🍓 Treat Pouch:
We used Pool Party Cardstock to create a wrap for a snack-size bag of strawberry Froot Rolls we got at Walmart (because what’s better than coordinating your crafting with your candy?!). The flap is decorated with the strawberry patterned paper from the Paper Pumpkin kit and embellished with rhinestones for a little sparkle.
The sentiment tag was layered up with die cuts from the kit, fussy-cut strawberries, and a little linen thread bow—because bows make everything better.
Pro tip: use Tear & Tape to keep the pouch nice and secure while still letting it be easy to open.
🍓 The Matching Card:
The card base is Pool Party Cardstock, layered with Basic White and that adorable strawberry patterned paper from the kit. We used coordinating die cuts from the kit along with extra fussy-cut strawberries to decorate the card front. A few rhinestones, a big beautiful bow (using the White 1/4" Ribbon and Linen Thread), and a “LOVE YOU LOTS” sentiment stamped in Poppy Parade to finish it off.
Sweet, simple, and ready to send to your berry bestie. Lol, get it?

What's Paper Pumpkin?
Paper Pumpkin is the perfect way to jump into the world of paper crafting and get your creative “me-time” every month. Each month, we deliver all the stamps, ink, and paper you need to create a fun project, without any stress. Everything is precut and ready to go so you can skip to the fun part of crafting! Our subscribers always have cards and cute gifts on hand for every occasion. Your first kit includes a free gift from us—a clear stamping block. You’ll also build a collection of stamps and ink to use on other projects. There’s no pressure—you can cancel or suspend at any time.
Every kit includes an exclusive stamp set, ink spot, and embellishments to create a predesigned project. At least six times a year, we send an all card kit with eight or more cards. Sometimes the kit includes cards plus gift bags, banners, treat bags, or boxes. Other times, it’s home décor, giftables, or just treat packaging. No matter what it is—we promise you’ll love it, or we’ll make it right!
