June 2025 Paper Pumpkin Alternative Card Idea -plus- Best Practices For Heat Embossing - Stampin' Up!

Welcome to Paper Pumpkin Week here on Creative Chelsey. Today I begin sharing beautiful Alternate Card Ideas you can make with supplies from the June 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit called Full of Charm.

The cards in this kit have beautiful floral images mixed with gold accents.  There are so many fun images to play around with and create a lot of alternative cards. The kit makes a total of 9 cards 3 of three different designs with coordinating envelopes.

This is the second alternative card I will be sharing with you this week. I love the touch of gold in the background and the blue and green leaves. If you need a refresher on Heat Embossing then keep watching. I have some great tips for you.

If you would like to watch me unbox the kit and make the original cards visit this playlist -  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL40dV1oxpkNkVAyXFAqFtnLYpeVtfUA6g

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. 

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 7-10 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.

Mossy Meadow Cardbase – 5 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”

Textured Gold Foil Cardbase – kit

Small Soild Floral & Leaves from the Large Floral Die Cut – kit

Pretty Peacock Cardstock – 1 ¼” x 1 ½”

1- Cut the leftover Textured Gold Foil Cardstock from the kit at 4” x 5 ¼” and distress the edges.

2- Stamp the Branch with Leaves images in Mossy Meadow ink to the right of center. I stamped twice with the bottom of the branches meeting together. This is where I will place the greeting. Add to the center of the cardbase.

3- Create a faux double bow with Crumb Cake Baker’s Twine in the center of the stamped images. I didn’t cut it off the roll, instead I just started with about 2” as one tail and wrapped it back and forth.

4- Heat emboss your greeting in White on the Pretty in Peacock piece. To get the best result use an Embossing Buddy first over the whole piece, stamp in VersaMark ink, add White Embossing Powder and remove excess. Hold the cardstock with Tweezers and Heat from underneath until shiny. Remove the excess Embossing Buddy powder left on the cardstock with a microfiber towel. Distress the edges and add with dimensionals over the center of the faux bow.

5- Look over the Solid Leaves & Flowers that were removed from the Larger Die Cut (alternative #1). Make sure the edges are smooth. Some under the greeting & bow add others to the top left & bottom right areas with dimensionals.

6- Add 3 Vanilla Swirl Dots.

All Done!

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