Sunshine & Smiles Paper Pumpkin Alternate

In todays post I’m sharing a Sunshine & Smiles Paper Pumpkin alternate with you – a scrapbook layout! I love to use any of our kits (Paper Pumpkin or from our Kit Collection) to scrapbook.

The Sunshine & Smiles Paper Pumpkin kit is the February 2023 kit and includes all the supplies to create 9 cards. Three of each of the three cuties shown below. This kit also coordinates with the Rain or Shine suite from the 2023 January to April Mini Catalogue.

Although the full kit is no longer available, at the time of writing this post, the refill kit is available (161916). It includes all the consumable pieces just no stamp set or ink spot. The cost is $14.50 + shipping & taxes.

If you are new to Stampin’ Up! and wondering what Paper Pumpkin is? It is the BEST crafting subscription kit!

Every month you receive a box full of crafty goodness. It includes everything you need to create whatever that months projects are (except scissors). That means you get an exclusive stamp set, ink, any embellishments and all the pre cut and scored pieces! Most months the projects are cards but occasionally there will be 3D projects or tags.

In March Paper Pumpkin will be celebrating its 10th anniversary and you receive a gift with each kit. The kit is all about happy greetings, organic and botanical designs digitally painted by Stampin’ Up!’s in-house artists, along with all-occasion sentiments to celebrate the happy moments in life and recognize the people around you who help you grow!

And as part of the anniversary celebration, the March Paper Pumpkin Kit will include a FREE GIFT featuring a plant and pot builder to make all your projects plant-astic!

Don’t miss out on next months kit! If you’re in Canada, subscribe here, before the 10th of the month in order to receive the March kit.

The Details…

The inside of the card bases have such a beautiful pattern that I chose to highlight them by die cutting tags using the Something Fancy Dies. It’s a fun way to create a background. You could really use any shape, it wouldn’t have to be tags… circles, squares, hearts, hexagons. It would be cute no matter what the shape!

I love how all the little animals are looking in the direction of the photos with admiration. Now to find photos to pop in here.

I was super excited about this kit because I have been playing with the coordinating Rain or Shine suite products from the mini catalogue for an upcoming virtual class. It was one of the most fun collections to work with and I love all the projects that I ended up creating.

You can find all the details for the class here.
