Are you looking for the best deal on Paper Pumpkin? You may have heard the rumors, and it is true! Due to the cost increase of raw materials, shipping and overhead, the price of Paper Pumpkin is going up. And it all starts with the March 2022 Paper Pumpkin Kit.
The new cost of each Paper Pumpkin kit will keep the value and high quality standards in effect. There is nothing better than getting that orange creativity kit delivered straight to your door! With each kit brimming with supplies, you will find it easy to craft long past the kit’s limits.
A Breakdown of Costs
Of course, you may really want to know what the best deal for Paper Pumpkin is! And what the cost will be compared to what they used to cost. I will break all of that down for you here:
Paper Pumpkin Month-To-Month
With the Paper Pumpkin Month-To-Month Plan, you are paying as you go each month. This gives you the flexibility to cancel at any time, since you are not locked in to a specific subscription plan. As you can see, the price increase is $1.50 per month:
Previous Price: $22.00 (shipping included, tax not included).
New Price: $23.50 (shipping included, tax not included).
This new price is already in effect, since the next kit coming is the March Kit. If you are on this plan, you will be billed the new price on or around March 11th.
Speaking of the March Paper Pumpkin Kit…
March happens to be Paper Pumpkin’s birthday month! I have explored Paper Pumpkin kits in previous blog posts, but the best part about Paper Pumpkin’s birthday is that you get a gift! In the upcoming March Kit, titled Beyond The Horizon, you get not one, but two stamp sets…the second stamp set is free!
When you prepay, you save! And just like buying in bulk, the more you purchase, the more you save. I will break down the previous and new prices for each of the prepaid options. But first, did you know the prepaid codes for Paper Pumpkin never expire? You can redeem them anytime in the future. This is a great reason to have one or two on hand…especially now before the price increases.
Besides being amazing for you, Paper Pumpkin makes a great gift. When you purchase a prepaid Paper Pumpkin, you get an email with a redemption number. When you are ready to redeem your code for a kit, you log on to Paper Pumpkin, set up your account, and activate your kit.
This makes the codes “giftable”. Yup…you can give your code away and let someone else get the kit in their mailbox instead! Starting on March 1, the price will go up $1.50.
Previous Price: $ 21.00 (shipping and tax not included).
New Price: $22.50 (shipping and tax not included).
By purchasing 3 months of Paper Pumpkin, you are not actually saving money. The cost per kit is the same as the 1 month subscription. And the increase remains $1.50 per kit.
When you redeem your 3 month code, you will receive 3 consecutive months worth of kits. You do have the option to suspend a kit (cancel for a month), but this does not affect the number of kits you will eventually receive.
SPENDING TIP: During Sale-A-Bration, the purchase price of a 3 Month Prepaid Paper Pumpkin Subscription will earn you a free SAB product! (For each $50 purchase before shipping and tax = a Sale-A-Bration freebie.)
Previous Price: 63.00 (shipping and tax not included).
New Price: $67.50 (shipping and tax not included).
Here is where the savings start! By purchasing a 6 Month Prepaid Paper Pumpkin Subscription, you save $1 per month. This also lessens the increase as seen with each category above from $1.50 per month to $1.42 per month.
SPENDING TIP: When you purchase the 6 Month Prepaid Paper Pumpkin during Sale-A-Bration, you will earn 2 qualifying products in the $50 Sale-A-Bration category, or 1 qualifying product in the $100 category.
Previous Price: $114.00 (shipping and tax not included).
New Price: $122.50 (shipping and tax not included).
The 12 Month Prepaid Paper Pumpkin Subscription is the largest offering and the best deal for Paper Pumpkin. Again, by buying in bulk you are saving money. In fact, it is like buying 11 and getting the 12th kit free. Just think, a whole year of Paper Pumpkin creativity! And the cost increase goes from the highest amount, $1.50, as seen above to the lowest amount, $1.25, per kit.
SPENDING TIP: When you purchase the 12 Month Prepaid Paper Pumpkin during Sale-A-Bration, you will earn 4 qualifying products in the $50 Sale-A-Bration category, or 2 qualifying products in the $100 category. You can also mix it up and choose 2 of the $50 and 1 of the $100 category products. What a great time to splurge on Paper Pumpkin!
