I’m early! Yay!! I was excited when I got my hands on the special Paper Pumpkin kit this month. And I got to creating right away.
Why is this kit special? Stampin’ Up!’s board chair & cofounder, Shelli Gardner worked closely with designers and concept artists to create a Paper Pumpkin kit that was uniquely hers. AND this May 2019 Hugs From Shelli kit went “global.” Normally these kits are available only in the US and Canada. But paper crafters in all South Pacific, European, and North American markets were able to get their hands on it!
While this kit is fantastic as is (it includes supplies to put together 12 beautiful note cards: 3 of 4 kinds and includes the supplies shown below)…
…I like to think outside the box, see what else I can come up with, and create alternate cards and other project ideas. I added the extra supplies in the product list below to the above kit supplies to create my alternate projects that I’m sharing with you today:
eight cards from the supplies of 4 (to show how to double your kit!)
and a 12×12 scrapbook page layout
Watch my video first to get to get measurements, directions, and tips (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog). Then scroll down to see close-up photos, access the links that I mentioned at the beginning of my video, and see a list of extra supplies (linked to my online store) that I used to make my creations. By the way, some of the products are new and won’t be available to everyone until June 4. So keep that in mind when clicking on the product links below.
Here are photos of the cards the kit instructs how to make.
And here are close-up photos of the alternate projects I made and shared in my video. (Remember to watch the video first to get measurements, tips and directions.)
DOUBLE THE CARDS IN THE KIT (8 cards from the supplies of 4)

12X12 SCRAPBOOK PAGE LAYOUT
I love scrapbooking, and I’ve created pages with every kit since Paper Pumpkin first started back in March 2013. My goal is to fit many photos on my layouts, thus the multiple photo mats. This layout was fairly simple to put together with elements from the May 2019 kit, some coordinating Bird Ballad Designer paper, Petal Pink Organdy Striped Ribbon, a Bird Ballad Trinket and some Neutrals 12×12 Cardstock. The most time consuming part was cutting around the nest and branches.
I hope I inspired your creativity with what I shared today!

ANNUAL CATALOG NEWS Due to recent supplier issues (and other factors), Stampin’ Up! will no longer be carrying the current die-cutting machine and trimmer: The Big Shot and Stampin’ Trimmer are retiring. These changes are giving Stampin’ Up! the opportunity to research and explore replacement options. But there will be a gap when we do not have a trimmer or die-cutting machine available. You will not see these items in the upcoming 2019-20 Annual Catalog that debuts June 4, 2019. Click here for more information.
Today I was going to just share my latest Easter-themed creations with the March 2019 Paper Pumpkin kit. But first I want to let you know about some Stampin’ Up!® product news – changes that you’ll see coming when the new 2019-20 Annual Catalog debuts in June.
It was announced yesterday that due to recent supplier issues (and other factors), Stampin’ Up! will no longer be carrying the current die-cutting machine and trimmer: The Big Shot and Stampin’ Trimmer will be retiring. These changes are giving Stampin’ Up! the opportunity to research and explore replacement options. And there will be a gap when we do not have a trimmer or die-cutting machine available.
When the retiring list goes live on April 15, the order limit for the Stampin’ Trimmer Cutting Blade Refills will increase from three to six (and the limit will remain at six until they’re no longer available). And from now until September, SU will receive intermittent shipments from the supplier.
The dies and folders that will be offered will not be from our current supplier. So there will be small changes: the dies and folders will be manufactured differently; this means the way you use the new style of dies and folders will be a little different than how you used the old style. Both the new-style and old-style dies and embossing folders can work with any die-cutting & embossing machine (in some cases, adaptations like shims may be required because the gap between rollers on machines may vary slightly between manufacturers). Click here for more details regarding the changes to our die-cutting machine, dies and embossing folders.
I realize for many of you that this news may be a little jaw-dropping at first. I had a similar reaction. But after giving it a little more thought, reminding myself that change is an opportunity for new and better, and knowing what a strong company Stampin’ Up! has been for 30 years, I now anticipate some marvelous changes to come! And I’m excited.
