I do love Paper Pumpkin! I have loved it since it first came out and have been subscribing for three years-- even when I didn't love some months in the beginning I have stuck with it because I believe in Stampin' Up! and their products-- I knew it would improve and it really has!
Each month you get the stamps, ink, and paper goods needed to make the projects-- usually 8 to 9 cards but sometimes home decor, goodie bags, etc! What I do a few things for my Paper Pumpkin subscribers:
-private Facebook group
-Pinterest board just for Paper Pumpkin
-add-on project every month
-first month of subscribing they get a special box to store stamps and four finished cards
Below is a picture of the craziness of prepping this month's add-on project!

Do remember that cute little bag from my blog hop last month? I wanted to replicate that cute little bag for my customers so here it is!!!!
This little bag is EASY!
Step 1: Take a 6 inch by 4 inch piece of paper and score on the short side at 1 inch. On the long side score at 1 3/4 inch, 2 3/4 inch, 4 1/2 inch, and 5 1/2 inches.
Step 2: Layout the piece like below. Cut the smallest portion out of the lower left hand side.
Step 3: Cut slits up to the 1 inch fold line for the other three folds. Cut away on each side of a slit to make the bag go together easier.
Step 4: Tape runner the smallest edge on the left and fold it together left to right.
Step 5: Tape runner one bottom large flap on the opposite side and fold the bottom up.
Step 6: Squish the sides of the box to make a bag, attach tag, & punch through for ribbon.

Now, for this cute bag you need to have a small set of stacked letters. Many of the stamps in this set come in a long line-- but you can just use a pair of sharp scissors to cut between the words and then stack them yourself!
Would you like to see what I made from this month's Paper Pumpkin? I added some gorgeous flowers that will make one special lady so happy- this card matches the theme she selected for her baby girl's nursery!
