My Paper Pumpkin January 2016 Kit Review and Giveaway
I feel as though we are barely out of the holidays, and now we are approaching Valentines Day. I have mixed feelings about Valentine’s Day, and I will explain why. When I was in my early 20’s I worked for my local card shop, which happen to be known for a crown. I would watch as it crept closer and closer to February 14th, the amount of people looking for the perfect sentiment to share the things they were unable to verbally say.
I always wondered why it was only one day in which my loved one could declare my love to me. I a big believer in that love should be shown each and every day. I believe that love should be nurtured, and we always should appreciate the qualities in our loved ones.
As we embark on this day of love, this months My Paper Pumpkin kit is full of hearts and a way to communicate your love. Each month Stampin Up projects are date and time appropriate and January was no different with the name of “Cute Conversation”.
The kit this month is an complete kit to make a garland with pockets, which is versatile for a party of two or a party of 20.
Each month I look forward to the 10 by 6.5 red box. The kit comes complete with the items you need to create the project for the month. Included in this months box was the following:
Included with each box is not only written instructions with full-color photos but there is an instructional video available (Online Instructions) to help you complete the project each month.
This months stamp choice is love themed and appropriate for any loved one from friend to lover. The flexibility and versatility with these 10 polymer stamps that are included makes this kit versatile birthday cards, scrapbooks or a simple love note.
Included was a stamp pad in Watermelon– this a red color that coordinates well with the paper included and is sharp and bright for the words to stand out. Included in the box was also paper in an assortment of stripe patterns. Also included is thread and sequin which adds a cute accent to each heart on the garland.

I have been a crafter for years, but was never a stamper until a couple of years ago. It was my 35th birthday and I could not find invitations that fit what I wanted in the invitations. I began to rifle through my limited craft collection, since most was in storage at that time, and hatched a plan. I went to the craft store with a concept in my head, a budget on my wallet and a deadline on the date, as it quickly approaching. After an exhaustive search I decided to embark on a craft medium that I had never tried before – Stamping.
