Creative Chelsey: The Perfect Way to End Paper Pumpkin Week 🌷 | Paper Pumpkin Alternative for January 2026 Special Delivery Kit

Welcome back to Paper Pumpkin Week here on Creative Chelsey!

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

This card felt like the perfect way to end the week—soft, elegant, and full of spring vibes. I paired the kit elements with die cut tulips from the Beautiful Blooms Dies to create a layered focal point that feels fresh and timeless.

The tulips add beautiful dimension and movement while still blending seamlessly with the Special Delivery kit colors and patterns.

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