Do you love surprises? If you do, I don’t want to ruin the surprise for you! If you are a Paper Pumpkin subscriber and haven’t received your January box yet, stop right here and DO NOT watch this video!! (But do come back after you’ve opened up your kit so you can see what I’ve done with mine.)
If you have no idea what Paper Pumpkin is and you want to take a peek inside my crafty orange box, watch the video below! I’ll show what crafty things came in my January 2016 Paper Pumpkin kit from Stampin’ Up! AND I’ll show you what you can make with those crafty things!
Paper Pumpkin is a monthly craft kit from Stampin’ Up! Each monthly box includes everything you need to complete the project inside. You can follow the included directions or you can go renegade and make other things. The January kit theme was Valentines, so even if you didn’t get it you’ll want to watch this video for some Valentine craft ideas and some stamping tips!
Fun Paper Pumpkin Facts:

Loved this. I’m not a banner person and had thought I’d invite 2 kids over to make the banner for their house. She’s very into art and she LOVED the card in a box I made her for her 16th birthday. Now maybe I’ll have to rethink it, or at least look at some of the other of my PPs to think outside the box.
How I wish SU had realized what a treasure the 2016 calendar was and offered the kit in time for Christmas presents! I made 3 and they received rave notices – just the right size for my desk – so pretty – Love the idea – the stand makes it perfect . . . .
I was reluctant to reorder PP, as there were several that didn’t “speak” to me at all, but I’ve been very happy with them lately. In my usual style, I evidently ordered twice, so I have another whole year coming to me! DUH!
