Stampin’ Up has just announced a fun new monthly kit called Paper Pumpkin! Here are all of the details:

I’m Paper Pumpkin . . .

I come to your door each month (a fully decked-out creativity carriage). I’ll help you to escape your life with some paper fun.

I come in a sweet box, but you’ll really love what you find on the inside:

All the stamps, ink, paper, and accessories to create pinable projects. Create stuff like cards, journals, décor, and more!

Paper Pumpkin by Stampin’ Up! is a new monthly kit program that anyone (even you) can enjoy!

Get Started

It’s so easy to get started. Simply sign up for the program starting Monday, January 14 by visiting www.mypaperpumpkin.com and click Get it. (Please choose Yapha Mason as your demonstrator) Every month a new, surprise project kit arrives at your doorstep. Just think of the anticipation of creating a fun project to pin, showoff, and share with your friends and family-every month!

Of course, you’ll want to know more. So here’s the nitty gritty:

• Each month we send you a unique, surprise kit with a project-cards, journals, décor, and more! (We’ve even color-coordinated, measured, and cut everything for you!)
• Each kit includes stamps, ink, paper, and accessories-everything but adhesive.
• Each kit gives you  a 30-minute creativity escape.
• We will ship your Paper Pumpkin on or around the 15th of the month.
• You need to sign up for a kit by the 10th of the month to get that month’s kit. If you sign up on the 11th of the month, your first kit will come the next month. (Let’s say you sign up on May 10th, we’ll send your kit around May 15th. If you sign up on May 11th, we’ll send your first kit around June 15th.)
• A Paper Pumpkin membership is $19.95 per month (and shipping is included!).
• There’s no commitment, you can cancel your monthly Paper Pumpkin at anytime. You can also skip a month if you want.
• Starting in early March, we’ll offer a Try-It kit if you’d like to try Paper Pumpkin for one month.

Here’s How You Order

Sign up for your monthly Paper Pumpkin starting Monday, January 14 by visiting www.mypaperpumpkin.com and click Get it. When asked for a demonstrator, please choose me, Yapha Mason in California. (Not that there are any other Yapha Masons, but you can never be too careful…)

Please let me know if you have any questions about this great new product from Stampin’ Up!

Thank you so much to those of you who purchased my first Stamp Set of the Month Kit! Your stamps are on their way to me, and then I will be packaging them up with the card kits and sending them out to you! The June Stamp set of the Month kit will be featuring a set from the new catalog, and will be posted the first week of June. Keep on eye out — I’ll post it here first!

I am so excited to be offering a new stamping option! Each month I will be choosing one stamp set, and offering that for sale with a pre-cut kit to make 6 cards with it (2 each of 3 designs). The kit includes all of the card stock and accessories as well as color pictures of the finished cards — you just need the ink!  You can choose whether you want the stamp set in wood mount or clear mount, or, if you already own it, no stamps at all. If the stamp set is available in another language, you can choose that as well. (Sorry, no substitutions for a different stamp set.) Purchase the Kit by the 20th of each month, and you will receive it by the end of the month. All taxes and shipping are included in the price.

The May Stamp Set of the Month is the super cute truck set, I Dig You.

Each kit contains the supplies to create two each of the following three cards. Everything is pre-cut, and anything that needs to be punched or embossed has already been done. You do need the ink, so contact me if you would like to order that as well.
