Crafting with Charm: A Closer Look at the June Paper Pumpkin Kit

The June Paper Pumpkin Kit from Stampin’ Up! truly lives up to its name—Full of Charm. This month’s kit is a beautiful blend of soft watercolor florals and delicate gold accents that give each card a warm, elegant feel. It includes everything you need to create nine full-sized cards—three each of three unique designs pictured below—all beautifully coordinated with matching envelopes. The card bases feature watercolor-style prints in cozy tones like Berry Burst, Timid Tiger, Night of Navy, and Pretty Peacock. They’re layered with precut die-cut pieces, sequin embellishments, and sweet little details that make each one feel extra special.

What I love most about this kit is how effortlessly everything comes together. Each card design has a thoughtfully layered look that feels handmade and heartfelt without being overly complicated. Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or just getting started, these projects offer a satisfying creative experience that results in cards you’ll be proud to send. Be sure to check out my tutorial video below to see how quick and easily the kit cards come together step by step.

Full of Charm Card Variations

In addition to the three original card designs, I created a few variations using the Full of Charm Paper Pumpkin kit and the Charming Day Bundle and the coordinating Floral Charm Designer Series Paper. The soft colors and classic motifs in the DSP were designed to pair perfectly with the Paper Pumpkin kit pieces, offering even more creative possibilities, whether you want to add extra layers, change up the sentiments, or completely reimagine the layout. I had so much fun stretching the supplies and ended up creating several bonus cards and even a scrapbook page that carry the same sweet, heartfelt vibe—just with a personal twist.

Tutorial: This elegant floral card starts with a white card base and a piece of the Floral Charm DSP. I layered a scalloped contour label stamped with “Let’s Celebrate You,” with dimensionals then added watercolor-style florals that were fussy cut from one of the card fronts from the Full of Charm Paper Pumpkin Kit. A few gold sequin embellishments add the perfect touch of sparkle.

Tutorial: This bold and elegant card starts with a white card base layered with a piece of white cardstock embossed with the Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder for added texture. A strip of Night of Navy cardstock anchors the design, and the sentiment “Let’s Celebrate You” is stamped on a circle label from the Full of Charm Paper Pumpkin kit. The floral elements are a mix of die-cut pieces from the Charming Day bundle and die cuts from the Full of Charm kit, arranged around the sentiment. A few gold sequins add just the right amount of sparkle.

Tutorial: This soft and cheerful thank-you card starts with a gold-textured base from the Full of Charm Paper Pumpkin kit. I added two contoured scalloped rectangles—one in Berry Burst and one in the same gold-textured cardstock as the base—then centered the bottom piece of the lovely floral die cut from the kit. The “Thank You” sentiment is heat-embossed in white on a strip of Berry Burst, and I finished the design with a few gold sequins for a touch of sparkle.

Inspiration: Laura Seki

Tutorial: This striking floral card starts with a white card base layered with a gold-accented card front from the Full of Charm Paper Pumpkin kit and a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock. The intricate floral overlay, also from the Full of Charm kit, adds bold texture and depth. I backed the largest flower with Pretty Peacock cardstock embossed with the Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder to make it stand out. The “Let’s Celebrate You” sentiment is stamped, fussy cut, and popped up with dimensionals. A few scattered sequins add the final touch of sparkle!

Tutorial: This cheerful thank-you card starts with a white card base layered with Night of Navy cardstock and a gold textured background from the Full of Charm Paper Pumpkin kit. The sentiment “Thanks for Being You” from the Charming Day bundle is stamped on a white circle and framed with a Night of Navy die-cut using the amazing Spotlight on Nature Dies. I arranged the floral and leaf die cuts from the Paper Pumpkin kit around the sentiment and added a few gold sequins for just the right touch of shine.

Tutorial: This sweet and elegant card starts with a white card base layered with Berry Burst cardstock and a gold-textured card front from the Full of Charm Paper Pumpkin kit. I used a scalloped contour die to create a framed window effect, letting the bold background color shine through. The top piece of the floral die cut from the Full of Charm kit adds a beautiful pop of pink and green. I stamped the sentiment “To a Wonderful Friend” in Berry Burst and die-cut it with a banner die from the Stylish Shapes Dies. A few gold sequins scattered across the card add just the right touch of sparkle.

Tutorial: This simple yet stunning Z-fold card starts with a white card base, scored and folded to create a fun interactive layout. I decorated the front flap with a tall floral die cut from the Full of Charm Paper Pumpkin kit, letting the blooms extend beautifully over the edge. Inside, the sentiment “Let’s Celebrate You” is stamped in black, surrounded by stamped greenery for a soft, elegant touch. Tiny Brushed Brass Butterflies Embellishments adds a sweet finishing detail.

Tutorial: For this bright and playful card, I used the stamps from the Full of Charm Paper Pumpkin kit to create my own custom designer paper. I stamped floral and leaf images in Berry Burst, Pretty Peacock, and Old Olive, then added a few ink splatters and ink blending for extra texture. The stamped panel is layered on Berry Burst cardstock, and I wrapped it with Linen Thread for a bit of natural texture. The “Let’s Celebrate You” sentiment is stamped and layered on a coordinating circle, then popped up with dimensionals. A few gold sequins finish it off with a cheerful sparkle!

Full of Charm Scrapbook Page

Tutorial: This floral scrapbook page features layered strips of the Floral Charm Designer Series Paper for a soft, elegant backdrop. I started with a Smoky Slate 12″ x 12″ base and built horizontal bands of patterned paper across the page. At the top, I created a floral cluster using fussy-cut blooms and the die-cut overlay from the Full of Charm Paper Pumpkin kit, accented with die-cut leaves from the Charming Day bundle. Two photo mats anchor the layout, and I added a smaller floral cluster in the bottom right corner to draw the eye through the design.
