May 2015 Paper Pumpkin: Birthday Bundle

I LOVE this month's Paper Pumpkin kit! The stamps, the colors, the projects - all great! Let's start with the stamp set. I think I will be using it for many birthday cards in the future.

So the kit came with supplies for 4 gift bags and 6 cards. I didn't stray too far from the intended project, but I did make 4 different bags and 6 different cards. I had fun coming up with a few different ideas. I hope you like them!

The only thing I added was a few markers, and some glue dots to hold down the twine on the cards where it is used as the balloon string. The markers I used were Bermuda Bay, Tangerine Tango, and Crushed Curry. I think the yellow might actually be Daffodil Delight, but I couldn't find that marker, and the Crushed Curry worked out alright. The banners on the second to last card were made with the two extra tags (the rounded part is hidden underneath, and I just trimmed the edge to make a banner). The only thing I had left was one extra white circle. It just didn't fit to put two circles on one card. The twine was a little bit shorter on my last two bags since I used some on two of the cards, but I still had plenty to close the bag, and the bow looked large enough. It was worth it for those two cards, I think!

Have you subscribed to Paper Pumpkin yet? The kits just keep getting better and better every month, and right now there is a sale of 50% off your first two months. That brings the price down to about $10/month, which is awesome! All you have to do is click here to sign up, and then make sure to enter promo code SAVE50. I'll send you a few little welcome gifts if you do. :-)

Happy Stamping!

New In Color Sneak Peek

Today I am going to dive into the new catalog, beginning with the new In Colors. While I am really going to miss the In Colors that are leaving, I am excited for these new colors. They are right on trend, and just beautiful! Let's take a look:

Cucumber Crush

This bright green is my favorite of the new colors. It's such a cheery color you can't help but like it!

Delightful Dijon

This mustard-y yellow seems to be just a shade off of several of our other yellows. It's a really rich color.

Mint Macaron

Named after a cookie. How can you not like a color that's named after a cookie?! It has a little more blue in it than Pistachio Pudding, I think.

Tip Top Taupe

Say that one 5 times fast! This color is a greige - a mixture of gray and beige - and a color that is very popular as a paint color right now. I think it's going to be a great addition to our other neutrals.

Watermelon Wonder

That just makes you think of summer, doesn't it? I like that there's another bright color, and I think it pairs really well with the Cucumber Crush.

I put together a few quick cards to showcase the new colors.

So pretty! I can't wait to pair them with all of our other colors. The stamp set I used is another sneak peek. It's called Build a Birthday, and you'll see all the images used in the five cards. You can build a birthday cake, make candles, or create fun borders, all with one stamp set! It's very versatile, and I love the pretty greeting too. I hope to give you a few more sneak peeks featuring this set.

For one final wow, take a look at all 10 In Colors lined up. I just fell in love with them when I saw this.

These new colors will be available for customers to purchase on June 2. If you can't wait until then, purchase a starter kit and choose from all of the sneak peek items out of the new catalog! Comment or email me if you are interested in knowing more.

Watch for more sneak peeks in the next few weeks!

Happy Stamping!
