Creative Chelsey: Use The Envelopes From March 2022 Paper Pumpkin In Two Fun Ways

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 third alternative idea using the March 2022 Paper Pumpkin Kit – Beyond The Horizon.

This kit comes with everything you need to make 9 Beautiful 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 two simple handmade cards using the double sided patterned envelopes from the kit. You could also make similar cards usingStampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper. 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.

It is Paper Pumpkin Week here on Creative Chelsey. This is the third alternative this week. If you would like to see all my alternatives check out the playlist here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL40dV1oxpkNn0F8KVYMkaaVL_5Yn9MoQe

Card #1

Card #2

1- Open an envelope from the kit and cut it to these sizes for the card you want to make:

Card #1 – One envelope 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”

Then cut from the bottom a ¾” strip

Card #2 – Choose two coordinating envelopes 4” x 5 ¼”

Then cut each in half at 2 5/8” and then in half again at 2”

You can make two cards

2- Stamp on the watercolor side with any images and coordinating colors you choose.

Card #1 – Pale Papaya flowers going down the left and bottom sides.

Card #2 – Old Olive dots on the Old Olive section

3- Stamp the flowers and leaves that you want to use.

Tip – stamp the inside detail first then stamp the solid image on top using a stamp off stamp on technique to get a lighter color. I used Calypso Coral, Bumblebee, and Misty Moonlight for flowers and Evening Evergreen for leaves.

Fussy cut out – I did remove the two adjoining flowers from each other.

4- Add the pattern papers to the cardbase. Use any leftover strips over adjoining areas.

5- Add the flowers to the cards with dimensionals. Layer the larger of the two small flowers over the cut-out area of the largest flower. Tuck in leaves.
