Paper Pumpkin - Inked Occasions April 2025

I'm finally rediscovering my passion for crafting. Over six months' worth of Paper Pumpkin kits have been sitting untouched, cluttering up space. But now, I’m back to creating and loving every minute of it. Paper Pumpkin is truly the best way to dive into crafting; I’ve been making cards since 2008, and I always look forward to receiving a new stamp set and crafting challenge each month. I love that I have a 12-month subscription, and I can skip any month if it doesn’t catch my interest—that flexibility is a lifesaver. The monthly hints about what’s coming up are helpful to see if I’ll enjoy the kit, fitting perfectly with my style. 

This is a hint to June's kit. 

In April 2025, the Inked Occasions kit included three card designs with enough supplies to make nine cards—but I went a step further and used the card bases to create eighteen cards. Crafting has become so much more fun and fulfilling again!

This is my Four-Quadrilateral Layout Card. The diagram and measurements are available for $4.95. I also created a Brother ScanNCut file - all the measurements are done for you, just place you cardstock on your cutting mat and click start. Please be sure to let me know if you want the Canvas Workspace cut file I created for my Brother ScanNCut.
