The More Than Autumn Bundle is great for Fall, but it can also be used for Christmas. I began by doing some “paper piecing” on the cups with Iconic Celebrations Designer Paper. Using a peppermint pattern, I stamped two cups, from the More Than Autumn Stamp Set, in Memento Black Ink, and used Paper Snips to cut the cup wrapper. Then, I stamped two Cups in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock. After cutting the cups with their More Than Autumn die, I glued the wrappers in place. The whip cream was created by using a More Than Autumn stamp, Moody Mauve Ink (stamped off on Basic White Cardstock), cut with a More Than Autumn Die, and glued in place. The straws were stamped in Cherry Cobbler Ink, cut with their die, and glued to the whip cream.
Christmas Drinks
Next, I cut “Christmas” from Old Olive Glimmer Paper, backed with Basic White Cardstock, and placed on Dimensionals. “Merry” was stamped in Mossy Meadow Ink on Basic White Cardstock. The sentiments and dies are from the Peaceful Season Bundle, which you can see in my Product List below.
The background of trees is a pattern of Iconic Celebrations Designer Paper, 4″ X 5 1/4″, glued to a Mossy Meadow card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. To complete my peppermint card, I added three Adhesive-Backed Peppermints. Then three, small, gingerbread men hopped on. They were stamped in Early Espresso Ink on Basic white Cardstock, colored with a Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blend, and cut with a More Than Autumn die.

Today is World Card Making Day, and Stampin’ Up! is offering a FREE EVENT to everyone! It will be streamed on YouTube today, October 5, 2:00-3:00 Mountain Time. So, you can craft along, or simply enjoy watching.
Stampin’ Up! encourages all who view the event to post about it on social media using #SUWorldCardMakingDay2024. If you post with the hashtag, you’ll see your post appear on the event webpage as you watch the event!
Stampin’ Up! will be featuring Ephemera, which makes creating cards very simple.These popular, new, sets have sold out, but are being re-ordered. The Joyful Images Ephemera is scheduled to be back in stock the week of October 7.
I started today’s design with a Shaded Spruce card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Then, I layered it with Basic White Cardstock, embossed with the Snowflake Sky Embossing Folder. This embossing folder happens to be my Host Code Gift for the month of October. See below how to make it yours.
Joyful Images Ephemera
Next, I punched out the row of trees, and the gold star, from the Ephemera Pack, and attached them with Dimensionals. The sentiment, “love from our home to yours,” is from the Peaceful Season Stamp Set. I stamped it in Pretty Peacock Ink, used a Wonderful Thoughts Die for cutting, and glued it in place. To highlight the sentiment, I used the die two more times to cut Shaded Spruce Cardstock and Pretty Peacock Cardstock. This long, narrow die comes in handy!

When you have gorgeous designer paper, it takes very few products to create a quick & easy card. Splendid Autumn Designer Paper, 5 1/4″ X 4″, is featured on a Pecan Pie card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Isn’t it gorgeous? It was hand painted by a Stampin’ Up! artist.
Pumpkin Season
The words, “Pumpkin Season” are from the More Than Autumn Die Set. You can see all of the words in my Product List below. I used two of the dies to cut the words from Pecan Pie Cardstock, and glued them to the card front. To add something extra, I adhered three, Faux Glass Dots. Can you find them? Hint: they are blending in with the pumpkins:)

Stampin’ Up’s new year begins today, October 1st. Welcome to the holiday season! If you like treat boxes, you will love today’s project. Stampin’ Up’s new Book Treat Boxes (10 in a pack) are on page 27 in the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog.
Book Treat Boxes
The boxes were easy to cover in Sentimental Christmas Designer Paper. Sentimental Christmas DSP has a wonderful, vintage look to it, and was chosen by Stampin’ Up! for this year’s Product Giveback, to benefit children’s literacy. With each purchase of the Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! will donate $3 to organizations dedicated to the future of children around the world. We hope you’ll join us in making a difference this holiday season. Order #164209.
I used a Countryside Corners Die to cut the paper for the top of the box. The die that is 4″ wide fits perfectly. Then, I cut designer paper to continue covering the boxes. The back of the top is 4″ X 1″, the front and back of the box are 3 1/2″ X 1″, and the sides of the box are 2 3/4″ X 1″.
The box comes with score lines and tape, making it easy to fold and assemble. I used a Glue Dot under the flap, rather than sealing it permanently.

This week’s Global Design Project is a color challenge: Blackberry Bliss, Wild Wheat, and Night Of Navy. Fun, fun, fun! Thinking about the colors, I chose to work with the Regal Flora Bundle. I began by stamping flowers in Blackberry Bliss Ink, and sprigs in Wild Wheat Ink, on Basic White Cardstock.
Regal Fora Bouquet
After stamping, I used the Regal Flora Dies for cutting, and placed them on Dimensionals. For the background, I used the Forever Plaid Embossing Folder to give texture to Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″. This was glued to a Night Of Navy card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Prior to attaching the flowers and sprigs with Dimensionals, I used a Regal Flora stamp to stamp tiny dots in Night Of Navy Ink.
“Thanks” is from the Regal Flora Stamp Set, stamped in Night Of Navy Ink, and cut with a Greetings Of The Season Die. The dies in this set have holes, ready for making tags, and the sprig went right through the hole. After adding three, Purple Fine Shimmer Gems, my card was complete.
Now, it’s your turn to use the colors in our challenge. Look for all of the Global Design Project Designers on Facebook and Instagram. Share your design and tag #GDP465 to play along with this challenge. You could be chosen as the winner!

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.
