Card Making 101, Class 5
This video class is going to be a little different than the others because there’s not much I have to teach Jesi. So we’re going to take some time and make a card kit so you can see how easy and amazing they are while I share all the benefits of creating card kits! We hope that if you’re also new to making cards you’ll find this class helpful and begin to feel confident in making cards while using kits.
There’s a lot more information shared in the video class than what’s written below. So make sure to give it a watch to learn everything you need to know about kits for card making!

Paper Pumpkin Subscription Box: A New Monthly Card Kit

Paper Pumpkin is a monthly subscription service by Stampin’ Up! that provides all-inclusive crafting kits for making cards, gift packaging, or even some fun other suprises. Each box is carefully curated to include all the same supplies as the standard card kits.
Paper Pumpkin is designed to make crafting simple and stress-free. The step-by-step instructions are beginner-friendly, and the pre-cut pieces take away the guesswork, allowing you to focus on the fun of putting your cards together. It is also an affordable way to get started with card making. For a low monthly subscription fee, you receive high quality supplies and a creative experience delivered to your door – no extra shopping required.
Why chose Paper Pumpkin over standard card kits? The main difference comes down to the shopping experience. If you’re looking to make cards for a specific occasion, I would recommend shopping the kits collection to pick the project you want to make. If you enjoy a fun surprise in the mail, or feel overwhelemed by trying to select the perfect project, let this fun subscribtion box send you a unique project to make.
