To My Valentine Handmade Card - January 2023 Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin - Key To My Heart - Alternative Idea

Welcome to Paper Pumpkin Week here at Creative Chelsey. I love getting my Paper Pumpkin Kit every month and creating fun alternative projects using the supplies in the kit. Today I am sharing my fourth alternative idea using the January 2023 Paper Pumpkin Kit – Key To My Heart.

This kit comes with everything you need to make 9 Valentines Day Theme Greeting Cards, 3 in three different designs. This kit is filled with so many fun images & patterns. I like how the lock & key idea is unique and different than the typical Valentines Hearts.

What I like to do is use the supplies in the kit along with some other products and create different or alternative projects. Today I am sharing with you this quick monochromatic card. I love the little touches of gold mixed with the soft purple Fresh Freesia Color.

If this project inspires you to create something, I would love for you to tag me in any social media post using @creativechelsey | #creativechelsey or email me at chelsey@creativechelsey.com.

It is Paper Pumpkin Week here on Creative Chelsey. This is the first alternative this week. If you would like to see all my alternatives check out the playlist here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL40dV1oxpkNmLe3LGMiRAXl4fVePLfSnp

1- Trim either an envelope or the Fresh Freesia Crosshatch Cardbase to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”.

2- Heat Emboss your greeting in White Embossing Powder in the upper right corner of the angled Fresh Freesia piece from the kit. Make sure to use Embossing Buddy to keep the powder from sticking to other areas.

3- Add more depth to the left side of the angled Fresh Freesia piece by blending with a Blending Brush more Fresh Freesia ink. You can also add a little over the greeting to make it pop.

4- Layering the angled Fresh Freesia piece on the Crosshatch design about ¾” from the bottom with dimensionals. Place it so the top left corner meets with the left side of the card front and trim off the overhang. Add this to the front of the cardbase.

5- Add the Vellum Strip about ¼” from the bottom of the Fresh Freesia piece.

6- Heat Emboss two keys in Gold Embossing Powder on some white cardstock. Make sure to use Embossing Buddy to keep the powder from sticking to other areas. Fussy cut out. Use a hole punch (3/16”) to remove the area inside the top of the key.

7- Add the Key to the Lock:

(1) Cut a slit at the top of the key. Slide the key onto the lock. 

(2) Use a small glue dot on the back of the key to cover the slit. Add a small piece of paper over the glue dot.

(3) Trim off any overhang. 

(4) Repeat on the second lock & key.

8- Add these locks to the left side of the Fresh Fressia piece with dimensionals.

9- Add Gold Sequins if you want.

1- Cut and adhere the pattern paper to the front of the cardbase.

2- Stamp one of the scenes from the In The Country Sale-a-bration Stamp Set in Stazon Ink a little above center on 3 ½” x 4 ¾” coordinating color cardstock

3- Wrap the bottom of the color cardstock with 13” of ribbon and tie a knot on the left side about ½” from the bottom of the stamped scene. Add this to the card front on the right side with dimensionals.

4- Stamp the floral image from the Queen Bee Stamp Set (Mini Catalog) in Stazon Ink on matching color cardstock scrap.

5- Color with Watercolor Pencils. I used White, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green. To get a more vibrant color you can dip the tip of the pencil in water. Then color as normal. This activates the watercolor element of the pencils making the color bolder. I only used this technique with the White Pencil. Let dry & cut out with coordinating dies. Add it to the left side of the stamped scene with dimensionals.

6- Stamp the greeting “HELLO” from the Happy Labels Stamp Set (Mini Catalog) in Stazon on White Cardstock and cut out with the label die from the Queen Bee Die Set (Mini Catalog & Bundled with Stamp Set). Add the greeting with dimensionals above the ribbon in the center of the color cardstock rectangle piece.

7- Cut out three flowers and two leaves with the Queen Bee cut and emboss dies. Tuck the leaves underneath the stamped flowers near the greeting. Color the white flowers in the center with a little Daffodil Delight pencil (no water). Add them near the leaves.

8- Splatter a little White Craft Ink on your card by mixing ink with a little water. Use a Water Painter to mix and then tap over the card.

All Done!
