Today, I’m showcasing the February Sunshine & Smiles Paper Pumpkin Kit. I followed the same design as instructed in the Kit, but created shaker cards for each of the three card designs.
Paper Pumpkin is a monthly subscription Kit that contains all the suppies you need to create cards, packaging, 3-D projects, tags and more. What’s in the Kit is a suerprise but you will get a clue of what to expect.
This month, the Kit is adorable. It coordinates with the Rain Or Shine Suite in the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog, shown on pages 50 and 51.
If you haven’t subscribed to Paper Pumpkin, you can get all the “how to” information by clicking here.
The card above is a quick and easy put-together. A few layering cuts to the original card in the Kit, the addition of a Acetatate Window Sheet layer, some sparkling jewels, and a card base finish this card nicely. The sun, clouds, flowers, sun, animals, and sentiment layer are all in the Paper Pumpkin Kit. Just attach them to your card front.
The third card from the Kit is as simple as the card above. The card above has an oval top layer and the card below is a rectanble. All of the card front elements are from the Paper Pumpkin Kit.
As always, you can create similar cards to these with supplies you already have. It’s fun to have your Paper Pumpkin Subscription in place. When that little box arrives at your home, it’s exciting to open, line up the supplies, grab your adhesive and start creating. As you know, when you start, your creative inspiration will kick into high gear. You’ll be amazed at what you can create! Paper Pumpkin is great for card making beginners. You have everything you need, inclusing detailed instructions.
If you think it’s the time to subscribe to the monthly kit, you can get this kit refill by clicking here. The Refill includes everything except the stamp set and ink spot. You can cancel your subscription at any time.
Here’s The Quick “How-To”
If you’ve never made a shaker card, give it a try. It’s easier than you might think.
For each of the cardss above, I cut a cardstock card base 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and scored it at 4 1/4″. (I used Balmy Blue, Blushing Bride, and Mango Melody cardstock for these cards).
I cut the front panel of the Paper Pumpkin cards to 5 1/4″ x 4″.
Rather than cutting 1/4″ from the top and side, I cut 1/8″ off each side (the original card front is 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″). By cutting an eigth of an inch from each side, the oval, rectangle and Diorama shapes are centered on the card front.
I attached a Window Sheet to the back of the card front frame. The window sheet measures 3 3/4″ x 5″.
I added Foam Strips to the perimeter of the frame opening (on the back), keeping the strips as close to the window opening as possible, but making sure not to go over the edge of the inside of the frame.
I also added Foam Strips around the outside of the back of the frams.
The coordinating printed layers (raindrops, rainbow, and flower meadow scenes) are attached to the center of the card base front.
Sprinkle some “For Everything Fancy Sequins” on the center of the card front. (You don’t need a lot, just a sprinkle).
Remove the backing from your foam strips on the Window Sheet layer, and attaach it to the card front over the sequins.
Attach the elements and sentiment strip to the card front.
Give your finished card a little “shake”.
So, sign up for Paper Pumpkin and pick up the refill kit for “Sunshine & Smiles”, and create a few fun shaker cards to share.
From now through February 28th, with a product purchase of $50.00 (before shipping and tax), you will receive a FREE Mini Card Kit along with a Video Tutorial link and Project Sheet to help you assemble the cards.

I hope you all had an enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday. We enjoyed the day and now we’re in full Christmas mode. The way time has been moving for me, Christmas will be here before I blink. I do enjoy the hustle and bustle of the holiday season.
With that being said, I spent time in my caaft room this past weekend putting together my Paper Pumpkin kits. The November Kit is a tag kit that coordinates with the October card kit. I put together a few tags and decided to use some of the kit elements to make cards.
Paper Pumpkin is Stampin’ Up!’s monthly themed kit that includes supplies to create easy projects. These kits are great for both beginners and seasoned stampers.
All of the pieces and parts for today’s cards are from the tag kit. I added Crumb Cake cardstock, black and white gingham ribbon, and a few embellishments to complete the cards. From the one kit, I was able to get several tags and cards finished quickly and easily.
The Decenber Paper Pumpkin Kit, Good Things Come In Small Packages, features quick and easy gift card boxes. Add ribbon, a quick tag, a favorite gift card, and you’re ready to gift for any occasion. Paper Pumpkin is a great gift for the paper crafters on your holiday gift giving list.
This kit includes:
Good Things Come in Small Packages Photopolymer Stamp Set
Garden Green Classic Stampin’ Spot
16 gift card holders: 2 each of 8 reversible designs
Precut paper pieces, twine, and belly bands to customize all your crafts.
Enough adhesive for each project!
Finished box size: 3-5/8″ x 2-1/2″ x 1/2″ (9.2 x 6.4 x 1.3 cm)
