Hello Reader,
Some crafty news has been a very long time coming, and this one is a bit exciting.
Back in 2013, Stampin’ Up! launched a papercraft subscription box called Paper Pumpkin in the US. For years, those of us here in Australia could only look on from afar and hope that maybe one day it would make its way here too.
Well, that day has finally arrived. From 1 April, Paper Pumpkin subscriptions will be available in Australia.
If Paper Pumpkin is new to you, think of it as a little dose of creativity delivered to your door each month. It’s designed to be easy, inspiring, and fun, without you needing to plan the project from scratch.
In this issue, I’m giving you a quick introduction to Paper Pumpkin, sharing a free tutorial as always, and answering the question of why on earth it’s called that in the first place.
This newsletter is a little shorter than usual because I’ll be back in your inbox next week with another crafty email and a few more details to share.
And to my newest subscribers, a big warm welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.

Reader, meet Paper Pumpkin, your monthly crafting subscription kit
If you’ve been around the papercrafting world for a while, there’s a good chance you’ve heard whispers about Paper Pumpkin. It first launched in the US back in 2013, and ever since then Australian crafters have been hoping it might one day make its way here too. From 1 April, that long wait is finally over.
Paper Pumpkin is a monthly papercrafting subscription from Stampin’ Up! designed to make creativity feel easy. Each kit arrives beautifully coordinated and ready to enjoy, so there’s no need to plan everything from scratch.
Imagine a little papercrafting surprise arriving at your door each month. No overthinking, no hunting through supplies, just a simple, happy bit of craft time waiting for you.
It’s a lovely option for busy crafters who want something creative, convenient, and ready to go.
For this first release in Australia, the sign-up window is short, from 1st to 10th April. Each monthly kit is $48 and includes supplies to make approximately 9 cards and envelopes, an exclusive stamp set, an ink spot, and postage anywhere in Australia.
After that, the regular subscription window will run from the 11th of the month to the 10th of the following month. There will also be flexible options, including pay-as-you-go and prepaid subscriptions.

Bonuses for my subscribers:
One of the things I’m most excited about is being part of a collaboration with wonderfully talented demonstrators who create additional Paper Pumpkin projects each month.
When you subscribe with me, you’ll receive free printable Paper Pumpkin Bonus Projects, plus an invitation to an exclusive online group, as my way of saying thank you.
That means you won’t just have the kit itself to enjoy. You’ll also have extra projects and inspiration to help you make the most of it.

The days are getting cooler here and I had to pull out the fluffy socks last night. I hope you’re keeping warm and finding a little time for yourself and your creativity too.
Happy stamping,
Simone 💛
