Welcome to Creative Chelsey. Today, I am sharing my set of
cards made with the December 2025 Sheetload Of Cards Template created by Alicia,
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.
Find out how to *GET YOUR FREE COPY* of the December 2025 SheetLoad of Cards, here: https://youtu.be/BBMptpgonzc
With the PDF instructions Alicia provides you can make 6 Cards
with 3 sheets of 6” x 6” pattern paper. I used the Elegant Pine Snowflakes
designer series Paper from Stampin’ Up and love how all the patterns work so
well together.
I kept the cardstock color neutral so the pattern paper could
stand on its own and draw attention to the fun angles made from the cuts in the
template.
The Merry Christmas stamp is from the October 2025 Paper
Pumpkin Kit – Cozy Christmas. I wanted a bold Christmas Greeting and moved it
from the bottom of the card to the center.
I love making cards using the Sheetload Templates. I
think these cards are perfect if you are looking for some quick and cute
Christmas Card ideas. If you have never played around with the Sheetload of
Cards templates & cutting guides, make sure to check it out.
Welcome to Paper Pumpkin Week here on Creative Chelsey! Thanks for joining me today as I share my last Alternative Card Idea you can create using the October 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit – Cozy Christmas.
Today’s card features a gorgeous layered Christmas wreath with bright red berries, fresh greens, and a bold “JOY” sentiment right in the center. I love how the different leaf shapes from the coordainting Abundant Joy Dies combine to create a full wreath that feels festive and cheerful. This alternative is perfect for using many of the leftover pieces from the kit!
Every month, I create multiple alternative ideas using the Paper Pumpkin kit along with just a few basic tools. These projects are fun, simple, and great for both experienced crafters and beginners. You can follow along with supplies you already have or purchase anything extra from my online store. A full supply list is below.

It’s Paper Pumpkin Week here on Creative Chelsey—this is my last alternative idea from the Cozy Christmas kit! To see all my alternatives this month, visit the full playlist:
2- Emboss the Basic Beige piece using any Embossing Folder.
I used the Forever Plaid. Adhere to the center of the Basic Beige Cardbase.
3- Stamp the greeting “TO THE WORLD” in Pecan Pie ink on the
Crumb Cake piece. I stamped two at the top and three at the bottom. Lightly
splatter with a coordinating Stampin’ Blend if desired.
4- Build the Wreath on the 2 ¼” Circle cut from the remaining
Envelope pieces – I used the Circle of Season Dies. Alternate adding the Leaf
& Fern Die Cuts around the circle with glue dots. I used my Silicone Craft
Sheet so the adhesive doesn’t stick to my work surface.
Add to the center of
the Crumb Cake piece with dimensionals. See video for more details.
5- Add the White Sprigs with glue dots at the base. Place
them evenly around the wreath for a full, festive look.
6- Add the JOY Sentiment cut from Real Red Cardstock with Dimensionals.
. Add a touch of Wink of Stella to the top.
7- Tie a Double Bow with 20” of Twine. I used a retired Gold
Twine, but you can use any color.
Find the center of the twine and hold with your fingers.
With one side create a faux bow (with out using adhesive). Repeat with the
other side. Then tie a knot in the center. See video for details. Add to the
top of the wreath with a glue dot.
8- Add Red Sequins around the wreath.
Optional: Add a Basic White panel inside for writing.
Welcome to Paper Pumpkin Week here on Creative Chelsey! Thanks for joining me today as I share another beautiful Alternative Card Idea you can make with the October 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit – Cozy Christmas.
This card features a warm and rustic holiday look with layered greenery, soft textured stamping, and a bold “JOY” focal point. I love how the different foliage pieces from the kit combine with simple cardstock die-cuts to create a cheerful and dimensional Christmas design.
Each month I create several alternate projects using only the Paper Pumpkin kit plus a few additional basic supplies. They’re quick, fun, and perfect for all skill levels. A full supply list is below.
I also want to remind you of the creative perks my Paper Pumpkin subscribers enjoy each month. I design an exclusive card and mail out a card kit so they can make two of my designs using the included stamp set and ink spot. We also meet monthly to craft together, talk, and have fun!

Add Versamark ink to the top by pressing it into the ink pad (only do half at a time).
Add an even amount of Clear Embossing Powder and remove excess.
