Wreath “JOY” Card Tutorial | Paper Pumpkin October 2025 Alternative Cozy Christmas | Stampin' Up!

Welcome to Paper Pumpkin Week here on Creative Chelsey! Thanks for joining me today as I share my last Alternative Card Idea you can create using the October 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit – Cozy Christmas.


Today’s card features a gorgeous layered Christmas wreath with bright red berries, fresh greens, and a bold “JOY” sentiment right in the center. I love how the different leaf shapes from the coordainting Abundant Joy Dies combine to create a full wreath that feels festive and cheerful. This alternative is perfect for using many of the leftover pieces from the kit!

1- Use the Cutting Guide to prepare all the pieces:

 2- Emboss the Basic Beige piece using any Embossing Folder. I used the Forever Plaid. Adhere to the center of the Basic Beige Cardbase.

 3- Stamp the greeting “TO THE WORLD” in Pecan Pie ink on the Crumb Cake piece. I stamped two at the top and three at the bottom. Lightly splatter with a coordinating Stampin’ Blend if desired.


4- Build the Wreath on the 2 ¼” Circle cut from the remaining Envelope pieces – I used the Circle of Season Dies. Alternate adding the Leaf & Fern Die Cuts around the circle with glue dots. I used my Silicone Craft Sheet so the adhesive doesn’t stick to my work surface.

Add to the center of the Crumb Cake piece with dimensionals. See video for more details.


5- Add the White Sprigs with glue dots at the base. Place them evenly around the wreath for a full, festive look.


6- Add the JOY Sentiment cut from Real Red Cardstock with Dimensionals. . Add a touch of Wink of Stella to the top.


7- Tie a Double Bow with 20” of Twine. I used a retired Gold Twine, but you can use any color.

Find the center of the twine and hold with your fingers. With one side create a faux bow (with out using adhesive). Repeat with the other side. Then tie a knot in the center. See video for details. Add to the top of the wreath with a glue dot.


8- Add Red Sequins around the wreath.

Optional: Add a Basic White panel inside for writing.

All done!