Did you get the March 2019 Hoppin’ Birthday Paper Pumpkin kit? If you did and you are still looking for more alternate project ideas, perhaps my Easter-themed card or scrapbook page shown below will appeal to you. I designed the card so I could send them to a few of my lucky subscribers. And then I couldn’t stop creating eggs! hahaha So the pages were “born.”
How did I make the eggs? I use the Balloon Bouquet Punch that coordinates with the balloon image in the free bonus numbers stamp set that came in the kit!
Products I used… See below for a list of products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements of kit products:
Red & pink diagonally striped strip:
Two pieces that are 3/8″ x 4-1/4″
Pale blue banner
1/2 of one banner
Pink envelope liner
Scrap for punching large balloon shape
Blue card base
Scrap for punching small balloon shape
Measurements of extra products:
Whisper White Cardstock
8-1/2” x 5-1/2” scored at 4-1/4” and folded in half
Granny Apple Green Cardstock
4” x 3-1/2”
Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock
Scraps for punching leaves
Directions for the card:
Add the adhesive to the underside of the Granny Apple Green top and bottom edges, then attach the green to the diagonally striped strips. This layer can then be added to the Whisper White card base using Dimensionals.
After stamping the sentiment on the half banner piece, curl the end with a Bone Folder and attach to the card using SNAIL Adhesive.
Punch out the balloons and leaves. Trim the ends of the balloons to create the egg shapes. Attach the eggs and bow to the card using Dimensionals, Then slip in and add the leaf clusters using Glue Dots.
Adhere a few pearls for a little more sprinkle of color.
Now for the pages below, you’ll notice that I have six matching photo mats made from the envelopes in the kit. I had to use envelopes from TWO kits to get this many photo mats. So if you only have one kit, you can either use both the polka-dot lined envelopes AND the striped or just use Whisper White Cardstock.
Measurements of kit products:
Red & pink diagonally striped papers:
Two long edges from what is left over after removing the strips.
One strip for punching two small balloon shapes
Pale blue banner
1/2 of one banner
Pink envelope liner
Scraps for punching two small balloon shapes
Blue card base
Scraps for punching three large balloon shapes
Pink card insert
Scrap for punching large balloon shape
Yellow card insert
Scrap of yellow present area for punching two small balloon shapes
Envelope flap lined with yellow stripes
Scrap for punching large balloon shape
Measurements of extra products:
Whisper White Cardstock
2” x 12”
Granny Apple Green Cardstock
12″ x 12″
11″ x 12″
Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock
Scraps for punching leaves
Directions for the pages:
Use the scalloped label piece in the kit to form the basket. Turn it on its side. Trim off the bottom, and fold about 1/2″ over the top. Secure the folded over top by adhering it down with Dimensionals.
Punch out several balloons and leaves. Trim the ends of the balloons to create the egg shapes.
Mask “greetings” on the stamp by covering it with masking tape or washi tape. Ink it up. Then remove the tape and stamp it down. After stamping the sentiment on the half banner piece, curl the end with a Bone Folder.
Trim off about 1/16″ the sides of six envelopes to open them up. Then trim the printed area down to get photo mats that are 4-1/4″ x 5-3/4″ each.
Attach the 12″ x 11″ Granny Apple Green to the 2″ x 12″ Whisper White to create a full 12″ x 12″ page showing a 1″ strip of white on the right side. Then attach the diagonal striped strips just inside the green edge along the right side. (Lay both strips side by side and add the SNAIL to the back of them at once.) Where the strips meet up add a bow popped up on a Dimensional.
Lay out all the pieces as shown, and start assembling.
For the left page, I recommend adding the photo mats and the basket of eggs first. The 3 closest eggs and the basket are popped up on Dimensionals. The two in the back are adhered with SNAIL. Remember to add the bow (also on a Dimensional), the leaves, and the blue half banner.
Then add the numbers with Dimensionals, the four eggs and leaves in the bottom corner (the two middle are with Dimensionals), and the stamped grass images.
