Envelopes Make the Prettiest Cards - March 2025 Paper Pumpkin Alternative Card Ideas - Stampin' Up!

Welcome to Paper Pumpkin Week here on Creative Chelsey. Today I am sharing more Alternate Card Ideas you can make with supplies from the March 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit called Daisy Daydream.

The cards this month are so cute with images of Daisy’s and Cute little Bee’s. I also love the soft blue & yellows together. 


Today I am sharing two card ideas you can make from the envelopes in the kit. I love being able to use the gorgeous paper on these envelopes in unique ways.

If you would like to watch me unbox the kit and make the original cards visit this playlist -  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL40dV1oxpkNm1Myq6BdMg8plSrhWR7G27



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 or on my blog –
www.creativechelsey.com


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 8-10 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.

Card #1

Lost Lagoon Cardbase – 5 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”

Linen Thread – 10” & 6”

Honeycomb & Bee Flap Envelope – Kit

Blue Envelope or Cardbase Scraps – Kit

Medium Daisy Die Cut – Kit


1- Trim only the sides of the envelope, leaving the bottom intact. This will allow you to open the envelope and use the entire design for this card. Remove the Flap. Cut the rest to 4” x 5 ¼”, begin by cutting from the back side about 1” from the score line. Slide the paper down to 4” and cut again. Rotate to cut to 5 ¼” removing  excess from the blank side.

Splatter with Crushed Curry ink, I used a Stampin’ Write Marker.


2- Cut a ¼” x 5 ¼” strip from any scrap Light Blue piece and add over the score line. Wrap 6” of Linen Thread above this strip with the ends attached to the back.


3- From the Flap – fussy cut around all the images. 


Add the image with the Bee to the top right corner with a dimensional under the bee only. Add the Honeycomb image to the bottom right corner. Trim off excess paper. Add this to the front of your cardbase.


4- Cut a 3” x 3” piece from the back leftover piece of Blue Envelope and stamp your greeting in Lost Lagoon. Add to the card about 1” from the right side and ¾” from the bottom with dimensionals.

5- Tie a bow around the Linen Thread on the right side of the greeting.

6- Add a Medium Sized Daisy to the top right area near the greeting with a dimensional.

All Done!


Card #2

Lost Lagoon Cardbase – 5 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”

Linen Thread – 10”

Honeycomb & Daisy Flap Envelope – Kit

Blue Envelope or Cardbase Scraps – Kit

Daisies in a Row Die Cut – Kit


1- Trim only the sides of the envelope, leaving the bottom intact. This will allow you to open the envelope and use the entire design for this card. Remove the Flap. Cut the rest to 4” x 5 ¼”, begin by cutting from the back side about 1” from the score line. Slide the paper down to 4” and cut again. Rotate to cut to 5 ¼” removing  excess from one side.

2- From the Flap – fussy cut around all the images. Separate the center flower from the rest by fussy cutting all the way around it.


Add the other two flowers to the top right corner, overlapping to create a nice look. Trim off any excess. Add this to the cardbase.


3- Add the Daisies in a Row Die Cut with dimensionals along the bottom, hiding the score line.


4- Cut a 1” x 3 ¾” piece from a leftover piece of Blue Envelope and stamp your greeting in Lost Lagoon. Flag the right side. Add to the card just above the Daisies with dimensionals.


5- Tuck the Center Daisy you fussy cut above the greeting with dimensionals.

6- Tie a bow with 10” of Linen Thread and add to the left of the greeting with a glue dot.

All Done!
