Good Saturday to you! Hope you’re having a fine weekend.
So – when I was home for 5 hours last weekend, I snagged my July Paper Pumpkin box – aptly name Picnic Paradise! – and brought it back with me!
It. Is. So. Cute! Take a look-see:
It’s got all you need to make 4 cute picnic baskets and 12 little note cards!
The little baskets, with their country-fied plaid papers tucked inside are perfect for holding the little cards.
Or…chocolate! 😉
I love the fun images in the included (and exclusive!) stamp set. The sentiments are super useful – and would work on lots of other projects when you’re done with the kit!
Check out this quick video that Stampin’ Up! made showing how to put the kit together
Here’s some other ideas and projects that you could make with the goodies in this kit!

Oh , those are nifty little baskets! I can see them for a Red Hat “do” with chocolate.
They’d be pretty perfect for that, for sure! 🙂
I love the retired quilted Christmas dsp
Yep – that was a fun one – thanks, Dianne! 🙂
Stripy enjoy seeing your cool cards and ideas everyday. Thanks so much for sharing. Really like Paper Pumpkin and enjoyed June’s cards-HOORAY.
Thanks so much, Marcia! Glad you enjoy the Paper Pumpkins! 🙂
My favorite dsp from SU was Candy Cane Christmas. I just loved the gingerbread man and candy and the little houses.
Those little images were so cute, weren’t they?!? Thanks, Babe! 🙂
I only had to think about it for 30 seconds. There are/have been many lovely papers, but my all time favorite and my ‘go to’ DSP has to be Wood Textures. No doubt about it. It is so very versatile for so many kinds of cards. Or projects.
Oh yes! That one is WAY up on my list, too! Thanks, Julie! 🙂
Love both Paper Pumpkin kits! My favorite paper is the Broadway Bound paper. Love the colors!
I love that Black and White with the Gold pops, too. Thanks, Carrie! 🙂
My favorite DSP is the Twinkle Twinkle paper. Thanks for the chance to win!
It’s really versatile, isn’t it?!? Thanks, Joslyn! 🙂
So many favorites it’s hard to pick just one! Currently at the top of my list is Twinkle Twinkle. ⭐️
Love it – so pretty and so many uses! 🙂 Thanks, Pat! 🙂
Whole Lot of Lovely has got to be my favorite DSP–The florals were beautiful. Second favorite was Birthday Memories, Delightful Daisies, Wildflower Fields, etc, etc, etc. It’s all gorgeous. Have a beautiful day.
It IS really hard to pick, isn’t it!?! But Whole Lot of Lovely was wonderful! Thanks, Sandi! 🙂
Mary, thank you for your generous blog candy give-away! i would love to have either Paper Pumpkin kit. I enjoy your blog so much! Thanks for sharing and for the inspiration.
So glad that you enjoy the blog, Peggy, thank you for that! 🙂
Mary, the DSP I really like came out before I joined Stampin Up. It is the Be of Good Cheer. It reminds me of the childhood candy that I received at Christmas…the little round hard candy, large peppermint sticks and the ribbon candy. I have some of this paper but hate to use it because of the good memories it brings. Christmas will always hold a special place in my heart.
We had that candy, too! Was one of my favorite things around Christmas. And yes – I love Christmas, too! Thanks, Lila! 🙂
I love most all of SU dsp. I still have some from so far back that I cant remember the name of it. maybe from 2005. But I really like Tranquil Textures . You amaze m with your inspiration. Thank You.
Tranquil Textures is so beautiful! Love all the options it gives us! Thank you so much for the kind words, Kay! 🙂
I really like picture perfect party. I’ve made some really fun birthday cards with that pack. The picnic paper pumpkin is so cute. Thanks for the chance to win.
Yes – that one’s a lot of fun to play with! Thanks! 🙂
Mary, thanks for your generous blog candy give-away!! my first picnic basket was rather a pain to put together but once I figured out that glue dots were essential in holding it together, it was smooth sailing from then on. Broadway star is my favorite kit of the two. my favorite DSP is the black & white petal passion, love adding color to the pages. I also really like the animal expedition from this years catalog. TFS

There are so many cool papers, aren’t there – hard to pick just one fave! Thanks, Kay! 🙂
I really think the Animal Expedition DSP is so darn cute……plus you always have the other side for other cards that aren’t kid oriented!! Thanks for the opportunity to win a PP kit.
Yes – it’s great the way the two sides can give you such different “flavors”!! 🙂
I just love Stampin Up DSP. My current favorite is Tropical Escape. The colors are delish!
Yup – one of my favorite color combinations! 🙂
I really like Twinkle Twinkle . However, I think a must have are the Brights, Regals, Subtles, etc., DSP ‘s. I wish they still did them in 12×12.
Thanks for the opportunity to win a great giveaway.

