Today I am sharing Paper Pumpkin Artisan alternatives for the September Kit, Autumn Abundance. My cards are featured in a video below.

Autumn Abundance Fun Fold

Card #1 Instructions:

To create the fun fold, cut Cajun Craze Cardstock 8 1/2” X 5 1/2”. Score on the long side, 3″, 6″, 7 1/4″, and fold (mountain-valley).

Cut a 5 1/4″ X 2 /3″ piece from the timber card base in the kit, and glue it to the middle section of the fun fold card base. Cut a 5 1/4″ X 2 3/4″ piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock, and glue it to the inside of the fun fold. Decorate this with leaves from the kit, leaving space for a personal note.

For the top piece, use the 4″ X 8″ card base from the kit, cut the same size Cajun Craze Cardstock. Glue them together, and burnish the fold at 4″. Glue the bottom of the front, and the majority of the back to center of the fun fold card base. Be careful not to glue where there is open space.

Stamp “sending Autumn wishes your way,” from the kit, with the Cajun Craze Ink Spot, on Very Vanilla Cardstock. Use a Spotlight On Nature Die to cut the sentiment, and glue in the center of the circle. 

Attach the snail, mushroom, and leaves (ephemera from the kit) with Dimensionals. For some sparkle, add three Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins.

For the inside, cut Very Vanilla Cardstock, 5 1/4″ X 2 3/4″. Glue in place, and decorate with ephemera from the kit.

Card #2 Instructions:

Begin with a card base of Pecan Pie Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Layer with Basic White Cardstock, cut with the largest Deckled Rectangles Die.

Prior to gluing, use kit ephemera as a stencil, coloring randomly with Blending Brushes and four colors of ink:  Pecan Pie, Cajun Craze, Wild Wheat, and Copper Clay. Use the “throw away” border pieces from the kit as stencils, as well as stamps from the kit to add leaves and sprigs.

The sentiment, “with thanks,” is from the kit, stamped in Pecan Pie Ink on Basic White Cardstock. Use a Deckled Rectangles Die for cutting, and attach it with Dimensionals.

For the inside, glue Basic White Cardstock, cut with the largest Deckled Rectangles Die. Stamp two leaves from the kit, with Cajun Craze Ink from the kit, and your card is complete.
