Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin Alternative Card Ideas - April 2024 - Three Simple Cards You Can Make!

Hi, Everyone and welcome to Paper Pumpkin Week here on Creative Chelsey. 

Over the next couple days, I am going to share with you 10 card ideas you can make with one set of supplies from the April 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit called Delicate Wings.

The projects from this kit are beautiful with champagne foil details and dark moody colors. I also love the greetings that are in the stamp set. They are perfect for a thoughtful card.

This kit creates a total of 9 greeting cards 3 in three different designs. If you would like to watch me unbox the kit and create these cards click on the playlist below.

Today I am sharing with you my first set of alternative cards. I have made all three cards from one cardbase in the kit. These layouts are simple and can be used with any pattern paper, so if you didn’t get the kit you can easy replicate these designs with supplies you already have on hand.


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 or on my blog – www.creativechelsey.com
