December 2018 Paper Pumpkin Alternatives and Kit Giveaway

[@andreaadairbeaver5876]

These are the best alternatives I've watched. I too was disappointed with this kit. I have found with a lot of the kits that I like the alternative ideas I see on KZbin or make up myself!

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Hi Andrea, I love Paper Pumpkin because it makes me think! I am almost always trying to get the most out of material sent to me and many of the projects they select are very pretty, but I can't resist the temptation to do more with it. Thanks for watching & Happy New year. Linda B.

[@carolyncampbell2974]

Linda, as always, you have made some fantastic alternatives! I was very disappointed with this kit but I can see some options. Thank you!

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Hi Carolyn, Thank you. I love Paper Pumpkin because it makes me think!! Thanks for watching. Happy New Year! Linda B.

[@barbarapalczewski5341]

Linda, thank you so much! A great idea that just saved this kit! I was so disappointed in it! Now I have quite a few birthdays taken care of for 2019! You are brilliant!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Thank you Barbara, I love thinking outside the box! Thanks for watching. Linda B.

[@darlene2861]

I love your alternatives Linda. I also noticed that you laminated your SU grid paper. Brilliant! I must copy. Thank you as always for your wonderful videos.

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Hi Darlene, Yes I had a bunch of them done at Office Depot and I use them for my classes and they clean up wonderfully with a little alcohol ( even on the stuck on glue) stretches my grid paper wonderfully, especially for classes. Thanks so much for watching. Happy New Year. Linda B.

I was extremely disappointed in this kit when it came as I am a very new Paper Pumpkin subscriber. The only good thing about it that I could see that was worth while about the whole kit was that we got 2 stampin' spots in colors that I do not own, the beautiful ribbon and the box with the see through lid. For this kit it was like Paper Pumpkin was fishing for ideas down at the bottom of the barrel! I have watched a fair amount of alternative ideas for Decembers PP kit and yours Linda is the only one that makes sense. So I thank you very much for your input and ideas. You have helped me to see there is a light at the end of this tunnel!

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Hi Marie, I just love paper pumpkin partially because it makes me think and pushes my creativity. Fortunately or not the idea of an annual calendar seems popular with some. I love that my alternatives gives you some options. Thanks so much for watching and Happy New Year. Linda B.

[@marieh.8992]

@@LindaInkandIngenuity Happy New Year! All the best to you and yours in "2019"!

[@craftysue519]

What. Wonderful way to use this kit! I hint the cards are super adorable!! Sending link for this video to my card making friends, I’m sure they will love it too! TFS.

[@debbielindauer7679]

Loved the ideas. I have been a pp subscriber for 18 months. In 2 older kits I found Celebrate and in another Its your day. Look at old stamp sets from these kits besides your regular stash to see what will work. I use these stamp sets all the time.

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

HI Debbie, I love the idea. in fact I have used some of the 6 by 8 Albums with Photo pocket pages to store my Paper Pumpkin stamp sets and I use them all of the time. I also put them out in the albums for my classes. So when participants are looking for a different sentiment they can look through all and generally find something they can use. Thanks so much for watching. Happy New Year. Linda B.

[@valeriesmith6592]

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Hi Valerie, Thank you so much. Happy New Year! Linda B.

[@christinedavies336]

Aw! I like the idea of making a calendar in the last week of December for next year Linda! So wish that we had Paper Pumpkin Kits to sell in the UK. LOVE your alternative project ~ a special Birthday card and notelet set. Clever lady you! :) xOx

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Hi Christine, Thank you. I bet if you ordered some calenders from Vippies you could figure out how to make these anyway. Thanks for watching. Linda B.

[@gjwolf100]

Linda, you probably know that you have a circle stamp in this stampset to circle the date. Great idea to use the calendar for cards!

Hi Sherry, sometimes the fun is figuring things out. Happy New Year! Linda B.

[@karenstone283]

l like this idea, l have leftover calendar pieces from craft fair

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Hi Karen, This is definitely an idea to use up extra calendar pages. The small ones could easily be used as a surprise decoration for the outside or the inside of a birthday card. Thanks for watching. Linda B.

[@capstrano2514]

Advice to all unhappy with this $20.00 calendar....call 1800STAMPUP and request a refund to your account. This kit failed on SO many levels. Demonstrators are also having a hard time trying to show enthusiasm with this disappointing kit. PP really failed on this one!
