January 2026 Paper Pumpkin: Special Delivery

 

          January is a terrific month to start a new Paper Pumpkin subscription!  What could be better than getting a paper crafting kit delivered to your home each month with everything included except glue?  It's like a gift you give yourself----or gift to another person!    Most kits make 9 cards, sometimes 3 each of 3 designs, but occasionally the kit has 3D table favors or gift tags.  The kits are neatly packed in a box and are very portable if you like to have something to do while traveling or visiting.  Paper Pumpkin are available for a single month, or in 3-month, 6-month, or 12-month pre-paid subscriptions.  January's kit, Special Delivery, is orderable until January 10 and arrives about a week later.

My Seasonal Jar Cards

            I made these sweet cards using the Seasonal Jar stamp set and coordinating punch.  Last month I made Christmas cards using this set, but wanted to show you that this stamp & punch set is so versatile that you can make cards for all year long---so a great investment for your crafting supply collection!
