Good Morning…. Here’s a trio for you…
a TIP – a DEAL (50% off Paper Pumpkin) & more DEALS (Clearance Rack Re-Stocked!)
I have a useful tip for you today with what to do with those Paper Pumpkin Boxes that seem to grow and grow! They are truly a very useful size and by flipping them inside/out is a perfect re-use solution.
The outside of the “new box” is perfectly plain…a perfect and clean box to re-use! I was mailing some items several weeks ago and thought…why not jazz this useful box up with some flowers! It was funny – this was not planned but there they were….some flowers just sitting on my work area and I thought, WHY NOT?

I had to smile. Under your related part you have the balloon bags from the May 2015 Paper Pumpkin. I used one of those for my FIL in June. It was fresh and festive and he loved the candy inside but also told Phyllis to keep this bag to reuse. It is sturdy and had matching tissue paper and you make the card to match. I was glad I had hoarded, I mean, kept a few of them for special occasions. I have used some bits and pieces from past kits on some of my cards for charities recently. I used the “congrats” little wood sentiment from a past kit just yesterday on a card and gift for her new puppy they adopted. I usually don’t make the whole kits as intended but they are as Susan calls them – Keepers! I can usually find something to use out of the kits whenever I let my imagination take over. Plus, the boxes are wonderful for mailing. I redecorated the insides at Christmas last year making them feel almost like a gift themselves. Fun and it used up some more old DSP! I find myself using the stamps from the kits a lot for little images and sentiments. To me this is a win-win situation. Now, I can take take the cue from Susan and add die cuts to the outside the box. Oh I am so excited to mail a box to someone now! I may have to mail a couple paperback books in one and use those adorable deck chairs or Adirondack chairs from the Colorful Seasons set to decorate the box! Maybe add in a drink mix to the books too!
Wow! $10 is a deal. I love all the stamps and the different ink “spots” that are included in the kit. It’s always fun to see what’s inside and then it’s fun to be creative in a new way too. Have used the boxes for bath mailing and storage. In short, I’m glad I joined the Paper Pumpkin group. I just got a notice that this month’s is on its way, and you can bet I will be watching for its delivery.
I confess to recycling the PP boxes because if I don’t it looks like I’m even behinder on finishing up kits than I am. I probably should flatten and save a few given that some holidays are coming up.
I just made the July kit which is so darling. I do want to jazz the cards up a bit and give them an extra touch but I have the base card done. I just started on the doughnuts cards. I didn’t much care for them but I think cutting up the doughnuts and putting them on square cards that fit those little bags will be fun. There are always alternatives you can do with the kit. People keep telling me that.
I got the pre-paid annual subscription during Sale-a-Bration because then you get lots of freebies for your purchase.
Just Google for the alternatives and you will be amazed at what you will find. There are some really great ideas out there including the doughnuts! Same for videos.
Oh I love being surprised every month ! The stamps are well worth the kit cost (Photopoly)Sometimes I am not thrilled with the crafty ones BUT ….there are other things in the box that are fun ….Baker`s Twine ,Stamp Spots , etc. that I can always use ….I I just received my email on the 10th that my kit was on the way !! YAY ! Pinterest is full of examples of how people use their kits ! It`s fun ! There are refill kits available for the subscribers too !
