Welcome to September! Today’s card is giving you a sneak peek at new products in the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog. You’ll be able to order from this catalog on September 4th, so not long to wait!
The Splendid Autumn Designer Paper is gorgeous, and I began by cutting one “painting” into three sections, 3 1/2″ X 1 1/2″. Then, I backed the DSP with Basic White Cardstock, 1/8″ larger, giving the sections a 1/16″ border. The three sections were then glued to a Boho Blue card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Nothing’s better than Fall
Next, I used a More Than Autumn die to cut the words, “nothing’s better than,” from Textured Metallic Specialty Paper. After cutting, I glued this to the top section. Then, I used a More Than Autumn stamp to stamp “Fall” in Crushed Curry Ink on the middle section.
For some sparkle, I added three Gold Textured Adhesive-Backed Dots, also in the new catalog.

For today’s blog post, I’m sharing my Creative Artisan Project, designed with the Changing Leaves Bundle. The bundle has unusual leaves that includes a hybrid embossing folder.
Changing Leaves
The first card is a fun fold. The Crumb Cake card base is 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, scored at 2 3/4″ on each end and folded to the center. Use your Bone Folder to insure the ends meeting evenly in the center. Cut two “doors” from Pecan Pie Cardstock, 5 1/8″ X 1 7/8″. Layer with Crumb Cake Cardstock, 5″ X 1 3/4″, and Country Woods DSP, 4 3/4″ X 1 1/2″. Glue one “door” on the right side of the card base, and one “door” on the left side, making sure the borders are even. Be careful to glue only the half that attaches to the card base.
Next, I decorated the “doors” with leaves, cut from Full Of Life Designer Paper with a Changing Leaves Die. The sprig was cut from Pecan Pie cardstock with a Changing Leaves Die. I doubled the leaves with cardstock for thickness, glued them in place, and added Adhesive-Backed Textured Dots on each “door,” as hinges.”Thank you” is from the Changing Leaves Stamp Set, stamped in Pecan Pie Ink, cut with a Changing Leaves Die, and attached with Dimensionals. I completed the inside with Basic White Cardstock, 5 1/4″ X 4″, stamped with “I couldn’t have done it without you,” and die-cut leaves.
The second card has a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, layered with Pecan Pie Cardstock, 3 7/8″ X 5 1/8″. The top layer is Basic White Cardstock, 3 3/4″ X 5″, embossed with the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder.
The leaves were stamped in Real Red Ink, Pumpkin Pie Ink and Crushed Curry Ink on Basic White Cardstock. After stamping, I used a portion of the large, Changing Leaves Die to cut the leaves, and attached them to the card front with glue and Dimensionals (the stems and some of the leaves were glued). The sentiment, “You are amazing in every single way,” was stamped in Pecan Pie Ink, cut with a Changing Leaves Die, and attached with Dimensionals. Cascading Champagne Iridescent Dots, adhered with tiny dots of glue, was the final detail.
All of the supplies used to create the two projects are in my Product List below.

Pumpkins are my favorite thing about Halloween, so let’s fill a shopping cart with them! The shopping cart was created with Attention Shoppers Dies and a Foil Sheet. Isn’t it cute? I love how it can be filled with many different things, but today it’s pumpkins!
Pumpkin Shopping Cart
The Pumpkins are from the Choose Happy Stamp Set, where I used the pumpkin stamp as a “reversible” stamp. I stamped the outline in Pumpkin Pie Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and colored it by “stamping off” Pumpkin Pie Ink on the reverse side of the stamp. Then, I used Paper Snips to fussy cut the pumpkins, glued them to the inside of the shopping cart, and placed it on Dimensionals. The jack-o-lantern on top had his face “carved” with Memento Black Ink, and a Choose Happy Stamp. You should see all of the cute images and words in the Choose Happy Stamp Set! It’s in my Product List below.
The background is Basic White Cardstock, cut with the second largest Perennial Postage Die, and embossed with the Dashing Designs Embossing Folder. This layer was glued to Flowering Zinnias Designer Paper, cut with the largest Perennial Postage Die. Both layers were glued to a Highland Heather card base. “Happy Halloween” is from the Playful Ghosts Stamp Set. I stamped it in Memento Black Ink, used the smallest Perennial Postage Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals.

