I can't stop looking at today's card!  Stampin' Up! has outdone themselves with their color combinations and stamps and dies for this fall.  I've been a little stand-offish about the new In Color in May, but I realize now that the In Colors for 2023-2025 are perfect Fall colors.  Combined with new Designer Series Paper s from the September - December 2023 Mini Catalog, these new products make my heart happy.  Today's I'm again using the Autumn Leaves Stamp Set and coordinating dies.  White the All About Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper would have also been a great choice, I found a beautiful copper print in the O Holy Night Designer Series Paper pack that I though would work perfectly for this card.  My main color combinations were Copper Clay and Petal Pink, I also used Pecan Pie, Wild Wheat, and Crumb Cake.  I used the Autumn Leaves Stamp Set to stamp leaves in Pecan Pie with Copper Clay stems on the Petal Pink Panel.  I cut a scalloped Vellum piece to give the card a "frosted" touch, and then layered small die cut leaves using the Autumn Leaves Dies to surround my sentiment label.  I stamped one of the sentiments from the Autumn Leaves Stamp Set in Copper Clay ink onto a Petal Pink label.  I used some of the 1" Metallic Copper Ribbon from the Copper & Natural Ribbon Combo Pack under my sentiment label, and used a few Copper Brushed Metallic Dots to complete my card.  I love the warm, fall colors these color combinations create, and I can't wait to begin mailing cards to friends and family using the All About Autumn Suite.  My customers have begun receiving their copy of the new Mini catalog this week and will be able to begin ordering from the new catalog 6 September 2023.      

Fall-themed greeting card using Stmapin' Up! Autumn Leaves Stamp Set and Dies



The basecard for this card is Copper Clay Cardstock.  Then, the card front is almost entirely covered by a copper print from the O Holy Night Designer Series Paper Pack.  I left the left edge of the card show a thin border of the Copper Clay Cardstock, just because I love the rich color of Copper Clay.  Then, for my image layer, I used a layer of Petal Pink Cardstock, matted with Copper Clay.

Next, I used the Autumn Leaves Stamp set and stamped several sizes of leaves in Pecan Pie Ink, and then added veins of Copper Clay i nk to the centers of the leaves.  Then I die cut a piece of Vellum cardstock using a scalloped rectangle from the Scalloped Contours Dies, a Petal Pink sentiment lable, and several small leaves using dies from the Autumn Leaves Dies.  I cut the leaves rom Copper Clay, Pecan Pie, Wild Wheat, and Crumb Cake Cardstock.  To assemble my card, I wanted to ensure that I could adhere my Vellum Cardstock layer without any glue or glue dots showing.  So, I assembled the leaves and ribbon behind my sentiment label, then layered this as a single piece onto the Vellum Cardstock scalloped die cut, and then added glue on the Vellum Cardstock layer only behind the leaves and sentiment label and gems.

I stamped one of the sentiments from the Stmapin' Up! autumn Leaves Stamp Set in Copper Clay ink onto the Petal Pink label.  This is another die from the Autumn leaves Dies.  The 1" Metallic Copper Ribbon I used is from the Copper & Natural Ribbon Combo Pack, and I added a few Copper Brushed Metallic Dots to complete my card.
