Today I’m sharing a soft and magical holiday card I created using the Delicate Pines Bundle from Stampin’ Up!

Blessed to Have You in My Life – Featuring the Amber Autumn Bundle
During my most recent Facebook Live, I shared this cozy, fall-inspired card featuring the brand-new Amber Autumn Bundle from Stampin’ Up! Isn’t this the perfect bundle to celebrate the beauty of the season and the blessings of friendship?
For my card, I paired the Amber Autumn stamps and dies with the gorgeous Autumn Toile Designer Series Paper. The soft, earthy tones are just right for fall and pair beautifully with Early Espresso cardstock and ink. I love how the Forever Plaid Embossing Folder adds a bit of texture and warmth behind the focal image.

The sentiment “Blessed to have you in my life” takes center stage, accented with the Irregular Weave Trim and a few Streaked Dots for a rustic finishing touch.
Inside, I kept it simple with another heartfelt sentiment: “Grateful for You.”
Here are the measurements if you’d like to recreate this card:
-
Early Espresso Cardstock – 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″
-
Very Vanilla Cardstock – 4″ x 5 1/4″ (qty 2 – one embossed with Forever Plaid), 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ (Largest Stylish Shapes Circle Die), 1 1/2″ x 4″ (for words)
-
Autumn Toile Designer Series Paper – 2 1/2″ x 5 1/4″, 1/2″ x 5 1/4″
This card came together so easily and would be perfect to send to someone special this season. I always say—happy mail is the best kind of mail! ✉️💛
What do you think—will you be making some autumn cards this year with this gorgeous new bundle?

During my most recent Facebook Live, I had so much fun creating these two pretty cards featuring the Floral Charm Suite Collection. This suite is filled with gorgeous florals, coordinating dies, and the most beautiful designer paper that makes creating a breeze! I love how each card shows off the versatility of this collection—from the soft floral backgrounds to the bold die-cut accents. Whether you need a sweet “Hey” card to brighten someone’s day or a thoughtful “You Made My Day” card, the Floral Charm Suite has you covered!

I love the softess of this first card – and the color combination- pulled from the Designer Series Paper (DSP). Colors used are Berry Burst and Pecan Pie. The die cut flower set in front of the circles, creates a lovely focal point. The “hey” sentiment is lighthearted and fun! Who wouldn’t smile when receiving this card! The gems in this suite are equally as gorgeous – Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots – they really do shimmer! This card will go together quickly – just a few panels, a few punched circles and the flower. I have shared all the measurements in my LIVE, – along with my favorite ruler!
Next – if you are a blue lover, like me, this card is for you! I love the subtle DSP – the navy tone on tone, used in the background – and then the pops of color with the coordinating DSP. The large floral image in white, to me, is swoon worthy!
