I'm Adding Something New to Paper Pumpkin... and I Think You're Going to Love It!


One of my favourite things each month is opening up my Paper Pumpkin kit. There's just something so fun about that little orange box arriving in the mail!


I have a bit of a routine whenever a new kit arrives. First, I always make one of the projects exactly as Stampin' Up! designed it. I love seeing the original design and getting familiar with all the pieces, stamps, and little details that make each kit unique.


But then I find it fun to maybe change up the layouts, step up the cards a bit and have some fun with the included stamp set.


That's exactly what inspired something new that I'm so excited to share with you below!


The June Bikes & Blooms Kit


Before I get into all the details, I thought it would be fun to show you the kit that inspired the idea.

The Bikes & Blooms Paper Pumpkin kit was full of cheerful florals, adorable bicycle images, and so many fun pieces to mix and match.



As always, I started by creating one of the cards exactly as Stampin' Up! designed it. I love seeing the designer's vision first—it helps me get familiar with all the pieces before I start experimenting.



Then it was fun to be brave and start cutting into the card bases and think about how I could make some different designs. For each of the bike images, I created a stepped up version of the card by adding in a few extra elements and changing up the colour combos a bit. I also loved creating a card using the cute little bike image that comes in the exclusive stamp set.



🎉 Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin After Party with Lori!


Starting with the July Paper Pumpkin kit, I'm excited to introduce something new for everyone who subscribes to Paper Pumpkin with me, as well as my Sunshine Crafters team members who are Paper Pumpkin subscribers.


Because once you've received your kit...the After Party begins!

Each month, I'll create even more ways to use your kit so the creativity doesn't stop with the original designs.


As part of the Paper Pumpkin After Party, you'll receive:

  • Four exclusive bonus projects created with that month's kit

  • Full-colour photos

  • Step-by-step instructions and measurements

  • Creative tips for stretching your supplies even further

  • PDF of the projects for easy reference


Once I've had a chance to create with my kit, I'll send you an email with a private link to that month's Paper Pumpkin After Party page on my website. There, you'll find all of the bonus projects ready for you whenever you're ready to craft!


I think you'll love Paper Pumpkin & the After Party if you...

  • Love getting happy mail every month

  • Enjoy crafting without having to plan everything yourself

  • Want even more ideas for using your kit

  • Love getting the most from your crafting supplies


Whether you're brand new to Paper Pumpkin or you've been subscribing for years, I hope the Paper Pumpkin After Party inspires you to discover even more creative possibilities inside every box.
