Clean & Simple Floral Card You’ll Love | Paper Pumpkin Alternative for January 2026 Special Delivery Kit

Welcome back to Paper Pumpkin Week here on Creative Chelsey!

Today I’m sharing my fourth alternative card design created with the January 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit called Special Delivery.

This card has such a light, cheerful feel, and I love how the soft blue florals really stand out against the neutral grid background. It’s a simple layout that lets the floral image shine while still feeling polished and complete.

This design is great if you love stamping and want a card that comes together quickly.

If you recreate this card, be sure to tag me @creativechelsey or use #creativechelsey so I can see your version!

Below you’ll find the full step-by-step tutorial, measurements, and supplies so you can create along with me.
