Paper Pumpkin May 2016 Kit Review

Paper Pumpkin – May 2016 Review and Giveaway

June has always been a special month to me for 2 reasons. The first being it was traditionally when my summer would begin and my birthday is approaching (July). The second reason is that it is the month in which I get to celebrate my father.

I am appreciative of my father for many reasons, least of which is that from 5 years old he raised me. I learned to drive from my father, I celebrate my accomplishments and my biggest heart-breaks. Jason and I appreciate my father, and we try to show our appreciation each day.

My entire life I have made cards and plaques for Father’s Day. This year this task has been made much easier due to receiving the May 2016 Paper Pumpkin kit “Many Manly Occasions”.

This month is a complete kit to make a versatile Many Manly Occasions.

Each month I look forward to the 10 by 6.5 red box, and this month was no different. Each month the kit comes complete with the items you need to create the project for the month. Included in this months box was the following:

• Many Manly Occasions Photopolymer Stamp Set
•  Night of Navy Craft Stamping Spot Ink
• 8 Laser Cut Cards – 2 Styles
• 8 Envelopes
• 8 Corrugated Cardstock Pieces
• 2 sheets of die-cut stickers
• 1 sheet of epoxy star stickers
• 100 Adhesive Dots

Included with each box are written instructions with full-color photos but also there is an instructional video available (Online Instructions) to help you complete the project each month.

This months stamp included stamps that are geared towards the men in your life. The set includes titles of people as well as greetings and images. These 20 clear polymer stamps are really versatile for any male relationship you may have. Included was a stamp pad in Night of Navy which is a dark blue that stamps perfectly on the enclosed cards.

The basic idea behind this months kit is that with it, you can create various themes of greeting cards geared toward the men in your life. The kit starts with note cards that are cut out with a clean laser cut. Also included were two different styles of “Happy” stickers that are able to be adhered on the front.

Included are pre-cut/sized corrugated orange paper that is easily mounted on the front inside of the cards. The enclosed stamp allows for personalization of recipient. I made some for birthday and a couple for father’s day.

I was really pleased with how these turned out, and used the stamps a second time to create some personalization on the envelopes.

This is a great kit that does not overdo it with testosterone, but gives a nice classic neutral feeling. If you want a nice kit that is perfect for any man this is the prefect kit for you.

Paper Pumpkin by Stampin’ Up boxes are available for $19.95/month, $59.85/3 months, $113.70/6 months and $215.40/12 months and the shipping is included in the cost. The 6-month is a total savings of about $6, about a $1 a month savings and the 12-month is total savings of about $24, about a $2 a month savings thus ends up totaling the amount of receiving one kit free.