You also earn Host Rewards when your order total is over $150 before shipping and tax. That means more product for free when you choose the 12 Month Prepaid Paper Pumpkin Subscription.
Previous Price: $ 220.00 (shipping and tax not included).
New Price: $235.00 (shipping and tax not included).
Past Paper Pumpkin Kits & Refills
Another benefit that is exclusive to Paper Pumpkin subscribers is the option to purchase past Paper Pumpkin Kits and Refill Kits. This inventory will vary, and when depleted will not be refilled. Just like the Paper Pumpkin Kits themselves, there will be a price increase with the past and refill kits too.
Previous Price: Past Kits, $19.00 (shipping and tax not included).
New Price: Past Kits, $20.50 (shipping and tax not included).
Previous Price: Refill Kits, $10.00 (shipping and tax not included).
New Price: Refill Kits, $11.00 (shipping and tax not included).

In case you missed it, I just held a January Winter White Virtual Bootcamp! This 4 day bootcamp took place in my Maine craft room and wherever viewers were able to watch from. For example, on your couch in comfy pj’s, or in the break room at work. Isn’t the internet marvelous? And the best part…it was FREE.
All of those training videos from my January Winter White Virtual Bootcamp are out there for review. I made them bite-size, most are under 10 minutes each. Some of them may push 15 minutes, but the content is amazing. And we covered a large variety of subjects.
If you saw me in one of my blue Maine Stamper t-shirts, you knew it was time for another subject and another lesson. I placed all the information in Guide 3 of the Positive PaperCrafters FaceBook Page. After you watch a video, you have the the option to click “done” on it, so that you know which ones you still need to view. If you aren’t a member of the Positive PaperCrafters yet, what are you waiting for? Ask to join our private group today!
Julie Makson, The Maine Stamper
Day 1: White Paper
On the first day of the January Winter White Virtual Bootcamp, we covered different types of white paper. Did you know that there are lots of colors (or tones) of white. They are not all the same, and by lining some of them up, I proved that to be true.
There are also a lot of papers out there to do different jobs in our crafting world. Some of these are specialty papers. I talked about what they are and gave demos on how to use them. We also discussed how to store your scraps, and non-traditional white paper items.
For this Mother of Pearl Specialty Paper, you need Staz-On Ink for stamping.
Day 2: White Embossing Powder
Moving on to day 2 of the January Winter White Virtual Bootcamp, we took on White Embossing Powder and its important role in papercrafting. Of course, everyone knows that White Embossing Powder looks amazing on color cardstock. If you are putting that glossy white on black, it is simply stunning.
But, we also covered using it on Water Color Paper and 2 ways to add color inside the embossed image. I showed an emboss resist technique with White Embossing Powder. And, have you ever thought about embossing designer series paper or specialty paper? We did that too!
These gorgeous trees were made by embossing the stamped image in White Embossing Powder and sponging on ink with Sponge Daubers.
Day 3: White Embellishments
What is an embellishment? We covered that first on the third day of the January Winter White Virtual Bootcamp. And my list may have surprised some of you to think outside the box a little. It may be hard to throw something away that you once thought of as “trash” after you watch my video. Very crafty indeed!
We also learned about different ways to store embellishments (a very popular subject…organization ideas!). Choosing the right adhesive may be difficult, but I talked about that too. And if your embellishments are too white, lets add some color to them to match our projects. Lastly, where do you place embellishments? This video was eye-opening for anyone who struggles with this.
We learned about the Law of 3, using triangles for embellishment placement, and the Implied Path.
Day 4: Coloring With White
When you think of coloring, white is probably the last color to come to mind. Typically, the paper we are coloring on is already white. And there are not a lot of tools out there that can do the job, but we covered them in this January Winter White Virtual Bootcamp.
The White Chalk Marker saw a lot of screen time. There is so much we can do with this mighty marker! I also shared some information on the Whisper White Craft Ink Pad and Refill. And, the White Stampin’ Blend in not a white marker…we talked about what it is, and what it is not.
This technique provides a great wow factor! Stamp your image using a darker shade of ink than your cardstock. Then, fill in the “white” using a Blender Pen and Whisper White Craft Ink. My video shows you how!
