If you love quick, coordinated crafting as much as I do, Stampin’ Up!’s Paper Pumpkin kits are always a treat. This week, I’m featuring the January Paper Pumpkin Special Delivery kit, and it’s such a sweet one! This kit features heartfelt cards with a charming postage-stamp theme that works beautifully for both love and friendship cards. The designs feel playful and cheerful, with sweet sentiments that make the cards easy to personalize.

The kit creates nine cards (three each of three designs) and includes three coordinating envelope designs. The precut paper pieces, some with gold foil accents, add just the right touch of elegance without any extra effort, and the Poppy Parade Classic Stampin’ Spot makes the kit truly all-in-one crafting. Everything arrives in an adorable coordinating keepsake box, perfect for storing leftover pieces or finished cards.

I made one of each of the kit cards as designed and then used the remaining kit materials along with the Beautiful Blooms Dies add-on to create several variations and even a scrapbook page. I love stretching my kits this way and getting even more creative bang for my buck.

The add-on dies are such a fun way to make the most of your Paper Pumpkin kits. The Beautiful Blooms Dies includes four dies that quickly and cleanly cut out a tulip, a postage stamp shape, and the word “Beautiful,” making it easy to elevate your crafting to the next level. These dies coordinate with three Paper Pumpkin kits: Special Delivery, Celebrate Spring, and Fluttering Garden. Plus, pair them with other Stampin’ Up! products for even more ways to customize your projects.

If you love easy, coordinated crafting delivered right to your door, Paper Pumpkin is such a fun way to stay creative all year long. Each month brings a new surprise with everything you need to make beautiful projects without the prep work. If you’re not already subscribed, I’d love for you to join my Paper Pumpkin community and craft along with me.
