Fall pumpkin-themed card idea using Stampin' Up! All About Autumn Stamp Set and Dies

                  

  • Stampin' Up! All About Autumn Suite 
  • Join us 24 August for Paper Pumpkin Procrastinators Meetup
  • With Love & Gratitude September 2023 Paper Pumpkin Kit is specially-designed by Shelli 
This fall-themed card went together so fast.  I'm using one of my favorite's from the September-December 2023 Mini Catalog, the All About Autumn Suite, which includes the Autumn Leaves Bundle of stamps and dies, and the All About Autumn Designer Series Paper.  My color theme today is Basic Black, Copper Clay, Pecan Pie and Petal Pink.  I created leaf die cuts and a sentiment label using the Autumn Leaves Dies, and stamped a sentiment from the Autumn Leaves Stamp Set in Copper Clay ink onto the Petal Pink sentiment label.  I selected a pumpkin themed print from the All about Autumn 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper Pack, cut it into three 1" strips and matted them in Basic Black.  I used the remaining piece of Designer Series Paper on another card using a similar layout. The sentiment label on each card was positioned to show as much of the pumpkin images as possible.  Finally, I added 3/8" Copper Clay Textured Ribbon and a few Brushed Gold Metallic Dots to complete my card.  Fall colors are some of my favorite color combinations.  I can see using this for Fall greetings cards as well as Thanksgiving cards.  Customers can begin purchasing from the September-December 2023 Mini Catalog 6 September 2023.  Add this to your Wish List today!      

Fall-Themed greeting card using All About Autumn Designer Series Paper



The basecard for this card is Basic Black Cardstock.  Then I dry embossed a layer of Copper Clay Cardstock using the retired Leaf Fall Embossing folder.  I selected a pumpkin photo graph print from the All About Autumn 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper, cut it into 1" strips, and matted it on Basic Black Cardstock.

Next, I used the Autumn Leaves Dies to die cut leaves in Copper Clay and Pecan Pie another die to die cut a sentiment label in Petal Pink.   I used Glue Dots to attach the leaves to the back of the sentiment label.

I made a second card using the remainder of the Designer Series Paper from my first card.  The pumpkin images were different, so I placed my sentiment label, leaves and ribbon so that the pumpkin images showed up best.  I stamped one of the sentiments from the Stampin' Up! Autumn Leaves Stamp Set in Copper Clay ink onto the Petal Pink label and popped it up on dimensionals.  The two leaves each have a Dimensional as well.  I folded a 3/8" Copper Clay Textured ribbon, added it to my card, and then placed the sentiment and leaves over it.   Finally, I added a few Gold Brushed Metallic Dots to complete my card.
