Fun Fold Alternative Handmade Card Idea using the April 2021 Paper Pumpkin - So Cool - Stampin' Up


Welcome to Paper Pumpkin Week here at Creative Chelsey. For the next couple days, I will share a new alternative idea using the April 2021 Paper Pumpkin Kit – So Cool. The card I am sharing with you today was so fun to put together and has a fun fold using the original fun-shaped cardbases from the kit. So much fun – LOL!

Embossing Buddy or Baby Powder


1- Remove 1” from one side of the Pool Party Cardbase. So when you fold it in half there is an opening where the other cardbase can be attached.


2- Stamp “You Are So Cool” in Bermuda Bay randomly on the front of the card. Stamp a second time without reinking to create a shadow effect. (If your first stamp is stamped off the cardbase, you will need to reink and stamp off the cardbase, before creating the shadow effect) Tip – if you are using the Watermelon Cardbase the Pool Party cardbase fold should be at the top and opens from the bottom. When using the Rainbow Cardbase the Pool Party cardbase fold should be at the bottom and open from the top. Make sure to stamp the greeting so it reads the right way when on the cardbase. Watch the video below for more details.


3- Open and cut the envelope pattern to 1 ½” x 5 ½”. Add this to the bottom cardbase so you can see it when the card is open and closed. Add the Bermuda Bay strip to the edge of cardbase at the opening. 


4- Adhere the Watermelon or Rainbow cardbase to the inside of the Pool Party cardbase at an angle, so it can close over the stamped side of the Pool Party cardbase.


5- Decorate the front of the card with a sticker or two. If you want the popped up with dimensionals you can add some powder from an embossing buddy or baby powder to the back to remove the stickiness. 

6- Then stamp the greeting “hey there” in the circle die cut. Add a faux bow to the back of the greeting and attach with a dimensional on the Silver Starburst piece. Then attach to the card near the stickers. Add some rhinestones.

All Done!

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