Before I get into my final sample, I get to report that I was the Awesome Pick for the My Pumpkin Challenge site using last month's Paper Pumpkin kit. I just found it today when I went to post this project for this month's challenge. I'm so excited! You can check out this great site and all it's diverse samples using the current and past kits here:

This week's final Paper Pumpkin project is a décor item since I'm decorating my house today with all my handmade Halloween goodies!
I took two burlap bags and cut them apart with my fabric scissors. I love that these things cut like butter! I cut the pieces along the threads so they could be somewhat straight. I stitched the top using the black thread and then used a glue gun to fold the burlap over so it wouldn't break!
I stamped the Happy Halloween on one of the tags included using the Ink Spot and then cut that into strips. I bent the top and attached to the thread using a glue gun again. The little birds on top are from the sticker sheet in the kit.
I inked up Boo one letter at a time using a post-it to mask the letters off that I didn't need. I punched them out using a 1" Circle punch. I then found my favorite Disney Halloween pictures from the last two years. I printed them as wallets and then cut them down using the layering tag as a template. The third spot is open because this year Callie picked Monster's Inc. for our costumes so I want to have a place for that family photo to go once those costumes are made.... oh yeah... costumes need to go on the to do list! The tags are hot glued on as well.
As a reminder, Paper Pumpkin kits are mailed to your door and provide all the supplies you need to complete adorable projects (excluding scissors and adhesive). You get a photopolymer stamp set, a Stampin' Spot of ink, instructions, and all the supplies needed to make either cards or 3D objects depending on the month. The cost is $19.95 per month and you need to sign up by the 10th of the month to receive that month's kit around the 18th. Kits are designed to take 30 minutes if you follow the instructions in the kit which is great for busy moms and new crafters. Those with more experience can combine kits with other craft supplies and take a little more time to literally think "outside the box." Have more questions - contact me today!
YOU CAN DO THIS TOO!

Perks for signing up under me:
- I have committed to having additional samples created using the kit by the first week of the month. That way those that are cardmakers have options just like those that scrapbook or like decor.
- I will post frequent updates to the Pinterest board I have dedicated to Paper Pumpkin projects - again providing you inspiration to use with your kit if you need something different from the instructions included!
- I will host a Paper Pumpkin party that is free for the recipients of Paper Pumpkin with me. Those crafting friends can come for free and enjoy good company and a pumpkin snack while putting together your kits. These events will usually be the first Wednesday of the month! There will also be a door prize given each month to the attendees and if you want to make any of the samples I show using the kit (that doesn't require hardware like frames), I will provide that for attendees as well.
I don't know what I'm posting next week for my Week Of Series - we will just see what it brings!
