September 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit- Aspens of Gratitude

 

 

 

September Paper Pumpkin: Aspens of Gratitude

Subscription Period: August 11–September 10

This kit is all about beautifully hand-painted aspen trees standing tall against a gorgeous gratitude-toned palette. Here’s what you’ll be “falling” for:

10 cards total — 5 each of 2 stunning designs, plus 10 coordinating envelopes

Precut paper pieces so your trees come together without any fussy cutting

Self-adhesive gem embellishments for a little sparkle among the branches

Two stamp options for each label, so you can totally make these cards your own

 

The Colors-

Basic Black, Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight, Golden Glow, Gray Granite, Mossy Meadow, and Pumpkin Pie, with Early Espresso as this month’s Stampin’ Spot. Basically every color in your favorite pumpkin spice latte, translated into ink.

There’s something about aspen groves — all those golden leaves shimmering together — that just says gratitude without saying a word. Whether you’re sending a thank-you to a teacher, a neighbor, or that friend who always shows up, these cards do the talking for you. And with hand-painted detail like this, nobody has to know it took you 20 minutes instead of 20 hours.
