Stamping with Michelle

Paper Pumpkin January 2023:

This month's Paper Pumpkin kit was called Key to My Heart, and the cards are just beautiful.  While it was intended to be a Valentines themed set, the cards are not so overtly Valentines that they couldn't be used for other things.  These are the cards as they were designed, but if you check back over the next couple of weeks, I'll be sharing some alternate design samples as well.

Next month's Paper Pumpkin kit, Sunshine and Smiles, will allow you to create nine fun and cheerful cards that are sure to spread joy and happiness.  Subscribe by February 10 to make sure you get in on this mailing.

January 2023 Paper Pumpkin: Key to My Heart

Before I begin, I want to apologize that my blog posting has become a little bit erratic this month.  I am in a Christmas show this coming weekend, and between that and other obligations as well as my own preparations for Christmas, it has been challenging to keep all the balls in the air.  Hopefully after Christmas I can settle back into the rhythm to which you've become accustomed.

Anyway..all that said, I'm excited to share with you the January Paper Pumpkin kit, Key to My Heart.  This kit will help you prepare for Valentine's Day with nine love-themed cards.  And even if you don't have anybody that you particularly want to sent a Valentine's Day card to, that's OK.  There are lots of ways and reasons that you may want to express love and this kit will allow for that versatility.

Additionally, starting now, you can order an add-on kit that will enable you to create ten heart treat boxes that will coordinate with your cards.  The add on kit is $11.00 and is available while supplies last.  Subscribe by January 10 to make sure you don't miss it.

November Paper Pumpkin: From the North Pole Alternates 2

Today's Paper Pumpkin cards were made using the November kit From the North Pole, and I focused on using just the stamps in the kit.  I kept the same color scheme over all three cards and brought in additional supplies to supplement.  The result was these three quick cards.  That's one of the great things about Paper Pumpkin kits.  Once you've used all the consumable supplies, you still have a great stamp set that you can add to your collection.

October 2022 Paper Pumpkin: Ho Ho Ho Alternates 2

This is my last set of samples using the October Paper Pumpkin kit, and for these I used only the stamps that came in the kit.  There are only a couple of images, but there are lots of great words in the set, and it was super easy to come up with some ideas.  As a matter of fact, I had to stop myself from creating more, lol!  My November kit should be arriving in the next couple of weeks and I'm really excited to see that one.  It is a tag kit which will coordinate with this month's kit.  Maybe I will have to take this set back out and try some cards combining the two?  If you'd like to make sure you receive next month's kit, you have until the end of the day tomorrow to get subscribed.

Paper Pumpkin October 2022: Ho Ho Ho Alternates 1

I apologize for the radio silence for the last week.  It was a combination of I had a crazy week and then Typepad was down for several days, so when I actually was ready to do a blog post, I couldn't get in.

Anyway, I've got some alternate samples today for you that I created using my October Paper Pumpkin kit.  For the most part these cards use only the supplies in the kit with only the addition of some white card stock.  As you can see, there are lots of possibilities!
