Butterflies & Patchwork Background - Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin Alternative Card Ideas - April 2024

Hi Everyone and welcome to Paper Pumpkin Week here on Creative Chelsey. Over the past couple days, I have shared some great card ideas you can make with one set of supplies from this month’s kit. Today I am sharing with you my fourth alternative idea using the April 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit called Delicate Wings. If you would like to watch me unbox the kit and create the original cards or see any of my other alternative projects click on the playlist below.

This alternative card uses scraps from all three Cardbases to create a patchwork background for even more butterflies. I use a lot of fun techniques for this card and am excited to share it with you today.

Card #1

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

Basic White Cardstock – 4” x 5 ¼” & 1” x 4”

Moody Mauve Ink Pad

Lost Lagoon Ink Pad

Blending Brushes

Basic Gray Ink Spot (kit)

White Cardbase (kit) – 1 ¼” x 4 ¼”

Lost Lagoon Cardbase (kit) – 1 ¼” x 4 ¼”

Gray Cardbase (kit) – 1 ¼” x 4 ¼”

Envelope Flap (kit) – leftover pieces

 


1- Add Moody Mauve ink to the White Cardbase strip with a blending brush.


2- Cut each of the 1 ¼” strips (White with Moody Mauve ink, Lost Lagoon & Gray) into 1 ¼” squares. You should get 3 from each strip.


3- Blend ink around all edges on each square. Use the coordinating ink, Moody Mauve, Lost Lagoon, & Basic Gray. This will give a uniform look to all pieces.


4- Add one of each color in a row to the top of the 4” x 5 ¼” Basic White cardstock. They can be squared or at an angle. You will want to add them in this order – Moody Mauve, Lost Lagoon, Gray.


5- Add the next row at the bottom in this order – Gray, Moody Mauve, Lost Lagoon.

6- Add the third row just above the bottom row leaving a gap between rows 1 & 2. The order is Lost Lagoon, Gray, Moody Mauve.


7- Stamp your greeting in Basic Gray on the 1” strip. Add in the gap with dimensionals. Add everything to the cardbase with dimensionals. You can use a darker cardbase if you want.


8- From the leftover Envelope scraps, cut out three butterflies. You can make a whole butterfly by combining the two butterflies I have circled in the picture together, see video for more details.


To combine them, glue the separate bodies together.


Let dry, then fussy cut out as one butterfly.


9- Add the butterflies in the Moody Mauve sections with dimensionals. If they have a straight edge, you can hide it under the greeting or along a straight edge.

April 2024 & Past Paper Pumpkin Greetings! - Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin Alternative Ideas

For today’s alternatives I created three cards with the white cardbase. These cards use stamps from past paper pumpkin kits. I love holding on to these stamp sets as the greetings & images can be used for so many occasions. The stamp I chose are: “enjoy your day” from April 2023 All The Little Things, and “thanks” from March 2022 Beyond the Horizon.

Global Stampin' Video Hop - April 2024 **ROYALTY** YOU'RE A QUEEN - Use your products in unique ways

It is time for another tutorial for the Global Stampin’ Video Hop on YouTube. Each month on the fourth Friday Stampin’ Up Demonstrators from around the world come together and share their projects based on a monthly theme. April’s Theme is – Royalty. I am so excited to see what everyone creates this month.


This was kind of a hard theme for me since I don’t have any stamps that have the typical royalty themed images, so I had to get creative. Can you guess my train of thought for this card?  I knew I wanted to have Queen as part of my greeting so I used a couple fun products to create a unique sentiment, then I pulled in the heart images because I thought of Queen of Hearts. I am excited to share with you some of the fun techniques I used on this card in today’s tutorial.


I hope you are inspired today as you see all the Royalty Themed Projects from everyone while jumping from video to video. If you are inspired to make a project from something you see today please share it with us, we would love to see what you come up with. You can tag me @creativechelsey in any social media post.

Product List

 

Measurements:

Bubble Bath Cardbase – 5 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”

Berry Burst Cardstock – 4” x 5 ¼” & scraps for cutting out hearts

Bubble Bath Cardstock – scraps for greeting

Fresh Freesia Cardstock – scraps

Granny Apple Green Cardstock – scraps

Soft Sea Foam Cardstock - scraps


1- On the 4” x 5 ¼” Petunia Pop Cardstock – this will be the card front, add a little splattering with a Berry Burst Stampin’ Write Marker. Then add a couple little hearts from the Hooray For Surprises Stamp Set in Berry Burst ink.


2- Die cut two large hearts with holes using the Hooray For Surprises Dies in Petunia Pop Cardstock. I forgot in the video to add a little blending around each heart with Berry Burst ink. This will make them pop a little more from the front of the card. Add these to the center of the card front, one on top of the other.

3- Add Wink of Stella to each of the hearts for a little more pizzazz.


4- If you have one, use a White Gel Pen to add another layer of splatter to the background. Add this to the front of your Bubble Bath Cardbase.


5- Cut out 3 or 4 copies of Queen in Bubble Bath Cardstock with Adhesive Sheets on the back. I used the Playful Alphabet Dies (retired) but you can also use the Mini Alphabet Dies. Stack them together to make a thicker word.


6- Use a ruler to find the center of the card front and to help you add the letters in a straight line. Add them between the two hearts.


7- Find a stamp set that has “you’re” & “a” and stamp this on Bubble Bath Cardstock in Berry Burst ink. I used the Best Family Every Set. Trim down to fit greeting and add with dimensionals above Queen.


8- Cut out any extra dies or stamped images you want to add, I used the Large & Small Flower and both leaves from the Hooray For Surprises Dies in Fresh Freesia, Granny Apple Green & Soft Sea Foam Cardstock.


9- Add these in the bottom right corner & near the top left of the greeting. Add any little details with a White Gen Pen.
