Besides making these kits better all the way around…Stampin' Up! has offered this program in a Prepaid Subscriptions which makes it a great gift and also it is a great way to boost up your hostess earning when you have a guest take advantage of the subscription program.

Click below and you will be taken to my Paper Pumpkin Account…you have nothing to lose and I know you will love that feeling of a special red box in your mailbox every month….
Join Now!
Here is a look at all of the products that came in the June kit!
I love the stamps…the colors – the practicality of the whole set!

The thing I adore is if you are feeling like going right from the directions…..go for it but if you want to play around with your other supplies that you have….the sky's the limit – just promise me to have fun!

I was pleased with how this card below turned out – it reminds me of a stripe tie…my Dad always wears a stripe tie and giving a tie for Fathers Day was always a staple for me growning up!
Look closely at the fun words on the green part – the embossing makes it super fun!


Have you noticed that I have been kining the envelopes ? It wouldn't be a card of mine without it and I used "bye-bye" papers, Polka Dot Parade and also Gingham Garden.

This was a fun card to do…just "free-cut" the pieces – added some dimensionals and good to go. The kit comes with the bakers twine and candy dots – making it fun to do different things!

These kits as a Demonstrator I can "Cash and Carry" them and because I believe in this program so much, I always order extra for customers to take advantage of!
I think besides the cards and projects that you can make from the kit…the stamps and the ink are worth it!

If you would like this kit, please shoot me an email and I will pop it in the mail to you! I think that it's hard to find a simple and classic Father Day Stamp and the Happy Birthday one is timeless!
The kit is $20.00
Now to another topic….

On Monday, typepad was not behaving and I re-posted Monday's post of the graduation card yesterday! I thought it is super cute and I really appreciate all of the emails letting me know that my post was not working ! You all are the best and trust me – it makes me just as sad…aggravated….just cyber frustrated when this happens!!
Thinking positive…let's put that behind us! I have some exciting scoop to share with you and I am going to try to add another post later today if I can squeeze it in!
Thanks for popping by and please feel free to email me! If you would like one of these kits – let me know and I will pop it in the mail to you!
Enjoy the day and….Until tomorrow!

You all have heard me time and time before how I change my mind about the Paper Pumpkin Program and I sure hope that this post can show you why! As the saying goes…."You've come a long way baby"…and this baby just has it's 1st Birthday!!!
Stampin' Up! is doing "the next step" for us…and that is that you can pre-pay subscriptions for yourself…a gift….and use it when you attend a class…workshop etc…..

Why would you want to do the subscription thing???…..easy-peasy – you can earn hostess rewards on the Prepaid Subscriptions AND you save a "smidge" on the six month and annual subscriptions.
When you purchase an Annual Subscription to Paper Pumpkin for $215.40, you will save $2 per month for the kits AND earn $30 of free product from hosting rewards. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions!

Here’s the scoop on the prepaid subscriptions:

I truly adore these kits and I am so happy that Stampin' Up! listen and changed the quantity and the quality of the program!
The pictures that I have for you are from the April Kit! If you would like one of these kits…please email me and I will be happy to send one your way!….They are $20.00 and I will pick up the shipping!
Click here to see a video!
Here are the stamps that are in this kit! I do not know about you…but these stamps and ink spots in itself are worth the $20.00…keepers – they are super versatile and FUN!!!

I have been purchasing many extras each month as I totally believe in this program…and these are "cash and carry" so I can share this with YOU! I am so pleased with this program and I believe in this program….that I have decided to order more to show with you the versatility of the program!


I used the Heart Framelits to "switch it up a bit" and I like it…the gel pen and the dashes add the fun touch! These kits are so versatile….just wait until you can see how there are ways to "change it up"

Are you "ENJOYING" this?!?!….here is a great way to "change things up" and still use products from the catalog but I also used the Simply Celebrate Stamp Set….( I adore this "enjoy")
I used the Banner Framelits and the dashes made it FUN….well – I think the Stampin' Dimensionals were the things that made it FUN!

Here is another example of how you can "switch up the frame" to make it have another look! I think that those one is super fun and classic! I used the Perfect Couple Stamp Set….LOVE IT!

I hope that you are "getting it" that you can take ONE SIMPLE FRAME AND STAMPS…and then let your imagination go wild and have fun!

