Share Sunshine: June Paper Pumpkin

I am lovin' the June Paper Pumpkin! It is all about sharing sunshine to brighten someone's day. It's so bright and cheery and the stamps that are included with this month's kit are awesome!

If you're already familiar with Paper Pumpkin, be sure to check out more photos of the Paper Pumpkin alternatives at the end. 

Paper Pumpkin is a monthly subscription kit offered by Stampin' Up! Each month, you receive a box in the mail that includes an exclusive stamp set, an ink spot, and all of the paper, adhesive, and accessories to make that month's projects.

Often the projects are cards, like this month, but sometimes the projects are small gifts, tags, boxes, or some other paper craft. Stampin' Up! announces the general theme and the nature of the project ahead of time so that you can choose to put a hold on your subscription for a month if it doesn't sound like something that would appeal to you. 

Paper Pumpkin is great for beginners, but it's not just for beginners! Because your Paper Pumpkin box has absolutely everything in it that you need to make the projects, it's perfect for people who have never stamped but want to give it a try. But, Paper Pumpkin is also great for more experienced stampers. If you like to make cards based on a pre-set design - Paper Pumpkin is perfect for that!

If you like to imagine and create your own card designs, Paper Pumpkin is perfect for that too! Nobody says you have to use the supplies in the box to create the suggested projects. You can combine those supplies with items from your own stash to create even more amazing projects! 

Here are the cards as they were designed to be put together:

And here are all the other cards (and scrapbook page) that I created:

And, there are still lots of pieces left in my Paper Pumpkin box!
