February's Paper Pumpkinâ„¢
Create whimsical cards to celebrate Easter and spring days with February's kit.
Your kit has everything you need to make 9 cards (3 each of 3 designs), with 9 coordinating envelopes. You'll assemble your cards with precut paper pieces, and then embellish with iridescent pink and yellow sequins and pink Baker's Twine. A Shy Shamrock Classic Stampin' Spot is also provided, and other coordinating Stampin' Up! colours are Balmy Blue, Crumb Cake, Lemon Lolly, Peach Pie, and
Pretty in Pink.
Don't forget that you can purchase the Beautiful Blooms Dies add-on, to help you take your crafting with your Paper Pumpkin kits even further. These dies coordinate with all three of this quarter's kits (January, February, and March 2026). This set of dies lets you cut a postage stamp, a scripted
"Beautiful" element, and two-piece tulip. Don't delay ordering as this add-on is offered while supplies last, and is only available to current Paper Pumpkin subscribers.
To subscribe, you can choose the pay-as-you-go option to pay monthly, or select a prepay plan to pay in advance for 3, 6, or 12 months from my online store. The cut-off date to subscribe
and receive each month's kit is the 10th of the month, so to receive the February kit, you must purchase your subscription before February 10th.

If you redeem Stampin' Rewards or use coupon or discount codes, your cart total is reduced. You'll need to add more items to your cart to reach the qualifying total again.
Save this useful guide so you'll always know how to get your Product of the Month. Â
Product of the Month Reminders
Each monthly exclusive is a specially-designed product that isn't available in any of our catalogues or our
Online Exclusives. Each month's release is available only while supplies last, so once it's sold out it's gone for good! You'll only be able to get one of each month's exclusive product. If a Product of the Month remains in stock after the month ends, you can order it in future months with a qualifying purchase, as long as you haven't already ordered it. So if you didn't get December's exclusive DSPÂ yet, you can choose that instead of January's new option, but only while supplies last.
You'll need to have a Stampin' Up! account to take advantage and claim your Product of the Month with your qualifying order. If you don't have an account, you can create one at stampinup.ca, or I can send you an invitation. You have to reach the qualifying amount of $100 in a single order; you can't combine multiple orders of lower amounts to qualify.
Don't delay! January's Product of the Month, the Fabulous Sayings Photopolymer Stamp Set, is only available while supplies last.
Bonus Days Are Here!
Bonus days are here! You'll earn coupons every time you shop between now and February 2nd, which you can then redeem until the end of February.
Bonus Days are now even better! You'll also earn Stampin' Rewards on your order, and if your order total is over $100 you will be able to add the Product of the Month to your order for only $5. Â
Step 1. Earn When You Shop
Shop and earn a $6 coupon for every
$60 you spend from January 6th to February 2nd (excluding any redeemed rewards, and tax & shipping). There's no limit to how many coupons you can earn! When completing your purchase, make sure you use a valid email address. If you have an account, please check to see that your email address is up-to-date before completing your order. Â
Step 2. Save Your Coupon Codes
After placing your order, your coupon code (or codes!)
will be emailed to you. You don't want to miss out on any savings, so make sure you keep those emails, write down or save the codes somewhere safe, or even take a photo of them so you won't lose them. If you don't receive an email after you've placed your order, please let me know and I will help. Â
Step 3. Redeem Your Coupons
You'll redeem your coupons between February 3rd and 28th. You can use as many coupons as you want at

Creative Inspiration Table
Here's this month's sketch:
And here's the project it inspired:
Featuring a classic palette of many shades of pink and red,
the Made With Love Suite Collection has all you need for your Valentine's and Galentine's projects. Â
A rectangle of Strawberry Slush Two-Tone Cardstock was embossed using the Hearts of Love 3D embossing folder (adding the raised pattern to the darker
side), and trimmed to measure 2" x 4½". The embossed side was lightly sanded to reveal the white core. The layer was adhered in the center of a folded Bubble Bath card base using Stampin' Seal.
The 'Hugs & Kisses' sentiment, from the Endless Love Photopolymer Stamp Set, was stamped in the top left corner of a Basic White Cardstock Rectangle (3¼" x 2½") using Real Red Classic Stampin' Ink™. The stamped rectangle was added to the card front, approximately 1¼" from the top edge, using
Stampin' Dimensionalsâ„¢.
The heart tag shape was cut from Read Red Cardstock using the die from the coordinating Endless Love Dies. A short length of White Baker's Twine (from the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack) was folded in half and looped through the tag top. The heart was then adhered to the bottom right corner of the Basic White layer using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
The banner was cut from Basic White Cardstock using the die from the same set, and the curved right edge cut off.
The 'XO' elements were cut twice from Strawberry Slush Cardstock, and adhered to the banner using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (added only to the bottom half of the back of each letter). The finished banner element was added on top of the heart with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Whether you’re planning a Creative Escape, playing with a brand-new kit, stamping thoughtful
sentiments, or pulling out your favourite supplies to try the monthly sketch, I hope you find a little creative joy this week.Â
