 Want to know a great way to step up your Paper Pumpkin kit? Or maybe you want to extend your kit, by using parts or stamps from the kit to make more cards.  A great way is to purchase the add-ons.  These come out every three month, and you don't need a Paper Pumpkin subscription to purchase them, just add them to your regular Stampin' Up!© order.   The add-on's coordinate with three consecutive Paper Pumpkin kits i.e.: January, February & March. They are "while supplies last".    Check out this video on how to purchase yours: Make sure to subscribe to get all my updates.  Follow me on Facebook at Cottage Lane Stamper & Friends.  If you don't have a Stampin' Up!© demonstrator and you live in the US I'd love to be yours.   I'd love to hear from you.   Thank you for stopping by!

I also added some gems, that were clear and colored th...

How do you store your stamps and left over bits from your Paper Pumpkin kits?  Some people keep them in the original box. But if you don't have enough space to store the boxes, this method might work for you.  I store mine in the DVD style storage cases that are available in our online store. They are just like the cases that our stamps come in.  I'll walk you through the steps in this video: This is what the cases look like and you get 4 in a package when you order one unit. Product detail, Item #119105 Need more storage for your clear-mount, cling, and photopolymer stamps? These cases are sized to fit in most existing shelves. * 4 cases * 7-1/2” x 5-1/4” x 5/8” (19 x 13.3 x 1.6 cm) Check out my other videos on YouTube.   If you don't have a demonstrator I would be honored to be selected by you.  I also show you how to select a demonstrator, if you don't have one. Thank you taking the time to spend with me! Images: Stampin' Up!© 1990 - Current
