A Beautiful Fall Card with the All About Autumn Suite Collection

A Beautiful Fall Card with the All About Autumn Suite Collection

Create a beautiful card with the All About Autumn Suite Collection from Stampin' Up! 3
Yesterday on my Facebook Live I shared a beautiful card featuring the upcoming All About Autumn Suite Collection of products.  It is such a gorgeous suite and it sure gets me excited about fall!!   Here’s a look at the products in the suite:
I’m not sure which part(s) of this suite is my favorite – but I do love the DSP – it is amazing – and it is the focus of the card I’m featuring today.  The particular piece of DSP I used makes me think of walking down a sidewalk in fall – that is full of all the different colors of leaves!
Here is the recording of my Facebook Live –

The panel that the words are stamped on is part of the set – the crumb cake panel is from the Nested Essentials set of dies.  I burnished the edges of both with Moody Mauve ink and a blending brush – just lightly.

And here’s a peek at the inside of the card – I had a small scrap of the DSP left and so added that along with two small die cut leaves.
The only measurement really needed for this card is the DSP layer – it is cut 4″ x 5 1/4″ – the rest of the card is done with die cuts.

Are you ready for fall? I love fall – and there was a nice brisk feel to the air this morning!  YAY!

Video Tutorial – CASE the Catalog – Marvelous Nature Stamp Set

Video Tutorial – CASE the Catalog – Marvelous Nature Stamp Set

Create two cards using the Marvelous Nature Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! Laura Milligan
The Marvelous Nature stamp set really caught my eye as I first glanced through our new Annual Catalog!  I decided for this week’s Facebook Live to “case the catalog” – and share the beautiful samples that were pictured on page 106.

Here’s the recording- What do you think? I think these cards are beautiful!

For the first card, I used sponge daubers to add color to the large bird stamp – Azure Afternoon at the top and then Night of Navy on the bottom.  You could really use any color combinations with this technique!  So fun!  This panel was trimmed and off set above the bird image stamped onto a panel of Basic White with Pebbled Path ink.  I love the added texture/detail of the Radiating Stitches dies on the Crumb Cake panel.  If you have been waiting to order these dies – they are available again!

The next card started with a 4 1/4″ x 11″ Thick Basic White  –  the DSP starts with a 3″ x 4 1/4″ rectangle and is cut on the diagonal – you will have two pieces – one for this card and one for a second card.   I LOVE the new Natural 1/4″ Wavy Trim!!!  I added some embellishments with the new 2023-2025 In Color Dots.  Please watch the FB Live recording for a step by step guide on putting these cards together!
