Greetings my stamping friends. Just a reminder that the last day to subscribe to receive this month’s (November) Paper Pumpkin kit is November 10. This month’s kit will provide you with supplies to create gift tags and small gift boxes that are perfectly sized for gift cards or small treats. If you are already a subscriber, make sure that your credit card information and mailing address are current to avoid delays or errors in processing your subscription.

If you are a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, do you have a hoarding problem like I do? During my craft room organization process I have discovered that I have been guilty of stacking my kits to the side and forgetting about them. Since I have been a subscriber since the very beginning, this means I have A LOT of kits that I have not completed. It just boggles the mind.
As I was taking the kits out of boxes and transferring them to Avery Elle envelopes, I constantly found myself admiring how beautiful many of the kits are and wanted to stop right then to work on them. But I pressed on. I have processed years 2021-2025 (to date) and finally took a break today and am working on the October 2022 Ho Ho Ho Kit.
I still have a lot left to organize and transfer, but I can fit an entire year in one acrylic bin so removing the kits from the boxes is freeing up a lot of space for more things I NEED.
Here is the system that I am trying out for my Paper Pumpkin storage:
I purchased both items through Amazon. The Avery Elle clear folders are the “Extra Large Stamp & Die Storage 6-3/4″ x 9-3/8″ Pockets – 50 Pack”. They include a flap at the top which I found to be a pain so I cut them off with my trimmer at the fold line. The Acrylic Bins are the “ClearSpace Storage Bins 11″ x 8″ x 6″ 4 Pack”.
I typically buy two of each month’s kit and unless they have something extra like a stocking (around the holidays), I do not have any problem fitting two months in one pocket.
If you have any question regarding Paper Pumpkin, on how to subscribe, or even on my new storage solution, please contact me. I am here to help you maximize your crafting experience.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you leave here inspired to put stamps to ink to paper. And if you have a stack of Paper Pumpkin kits like I do, perhaps pull out a few and have some fun creating for a while. Until next time, stamp on my friends.
Linda
