Updated: Aug 16

Hey there, fellow crafting enthusiasts!


If you’re on the hunt for a quick and delightful way to whip up some adorable cards, look no further because I have just the thing for you! Let me introduce you to the “Fun in the Sun” Paper Pumpkin Kit—a delightful set tailor-made for those who cherish basking under the sun, lounging on sandy shores, or cruising into the sunset on a beautiful boat ride.




What’s Inside the “Fun in the Sun” Kit?


Get ready to be wowed by what this kit has in store for you:


• 9 charming cards featuring 3 distinct styles with matching envelopes.

• A versatile stamp set perfect for beach-themed projects.

• A vibrant Daffodil Ink Spot to add a pop of color.

• Shimmering Sparkle Gems for that extra sparkle.

• Punch-out embellishments (no scissors needed!) to make your crafting process easy and fun.

• Handy glue dots to hold everything together.

• Breakaway tape for assembling your cards with ease.



This kit is all about making your card-making process as smooth and enjoyable as possible. With crystal-clear instructions to guide you, you’ll find it a stress-free and enjoyable crafting experience.




Step-by-Step Guide to Crafting with the “Fun in the Sun” Kit


The first step I like to take is organizing my workspace by creating separate piles for each of the three card types included in the kit. This way, I can easily stay on track and ensure that each card turns out just right. After sorting, I proceed to punch out the charming embellishments and neatly place them in their corresponding card piles.


Next, I carefully stamp all the sentiments needed for each card, ensuring they are cohesive across the front, interior, and back. Allowing the ink to dry thoroughly ensures a flawless finish, free from smudges.




Now, it’s time to assemble the cards. Starting with the first stack, I follow the detailed instructions to master the “mountains and valleys” folding technique, which adds dimension and visual interest to each card. Working from back to front, I affix the ocean piece, then the sand, and finally add the crab holding the sign, creating a dynamic and playful design.


The process remains consistent for the other two card styles, resulting in a trio of beautifully crafted cards that are sure to impress. What an enjoyable and effortless crafting experience!

For the last step in our card-making adventure, we shift our focus to the front of the card, where simplicity meets elegance. Here, we align the corners of the card with those of the surfboard embellishment and finish off our design with a charming starfish and sea shell, adding the perfect finishing touches to our coastal-inspired creation.




The process remains consistent for the other two card styles included in the kit, resulting in a trio of beautifully crafted cards sure to impress. With each card completed, we revel in the joy of crafting something truly special - a delightful and professional-looking creation to share with our loved ones.