Welcome to the August 2024 Fun Folds Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators. We’re so glad you stopped by, and we hope to inspire you with our creations today! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from blog to blog.
For this month’s blog hop, I created a simple fun fold card with one of my favorite, new, designer papers, Splendid Autumn. It will be available September 4th! I started with a Gorgeous Grape card base, 8 1/2″ X 4 1/4″, scored at 3″. The 3″ fold is the front, which I covered with Splendid Autumn Designer Paper, 2 3/4″ X 4″. The same floral paper was used for the inside, 5 1/4″ X 4″, and a solid purple, 2 3/4″ X 4″, to back the card front.
Splendid Autumn Fun Fold
Spotlight On Nature Dies were used to cut circles from the Splendid Autumn DSP. I backed the front, floral circle with Gorgeous Grape Cardstock, and glued it in place. For the circle inside, I used solid gold designer paper, added glue to the back, matched it to the front circle, and lowered it in place.
The sentiment is from the Layers Of Beauty Stamp Set. I stamped “Grateful for you” in Blackberry Bliss Ink on solid purple designer paper, and used the smallest Spotlight On Nature Die for cutting. Then, I backed it with cardstock, and attached it with Dimensionals. For added detail to the front, and inside, I used a Cheerful Daisies die to cut sprigs from Textured Metallic Specialty Paper. I’ll be writing a personal note inside, and sending as a Thanksgiving card.

Today’s card is a sneak peek of one of my favorites in the new, September-December 2024 Mini Catalog, the Regal Floral Bundle. I love the “Distinktive” stamps, and used four of them to stamp the flowers and greenery in three colors of ink: Pretty In Pink, Poppy Parade, and Mossy Meadow. Then, I used their Regal Floral Dies for cutting, glued them together, and placed the bouquet on Dimensionals.
Regal Floral Sneak Peek
Next, I used the Regal Floral Die, a rectangle with two rounded corners, to cut Country Lace Designer Paper. This paper is on sale now, but only until August 31. See the details below. I remembered seeing this shape in the Wonderful Thoughts Dies, so I used that for the sentiment. I stamped “thanks,” from the Regal Floral Stamp Set, in Smoky Slate Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and placed it on Dimensionals.
The interesting, white, die-cut piece was also created with a Regal Floral Die, which I glued to the Basic White Cardstock layer, 4″ X 5 1/4″. This layer was glued to a Pretty In Pink card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Prior to gluing, I used a Regal Floral Stamp to stamp Smoky Slate Dots. I added three, Smoky Slate Pearls as a finishing touch.
I was inspired by Susan Wong’s creative design. Look for all of the Global Design Project Designers on Facebook and Instagram. Have fun “CASEing” Susan, then share and tag #GDP460 to play along with this challenge.

Here is a second sneak peek of the Sweetest Star Bundle. After I made the card with the Santa, I HAD to make one with the Gingerbread Man! He didn’t even require coloring; just cut him with the Sweetest Star Punch from Pecan Pie Cardstock. For his “frosting,” I stamped with VersaMark, sprinkled White Embossing Powder, and set it with the Heat Tool.
Gingerbread Men
The background is Basic White Cardstock, 3 3/4″ X 5″, given texture with the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder. This is layered on Take A Bow Designer Paper, 4″ X 5 1/4″, looking like peppermint sticks. Both layers are glued to a Real Red card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Next, I cut the greenery with a Sentimental Wishes Die from Take A Bow DSP, and glued it in place. Then, I stamped the sentiment in Real Red Ink, and used a Peaceful Season Die for cutting. “Baking spirits bright” is in the Sweetest Star Stamp Set. You’ll be able to order all the new products on September 4.
The last detail was adding Peppermint embellishments to the Gingerbread Men. Yummy!
