I am currently a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. I am also Retired Dental Hygienist who loves to craft. I was an Independant Close To My Heart Maker until they closed in May 2024 and love to create scrapbook layouts and cards.
With the move of Paper Pumpkin from paperpumpkin.com to stampinup.com, I missed posting the April Paper Pumpkin kit. I should be receiving mine in the next couple of days. The watercolor alcohol ink designs look gorgeous. This kit makes 9 cards, 3 each of 3 designs and includes textured gold foil on the card bases and sentiments.I don’t know if there will be kits or refills left but you can always check on my website after April 20 to see. I will be posting the May Paper Pumpkin soon.
There is always a add-on die that can be purchased separately. This is the die for April, May and June and is called Hugs Abloom. You must be a Paper Pumpkin Subscriber to purchase the add on die.
