Our thoughts are with everyone affected by Hurricane Harvey and/or Hurricane Irma. Here at the stamping studio we had no power for four and a half days, and lost all the food in our refrigerator and freezer, but we are very fortunate. There are so many who lost so much more: their homes, their possessions, even their stamping supplies!
I will donate 20% of my September sales (product total before tax & shipping) to the Red Cross for Hurricane Harvey/Irma Relief. And Stampin’ Up! will match my donation!
Please help make a difference by shopping my online store in September.

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love Halloween. It’s my favorite holiday. Lately I’ve really been enjoying playing with the new Spooky Cat Bundle (Spooky Cat stamp set and Cat Punch) and Spooky Night Designer Series Paper (DSP.) I used this great new items on today’s card, along with Rhinestone Basic Jewels to make the cats’ eyes seem to glow (in the right light.) I think almost all of my customers have already bought this bundle and DSP, but if you haven’t, I highly recommend them. You can make cute projects or scary ones. I’ll be sharing more projects made with these, so stay tuned!

To show our support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re going PINK . . . or at least our October boxes are! And because we know our subscribers want to share the love too, we will be making a donation on their behalf to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF).
Stampin’ Up! will donate
$1 for every active Paper Pumpkin subscriber.
Plus, an additional $1 for every new subscriber.
Together, we will make a difference!
Here’s how you can help:
Subscribe! If you’re new to Paper Pumpkin, click here to get started. Your first kit will arrive in a limited-edition pink box that you’ll want to hold onto forever-and we’lldonate $2 because you’re new!
Stay active if you’re a subscriber so we can donate $1 for you. Only those who receive the October shipment will be counted for the donation.
Spread the word! Help us get as many new subscribers as possible. Every current subscriber adds $1 and for new subscribers it’s doubled, so let’s get the word out and raise as much as possible. Tell all your friends, family, coworkers, etc.
Remember, those who get the October kit will not only be donating to a good cause, but they will also get a one-time only, pretty pink Paper Pumpkin box! No one will want to miss it. Promise.
More About BCRF
The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) advances the world’s most promising research to eradicate breast cancer. Founded by Evelyn H. Lauder in 1993, BCRF has raised more than $550 million to fuel discoveries in tumor biology, genetics, prevention, treatment, survivorship and metastasis, making it one of the largest non-governmental funders of breast cancer research in the world. This year BCRF has invested $58.6 million in research, to support over 235 researchers at leading medical institutions across six continents, including $11.6 million to the international Evelyn H. Lauder Founder’s Fund focused on metastasis. By spending 91 cents of every dollar on research and public awareness programs, BCRF remains one of the nation’s most fiscally responsible nonprofits. BCRF is the only breast cancer organization with an “A+” from CharityWatch, and has been awarded Charity Navigator’s highest rating of four stars 13 times since 2002. For more information, please visit: www.bcrfcure.org.
Additional Details:
New subscribers are those who sign up between September 11 and October 10, 2015 and have not been a Paper Pumpkin subscriber at any time in the past.
All funds will be donated in US dollars.
Mini spoiler alert! The October project inside the pink box is just as awesome as always, but we should probably let you know that it is not a pink project. That’s all we’re saying. 😉
Funds will be donated based on number of subscribers instead of boxes shipped. But, if you want more than one pink box, you can always increase your subscription quantity by logging into your account at PaperPumpkin.com before October 10.
I hope you’ll consider subscribing to help Stamp Out Breast Cancer!
Thanks for stopping by today, and as always, Sweet Stamping!
