Paper Pumpkin is Stampin' Up's monthly subscription box. February's "Sunshine & Smiles” kit contained supplies for 9 cards--3 each of 3 different designs. Kits always include an exclusive stamp set, a mini ink cube, embellishments, and adhesives.
The intended projects are always fun, but I love to find different ways to use the kits and show their versatility. This time, I added the coordinating Rain or Shine suite.
This is a playset that folds down flat and pops up, ready for all kinds of adventures! You can add props and even change the backdrop! The cute animals in the kit and in the Rain or Shine suite are perfect for pretend play.
Take a look if you'd like to make one:
