Simple Change For A More Unique Card - September 2025 Paper Pumpkin Alternative Card - Stampin' Up!

Welcome to Paper Pumpkin Week here on Creative Chelsey. Thanks for joining me today as I continue to share some beautiful card ideas you can make with the September 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit called Fall For Toile. The cards in this kit have beautiful brass foiling details and great die cut pieces and are perfect for this time of year.  The kit makes a total of 9 cards 3 of three different designs with coordinating envelopes.

For my fourth alternative card today, I am showing how you can transform a simple rectangle shape into something unique by cutting it in half and rearranging the pieces. This layout gives such a different look compared to the original card.

If you would like to watch me unbox the kit and make the original cards visit this playlist -https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL40dV1oxpkNlu37Z2ovKJhMCxYqu7J7Ru

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.

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.

1- Make sure to use the Cutting Guide (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1y3ZtqNfOvwrgObRzuZG32AxofBYORsvM/view?usp=sharing) to cut your pattern paper to the right size from the cardbases in the kit.

2- Cut the Cornfield Rectangle about where the fence begins at 1-7/8” on the left and 2-7/8” on the right.

3- Add these to the Brown Plaid piece switching sides, so the left is now on the right and the right is now on the left. The straight sides will meet with the straight sides of the Brown Plaid piece. There will be a gap between the two pieces.

4- Cut a flag / banner shape from the left side of the Tan Toile strip and add it about 1/2” from the bottom on the right side with dimensionals.

5- Add the Large Leaf with dimensionals just above the Tan Toile strip.

6- Stamp the Flying Geese in Early Espresso ink in the open space above the Cornfield.

7- Stamp your greeting in Cajun Craze on the White Label with the flag/banner on the left side. Adhere above the Tan Toile strip with dimensionals.

8- Stamp the Pumpkins in Early Espresso on the Masking Paper. Fussy cut it out right along the stamped line. This is your mask.

9- Stamp a Pumpkin image in Early Espresso ink on the Back Piece of an Envelope. Cover it up with the Mask. Then stamp Pumpkins again on the right side in Early Espresso ink. Remove the mask.

10- Color in the Pumpkins with your choice of Color Pencils. I used Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze & Daffodil Delight. Fussy cut out the Pumpkins and add them with dimensionals above the greeting.

All Done!

 

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