Hi Everyone and welcome to Paper Pumpkin Week here on Creative Chelsey. Thanks for joining me today as I continue to share some beautiful card ideas you can make with the October 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit called Nest Of Christmas.

The projects from this kit are beautiful with colorful leaf designs perfect for this time of year. The kit creates a total of 9 greeting cards 3 in three different designs.

This is the second set of alternative cards I will be sharing with you this week. These two cards use the beautiful Navy & Green Foil Paper as beautiful backdrops to the bird die cuts. It gives these Christmas cards just the right amount of elegance.

Card #1 – Happy Holidays

Shaded Spruce Cardbase – 5 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”

Real Red Cardstock – scraps for greeting

Green Frame Cardbase – Kit

Small Bird & Branches Die Cut – Kit

Red Ribbon – Kit

White Baker’s Twine – 10”


1- Separate the Green Frame from the Navy & Green Foil Branch Panel at 4 ¼”. Then separate the Navy from the Green Panel at 4 1/8”. Cut the Green panel also to 4 1/8” by removing the scored edge. Cut the Green panel to 4” x 4 1/8”.


2- Cut out a large circle in the center of the Navy & Green Foil Branch Panel, I used the largest circle from the Spotlight On Nature Dies. If you want a little white showing along the edges, use a tool to remove the top layer of color from all the edges. Be careful when you distress around the thin areas of the frame.


3- Temporarily place the Green 4” x 4 1/8” behind the open circle frame to get an idea where you should stamp the Branch image, on the left top & bottom right areas in Shade Spruce. Make sure to give room for the Bird & Branches Die in the bottom right area. Then remove the Green piece from behind the circle and Stamp.

4- Adhere the Green piece behind the open frame.


5- Fold the Real Red Ribbon in half and add a little adhesive to the back, add it to the upper left corner of the Navy & Green Foil Piece. Lay 10” of White Baker’s Twine across the top of the Ribbon and use a Stapler to hold the Twine in place at the top of the Real Red Ribbon. Then tie a bow.


6- Add the Navy & Green Foil Piece to the center of the Cardbase with dimensionals. Then add the Small Bird & Branches Die Cut to the bottom right area with dimensionals.

7- Stamp your greeting, I used “Happy Holidays” on Real Red Cardstock. Make sure to use an Embossing Buddy before stamping with VersaMark. Apply White Embossing Powder, remove excess, and heat to set. Fussy cut out and add to the center of the Bird & Branch with dimensionals.

 


Card #2 – Merry Christmas

Pool Party Cardbase – 5 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”

Pool Party Cardstock – scraps for Die Cuts

Real Red Cardstock – scrap for greeting

Navy & Green Foil Piece – Circle

Pool Party & Navy Pattern Leftover Cardbase – Kit

Green Frame Leftover Cardbase – Kit

Medium Bird with Small Branch Die Cut – Kit

White Baker’s Twine – 20”


1- Trim off one long edge from the Green Frame at about ½”. Add this to the bottom of the Horizontal Pool Party Cardbase.

2- Separate the Pool Party & Navy Pattern Cardbase near the score line, at about 4 1/8” for each pattern. Then put the patterns together and cut both at 1 ½”. So you have 4 pieces, one 1 ½” and one 2 5/8” in both patterns. Place the 1 ½” Pool Party piece above the Green Strip on the Cardbase. Save the other pieces for another alternative.

3- Add the Large Circle from the Navy & Green Foil Pattern a little to the left of center with dimensionals.


4- Cut out two Branches from the Merry Tags & More Coordinating Dies in Pool Party Cardstock. Add these in an “L” shape in the left area of the large circle. Add the Bird & Branch Die Cut to the center of the Pool Party Branches with dimensionals.


5- Stamp your greeting, I used “Merry Christmas” on Real Red Cardstock. Make sure to use an Embossing Buddy before stamping with VersaMark. Apply White Embossing Powder, remove excess, and heat to set. Fussy cut out and add to the right of the Bird & Branch with dimensionals.


6- Take 20” of White Baker’s Twine, cut it in half at 10” and tie a double bow. Tuck it under the greeting on the right side. Add as many White Snowflakes with small glue dots around the card.
