Turn your January 2019 Valentine Paper Pumpkin kit into birthday boxes

Many times I love the projects in the Paper Pumpkin kits, but this month I didn’t need 24 Valentines boxes (as cute as they were). My kids are now in college & high school, and no matter how little I try to keep them, they are pretty close to adulthood. I wanted to share an alternative project idea with you for this Valentine kit, in case you didn’t need 24 treats either. Turn your January 2019 Valentine Paper Pumpkin kit into birthday boxes! Below is the video tutorial, supplies & measurements for the birthday boxes and reasons and links on why you should be a Paper Pumpkin subscriber.

Paper Pumpkin Information

Paper Pumpkin is a monthly paper crafting kit. Everything you need for that month’s project comes right in the box: stamps, ink, adhesive, all paper products and any embellishments, as well as directions. Each month is a completely different theme and project. You are also emailed cute 3 minute videos on that month’s project as well as 2-3 other ideas. All of this for only $20 month! You can subscribe (and pay) monthly (link to sign up HERE). It’s kind of like a magazine subscription except you can place a monthly hold or cancel at any time. You can also pre-pay for a certain amount of months up front (3, 6 or 12 months) instead of paying monthly.

As you receive your kits each month, you will accumulate different ink colors, thus building your ink color collection. No ink color will be repeated in a 12 month period. You will also be accumulating exclusive stamp sets (they will never appear in any Stampin’ Up! catalogs) which can be used over and over. I keep mine in a Stampin’ Up! Memories & More 6 ” x 8″ Album with photo pocket pages for easy access and visibility. (Click on the highlighted links for more information on those products).

During Sale-a-bration (Jan – March), there is added incentive for you to order a pre-paid Paper Pumpkin Subscription. You can earn free products!

3 month pre-paid subscription is $57 = 1 Sale-a-bration item

6 month pre-paid subscription is $108 = 2 Sale-a-bration items (or 1 level 2 item)

12 month pre-paid subscription is $209 = 4 Sale-a-bration items (or a combination of level 1 & 2 items)**

** Add $41 in products to the 12 month subscription (to total $250) and receive one more Sale-a-bration item PLUS $50 in free products as your Stampin’ Rewards (equal to a $250 party). It’s more up front, but you receive $2 off each PP kit, $50 in free products and free Sale-a-bration items.
