Paper Pumpkin July 2016 What a Gem

Hooray! Hooray! My Paper Pumpkin Kit arrived in the mail! I love getting a present every month! Paper Pumpkin is like treating yourself to 12 birthdays a year! Each kit is a new surprise filled with all the stamps, ink, and paper you need to make an amazing project. All the prep work is done so you can skip to the fun!

This month's kit is called What a Gem. How cute is this?!?! These boxes would be terrific for a little present or filled with candy or chocolates. I bet a grouping of these boxes makes a great mobile, place cards, or scatter on the table for a party centerpiece. They almost look like mini piñatas too! Yay! The ideas are turning!

Not only are the boxes shaped like precious jewels but so are the stamps! They remind me of the gorgeous but retired Shine On Specialty DSP from the 2016 Occasions catalog.

You could stamp all of the gems randomly on a piece of Kraft cardstock and emboss them with silver or gold embossing powder to achieve a similar look! Lots of sparkle-y goodness!

Our next Paper Pumpkin Kit Club is Saturday, July 23rd from 1pm to 4pm. We will assemble and create alternative projects using the kit's supplies as well as additional Stampin' Up! products. Bring your kit and scissors. This event is free. However, please RSVP one week prior by text, phone, or email. I want to prepare enough refreshments for everyone.

Even if you are not a subscriber, come to our club meeting to see how fun Paper Pumpkin and sign up!

Thanks for stopping by!
