Add More Creative Possibilities With Coordinating Dies


One of my favorite things about crafting is finding ways to get even more value from the supplies I already love. That's why I'm excited about these coordinating add-on dies designed to work with upcoming monthly crafting kits!

Whether you're a cardmaker who enjoys adding layers and dimension or a scrapbooker looking for custom embellishments, these dies offer endless creative possibilities. Featuring beautiful floral designs for summer projects and a gorgeous leaf design perfect for fall crafting, these dies can be used to create cards, scrapbook accents, tags, journals, and more.

I especially love products that work across multiple projects and seasons. Coordinating dies make it easy to create professional-looking results while adding your own personal style to every project.

If you're thinking about adding these dies to your craft room, don't wait too long, they are available while supplies last and popular add-ons often sell out quickly.

Happy crafting!

A Lovely Day With Paper Pumpkin June 2026 Kit Card Inspiration

There’s just something so satisfying about opening a Paper Pumpkin kit and seeing a project come together so beautifully, and this card from the June 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit was exactly that for me!

Today I’m sharing one of the three card designs included in the kit, and I have to say… I absolutely loved how this one turned out. While I kept the overall design very close to the original concept, I did make a few minor changes to make it feel a little more “me.” Those little personal touches are one of my favorite things about kit crafting, you get the ease of a pre-designed project, but you can still add your own creative spin.

This card has such a charming and cheerful feel. The soft green background paired with the sweet pink accents creates such a fresh, pretty look, and that bike filled with flowers completely stole my heart. It feels whimsical, light, and perfect for sending a little sunshine to someone’s mailbox.

I especially love how the layered pieces give the card dimension without making it feel overly complicated. The floral basket, the bicycle details, the simple tag, and the sentiment all come together in such a lovely way. It’s the kind of card that looks special but still feels very approachable to create.

One of the things I appreciate most about Paper Pumpkin is that it makes crafting feel easy and fun, especially on days when I want to create but don’t necessarily want to pull out a ton of supplies or start from scratch. Everything coordinates beautifully, and the projects are perfect for both newer crafters and seasoned paper crafters alike.

This card is a great example of that. It’s elegant, playful, and polished all at once. And even with just a few tiny changes, it still keeps the original charm of the kit design.

If you’ve ever looked at a card kit and wondered if you should follow the instructions exactly or change things up a bit, let this be your reminder that both are great options. Sometimes the original design is so good that only a few tweaks are needed. A small adjustment here and there can make the project feel personalized while still keeping the ease and beauty of the kit intact.

This card was such a joy to make, and I’m excited to share the other designs from the June 2026 kit soon as well.

Overall, I’m so happy with how this card turned out. It’s sweet, fresh, and full of charm. and it was such a fun project to create. If you’re a fan of card kits, florals, or pretty layered details, this design is definitely one to love.

Have you ever made a Paper Pumpkin card exactly as designed, or do you like to add your own twist? I’d love to hear how you make your kits your own!

Golden Glow 12 x 12 Scrapbooking Layout


I had so much fun creating this layout! As soon as I saw the sneak peek a few weeks ago I knew I had just the pictures for this kit. Rather than making cards, I chose to use some of the components from the May 2026 Paper Pumpkin kit to create this perfect layout to showcase my photos from the Rapunzel's Lantern Festival ride at DisneySea in Tokyo, Japan. We purposely waited until night time to ride this ride so we could experience the lanterns in the dark. They were so whimsical. The lantern embellishments in this kit were such an adorable addition to the layout. 

Have you had a chance to experience the ride at DisneySea? If so what did you enjoy most about it?
