I finally had some time to sit down and do some of my craft boxes and started with Paper Pumpkin. For this month, it was a kit that made 8 cards in total. There were 4 congratulations cards and 4 thank you cards. They had a sort of 80’s vibe to them with the colors and gold glitter dots. It felt like something I would have made in my pre-teen years.

What came with the kit:

It took me maybe an hour to finish the whole project. I tried to make each one a little different, and also had fun adhering the gold envelope interiors. They made the plain envelopes seem so fancy.

This month’s paper pumpkin arrived and I think it was my favorite so far. This month, they sent a bunch of supplies to make Valentines but it was much more of a “use your own creativity” project than the last ones hand been because you could mix and match any of the supplies to create some different cards.

The supplies:

I ended up spending about 45 minutes working on these, because I was playing around with the different stickers and stamps to see what could be done. I really enjoyed this months project.

My first actual Paper Pumpkin box has arrived and it took a little longer than the trial kit to complete. Here’s what was included:

I was surprised to see it came with another acrylic block. I’m guessing that after this they will just send the stamps since these can be reused.

The project was super simple and took maybe 20 minutes to complete. I liked that they banners and green circles were actual stickers which made them easy to apply. The ink blot stamp was interesting too and gave it a cool effect. These seem like they might make a good gift to give someone.
