Morning, y’all! Hope your week is successfully winding down! Mine is. I mean…I think it is? I am really having trouble keeping track of the days. I keep thinking it’s the weekend – and being really surprised when there’s a lot of traffic on the road at 4 in the afternoon. I’m actually kind of surprised at how disorienting NOT working is – guess I figured that, since I worked at home for so many years…it would feel the the same. It’s totally not! 😉
So – the topic for today is Paper Pumpkin – and…Blog Candy! Will that be okay?
I got my Gift of Fall Paper Pumpkin and then I bought the cool Add-on, too. And I saw so many folks talking about how wonderful it is! So…I went to open it up and put it all together. And then…I thought…why don’t you save it – and give it away?? 🙂
That seemed like a really splendid idea – so…that’s what I’m doing!
I’m giving away a Gift of Fall Paper Pumpkin…check it out right here in the Unboxing Video…
…and an add-on bundle (so the winner can make cards, too!).
But – before we get to the How-Can-I-Win-This-Awesome-Candy part of the program – let’s take a little look at what’s coming in September from Paper Pumpkin! It’s a “hand”-made Halloween Kit that is going to be a chillingly good time!
This one will let you whip up 20 Halloween-themed, food safe-treat boxes – in Basic Black, Gorgeous Grape, Pumpkin Pie and Whisper White! Sounds pretty fun to me! And – who knows? Maybe there’ll even be an add-on bundle like this month! Fingers crossed! 🙂
Here’s what you need to do to get the September Kit.
Get. Signed. Up. By 10 Sept! Easy peasy.
If you are NOT an ACTIVE Paper Pumpkin Subscriber…
You can sign up for a subscription where you’re billed monthly for your kit – click here to get started.
Or you can…do a Prepaid Subscription! To see the options for prepaid subscriptions in my online store, click here.
So – here’s the thing. You MUST be an ACTIVE Paper Pumpkin Subscriber by 10 September to get this kit!! If you subscribe AFTER 10 September – you are going to get the October kit! Make sense? 🙂
Okay – I expect to see y’all signing up right away – cuz that looks like a fun one for Halloween!!
Now – on to the candy! The Blog Candy, that is!
To enter to win this Gift Of Fall kit and coordinating Add-on Bundle, all you need to do is leave a comment on this blog post by 5pm Eastern Time on Tuesday, 27 Aug 19 and tell me your favorite new BUNDLE in the 2019 Holiday Catalog!

Yep – the abuse is real! 😉 Thanks, Amy! 🙂
My favorite bundle from the new catty? That would depend on what day it is! Today it’s For the Birds…so in love with the framelit set! Love this months PP and add on…Stampin Up is so clever!! THey get me every time!!
LOL – I hear that! Thanks, Barbara! 🙂
Would love to win this blog candy-missed the deadline for ordering 🙁 . There are so many great bundles but since I live close to the SC coast my favorite right now is Sailing Away. Thanks for all your daily inspiration and a chance to win!
Thanks, Vicki – good luck in the draw! 🙂
My favorite bundle is the Perfectly Plaid bundle. I love the tree punch for easy trees and the gorgeous plaid with metallic gold DSP. I would love to win the PP kit. Thank you for sharing. Love your blog and ideas.
Yes and yes! Love that bundle! Thanks, Cindy! 🙂
Hi Mary! It is so hard to pick just one. The entire catalog is amazing! I really love the Perfectly Plaid Bundle. I really like pine trees and plaids, so this is the perfect set for me. Thanks for all you do!!
Thank you, Pam! That one is very high on my list, too! 🙂
I like the Spooktacular Bash Bundle because the ornate frames can be used all year long and they are beautiful.
Yep – it’s a fun one, for sure! Check out my Wicked Good Fun bundle, Babe! Thanks! 🙂
There are some pretty nice looking bundles but I think my favorite would be the Cup of Christmas bundle. I like the new reversible stamps!
Yes – and we’ve heard there are going to be more of them! Thanks, Debbie! 🙂
the 2 bundles I am using constantly are the A Little Lace, and Bloom and Grow. So many fun ways to change them up and color….
