Stampin’ Up! August Paper Pumpkin and a Look at September!

My August 2021 Paper Pumpkin kit – the Hope Box from our own Shelli Douglass – arrived last week so….I wanted to share it with you and give you a little good news about it, too! 😉

This kit contained everything to make nine pretty cards – full size A2 cards (with decorated envelopes and everything!).  #nonekkidenvelopes 🙂

And – cool! – the box that it came in was designed to be decorated as a gift box – up to and including all the extra pieces & parts to decorate it and make it even awesomer!

Of course, like all Paper Pumpkin kits – this one had a unique (and exclusive!) stamp set just for the Hope Box, a Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Spot and a spool of Blackberry Bliss ribbon – for decorating the box! 😉

I didn’t get real jiggy with the instructions in the box – like not at ALL jiggy! – so…take a look at what YOU’LL be able to make!

LOVE the beautiful die cut overlay on this one!

The sentiment on this card is actually one of the cool stamp images and is fun with all the layering (you know how I feel about layering!). 😉

How fun is this last design?  Love this envelope SO much!

In case you’re interested in the origins of the Hope Box…

Now – here’s that GOOD NEWS I told you about!!

Did you miss out on the awesome Hope Box Kit?  Or…did you get one and love it so much that you’d like ANOTHER full kit – maybe to gift to someone??  Well – Stampin’ Up! is making the full kits available to ANYone (and you don’t even have to be a Paper Pumpkin subscriber to get one – whoohoo!!).

Okay – so….now let’s take a gander at what’s coming for September!

Experience everything the autumn season has to offer with the Haunts & Harvest Paper Pumpkin Kit! This month’s kit includes enough supplies to create 12 treat boxes—4 each of 3 designs. That means you can take your pick of apple, pumpkins, or jack-o-lantern treat boxes! Plus, the Paper Pumpkin box is designed to easily transform into a vintage wheelbarrow (😳💗😳💗😳) for you to display your harvest!

Whether you’re thinking about crisp red apples or you’re ready to carve some spooky jack-o-lanterns (or both!), the Haunts & Harvest Paper Pumpkin Kit—designed in a vivid fall palette—is a hands-on crafting experience for all autumn lovers!

P.S.  Just a reminder – we won’t be having a FB Live video tonight cuz…I’m “at” our Backstage Event for Stampin’ Up!  We’re supposed to be in Las Vegas – or maybe it was New Orleans (SO many things changed and re-imagined, I can’t keep up!) but…we’re virtual instead!  Stampin’ Up! did their usual – and AWESOME – job of making us feel special!

We each got a huge box in the mail – even LOOKS like fun on the outside!

And when I opened it up…..

There was a cool water bottle, a tote bag, leather note-pad portfolio, notebook, cool pen (with BLING!) and some fun stickers!  And of course our BackStage Pin to wear on our lanyards when we have our next in-person event.

And we WILL have an in-person event!!

Thank you, Stampin’ Up!  I love the way you take care of us! 💗💗💗

29 August 2021

Ever thought about joining as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator but have questions about it? Our team is hosting a fun virtual event to answer all of your questions about joining and to introduce you to our team! We did a similar event in the past and had such a good time that we decided to do it again!

The event will be held mostly on Facebook on a special group page that you’ll be able to join beginning 28 August. The event will “officially” run from 4-8 PM Eastern on the 29th. We’ll also be hosting a virtual “meet & greet” video conference via Zoom Meeting from 7-8 PM Eastern to answer questions, say hello and get to know y’all!  So for those of you who don’t “do” Facebook, you’ll also have a chance to join us!

Drop me an email at stampsnlingers@comcast.net if you’d like more details or if you’d like me to email you the link to the Facebook group or Zoom meeting once they’re open on 28 August.

Watch for more info here on my blog as we get closer!

If you need any stamping supplies, I’d be very happy to be your Demonstrator. Just click on the Order Stampin’ Up! Online Now button on the right side of the screen to go directly to my online store or drop me an email if you have any questions. Happy Stamping!
