December 2021 Paper Pumpkin Alternative Handmade Card Idea & How To Give Personality To Your Images

Welcome to Paper Pumpkin Week here at Creative Chelsey. I love getting my Paper Pumpkin Kit every month and creating fun alternative projects using the supplies in the kit. Today I am sharing my first alternative idea using the December 2021 Paper Pumpkin Kit – Lots of Pun. This kit comes with everything you need to make 9 Punny Cards, 3 in three different designs. What I like to do is use the supplies in the kit along with some other products and create different or alternative cards. Today I am sharing a three cards using the same layout and showing how you can easily give personality to your images. I love creating alternative projects with Paper Pumpkin Kits so make sure to come back for more as I continue to create with this month’s kit.

If this project inspires you to create something, I would love for you to tag me in any social media post using @creativechelsey | #creativechelsey or email me at chelsey@creativechelsey.com.

2- Cut the inside of an envelope to 4” x 4”. Add to the center of the cardbase at an angle.

3- Stamp three images in Early Espresso Ink on Basic White cardstock. Color in with Stampin’ Blends. Add details like faces, mustache, and glasses. Use the Early Espresso Stampin’ Write Markers to draw legs, feet, arms & hands. Add shadow under the images with the Light Crumb Cake Blend. Add at an angle to the cardbase.

4- Cut one of the 1” Crumb Cake strips in half at ½”. Cut the left side at an angle and add to the card below the bananas. Cut the section between the Early Espresso stripe rectangles to create another strip, add to the bottom area of the Crumb Cake strip. Or use other patterns from the kit.

5- Stamp your greeting in Early Espresso on a Pool Party strip. Add to the card with dimensionals.

6- Cut 6” of Linen Thread and tie a small bow. Add to the card with a glue dot near the greeting.

All Done!