Great bundles! Thanks! 🙂
Peaceful Boughs
Thanks! 🙂
Wow, you want us to pick 1 favorite bundle but we saw your haul on your facebook live on Saturday and it’s clear you couldn’t pick just one! I’m pretty sure I need them all so instead of my favorite I’m going with the first on my wish list–Still Scenes Bundle. Not only is it beautiful but unique and very versatile.
Now quit worrying about what day it is–you will come to love the fact that you don’t know, don’t need to know and just don’t care! lol
I know – kind of a do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do situation! Thanks for the good advice – working to take it, Mary! Good luck in the draw! 🙂
My favorite new set is the let it snow suite. I love all snowman stamps. Thanks for a chance to win.
That’s a good one! Thanks – and good luck! 🙂
my favorite new bundle in the Holiday Catalog is the First Frost suite. The DSP alone is to die for!!! Thanks for having a fun little contest and give-a-way!! So fun!
Thanks, Lisa – good luck! 🙂
My favorite bundle (today) is Bird Ballad and I’d play with the puppy!!!
LOL! So do we all, Kathy – he pretty much rules the roost! Thanks – and good luck in the draw! 🙂
My favorite bundle in the holiday catalog is a tie between Snowman Season, Cup of Christmas, and Harvest Hellos…but Spooktacular Bash and Tags Tags Tags are a close second!! Guess I kinda like several things
LOL! Me, too, Linda! Thanks much – and good luck in the draw! 🙂
Perfectly Plaid Bundle is my fav in the holiday catty. I love your cards. I have been secretly watching for quite some time. Thanks for sharing your creations.
Thanks, Arlene – it’s a fave for me, too! Thanks for watching!! 🙂
Hey Mary! My favorite, well that’s a hard one because I like them all. Let’s be honest SU did an awesome job with this holiday catalog. Oh yes almost forgot Mr. Finn is trying to get your attention Mom! 🙂
Yep- cuz he’d NEVER get any attention otherwise! 😉 Thanks, Kathy! 🙂
Love the Perfectly Plaid bundle and that adorable Christmas tree punch.you made a really cute card with them!.
Thanks Val – those are awesome sets! 🙂
Well, to choose just one is a toughie!!! But . . . I’ve never had a moose stamp or punch, so I think my fav is Merry Moose!
Right? How fun is he?! Thanks, Angie! 🙂
I think my favorite is snowman season. An adorable snowman and a punch. Can be used all winter long. Thanks for the chance to win some blog candy.
It really is cute – and very Versatile! 🙂 Thanks, Phyllis! 🙂
Hi Mary
My favorite bundle has to be Still Scenes bundle as I love snow globes. But very close seconds are Perfectly Plaid and Merry Moose. Love your retirement comments as I am retiring in just a few days!
Well – congratulations! Well earned and deserved, I am sure! Enjoy it, Mariylyn!! Thank you! 🙂
TODAY… my favorite bundle is Peaceful Boughs. Thank you for this chance to win! Love seeing that sweet “Finn” face! I am glad he is so loved by you! Their time with us is all too short. Our precious Golden moved onto the “Rainbow Bridge”…last night.
Oh Barb – I am SO SO sorry. What a devastating thing for you and your family. I know he was well loved – and knew it every day! 🙁
Toile Christmas is my favorite!
Anything Cardinal gets my vote!
This is an awesome blog candy Mary!
Thanks, Paula – I do love that bird, too! 🙂
I am a new follower and I look forward to your emails every morning! They make me laugh and inspire me to want to craft craft craft!!!
Thank you so much, Tammy! I appreciate you telling me that! 🙂
You want us to pick just One!!! Impossible but I’ve narrowed it down to 2. I love the the Snowman Season and the Still Scenes. Oh and I can’t forget the Perfectly Plaid set. Oh and then there is the Free Skate Stamp set. AND. … oh I can’t pick just ONE!!!
ROLF!! I sure do get that, Jean! Thank you for trying! 🙂
I really like the Come to Gather Suite! I live in Southern California and the only Fall we really get is from what I can decorate. Second choice is the First Frost Suite for the same reason. I can remember Fall and the first frost from living in the Midwest and the South.