You’re welcome! I like the backgrounds, too – so handy! 🙂
I’m crushing on Twinkle Twinkle right now.
Yes – it’s a really nice paper – so many uses and I love the colors! Thanks, Kathy! 🙂
My overall favorite from all the years I have been aware of SU (about 15 now) is Candy Cane Lane. I absolutely adore gingerbreadman and have hoarded so many packs of that dsp! My new fav I think..I haven’t gotten my hands on it yet, is the Santa Helper (?) one.
Santa’s Workshop – yep, that’s a cute one and the images in several designs coordinate with the Santa’s Signposts Framelits!! Coolness!! 🙂 Thanks, Stephanie! 🙂
Hi Mary, nice blog candy. Favorite DSP is rough to choose from. Share what you love and Natures Poem are my favorite this time of year. Could change at a drop of the hat. Fickle in my old age.
Seriously, I hope your times goes quickly and that you can return home soon to the ponies, Finn and Wayne. Working from far away is no fun at all.
I am quite ready, Paula, no doubt! And I get the fickle. My favorite is frequently whichever one I’m using at any given moment!! 🙂
My favorite DSP is from many years ago and was called Afternoon Tea. I bought multiple packs of it and still have a tiny bit left.
Sounds like it’s lovely! Glad that you’ve been doling it out to yourself! Thanks, Pat! 🙂
I love most of SU DSP, it’s hard to pick. I absolutely love all the new DSP out now, but my current favorite I’d have to say is the Twinkle, Twinkle and the one I use the most of and love is Wood Textures. I have a lot of favorites from the past 9 years that I’ve been buying. It’s very hard to pick one.
Thanks for all your inspiration.
I know – it’s like trying to pick your favorite pony…or puppy! Love them all. But – Wood Textures…yep. That’s WAY up there! Thanks so much, Karen! 🙂
I love, love, love the Tropical Escapes DSP. It’s my new favorite! It is so summery it makes me happy just to look at it!
Yes – it’s one of my very favorite papers – love the colors!! 🙂
Paper Pumpkin always has such neat things! Love July’s kit with the strawberries & blueberries! YUM! I would have to say that Stampin Up has had SO many beautiful papers since I have been using their products from back in 2001. The one I REALLY loved is the Candy Cane Lane with those cute gingerbread men! My kitchen is done in gingers! LOL I know werid, huh? I also like the Wood Textures and the Tropical Escape papers! Can’t go wrong with any of their DSP’s though! Thank you for offering the blog candy and I hope you soon get back home to your family! Finn must really be missing you!
Yea – Candy Cane Lane was adorable! Loved the Crumb Cake base on that paper! But – it really IS hard to pick, isn’t it?!? I’m looking forward to getting home to the wiggle butt, for certain sure! Thanks, Wendy!
I think my favorite would be the recent SAB Spring foil DSP. Love the sparkle and shine!
Yes – that paper was gorgeous!! Thanks, Marilyn! 🙂
Thank you for sharing!!! I would be excited to have either one of these!
Thanks, Ardelia! Best of luck in the draw! 🙂
I love the new Under the Mistletoe DSP. It’s so hard to pick a favorite!
Yes – I really like that one, too – I’m always fond of Christmas paper! Thanks! 🙂
Frosted floral is one of my favorites! However, Share what you love and Broadway bound are terrific too!
Yes yes and yes! All are beautiful! Thanks, Valerie! 🙂
Hey Mary! I have to say that I’m really liking the looks of the new Santa’s Workshop dsp. Looks like a lot of fun to be had with the whole bundle 🙂
Yea – it really is fun! 🙂
Hello Mary! My favorite DSP is Coffee Break. Gotta love that coffee! Missing Finn’s pics. 😢
He’ll be back! He’s having fun at home – but I’m sure missing him! Thanks, Karen! 🙂
