May 2019 Paper Pumpkin Kit Hugs from Shelli

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you the projects from the May 2019 Paper Pumpkin Kit and give you a little sneak peek of the June 2019 Kit.  The May create was inspired and co designed by Stampin' Up!'s Co-Founder Shelli Gardner.  Shelli has a very classic style to her projects and she loves heat embossing so I was surprised that this kit didn't have a little embossing with it.  But everything else was so Shelli.  This was a super fun kit and was the first kit to be offered in the international market.  Which was very special for everyone.  I shared a few alternative projects for this kit yesterday for the A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop.  I will link that post here.  The blog hop yesterday was so fun and all the projects were wonderful you will differently want to check them out.  Here's a look at the cards from this month's kit as intended.

The May Kit focused on four note cards each with a different design.  You made three of each design.  I used some of mine to create my alternative cards in yesterday's post.  The May kit also came in a special box, which is so pretty.  I can also tell you that the kit coordinates with the Bird Ballard Suite in the upcoming Catalog.  Paper Pumpkin is such a great deal, you get everything in the box that you need for each project.  All the instructions on printed in the flyer on the inside.  You also get a exclusive stamp set, ink spot, and all the components for the cards.  Here's a look at what came in this month's kit.

That's a lot of product for such a small price point.  Starting in June the Price for a monthly kit will be $22.00 per kit with the monthly subscription.  You can also purchase Paper Pumpkin as a gift for someone with one of the Prepaid Subscriptions.  The Prepaid Subscriptions are as followed; 1 month $21.00, 3 months $63.00, 6 months $114.00 (you save $1 per kit), and 12 months $220 (you buy 11 and get the 12th month free with this option) you do have to pay the shipping costs & taxes with the Prepaid Subscriptions up front , where with the monthly subscription you are only paying taxes. 

June Kit Sneak Peek: 

The June kit makes it easy for you to scatter sunshine this summer—whenever, with whomever.  Not only do you get 16 fun-sized, beach-themed cards and envelopes, but you also are provided with an exclusive carrying case so you’ll always have your cards on hand to share wherever you go.  And don’t forget the exclusive stamp set and ink spot that completes every Paper Pumpkin kit!

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop: Hugs From Shelli Kit

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share a few alternative projects using the May 2019 Paper Pumpkin kit Hugs from Shelli.  I am super excited to play with this kit which was designed with Shelli Gardner Stampin' Up!'s Co-Fonder.  This was a super fun kit to play with and I may have been a little over zealous with my alternatives this month.  So let's jump into them right now.

 So for my projects this month I created not one card but five different designs and did two of each design plus created a large gift box that would hold all ten card, envelopes and with a little room for more.  This was super fun today. I kept my cards on the simple side.  I used five pieces of cardstock to create each card plus the note cards that came in this month's kit.  I did throw in a couple scraps of whisper white cardstock to finish off my sentiments.  Here's a look at my cards.

,For two of the card designs I had to cut the note cards in half to have enough to make all 10 cards.  So once I had these all made I needed someplace to put them so I created a large gift box that will hold all 10 cards plus envelopes for each.  This makes for a super quick and easy gift.  Here's my gift box.

I used a couple pieces of cardstock to make the box and a little designer series paper.  The designer Series paper you see comes from the Bird Ballard Designer Series Paper Stack (new in the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog).  From this month's kit I used some of the die cut elements and the Pretty Peacock Velvet ribbon.  This box is super easy to make as you will see in my video tutorial.

Thanks for dropping bye today; I hope that you have enjoyed my alternative projects this month and that you will take the time to hop all the way along the blog hop. We have some special guests with us this month so I know you will want to check them out.  If you are viewing this post on my wordpress site you will need to click here to view the blog roll.

Rick's 2019 - 2020 Annual Catalog NEW Ribbon Share

I have decided to do a ribbon share again this year, and today I am announcing it. Below you will find the details! 

Shares are a great way to get a lot of new products to try in smaller proportions and at a smaller cost.  This is why I do ribbon and paper shares for you.  I like to be able to save you guys as much as possible.  I am not going to lie these are a lot of work, and I usually have to hire a friend or family to help me get them all together with all the cutting and packaging it takes a few days and lots of hours to pull these off for you.  But, its totally worth it to me to help you save a little money on these items. 

Here's what's included in this years ribbon share.

Ribbon Share:
Cost:   $29.00 plus $8.00 shipping
Includes: 

• Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo Pack 
  • 1 yard Mossy Meadow Linen Thread 
  • 1  yard Linen Ribbon
• Mint Macaron 1/4" Textile Ribbon (2 Yards) 
• Very Vanilla 3/8" Scalloped Lace Trim (2 Yards) 
• Petal Pink 5/8" Organdy Stripped Ribbon (2 Yards) 
• Sahara Sand 5/8" Woven Thread Trim (1 Yard) 
• Rococo Rose 1/2" Gathered Ribbon (2 yards) 
• Old Olive/Petal Peacock 3/8" Reversible Ribbon (2 yards)
• Pretty Peacock Scalloped Linen Ribbon (2 Yards)
• Purple Posy  Scalloped Linen Ribbon (2 Yards) 
• Rococo Rose Scalloped Linen Ribbon (2 yards)
• Seaside Spray Scalloped Linen Ribbon (2 Yards)
• Terracotta Tile Scalloped Linen Ribbon (2 Yards) 
• Denim Ribbon 3/8" (2 yards)
• Crinkled Seam Binding 3/8" (2 yards) 
• 3/8" Tricolor Ribbon (2 Yards) 

That's 29 yards of Brand NEW different ribbon to try for only $29.00.  Which is about a fourth of what it would cost to order all the these ribbons at one time. I break my ribbon shares into groups of fives so the first five people that sign up are group one, then the next five will be group two so on and so fourth.  Just to know that I will not order group 1 shares until it is completely full same thing with each group.  Each group has to be full before I will order everything.
Due to Stampin' Up! policy I can not have all the supplies on hand and have to order them once everyone has signed up and paid.  So it usually takes about a week after I order for me to get everything back to me then cut it and repackage it to get it ready to send out to you, sometimes this may take a little longer or less all depending.

Schedule:  Depending on if there are back orders (hopefully not but you never know with how popular our new products have been)

• May 28 - June 3 Sign Up
• June 3 - All invoices must be paid
• June 4- Rick will order all the ribbons for the shares that are full
  • if your share isn't full I will email you with a update
• June 14 - I should receive the order 
• June 15 - 18 I will cut and repackage 
• June 20 - 22 I will start mailing out the ribbon shares
