I have been a subscriber of Paper Pumpkin since the kits were introduced several years ago. Paper Pumpkin is a little red (most often) box that comes directly to your home every month. As a subscriber you are provided with everything you need to explore your creativity and discover new ways to craft.
Each box comes with a variety of projects (most often cards) and I will make one of each of the projects suggested in the box but I do not always use all of materials. I love to create alternative cards with the remaining kit contents.
I have been spending more time in my Studio crafting due to the corona virus (Yeah!). One of things I have done is to create challenges for myself. Paper Pumpkin Play Date is just that. Each week, I pull out a box and see what is still inside…what will I / shall I make with the contents?

Today’s box was the JULY 2018 – Picnic Paradise kit. A colorful, fresh, bright kit full of summer picnic fruits and baskets.
In yesterday’s paper, all the Wednesday shopping flyers were promoting blueberries. Do you like blueberries? I love them! Most especially in pancakes with Lemon Curd on top.
Anyway, I think this influenced my choice of the blue color and the green accent from the kit when making my two Birthday cards. Blue and white is always a fresh combination reminiscent of those last summer days. The cards are gender neutral but the one with the blueberries is a little more masculine and the one with the mason jar vase is a little more feminine and was made for someone specific in mind. I am very happy with these cards!

As we navigate a “new normal” in today’s world, there’s plenty of opportunity to papercraft! And, more importantly, there’s no better time than now to create something that’ll show the essential people in your life just how awesome you think they are.
Lately, it’s become especially clear who the everyday heroes are—they’ve always surrounded us! Teachers, doctors, hairdressers, nurses, delivery workers, cashiers, and even our friends, kids, and family members go above and beyond to enrich our lives. These people are truly the world’s greatest at what they do! Celebrate and appreciate the everyday heroes in your life with the August Paper Pumpkin Kit. The cards included in this kit are specifically designed for celebrating life’s champions! Watch the promotional video to catch a glimpse of World’s Greatest by Paper Pumpkin.
