May 2023 Exploring In Color Paper Pumpkin Kit - Two Alternative Card Ideas - One Simple & One WOW!

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 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 cards. The first we will create together has a simple layout and uses only an extra cardbase, while the second card is a stepped up version with more layers, distressing technique, splattering and clear embossing to give the stamped elements a shine.


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 first alternative this week. If you would like to see all my alternatives check out the playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL40dV1oxpkNnijjo8uFo56QSgDG_NEuHq

Card Prepping

1- Cut the Bison Cardbase in half at 4 ¼”. With the back piece, cut 1” from the top. Cut this into two ½” x 4 ¼” strips.

2- Cut the leftover 4 ¼” x 4 ½” piece in two 2 1/8” x 4 ½” pieces.

3- Cut the Moody Mauve strip in half the long way.

 



Simple Card

1- Stamp your images in three coordinating colors, I used Moody Mauve – mug, Boho Blue – compass, & Pebbled Path – boot. Fussy cut out.

2- Stamp your greeting in Copper Clay and trim down.


3- Layer the ½” sky strip on the left side of the scenery piece. The total width of the two pieces will be around 2 ½”. Add to the left side of the cardbase with about ½” border with dimensionals.


4- Adhere one Moody Mauve strip with the angled edge on the right side. Add the greeting with dimensionals over the strip.


5- Add the three stamped images above the greeting with dimensionals. You can cover the Bison if you want.

6- Tie a bow with 10” of Linen Thread add under the right bottom corner of the greeting with a glue dot.

 



Wow Card

1- Distress the Copper Clay piece with a bone folder. Watch video below. Add to the left side of cardbase at a slight angle.

2- Layer the ½” sky strip on the left side of the scenery piece. The total width of the two pieces will be around 2 ½”. Add to the center of the Copper Clay piece at an angle with dimensionals.


3- With a Stampin’ Write Marker add splatters in the top left and bottom right corners. See video.


4- Stamp your images in three coordinating colors, I used Moody Mauve – mug, Boho Blue – compass, & Pebbled Path – boot. To give them a shiny look, add VersaMark ink over the entire image. Sprinkle on Clear Embossing Powder, remove excess, and heat until melted and shiny. Fussy Cut out.


5- Stamp your greeting in Copper Clay ink. To give it an embossed look, immediately add Clear Embossing Powder, remove excess, and heat set. Trim down.


6- Adhere one Moody Mauve strip with the angled edge on the right side. Add the greeting with dimensionals over the strip.

7- Add the three stamped images above the greeting. You can cover the Bison if you want.


8- Tie a bow with 10” of Linen Thread add under the right bottom corner of the greeting with a glue dot.

 

All Done!