For the right page, I recommend adding the photo mats with tucked in leaves first, then stamping the grass images, and then adding the eggs. The yellow egg is added with a Dimensional. The blue egg is tucked under the green cardstock and attached with SNAIL.
Adhere a few pearls to finish the pages off. And be ready to get some great photos this Easter!

CLING STAMPS ARE HERE!
Cling stamps just debuted in the 2019 Occasions catalog and Sale-A-Bration brochure! Click HERE for more information.
I loved the branch elements in the November 2018 To You and YoursPaper Pumpkin kit. As you can see in the kit photo below, they were meant to be used with the green side up.
But if flipped over, the branches become snow-covered white ones! And in clusters they remind me of the limbs of the trees that are up north at the cabin (my parents home).
It’s so beautiful there in the summer, but it’s also stunning in the winter. It’s my heaven on earth any time of the year. So I’ll be eventually adding photos of my family at the cabin on this layout.
I was just there this past weekend with my parents and my friend (and achieving team member), Cheryl Lee. (I’ll share more about our Silver Elite Retreat weekend soon once my photos are ready!)
Here are a few tips and measurements for my pages if you wish to recreate them.
Measurements:
Highland Heather Cardstock: 12″ x 12″
Pear Pizzazz Cardstock: 12″ x 12″
Whisper White Cardstock: 8-1/2″ x 11″ and 1-1/2″ x 11″
Garden Green Cardstock: 8-1/2″ x 11″ and 1-1/2″ x 11″
Gorgeous Grape Cardstock: 8-1/4″ x 10-7/8″
Daffodil Delight Cardstock: 8-1/4″ x 10-7/8″
Early Espresso Cardstock:
four pieces that are 5-1/2″ x 4″
two pieces that are 4-3/4″ x 1-3/8″
two pieces that are 3/4″ x 1-1/4″
four pieces that are 3″ x 3-3/4″
Woodgrain sticker paper from the kit: three pieces that are 3-5/8″ x 1-1/4″ (one of them cut in half)
Tips:
For the ground, I tore the 1-1/2″ x 11″ cardstock strips diagonally in half. I flipped one of the two same colored pieces over and layered them with the flat edges flush to the bottom (and corners flush with the outer bottom corners) of it coordinating 12×12 base page. Then I did the same with the second color and the other 12×12 base page.
For each title piece I stamped the wording onto a woodgrain sticker paper strip, trimmed the outer end with a banner v-shaped cut, and then added the 3/4″ x 1-1/4″ Early Espresso piece underneath that end. I attached the un-cut end of that title piece sticker strip to the 4-3/4″ x 1-3/8″ Early Espresso piece. I then added one of the half sticker strips to the other end of the 4-3/4″ x 1-3/8″ Early Espresso piece being careful to keep the banner cut end from sticking down yet (see image below).
I trimmed the 3/4″ x 1-1/4″ Early Espresso piece to create an 1/8″ border for the banner cut end of the title strip, stuck down a branch piece onto the half sticker strip area, and then attached the banner cut end of the title strip down with a Dimensional.
I sponged on Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the back sides of the bases of the branches and then attached them to the pages by layering them.
I added the sequins with the Glue Dots that came in the kit.

CLING STAMPS ARE COMING!
Cling stamps will debut in the 2019 Occasions catalog and Sale-A-Bration brochure! Click HERE for more information.
I have created scrapbook pages with the contents of every Paper Pumpkin kit since the kits began in March of 2013. Scrapbooking is a HUGE passion of mine! So I created pages once again with the October 2018 Friends of a Feather kit, and I’m excited to share them now! I loved how the laser-cut branch pieces in this kit flipped over looked like they were covered in snow.
And because the stems are so thin, the branch pieces can be manipulated a bit to be either straighter (as in the eyelashes I gave my sweet orange monster that I shared on October 25th) or curvier for when trying to build the perfect wreath.
Want to duplicate these pages? I used five long branch pieces on each page. It doesn’t matter if they are the purple or the orange ones. Either color flipped over will give you white. Here are the measurements and supplies you’ll need.
