CUT IT UP To Create A Focal Area - Alternative Cards Ideas with the May 2023 Paper Pumpkin Kit Exploring In Color - Stampin' Up!

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 second alternative idea using the May 2023 Paper Pumpkin Kit called Exploring In Color.


This fun outdoor themed kit creates 9 handmade cards. There are enough supplies to make three of each card. What I like to do is use the supplies in the kit along with some other products and create different or alternative projects. Today I am sharing with you two simple card ideas that use the full front or back of a cardbase. These cards cut up the landscape images to give focus to certain areas with simple white borders.


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 second alternative this week. If you would like to see all my alternatives check out the playlist here:

Card #1

1- Cut one of the cardbases from the kit in half at 4-1/4”. On the front side trim off 5/8” from the top then 1/2” from the right.



2- From the larger piece cut a 5/8” strip from the top and bottom. Layer these three pieces on the 4” x 5-1/4” Basic White piece. Place them so there is a small gap between the strips and about 1/8” border.

3- Add this piece to the cardbase with dimensionals.


4- From the top sky piece, cut a fish tail banner on the right side. Trim the left side to the length you want. Add it to the bottom of the center section with dimensionals.

5- Cut 8” of Linen Thread and fold in half, adhere to the top of the sky strip.


6- Stamp your greeting on a label from the kit, Add over the sky strip.

All Done!

 



Card #2

1- Cut the landscape paper down to 4” x 5 ¼”.

2- Choose a focal area. It can be large or small but should be no closer than ¼” from the edge of the paper. Cut out the focal area with your paper trimmer. Keep the background in tact. See video below for technique.

3- Cut a piece of Basic White Cardstock ¼” larger than the focal area you cut out. Layer the white piece behind the focal area.


4- Add the background piece to the center of the cardbase.

5- If you want to cut out extra design from an envelope you can add it to the background piece. I added the copper clay envelope at the bottom.


6- Add the focal area back over the opening with dimensionals.


7- Stamp your greeting on one of the labels from the kit in Copper Clay. Create a banner from the Mossy Meadow cardstock. Add the banner behind the greeting.


8- Wrap 12” of Linen Thread around the top or bottom of the banner, tie a bow. Add near the top of the focal point with dimensionals.

All Done!
