My Paper Pumpkin – February 2016 Review and Giveaway
Ever since I was a child I have been hearing the nickname “sunshine” – my father would use it for dinner reservations. The reason that this became my fathers trademark name is that my maiden name is close to the “sunshine” nickname.
There is something really happy and positive about days the sunshine is out The way that the light dances around objects, and illuminates the otherwise dark area, Being able to use this nickname gives me a sense of happiness, and positivity.
As sure as the sun will rise tomorrow, this months My Paper Pumpkin kit is full of sunshine and positive greetings. Each month Stampin Up projects are date and time appropriate and February was no different with the name of “Hello Sunshine”.
The kit this month is an complete kit to make a a set of 3 different cards that can be used for almost any occasion or day.
Each month I look forward to the 10 by 6.5 red box that contains a new kit 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:
- Hello Sunshine Photopolymer Stamp Set

This months stamp choice is more general themed and appropriate for any person from a loved one to a friend in need. The flexibility and versatility with these 13 clear polymer stamps that are included makes this kit versatile for any occasion – happy, sad or monumental.
Included was a stamp pad in Blackberry Bliss – this a purple color that coordinates well with the paper included and is sharp and bright for the stamps to stand out.
