Paper Pumpkin by Stampin' Up!® is a paper crafting subscription, or as they put it, a "paper fairy godmother
(without the white hair)...sweeping away the mundane for 25 years." Everything is designed, coordinated, measured, cut and ready. I've been a subscriber since 2013, but I may have neglected to tell you about it. I don't make up every kit as soon as it arrives and if you're not a subscriber, they aren't available, so I was trying not to tease you. Subscribers can pick up extra kits after the current month if they're available, but the December kit - One Great Year - is already sold out. It's my favorite so far, and this time I guess I'll be teasing a bit:
I had been thinking about making myself a desk calendar, and this made it so easy, I almost feel guilty claiming that I made it myself. Plus, the stamp set of all the months and some special day icons will be a great addition to the
Document Life Project™ 2016: the unPlanner™ project that I've signed up for - major bonus!
Not only did I make up my calendar as soon as I could find my craft table, I made it nearly identical to the designer's version - I almost never do that. Here is the October kit - Blissful Bouquet - which I made up recently as a gift for a friend. The original design was 3 different size cards, 3 each, but I prefer A2 cards for mailing, so I added a few pieces of card stock, a stamp or two from another set, and switched up the designs a bit:
This kit is still available to subscribers as a refill (without the stamps and Stampin' Spot ink pad), so not quite as much teasing going on here ;)
Edited to Add - forgot to mention

Beautiful! I like that you made them A2 cards. So creative! Thanks for sharing at the My Pumpkin Challenge! :)
What a perfect sneak peak! AND, a great one for Season of Giving - a gift for yourself, lol. I just made up one of mine almost just like the kit instructions, too - it was too cute not to! Gonna have to go way rogue on my second kit for the next challenge - hope we see you there! Thanks so much for sharing at My Pumpkin Challenge, Kathe!
