Curated Kits Opt for a Subscription

A snippet piece of marketing was released to Demonstrators on Tuesday to get us interested in receiving the March Paper Pumpkin kit. Here is the photo with an interesting watermark background…also teasing us with a free gift!

What I like about these kits is that it includes a stamp set, ink spot and all the pieces to create the projects. A scissor is sometimes needed to cut ribbons. It’s a perfect little crafting box for those that need a little perk me up, like a little surprise in their mailbox or perhaps don’t have all supplies you do (gasp, there are those out there that don’t know about papercrafting as a hobby?!!! Let’s find them and make friends!). You can mail the box to yourself too but you also have the option to change the shipping address for each box as well so you can share them with a friend or two or three.

I do suggest you purchase a subscription of 12 month subscription by February 28th so you can enjoy host rewards AND earn Sale-a-bration free items with your purchase.

Click here to read all the details about the Paper Pumpkin program.

Click here if you are ready to purchase a 12 month subscription through my online store. Once you make the subscription purchase, you will receive an email with a link to set up your Paper Pumpkin account so Paper Pumpkin knows to start using your subscription code and where to send the boxes too. There are also, 1, 3 and 6 month subscription options too but you won’t earn host rewards with these purchases.

You have until March 10th to purchase subscriptions and create your Paper Pumpkin box in order ot receive the box that is advertised in the photo above. They start processing boxes on the 11th of each month (think batch processing) so we hopefully receive them around the 20th of the month in our snail mailboxes.

Paper Crafting Blog Hop Anything But a Card Simply Classic Treat Box

bloghopbannerapril2018-001

Welcome to our Paper Crafting Blog Hop featuring talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the globe including the USA, United Kingdom and Australia. We have a wide array of Anything But a Card projects to share with you featuring January/February 2022 Sale-a-bration products. You may have arrived from Krissi’s blog. She had a fabulous project!

Simply Classic Treat Boxes are easy to decorate. Just pop up the sides, pluck some pretty pattern papers from the Sweet Talk collection, add a tiny gift note using a strip of leftover pattern paper and 2 Gorgeous Grape heart punches and done!

It’s tiny inside but fits a Lindt chocolate (of which I had zero at my house during the design session) and the gift note. The gift note sentiment is from the Tasteful Touches stamp set.

Thanks for hopping with us each month. Now click on the next image to zoom to Tracy’s blog and see what fun project she designed.

The Inspire Create and Share Blog Hop has stops around the world. We are glad you found us. Showcasing Sale-a-bration products is the theme for today’s hop. If you have arrived from June’s blog, welcome! If you are starting at my blog, make sure to hop all the way around until you land back on my blog.

The photopolymer Special Moments stamp set covers lots of card sending occasions. I decided to make some people feel Amazing when they open their snail mail box.

I paired it with products from the Symbols of Fortune suite including the Good Fortune dies, Polished Dots embellishments and Symbols of Fortune Specialty pattern paper that has gold running through one side of each sheet of paper. Added a rectangular stitched shape and a double bow of Crinkled Seam Binding for some extra touches.
