January 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit - Hearts For You - Quick & Easy Simple Card Idea - Stampin' Up!

Welcome to Paper Pumpkin Week here on Creative Chelsey. Today I begin sharing fun Valentine’s Day card ideas you can make with supplies from the January 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit called Hearts For You.

The cards this month are so cute and really easy to make with beautiful textures and foil accents.   If you would like to watch me unbox the kit and make the original cards visit this playlist -  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL40dV1oxpkNmWbQHZrcm9aXxWqpVvFSAC


I am starting this week with one of my simpler designs. I love how the large Marbled Heart Die Cut stands out against the deep red background. Plus a simple trick to getting this scalloped edge look. 


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 8-10 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.

If you are interested in getting your own paper pumpkin subscription, please use this link to subscribe -  https://www.paperpumpkin.com/en-us/sign-up/?demoid=2042902

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

Petal Pink Cardstock – 3/8” x 3”

Real Red Cardbase – Kit

White Cardbase – Kit

Flirty Flamingo Marbled Heart Die Cut – Kit

3 White Hearts in a Row - Kit

Real Red Linen Thread – 8”


1- Cut the Real Red Cardbase in half at 4 ¼”. Save one half for a future alternative card. Adhere the other half to the front of the Thick Basic White Cardbase.

2- Add the Flirty Flamingo Marbled Heart to the center with dimensionals.


3- With the 3 White Hearts in a Row, remove two hearts from each keeping 6 hearts together and cutting the 6th heart to look like a finished heart – curved into the one next to it.


4- Stamp your greeting on the Petal Pink Strip in Real Red ink. Flag the ends.

5- With the 3 – two hearts rows, trim off the point at the bottom and then add behind the greeting strip so the hearts create a scallop along the bottom edge. Add this to the center of the Flirty Flamingo Marbled Heart with dimensionals.



6- Cut the White Cardbase in half at 4 ¼”. Save the front with the hearts for another alternative card. on the back, stamp the Small Solid Heart in Flirty Flamingo ink and the Small Branch in Real Red ink and fussy cut out. Add to the top right side above the greeting with a sliced dimensional. Add the Branch to the left side of the heart with a glue dot.

How To Slice A Dimensional: I do this by placing one dimensional behind the heart, while holding the heart between a finger and a thumb take a pair of paper ships and cut it horizontally so it is about half the depth. Add adhesive to the foam and stick where you want it. You can save the other side for another project if you want.


7- Create a faux bow with 8” of Real Red Twine and add under the right side of the greeting.

All Done!

 




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

February 2025 SheetLoad of Cards - Quick and Easy Cards with Storybook Moments Specialty Paper from Stampin' Up!


Welcome to Creative Chelsey. Today, I am sharing my set of cards made with the February 2025 Sheetload Of Cards Template created by Alisha, of Call Me Crafty Al. Every month on the first she creates great templates which she shares on her YouTube Channel. You can get your template from her channel, the link is in the CREATIVE TEAM playlist link below.





Make sure to also see what everyone has created this month.

See the CREATIVE TEAM PLAYLIST here:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOjF4zwVYrxmmyTURuoyPntCYtdaJDUDy

 




With the PDF instructions she provides you can make 6 Cards with just 2 sheets of 12” x 12” pattern paper. I wanted to play around with the new Storybook Moments Specialty Designer Series Paper. This paper is so fun! It comes with 10 sheets of pattern paper – 2 of them have these great sections which I used for my middle area background, and 2 sheets of Die Cuts that coordinate perfectly with the colors and images in the paper. It was really fun to mix and match all the products in this pack to make these cards.

 




Along with the paper I also used the Spring Celebrations Mix & Match Ephemera Pack for the greetings on each card. I love how this made it so easy to put together these cards. I actually did no stamping at all!

 




I finished the cards with a little bow make from Linen Thread and added a couple of these Swirl Dots embellishments. I think they add the perfect touch.

 




I love making cards using the Sheetload Template. I think these cards turned out so cute. I can’t wait to share them with my friends and family. If you have never played around with the Sheetload of Cards templates, make sure to get more information on the changes & grab your favorite templates, by clicking on the link below.
