Cozy Fall Card Ideas With Stampin’ Up! Favorites Past & Present!

Hi, crafty friends! Fall has officially arrived and there’s no better way to celebrate than with some creative ‘me’ time!

In this week’s tutorial, I’m sharing eight fall card ideas made with Stampin’ Up! favorites—both past and present—that are easy to recreate. These simple yet beautiful cards are designed for you to craft with confidence, as you make handmade cards to share with those you love.

FAVORITE FALL CARD IDEA: PRESENT

What better way to show off the versatility of the new Christmas Greenery Stamp & Die Bundle than a cozy card for autumn?! This is sooo much more than just a Christmas set! It’s part of the Traditions of Christmas Suite that will be showcased with project ideas throughout October.

TUTORIAL – FALL CARD 1

What I love! We’re only using one cardstock color (can be any fall color you have), one die and classic favorites: Gold Foil Sheets and Embossing Folders! A few fall ink pads and watercolor paper finish the project with an oh-so-simple technique that makes you look oh-so-artistic!

CUT & PREP (Width x Length)

• Cardstock for Card Base: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″
  • On Paper Trimmer, score on long side at 4-1/4″, burnish fold with Bone Folder.

• Cardstock for Embossed Layer: 3-1/4″ x 4-1/2″
  • Place on the diagonal inside the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder and run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (or similar)

• Cardstock for Sentiment: 3-1/4″ x 1/2″
  • Rub cardstock with powder from Embossing Additions Tool Kit, stamp sentiment [Beautiful Butterflies] with Versamark Ink, sprinkle liberally with Gold Embossing Powder, tap off extra and melt with Heat Tool on High. Trim, as needed.

• Gold Foil Sheet: 3-3/8″ x 4-5/8″
  • With large large leaf die from Christmas Greenery, cut one leaf from center on Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (or similar)

• Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper: 5″ x 7″ (see photo below)
  • Liberally apply water to the entire sheet of watercolor paper.
  • Choose 3-4 fall ink colors. Apply ink in splotches with a large Water Painter… nothing fancy, you’re just trying to add a mix of colors to the entire sheet. It’s okay if the colors run into each other. Allow to dry or make dry with the Heat Tool.
    • Colors shown: Blackberry Bliss, Old Olive, Crushed Curry & Cajun Craze
  • With large leaf die from Christmas Greenery, cut (1) per card (the sheet is large enough to cut 3 leaves).

ASSEMBLY

• Adhere gold foil rectangle, centered on card front (minus the leaf:)
• Add the embossed cardstock layer, centered on foil.
• Adhere the gold foil leaf slightly off-center and to the left. Add the watercolor paper leaf on top, slightly offset to the right and down a little… have the stems cross at the bottom.
• Tie a bow with Linen Thread, adhere with a Mini Glue Dot where the stems cross.
• Adhere sentiment with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals over the center of the bow

SAVVY SUBSTITUTION TIP: These are my Thanksgiving cards, but they’d also be fantastic cards for masculine fall birthdays, with a simple sentiment switch!