Glad we can bring a little Fall to SoCal for you! Thanks, Jane! 🙂
Hi Mary, I love the Peaceful Boughs Bundle but at Christmas the cardinals (Toile Christmas Bundle) are so beautiful. I will have to take the cardinal and sit him in the boughs.
What a wonderful design idea with those two sets, Lila! Thanks! 🙂
My favorite bundle in the holiday catalog is the entire Feels Like Frost Suite. Love that dsp! Wow!
Is’t it just gorgeous! Thanks, Dayle! 🙂
Hi Mary, my favorite bundle? Well, the Toile Christmas has gorgeous papers and I really love that cardinal, but then the SO Many Stars bundle is lovely too. Then there is Cup of Christmas—Heck, I can’t decide. I will tell you that my very favorite stamp in the whole catalog is the Nature’s Beauty on the back page.
Yes – that’s a gorgeous stamp set, for sure! Thanks, Sandi! 🙂
Hi, my favorite bundle in the holiday catalog is the Perfectly Plaid. It was a hard choice to just pick one!
That’s one of my fave’s, too – and yes- picking just ONE is darned near impossible! Thanks, Kristine!:)
Loving the Ride With Me bundle. Makes a fun card for anyone.
Yes – it sure is! Thanks, Yvonne! 🙂
I love the Frost Suite. Thank you for arranging a giveaway.
I can’t wait to see the catalog.
Thanks, Lora – that one seems to be a heavy favorite!! 🙂
Hi there Mary! You’re such a creative and generous Demonstrator. Sailing away is one of my favorite bundles, it offers so many possibilities for card making.
Thanks, Darryl – appreciate the kind words! And yes – that’s a heavy favorite!! 🙂
From one Mary to another….my favorite bundle from the Christmas Catalog would have to be the perfectly plaid bundle. I love, love, LOVE, plaid. (This probably comes from having to wear so much of it in parochial school 🤣) I wish SU let you buy just the stamp set from the PP because Fall is my favorite time of year. I love the berry branch stamp—-so much I could do with that. But, I can’t wait for my Christmas Share!!!!
I love plaid, too, Mary – and I didn’t even go to a parochial school! 🙂 Thanks so much! 🙂
My favorite bundle is Spooktacular Bash. I love Halloween and every year make bags of goodies to hand out to the kiddies. It’s a perfect set for the bags. Love it!!! Thanks for a chance to win.
Thanks, Cyndie! And that suite is so cool! 🙂
Thanks for this opportunity! I have such a sweet tooth for blog candy!! I think my favorite suite from the catty is A Wish for Everything. So useful and versatile. it was my first pick.
Well – this is a SWEET one, for sure! Thanks much, Peggy! 🙂
I really really like the Frosted Foliage bundle, and in particular the Frosted Frames Dies and the DSP. Just awesome
It’s gorgeous, indeed! Thanks, Lynn! 🙂
I love the Perfectly Plaid Bundle! SO many cute ideas!
Yep – it’s a fave! Thanks, Stephanie! 🙂
Wow, SU did a great job on the Holiday Catalog…..hard to choose just one. But, I think I will go with “Come Together” bundle. It is just great for the fall & pumpkin season. Thanks for a chance to try Paper Pumpkin…..haven’t pulled the trigger on that adventure…..yet! Love the antics of Finn & all the great ideas you present on your blog.
Yes – they really did. I have a favorite (or three!) on every darned page! Thank goodness for that discount! Thanks! 🙂
Without a doubt. I love the Toile Christmas bundle.
I love the Cardinal and paper. It’s on the top of my wish list!
Beautiful bundle, for sure, Karen!! Thanks! 🙂
I don’t remember being so interested in so many of the designs from other years, but his year it’s hard to narrow down. I think I’m going with Christmas Gleaming.
I know – it’s a crazy good catalog with something (or FIVE somethings!) to love on pretty much every page! Thanks!
I love, love, love the Still Scenes bundle. It puts a smile on my f.ace.
It’s sure pretty, isn’t it? Thanks, Beverly! 🙂
