Leftover Die Cuts Make The Cutest Cards - Alternatives for the May 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit - Stampin' Up!

Welcome to Paper Pumpkin Week here on Creative Chelsey. Today I am sharing my last set of alternatives cards ideas you can make with supplies from the May 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit called Mountain Majesties.

The cards in this kit have beautiful mountain scenes. The kit makes a total of 9 cards 3 of three different designs with coordinating envelopes.

These cards use up the last pieces from the kit. I love trying to find new ways to use paper pumpkin kits and sometimes the last are always the best!

If you would like to watch me unbox the kit and make the original cards visit this playlist -  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL40dV1oxpkNn5ahdYBdt92pbTIg2OGPFb

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 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.

Brown Hills Card

Thick Basic White Cardbase – 5 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”

Crumb Cake Cardstock – 3-7/8” x 5-1/8”

Basic White Cardstock – 1 ½” Circle

Lost Lagoon Envelope (front) – Kit

Old Olive Cardstock – scrap for die cut

Smooth Hill Blue Vellum – Kit

Brown Hill – Kit

Mossy Meadow Vellum Hill – Kit

1- Trim the Lost Lagoon Envelope Front to 3 ¾” x 5”. Trim the Blue Hill Die Cut to 3 ¾”. Add the Soft Blue Vellum Hill about 1” from the top of the Envelope piece.

2- Stamp the Flying Birds image in Misty Moonlight above the Blue Hill.

3- Trim the Brown Hill to remove the area we used for a past alternative. It should be about 1-3/8” from the tallest point. Trim the length down to 3 ¾”. Add below the Blue Hill.

4- Trim the Mossy Meadow Vellum Hill to 3 ¾” and add below the Brown Hill with about ¾” space of Lost Lagoon Envelope showing at the bottom. Add everything to a piece of Crumb Cake Cardstock that is 3-7/8” x 5-1/8”. Add this to the center of the cardbase with dimensionals.

5- Cut a Fern Die Cut from the Merry Tags & More Dies in Old Olive Cardstock. Separate each “branch” so you can straighten out the “trunk”. Trim off the bottom to be flat and add to the right side of the card so the bottom edge matches with the bottom edge of the Mossy Meadow Vellum piece.

6- Stamp your greeting in Misty Moonlight on a 1 ½” Circle in Basic White Cardstock. Create a double faux bow on the back with about 18” of Linen Thread. Add to the left of the Old Olive tree with dimensionals.

7- Cut a couple Leaves from the Hugs Abloom Dies in any green or brown die cuts leftover from the kit. Tuck them behind the greeting.

All Done!

 

 

Pink & Yellow Flowers Card

Thick Basic White Cardbase – 5 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”

Misty Moonlight Cardstock – 3-7/8” x 5-1/8”

Flirty Flamingo Cardstock – ¼” x 3 ¾”

Daffodil Delight Cardstock - scraps

Petal Pink Envelope (front) – Kit

Angled Blue Vellum Hill – Kit

Lost Lagoon Hill – Kit

Large White Greeting Label – Kit

Small White Greeting Label - Kit

1- Trim the Petal Pink Envelope front to 3 ¾” x 5”.

2- With one Night of Navy Stampin’ Blend Marker draw lines that mimic the shape of the Blue Vellum Hill.

3- Add the Blue Vellum Hill on top of the Lost Lagoon Hill with about ½” showing of the Lost Lagoon Hill at the bottom. Add this to the center of the Petal Pink Envelope piece.

4- Adhere a ¼” strip of Flirty Flamingo Cardstock across the bottom of the Blue Vellum piece and trim off any over hang. Add everything to the Misty Moonlight 3-7/8” x 5-1/8” piece and then to the Cardbase with dimensionals.

5- On the Large Greeting Label stamp “I Love You” in Petal Pink ink all the way down. Use the ink pad to add a little distressing on the sides.

6- On the Small Greeting Label stamp “I love you” in Flirty Flamingo in the center. Angle the ends and add to the center of the Large Label.

7- On the Back of the Greetings add 12” of Flirty Flamingo Baker’s Twine in a faux bow. I like the look of it frayed so I separated some pieces, but you don’t have to if you don’t want it. Add everything to the card on the right of center with dimensionals.

8- Cut out some leaves with the Hugs Abloom Die Cuts from any leftover blue or green pieces from the kit. Envelope flaps are best for this. Tuck them behind the greeting.

9- With a small flower punch or die cut, cut out 3 flower from Petal Pink Envelope paper (any leftover pieces will work). You can add more color by tapping them in Petal Pink or Flirty Flamingo (or both) ink pads. Use a Stylus to add dimension (see alternative cards #1 - https://creativechelsey.blogspot.com/2025/06/add-beautiful-floral-elements-to-your.html) Add these around the greeting.

10- Cut out three small circles with a large hole punch and add them to the center of the flowers. Add 3-5 Rhinestones.

All Done!
