A More Masculine Card Design - September 2025 Paper Pumpkin Alternative Idea - Stampin' Up!

Welcome to Paper Pumpkin Week here on Creative Chelsey. Over the past couple days, I have shared some great card ideas you can make with the contents in this month’s kit. Today I am sharing with you my fifth alternative card ideas using the September 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit called Fall For Toile.

This card design has a masculine touch. I don’t make a lot of masculine cards and as this card came together I really had to step out of my comfort zone to not over do it. I love the simplicity and that is uses up the scraps I had leftover from my previous card designs.

If you would like to watch me unbox the kit and make the original cards visit this playlist -https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL40dV1oxpkNlu37Z2ovKJhMCxYqu7J7Ru

Each month I take the contents from the paper pumpkin kits and make alternative projects. My cards are easy to follow and can be made by both experienced or new paper crafter. You may need just a couple other products to complete them. You can follow along with me using supplies you already have or purchase any products you see me use from my online store. A full supply list is below.

I also want to mention the amazing perks you can receive when you subscribe to Paper Pumpkin with me as your demonstrator. With every Paper Pumpkin Stamp Set & Ink Spot sent, I design a card and mail out my very own card kit to my subscribers so they can make two of my exclusive card design. These cards so fun and show new ways to use stamps & ink. We also meet once each month to make the card together, chat & have fun.

*PLUS I have joined with other Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators to design 7-10 more alternative ideas in a PDF Tutorial (includes photos & instructions). My subscribers receive this PDF Tutorial along with an Exclusively Designed Card Kit, all for FREE! If you would also like to receive this extra perk, sign up for paper pumpkin using the link below and make sure to select me as your demonstrator.

1- Make sure to use the Cutting Guide (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1y3ZtqNfOvwrgObRzuZG32AxofBYORsvM/view?usp=sharing) to cut your pattern paper to the right size from the cardbases in the kit.

2- Place all three Leaf Stamps on one Clear Block and stamp in Cajun Craze along the left edge of the Cardbase. You will want about an 1-1/2” of stamped area.

3- Add the Tan Toile Strip along the folded edge of the cardbase. Adhere the Brown Plaid piece to the right edge. There will be a 1/2" gap between the two pieces and you should see your stamped leaves in this space.

4- Distress the inside edges of the Pattern pieces if you want.

5- Stamp your greeting in Cajun Craze in the top half of the White Linen Texture piece. Distress all edges if you want and add to the Brown Plaid area with a little less than 1/2" border on the right side.

6- Fold the Ribbon in half and adhere to the open space on the White Linen Texture piece. Add the Tan Circle over the Ribbon.

7- Stamp the Acorn image in Early Espresso ink and color with Colored Pencils. I used Cajun Craze, Early Espresso and a little Crushed Curry. Fussy cut out and add in the center of the Tan Circle with a dimensional.

All Done!

 

I have also created a video walking you through each step.
