Add Texture With Gold Tissue Paper & March 2023 Paper Pumpkin Kit - Stampin' Up! Alternative Handmade Cards

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 and last alternative idea using the March 2023 Paper Pumpkin Kit called Ten Years Of Growth.


This beautiful kit creates 9 handmade cards. There are enough supplies to make three of each card. 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 another card that uses the Gold Tissue Paper from the kit and some of the pieces you may have left over after making your cards.


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 last alternative this week. If you would like to see all my alternatives check out the playlist here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL40dV1oxpkNmRa3CHQJOjEI3s_XvrzBRi

March 2023 Paper Pumpkin Alternative Card Idea - Pop-Up Panel Variation - Stampin' Up!

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 second alternative idea using the March 2023 Paper Pumpkin Kit called Ten Years Of Growth.


This beautiful kit creates 9 handmade cards. There are enough supplies to make three of each card. 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 another variation to the original design for this card.  By separating the main bookshelf element with a dark border it gives my card a stepped up look. Also we will decorate the inside where the Shaded Spruce is covering the opening.


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.

1- Remove the Bookshelf from the cardbase with your Paper Trimmer. Keeping the cardbase open and flat cut ½” from the right edge. Starting the cutting blade in the center of the cardbase and moving up to ½” and down to 5” do not cut all the way through the cardbase.

Rotate the cardbase to the left and cut ½” from the bottom edge. Cut from the center to ½” and down to 3 ¾”.

Rotate to cardbase again to the left and cut near the score line by lining the left side at 3 ¾”. Cut from the center to ½” and down to 5”

Rotate to the left one last time so the top is on the right side of the cutting blade at ½”. Double check that you are not cutting too close to the bookshelf image. I had to adjust mine down just a little. Cut from the center stopping at the other two cut lines.

For step-by-step instructions see video below.


2- Add the Shaded Spruce Cardstock over the opening on the cardbase. To make sure you get exact placement. Lay the Shaded Spruce Cardstock in the center of the cardbase. Use washi tape to create a hinge at the top.


Lift up the cardstock and add a small line of glue along the edge of the Shaded Spruce. Then close the cardstock over the opening. Press firmly and then remove the Washi Tape. Open the card to make sure the glue hasn’t seeped out.


3- On the Bookshelf piece, stamp in Shaded Spruce the branch image on the right of the open area. Then add this piece to the center of the Shaded Spruce piece with dimensionals.


4- Add the Fresh Freesia Planter & one of the larger Branches with Gold Embossing to the same area with dimensionals.


5- Stamp your greeting in Polished Pink on the Banner Label from the kit and add it to the right of the plant with dimensionals.

6- Add some Gold Sequins


7- For the inside of the card, remove the flap from the envelope and cut down to about 2” x 3 ¾”. Add this to the bottom of the opening.


8- Add a small plant. I used the small pot with the bushy plant on the left.

9- Stamp “happy” and “birthday” in Polished Pink on some scrap Basic White Cardstock and fussy cut out. Add this over the seam where the papers meet.

10- Add some Gold Sequins if you want.

All Done!

Creative & Company Team Showcase - Kathleen Champion

 I am so excited to introduce Kathleen Champion @stampwithchamp as my Creative & Company Team Showcase Stamper for March. She wanted to work with the Lucky Clover Stamp Set.  Which is perfect not only for St. Patrick's Day, but anytime of the year. 


Here is her first set of cards:


I love how the colors she used on these cards make the stamp set so versatile. For both cards she used Dandy Design DSP and pulled her color combinations from the patterns. The first Good Luck Card has a fun fold design. 




For the bottom A Good Friend Is Like A Four-Leaf Clover Card she was inspired by the design in the January Key to My Heart PP kit. And used a masking technique to separate the sentiment for both the front and inside of the card. 






Here second set of cards have a St. Patrick's Day Theme:


I love how Kathleen used a touch of Gold on the top Happy St. Patrick's Day Card. Use tore the cardstock and then applied gilded leafing with a little liquid glue. Such a great a idea!



For the bottom Happy St. Patrick's Day Card she punched out a mask with the Lucky Clover Punch (sold out) and used blending brushes to add these soft shapes. 



I just love how they turned out - Thank you Kathleen for the great inspiration.


Here is the last set of card designed by Kathleen Champion with the Lucky Clover Stamp Set. I love how she used nontraditional colors with this stamp set & coordinating punch (Lucky Clover Punch - sold out).


She said that the inspiration for the top Sending Luck & Love Card came from a deck of cards. 


And that the bottom Good Luck Card is an extension of the first card with more colors, plus heat embossed gold shamrocks using the stamp. I love how she found inspiration in the little things around her.




Thanks again Kathleen for all the beautiful cards you created. So many great ideas on ways to use the Lucky Clover Stamp Set all year long!


Here are some of the products Kathleen used to create her cards. (this is not a full supply list)
Have a creative day,
Chelsey
