#1. Receive a fun color packet every single month.
#2. Economically purchase all the components from the In Color Collection

Now... you have two pricing choices.  Decide between the $24 Club or the $29 Club and which one fits your needs.  Both options are a 5 month commitment (because there are 5 In Colors).

May - My Paper Pumpkin

There is nothing quite as 'happy' as opening your mailbox to find a super sassy bright red box waiting for you!  I can feel my adrenaline kicking in and I can't wait to get in the house to open my kit!  but then... I wonder if I should wait a few minutes and extend my suspense and excitement... It's kinda crazy, but it's FUN!
See, you just never know what this little My Paper Pumpkin box of happiness is gonna contain.  For the last couple of month, it's been cards. The sentiments have been terrific (great fonts, sassy little phrases that make the stamps/sentiments out of the ordinary).  I love getting the little 1x1 stampin' spots.  They're cute and handy.  Perfect for taking my kit on the go with me so I can pull together a couple of quick cards while I am waiting for the kids to get done with one of their many activities.  Simply said... I LOVE the MY PAPER PUMPKIN ADVENTURE!!

When this month's kit arrived and I open the box, I was so excited to see a mini album!  This is perfect for me.  I admire my scrapbooking friends and their commitment to creating fabulous keepsakes for their peeps.  But I'm just not very good at it.  I get overwhelmed by big pages and can never decide what should go on them.  But this little album is perfect - it's 'the nuts!' Check it out:
One pic per page... awesome background embellishments... even little jump rings to hold the pages together! 

And here's another cool things about My Paper Pumpkin... You can use the kit in any fashion that YOU want!  Not crazy about the album?  No sweat - make cards! Here are a few ideas to borrow:
Fun, easy and quick --- You've gotta love it! Check out my Paper Pumpkin Ideas Pinterest Page

Circles with the Essential Paper Pack - 'How To'!

 
Who thought a bunch of circles would turn out to look so sassy?  You've got to check out the way in which Melody, one of Stampin' Up!s concept artists brought his card to life.  The key component? 
The Essential Paper Piercing Pack! The pack comes with 3 'templates', I guess you can call them for only $7.95.  It's a total steal and huge bag for your buck as several of the shapes coordinate with punches and the straight lines, scallops and circles offer the opportunity to really do a lot to jazz up your card designs. 
 
Here's how Melody created the fabulous perfect circle design on the card featured above. 

1. Draw a line down the center of your cardstock with a pencil, then line up the holes at the tips of the scallop along the line and pierce the scallop.

 2. Rotate your paper 180 degrees and line up the scallop on the template with the pierced scallop on your paper. Pierce the scallop to complete the circles.

 3. Line up the pierced holes with the template as shown above and pierce the scallop to start the next row of circles. Rotate your paper 180 degrees again and line up the template as shown in step 2. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you’ve filled the entire piece of cardstock with pierced circles. 

4. VOILA!! Your cardstock should look like this when you’re done. Erase your pencil line and attach it to a card base; embellish your project as desired.
