Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Symphony Masculine Card

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week and the last Monday of 2025. Another year just about gone and a new one to start in just a few days. How was your weekend? I didn’t do anything that I planned to do. I was going to spend time in my card studio getting some cards made and just enjoying some creative time. That did not happen. I need everyone in my house to go back to work so I can have the house to myself.

I think this bundle and DSP that I used for today’s card has to be my favorite since I find myself using it a lot. I especially love DSP that has script on it.  If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Nature's Symphony Masculine 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

Cyber Monday – Paper Pumpkin Sale – December 1 – 9

This is such an awesome deal!! Whether you are new to Paper Pumpkin or you already have a subscription, you can take advantage of the awesome offer. You can save $80 on a 1-year subscription. If you are already subscribed, you’ll want to suspend your current subscription, so you don’t get duplicate kits (unless you want to get 2 of each).

Starting December 1 at 8 a.m. (MT), Stampin’ Up! is offering big savings on prepaid Paper Pumpkin subscriptions!  There’s never been a better time to subscribe to get a new all-inclusive crafting kit delivered to your door each month. Take advantage of this Cyber Monday offer for fantastic deals on 3-, 6-, and 12-month prepaid subscriptions.

Whether you’re looking for a last-minute Christmas present that sparks creativity or resolving to make time to craft in the new year, a Paper Pumpkin subscription is the gift that keeps on giving!

From December 1–9, prepaid Paper Pumpkin subscriptions will be discounted as follows:

  • 3-month prepaid: $61.00 (regular price $81.00)
  • 6-month prepaid: $122.00 (regular price $162.00)
  • 12-month prepaid: $244.00 (regular price $324.00)

Here are the details:

  • Subscriptions purchased during this promotion start immediately with the December Watercolor in Bloom Kit. This kit cannot be skipped.
  • Do not purchase multiple subscriptions for the same recipient. The subscriptions will all start with the Watercolor in Bloom Kit, so the recipient will end up receiving duplicates of the same kit each month.
  • Subscriptions purchased during the promotion will earn reduced rewards compared to full-priced subscriptions due to the discounted price, but they will still qualify for rewards once the threshold is met.

Don’t miss your chance to enjoy months of exciting kits at an incredible value!  Stop by the Paper Pumpkin page here for more details about how Paper Pumpkin works and get ready to order your prepaid subscriptions on December 1!
