.
  10. Adhere the art piece to the Basic White mat using adhesive of choice.  I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue .
  11. Pop the art piece over the Soft Seafoam background piece using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  12. Pop the greeting over the bottom of the flowers.
  13. Adhere the bow using Glue Dots.
  14. Pop Iridescent Basic Pearls around the art piece.  That finishes the card front.
  15. Stamp a butterfly from Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies in Versa Mark ink.
  16. Sprinkle White Embossing Powder over the Versa Mark and heat emboss.
  17. Color the butterfly using Crushed Curry, Granny Apple Green, And Mossy Meadow inks and a Water Painter.
  18. Fussy Cut the butterfly.
  19. Stamp a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies Stamp Set in Memento Black ink on a Basic White panel.
  20. Adhere the other Soft Seafoam piece to the left inside card base using adhesive of choice.
  21. Adhere the sentiment panel over it using adhesive of choice.
  22. Pop the butterfly over the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  23. Stamp a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Stamp Set on a Basic White panel using Memento Black ink.
  24. Adhere the panel to the card base using adhesive of choice.
  25. Add the Soft Seafoam strip down the right side of the panel.
  26. A Basic White envelope gets a piece of Regals 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (I used a Gorgeous Grape piece) adhered to the envelope flap using adhesive of choice.

Stampin’ Up! July Paper Pumpkin Painted Petals

Stampin’ Up! July Paper Pumpkin Painted Petals

Comments 4 comments

This is my verison of the July Paper Pumpkin.  I started to make them the way it shows in the instructions, but just had to tweek them a bit with mats and bows.

 

 

 

These are the three cards using the Melon Mambo flowers.  There are two different sentiments and design for the inside of these cards.  I have only included one design of each.  There are three different greetings on the card fronts and I gave each card a mat using the back side of the original card that come in the Paper Pumpkin.  I cut the inside out of the mat using a Deckled Rectangle Die and you can see I used one as the inside for the sentiment.    The flower image that is in the stamp set that come with the Paper Pumpkin is stamped on one of the inside panels and colored using Melon Mambo and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends.  The other is stamped on a piece of Basic White cardstock, colored using Bubble Bath, Pretty In Pink, and Old Olive ink.   It is fussy cut, then adhered to the corner of the Melon Mambo panel on the inside panel. Sequins were scattered around the card fronts.  

 

 

I am showing only two of the Daisy cards as two are the same.  I added the green mat again using the back side of the original card.   Two different greetings are used on the card fronts.  The greetings are stamped on the labels that come with the Paper Pumpkin. A loopy bow is added to one and a small Old Olive bow is added to the other.  The inside sentiment has a daisy from Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies stamped in Memento Black ink and colored using Old Olive, Lemon Lolly, and Pumpkin Pie inks.  The greeting is the same for all three cards.  Sequins are popped around the card front.

 

 

Again, I am only showing two of the Calypso Coral cards as the other one would be a duplicate.  The inside sentiment panels for all the cards have been die cut using a die from Deckled Rectangle Dies.  The edges are brushed with a sponge dauber and either, Old Olive, Melon Mambo, or Calypso Coral ink.  Splatters are made using a Stampin’ Blends in the color of the card flowers so all three card designs have all three colors on the sentiment panel.

I am happy you stop  by today.  I hope you take the time to linger and look at my other blog posts and cards and that you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day.

Stampin’ Up! Adventurous Sky

Stampin’ Up! Adventurous Sky

Comments 4 comments

Happy Friday everyone!  Do you have a fun weekend planned?  Here in Georgia it is too hot to do much outside. Maybe,  if you are in Savannah at the beach, the breeze may be cool encough to be outside.  Enjoy the weekend, whatever you do!

I believe this is called a diagonal Fun Fold, I will call it that.  I have used Stampin’ Up! Adventurous Sky stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Beach Day stamp set for my greeting and sentiment.  Beach Day has been seeing lots of use with me recently.  I also used half of one of the card bases from the Delicate Wings Paper Pumpin Kit as a background piece on the card front.

I am entering my card in 

Triple B: Birds, Butterflies, and Blooms  Challenge

Cut a 4-1/4′ x 11″ Basic White cardstock card base.  Score at 5-1/2″.  On the left panel, cut from the score line to the right corner.  You can see in the photo how the cut is.

Using half of one of the card bases from Delicate Wings Paper Pumpkin, cut the panel 4″ x 5-1/4″ then cut diagonally from the left corner to the right corner.  Adhere the piece to the left panel of the card front.

Using Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies stamp set and Dies you can stamp butterflies and then die cut using one of the dies.  I used butterflies from a large, large stash of butterflies I die cut some time ago.  I believe they multiply over night.  I dipped the edges of the butterflies in Versa Mark end, sprinkled Gold Embossing Powder over them, and heat embossed.  Using a Blending Brush and Lost Lagoon ink, I brushed the center of the butterflies.  A sequin Neutral Adhesive Backed Sequins is popped on the butterflies.

 Cut a piece of Lost Lagoon cardstock 3-1/4′ x 6-1/2″ score at 3-1/4″. Cut a piece of Lost Lagoon 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″.  Embosse the piece using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.  Adhere to the front of the little card.  Pop the butterflies on the front using a Glue Dot.   Using another half panel of a card base from Delicate Wings Paper Pumpkin cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″,  color using a Blending Brush and Lost Lagoon ink.  Adhere the piece to the inside of the card.  Use the remaining half of the card from the card front, adhered to the inside of the left panel. Adhere the little card to the middle of the inside panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Stamp a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Beach Day stamp set in Memento Black ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock.  Also, stamp the  little butterflies from Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies stamp set in Memento Black ink on the sentiment panel.  Color using Lemon Lolly and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends.  Adhere to the inside of the little card.

Stamp a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Adventurous Sky stamp set on a scrap of Basic White cardstock, fussy cut and adhere to the corner of the little card.  Adhere Iridescent Adhesive Backed Gems to the front of the little card.

Adhere a 2-1/4′ x 6″ piece of Country Woods Designer Series Paper to a Basic White envelope flap using Multipurpose Glue.

I am happy you stop  by today.  I hope you take the time to linger and look at my other blog posts and cards and that you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day. My hope and wish are that you wilbe inspired to create amazing creations yourself. Feel free to CAS(E) any card. Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me. Have a blessed day!

  • Ready to Join our team?  Click HERE  for more information. One of the perks of being a demonstrator is that you get to pre-order before a new catalog  launches so you are able to show your customers what they can look forward to having when the new catalog comes out.  You will also be getting at least a 20% discount on purchases. If you love card making as a hobby, you can still be a demonstrator and get that discount to help get more card making items,  or you can be like I was and buy Stampin’ Up! products for 10 years before I became wise enough to become a demonstrator to get the discount.  When I think of all the stamping products that 20% would have brought over those 10 years, I cringe.