I am so proud of Stampin' Up! for doing such a an amazing job with the Paper Pumpkin Program! Please email me and let me know if you would like one of these kits!
These are not only great gifts…they are perfect for kids at college….sisters that live far away….a friend that you miss….something for YOU! – the ideas are endless!
I am and email away of you would like to "chat" about this program and also if you would like me to send you this kits…it's a WOWZERS!!!! I only have a limited and I will mail it to you today!
Mother's Day will be here soon…
Until tomorrow!

I admit…I never thought I would be excited to get this little orange box in the mail each month! At our house…John always stops at the end of our lane to get the mail and when I got home from work last night…he knew that I would be excited!
I had a late meeting and did not get home until after 8 and I "changed my post" for today to bring to YOU the latest Paper Pumpkin! It is sooooo funny as earlier yesterday I emailed the Pals Chat asking if others received their pumpkins….some did…some did not…but I felt like a kid as I walked in the door and saw the box!!!
I did say a quick "Hi John"….swooped up my box and went right up to my work area!

Remember, if you join Paper Pumpkin before March 31st, not only will you receive the "Starter Kit" – you will also receive a pack of in-color markers! This is only until the 31st…so please click here and sign up! You will be soooooo impressed with the direction that this program has gone!
This months kit contains all of the goodies to make 8 cards – plus the "woot-woot" of getting 2 photopolymer stamps that you will use over and over on other projects and also 2 ink pad spots, one in Island Indigo and the other in Calypso Coral!
I apologize in advance that the pictures are not the best but at the time that I was taking pictures, I was very limited! Below are a bunch of pictures showing you different options in using the kit in other fashions! This is another reason why I am lovin' this program…you can switch it up to reflect your personality!
This picture shows a sample that I took directly from the suggestions that Stampin' Up! included in the kit!

The Kit comes with these gold liners that are beautiful! TIP! – you can cut the in half…and with the piece you cut off….it will allow you to make another liner with the envelope liner framelit or it is great to use for punches! The little gold sparkle dots already have adhesive on the back!
Now to some changes I did to show you a variety of the kit! Remember…let YOUR personality inspire your work! It was so fun and I do hope that you join this program! You have nothing to loose as if you want to stop….that is YOUR choice – just notify Stampin' Up by the 10th of the month and you will not be charged or shipped a kit! How is that for incredible customer service!

What did I do here! I used the versa mark pad and then heat embossed it with black embossing powder and the heat tool! I think this is a super cute card! I also added the flowers with the Petite Petals Punch (love this punch!)

This is a super cute 3 X 3 enclosure card using one of the stamps (love them…so basic for many cards) and then stamping over with the sweet "thank you" from the Another Thank You Photopolymer Set in Black Staz on!

The liner is from the Sale-A-Bration goodies and remember that it is only good until the 31st – less than 2 weeks away! This is such an amazing collection of paper and I wish it was in the regular catalog as it is a keeper! It can be yours for free with a $50.00 order! I added a bit of bling…the Rhinestone Basic Jewels added the perfect touch!

Isn't this fun!?!? I heat embossed this with the Melon Mambo Embossing Powder and tehn the triangle punch witht the finale of the envelope liner with the Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper!


You can see all of the fun and versatile cards and projects you can make! This kit will make 8 cards and envelopes plusyou will have the stamps…the ink pad spots….and if you are "creative and resourceful" – you will find ways to use up the extras!!!
It was hard to get a good shot but here you can see the wodden images and the contents of this months kit!


Soooooooo….how to get started….click here and you will go to the Paper Pumpkin Website! You then click the subscribe button and it will walk you through the information they need!
When it comes to having a demonstrator – I would deeply appreciate if you put my name, Susan Itell and it will ask my city & state = Williamsport, MD!

As I have said before, your 1st kit will be a starter kit and besides the stamps and product, it will also have a clear mounting block so every month when you get new stamps – you have a block to use!!!! (that a woot-woot!)….and remember – before the 31st – you will get the in color markers to!
I have ordered many extras of this months kit…so if you want one of these – please email me and I will respond back to you and send you one! When I was at Regionals on January and had the opportunity to see February and March's kits…I knew that I wanted to order more as I knew that those of ou that just purchased the "starter kit" would wnat one of these!
In closing, the best news is….
Once you become a Paper Pumpkin Kit Member, you will have the opportunity to contact Stampin' Up and order extras of ones that you really love or maybe ones that you would like to give as a gift!
I hope that this has inspired you! I had super fun making these for you and I would appreciate if you would become a pumpkin with me! I do something special for my Pumpkin Patch members and I would like you to be in the patch with us!
Enjoy the day…..stampin' hugs and until tomorrow!
