I’m excited to share my latest project on the blog! 💌✨

Spring Elegance – Handmade Hummingbird Card and Gift Box Duo features a soft, elegant design inspired by the March 2026 Paper Pumpkin kit for the ATTP hop. This coordinated set is perfect for gifting—whether it’s a special occasion or just because. 💕

Paper Pumpkin continues to be my favorite way to unwind after a busy day in the classroom, and this project truly captures that peaceful, creative joy.

Spring crafting inspiration! 🌷
I used elements from the February 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit – Celebrate Spring to create a traditional Sweet Spring Greetings card and a fun 3D Easter basket place card. I love stretching my Paper Pumpkin kits to create alternative projects for the season!

Which project is your favorite — the card or the Easter place setting?

✨ I’m back to blogging after a year away! ✨
Paper Pumpkin is one of my favorite ways to unwind after busy days teaching 2nd grade, and today I’m sharing alternative project ideas using the January 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit, Special Delivery.
These sweet 4" x 4" cards were created using Garden Green and Bubble Bath cardstock, with envelope fronts repurposed as card bases. Postage-style die cuts frame sentiments from the Sweet Bugs stamp set, and Iridescent Foil Gems add just the right amount of sparkle.
Paper Pumpkin makes creativity easy with a complete, coordinated kit delivered each month. You can subscribe month-to-month or choose prepaid options for 3, 6, or 12 months—shipping included.
