Who collects the mail at your house?

I’ve always been the person who anticipates the post the most – I don’t think my husband even knows where the key to our cluster box is – so it’s always a happy day when I gather in my Paper Pumpkin monthly craft box from the mailbox! Here’s the unboxing of this month’s kit:

Because we were traveling, my October 2026 Noel Greetings kit sat lonely on my craft table for a few weeks until I could begin some alternate ideas to share with my subscribers: It helps them to keep stamping with the stamps and ink spot included each month, long after the kit has been assembled!

I start with something that can be made simply with stamps, ink and paper. For this Noel card, I ripped the corner and stamped the edges, then added a layer of the gold branch pattern of Designer Series Paper (Neutral Noel) behind the front flap. The holly was stamped and fussy cut to pop up on top.

Next, I use the Add-On dies. Did you know that Stampin’ Up!®️ offers a small set of dies that coordinates with the kits for each calendar quarter? For this card, I used the tag die, and if you place the piece marked as a tree trunk at the top of the arch on the tag, it makes a slit for the ribbon:

The October kit coordinates with the Neutral Noel Suite Collection, so I used the Designer Series Paper on these projects, and this is a variation of one I shared with my subscribers too:

That card and the next also use the Scalloped Christmas Cheer dies, which are fabulous for creating a pretty frame or bubbly border!

Are you catching the vision for the variations you can create from your Paper Pumpkin Kit supplies? It’s like TWO BOXES OF CREATIVITY IN ONE:

1. The projects you make from your kit
2. The projects you make from the stamps and ink from the kit later!

If you haven’t tried an all-inclusive monthly craft kit (or are ready to subscribe again), I guarantee you’ll love pulling this box from your mailbox. Make it twice as fun when you invite a friend over to make it together!

While part of the surprise is that you don’t see EVERYTHING in the kit before it arrives, you can get a peek at the next two kits (November & December, above), and when you subscribe with me as your demonstrator, you’ll be added to my Pumpkin Patch exclusive email list, where I share more ideas, and occasionally you’ll get an envelope in the mail filled with a bonus project!

A 3- 6- or 12-Month Pre-Paid Paper Pumpkin Subscription makes a sensational gift for any crafter!

Only subscribers can get the REFILL for the Noel Greetings kit (which doesn’t include the stamp set or Mossy Meadow Premium Ink Spot that came in the full kit), and these are the other supplies used for these cards:
