Surprise announcement on World Card Making Day!!! Get your orders ready, because Stampin’ Up! is offering FREE SHIPPING on qualifying orders for THREE DAYS, October 9, 10, and 11!
To celebrate World Card Making Day, I created a Fall card. Beginning with a Basic White Cardstock background, 4″ X 5 1/4″, I embossed it with the Leaf Fall Embossing Folder. After embossing, I glued it to a Mossy Meadow card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Leaves with Gold Veins
Next, I stamped leaves, from the Autumn Leaves Stamp Set, on Basic White Cardstock, in three colors of ink: Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, and Crushed Curry.
After stamping the leaves, I used their Autumn Leaves Die for cutting. I also cut the veins from Gold Foil Sheets, glued the veins to the leaves, and the stems to the card front, with Dimensionals beneath the leaves.
The sentiment, “Autumn teaches us that change can be beautiful,” is from the Autumn Leaves Stamp Set. I stamped it in Mossy Meadow Ink, used an Autumn Leaves Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. What a lesson Autumn can teach us!

This is my first card using the Autumn Leaves Bundle, and I’m loving the unusual dies that make tiny dots on the paper. I rolled each of them, three times, through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine on Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″. Then, I glued the layer to an Old Olive card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Autumn Leaves
When I need bright colors with texture, Masterfully Made Designer Paper is my “go to.” I used two Autumn Leaves Dies to cut leaves from three different colors, layered them on cardstock for thickness, and attached them with Dimensionals.
“Today & every day” is a sentiment from the Autumn Leaves Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock. To give the stamped sentiment dimension, I adhered it to an equal size of Foam Adhesive Sheet, and ran it though the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with its Autumn Leaves Die.
I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.

The Forever Forest Bundle has wonderful trees and mountains, and today’s card uses four of the dies. I cut the trees from Rose Gold Specialty Paper. Aren’t they pretty? The last photo shows how they shine.
Forest in Rose Gold
After cutting the trees, I used the Forever Forest, mountain die, to cut Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″.
Next, I embossed the two sections with the Snowflake Sky Embossing Folder. This was followed by cutting a piece of Earthen Elegance Designer Paper, 4″ X 3″, and gluing it to the back of the separated mountain layer. Then, I trimmed the layer to the original size of 4″ X 5 1/4″, and glued it to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
The snowdrift along the bottom was cut with a Reindeer Die from Basic White Cardstock, and glued in place.
“Tis the Season” is from the Brightest Glow Stamp Set, stamped in Copper Clay Ink, cut with the Double Oval Punch, and attached with Dimensionals.

The Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks is a hot selling tool, because of its ease of use and versatility. It is currently unavailable, but expected to be back-in-stock October 9th.
For today’s card I used three shades of purple for the flowers: Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, and Fresh Freesia. Using a Blending Brush, and holding the mask in place, I applied ink to Basic White Cardstock beneath the mask. Then, I used Paper Snips to fussy cut the flowers. The same method was used to color the leaves with Garden Green Ink.
Masked Flowers
After cutting the flowers, I used two masks to color the centers with Crumb Cake Ink and Pecan Pie Ink. The flowers and leaves were all attached with Dimensionals.
The background is Basic White Cardstock, 5 /14″ X 4″, embossed with the Stripes Embossing Folder, and glued to a Gorgeous Grape card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. This folder comes in a set of two, which you can see in my Product List below.
Prior to gluing, I stamped the sentiment in Blackberry Bliss Ink. “You’re wonderful. You’re loved. You matter.” is from the Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set.

This week’s Global Design Project is a fun sketch challenge. I decided to pair The Brightest Glow Stamp Set and Labels Aglow Dies (2023-2024 Annual Catalog) with Winter Meadow Designer Paper (September-December 2023 Mini Catalog).
The card base is Misty Moonlight Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. I topped it with Winter Meadow Designer Paper, 5 3/8″ X 4 1/8″, giving the DSP a 1/16″ border.
For the large, circle, I used a Labels Aglow Die to cut the DSP, making a bunch of tiny holes.
Merry & Bright
To make the holes shine, I used a Deckled Circles Die to cut More Dazzle Specialty Paper, which I glued to the back of the DSP, before gluing it to the card base. It’s very sparkly in person!
Next, I stamped “All is Merry and Bright,” from the Brightest Glow Stamp Set, in Shaded Spruce. After stamping, I used the smaller Labels Aglow Die for cutting, and placed it on Dimensionals.
Prior to attaching the sentiment, I cut two pine boughs from Winter Meadow DSP, with a Joy Of Noel Die, and glued them beneath the sentiment.
For a last bit of “bright,” I added three 2023-2025 In Color Dots in Moody Mauve.

Today’s card feature the third Santa from Traditions Of St, Nick Designer Paper, an Online Exclusive. He doesn’t have a Saint Nicholas Die for cutting, like the other two, but was fairly easy to fussy cut, and well worth it. Don’t you think?
St. Nick
For his background, I stamped a leaf and berry branch from the Joy Of Noel Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow Ink on Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″. I stamped it twice to form a 3/4 circle, and colored it with Stampin’ Blends in three colors: Mossy Meadow, Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler.
Next, I glued a strip (4″ X 1″) of Traditions Of St. Nick DSP across the middle of the card front. This damask patterned paper is so pretty, and adds to the vintage feel.
“Merry Christmas” is from the Ringed With Nature Stamp Set, stamped in Cherry Cobbler Ink. After stamping, I glued the layer to a Mossy Meadow card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, and attached St. Nick with Dimensionals.
I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.
