May 2020 Paper Pumpkin Kit - A Kit In Color

We all get super excited this time of year, because the new Annual Catalog is right around the corner.  What better way for Stampin' Up!® to get us excited than by sharing the new 2020-2022 In Colors in the May 2020 Paper Pumpkin Kit.  Everyone was so excited, that the May Paper Pumpkin Kit sold out way before the last day to subscribe.  WOW, and these colors are WOW!!!  I have to admit that I am extremely in love with Magenta Madness, and Misty Moonlight definitely is my next favorite.  It's amazing that these colors are for all seasons.  I just love the bright cheerful colors, and the warmth that some will add to my Autumn/Winter themed projects, especially the Cinnamon Cider and Bumblebee, even Just Jade will have a place in my holiday projects.  So let me introduce you to the New In Colors, and A Kit In Color.

Here are cards that the kit instructs you to make with the elements included in your kit:

What bright and cheerful colors.

I always like to take elements from my Paper Pumpkin Kits and a few additional supplies to create alternate projects.  Here are a few:

By incorporating the Hot Air Balloon Punch I was able to add a banner and a hot air balloon to this amazing project, and what better way to express to all those 2020 graduates that "every cloud has a silver lining", than to include a little hint of Silver Metallic Thread to embellish under the "You're Amazing" cloud.

The Hot Air Balloon Punch Item #149520 is retiring by June 3rd, 

the current cost for this punch is $10.80 while supplies last.

The Silver Metallic Thread is no longer available.

I was completely inspired by the Hinge Box that Julie DiMatteo created to hold hand sanitizer from Bath & Body Works.  I decided to recreate her 3-D Hinge Box using the products from this suite and my new favorite In Color - Magenta Madness Cardstock & coordinating ribbon.  Not to mention, it matches perfectly with the Strawberry Pound Cake Hand Sanitizer that I just purchased.  If you ask me Stampin' Up! is spot on with the latest trends.  I bet you will spot these colors everywhere now!

(Magenta Madness Cardstock & Ribbon available to purchase June 3rd.)

The sentiment used is from the downloadable PDF you can purchase directly from Stampin' Up!, see details below.
