Paper Pumpkin Noel Greetings Tags of Joy

Hi friends! 👋 Can we talk about Paper Pumpkin for a minute? Because the next two kits are so good for anyone who wants a head start on the holidays. October brings elegant Christmas cards, and November is all about gift tags. I'm giving you the scoop on both, plus the dates you need to know so you don't miss a box. 🎄🎁

What Is Paper Pumpkin?

If you're new here, Paper Pumpkin is Stampin' Up!'s subscription craft kit. Each kit shows up with everything you need for a themed project in one box, so there's no hunting for supplies and no "what should I make?" moment. You just open it, pour a cup of coffee ☕, and create. It's perfect for busy crafters, brand-new stampers, and anyone who loves a fun surprise in the mailbox.

October Kit: Noel Greetings ✨

October's kit, "Noel Greetings," is all about elegant Christmas cards with gold foil accents. Honestly, these are the kind of handmade Christmas cards that make people hang on to them long after the holidays.

Why I love it:

It's the easiest way to get a head start on your holiday cards
Everything you need comes in one box
The gold foil accents make every card feel special ✨

Important date: Subscribe by Saturday, October 10 to get the Noel Greetings kit. After that, it's gone!

November Kit: Tags of Joy 🎁

Gift wrappers, this one's for you! November's kit, "Tags of Joy," is all about festive handmade gift tags. Imagine your presents under the tree topped with tags you made yourself. 🥰 It's such a sweet, personal touch, and it makes even a simple wrapped box look extra special.

Important dates: Sign up between October 11 and November 10 to get the Tags of Joy kit.

Your Paper Pumpkin Timeline

Here's the easy version so you can put it on your calendar:

Now through Oct 10: Subscribe to get Noel Greetings (Christmas cards)
Oct 11 to Nov 10: Sign up to get Tags of Joy (gift tags)

If you subscribe now, you'll be set up for a really festive stretch: Christmas cards first, then gift tags just in time for wrapping. That's your holiday crafting basically handled! 🙌

Why Paper Pumpkin Is Perfect for the Holidays

The holidays get busy fast, and it's so easy for crafting time to get squeezed out. Paper Pumpkin takes the planning off your plate. Everything's coordinated and ready to go, so even 20 minutes at the kitchen table can turn into a finished project. It's also a lovely way to craft with your kids, grandkids, or a friend.

Beautifully Happy Sale-A-Bration Set with Watercolor

Beautifully Happy is one of the awesome new sets you can get as a gift when you order $100 in product (at one time) and I did some experimenting with watercoloring and stamping combined. Keep scrolling to see all the current happenings surrounding the Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration, including links to the catalogs.

On the bottom two, I stamped the image in Saraha Sand then did a light color wash of Fresh Freesia and Daffodil Delight (in the leaf area), then I used the second step stamps for each region in Garden Green and Real Red. I took a water painter to each region to blend the stamping so you cannot see the details of the stamp. For th one on the right at the bottom, I painted the wash in the background FIRST, trying to get the Daffodil delight in the leaf area and the Fresh Freesia in the flower and bud area.

Here are a couple of the cards I made with the results:

I have posted all of the supplies used on these 2 cards below. When ordering, please use the host code to earn additional Rose Rewards and free gifts from me!
