Yesterday’s card was using a few stamps from the More Than Autumn Bundle. So today I have a complete card using this awesome creation. Additionally this one is a square card.
Stamps and Die Bundle
This card uses quite a lot of the stamp images in this set. And I love that there are matching Dies for most, plus a few more. Since I am not a big coffee fan, I went with Hot Cocoa instead of the coffee for my drink. The fact that there are several beverage names in the set is an added bonus. For the Cocoa I used Foam Adhesive Sheet added to the Pecan Pie card stock before Die cutting. It makes adding the dimension so easy! There are not Dies for the “&” or the doughnuts. I used a small circle punch for the “&” and fussy cut around the “doughnuts”. For the first part of this multiple sentiment, I kept it simple with straight cuts.
The doughnuts are stamped and colored using Stampin’ Blends in Pecan Pie and Peach Pie. Then cut using the matching Die. For the cocoa I stamped the cup onto a piece of DSP before Die cutting. The foam is stamped on Very Vanilla using Wild Wheat ink. Pretend that is a cinnamon sprinkled whipped cream!
Papers
The card base is Pecan Pie card stock measuring 8 1/2 X 4 1/4 to make a 4 1/4 square card. I wanted to be a little different on this one. With the more Fall colors, I opted to pair it with Very Vanilla instead of Basic White. I find I rarely use Very Vanilla and need to rectify that. That layer is cut to 4 X 4.
The DSP is an Online Exclusive. It is the Iconic Celebration Designer Series paper. This paper is fabulous. It has sheets that work for Fall, Winter, Christmas, New Year, and into Valentine’s Day. With a couple of more generic mixed in. It is a pack of 6 X 6 paper. Both of the DSP pieces are from this pack. This piece is cut to 3 X 3. Since it was cut smaller, I allowed the cocoa and the doughnuts to hang over the edge onto the Very Vanilla.
Finishes
This card is a pretty busy one. Because of that I was not really sure about the embellishments. I opted to go along with the Fall colors and went with a couple of colors from the Speckled Dots embellishments. The darker color is in the center of the cup and then two lighter ones around the sentiments.

Friday was our Anniversary and I made a fun and different Anniversary card. Actually it is cased, somewhat, from Mary Fish’s Friday card. Her use of the More Than Autumn Bundle hit a perfect note for my hubby’s card.
Stamp Bundle
This layout is a mix of Mary Fish’s card and me spilling glue! My direction went from portrait to landscape to cover that error. But it is a regular crafting thing right! I will explain why this was so perfect for an Anniversary, as you probably think it is out in left field. I love everything pumpkin! So my hubby jokes that in the Fall he become my second love while I indulge in pumpkin. LOL!!!
The More Than Autumn Bundle is one I keep using. It has a bit of everything. For this card I used less than usual. On the inside is a piece of pumpkin pie, but the front uses the “pumpkin” , “love you more than”, and then the heart from the die set.
Other Dies
The three layers with the pumpkin are from the Greetings of the Season Dies. These are amazing Dies! Even if you do not want or need more Christmas sentiments, the Die set is definitely worth having. Each one of the three tags has the tag hole. I just layered them to cover it.
The arrow Die with the rest of the sentiment is from the Adventurous Sky Dies. It fit the size of the words perfectly. And added another little layer. I have lots of small layers going on here.
Extras
To add to the layers, I felt like the background needed some texture. I did not want the card to seem just a pile of different colors. Well the Forever Plaid Embossing Folder fixed that little problem wonderfully! I know you can see the serious detail of the impressions. Sadly it is currently out of stock, but will be back the week of October 7.
To tie in with the Pumpkin I used the Peach Pie Ribbon for the top tag. And then added a simple bow using the Linen Thread. I felt the ribbon itself was a bit large to tie off on it’s own. Plus I just love Linen Thread! And the final addition is the bling. Although this does not have a very shiny touch. These are the Faux Glass Dots. There are a four different Fall colors that look like old glass. I love them, and they fit the card.

This is the second version of this “view” card I have made. You can see the other version HERE. It is such a great way to make a quick card, but to also show off gorgeous DSP paper and scenes.
Paper
As with the previous card using this layout, the paper is the star really. For this card I have pulled out the beautiful Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper. I loved this paper last Holiday catalog and was so thrilled that it was carrying over. Of course I had to grab another pack of it with the DSP Sale earlier. This card is great to make multiples of as it only takes a small piece of DSP. I cut the DSP to 3 X 2 3/4. And then cut it into 1″ strips. The hardest part is keeping the strips in the proper order when cutting for multiples. Ask me how I know that!!!
To compliment the DSP, I chose the gorgeous Misty Moonlight as the card base. I love the blue gray and how it really pulls the color from the DSP. For the scene layer I went with Shaded Spruce to stand out a little bit. Even though it is another darker color, it does stand out. And in my figuring out the sentiment part, I cut the background from Misty Moonlight, when it should also have been Shaded Spruce. Duh! I did correct it for my Club ladies.
Stamps
There are two stamp sets used on the front of the card. The first is the background stamp on Misty Moonlight. It is a texture look that is stamped tone on tone with Misty Moonlight Ink. That stamp is from the Lovely & Sweet stamp set. Small background stamps are great to have on hand for adding small touches like this.
The second stamp used is the Unbounded Love stamp set for the sentiment. It is a sentiment only stamp set. This is actually a Bundled set with Dies that fit all of the sentiments. The small sentiment is bold and with a jaunty font as well. It is a tad large for the Die, but it works. The Die cuts the outside ruffled edge as well as the inside in one cutting. So I layered the White and Blue and cut it one time. With the Basic White being a thinner paper it was not a problem at all. I have a little tip for adhering these together. Place the White inside the scalloped outer section. And place them face down on your table. Add Stampin’ Dimensionals in each corner so it overlaps the center and the outer section. Very easy and it holds well.
Finishes
To add bling to a darker card can be a little tricky. For the bling portion of the finish I added a single Iridescent Pearl. Then I had to use the new Natural Tones Linen Thread as the add on to the paper view. I chose the dark blue, probably a Night of Navy. This is a bit thicker than the regular Linen Thread but not so thick that it is difficult to work with.

I have another fairly tone on tone card to share with you. Yesterday’s card was a masculine one using Mossy Meadow. Today I have a fun generic one that stars Misty Moonlight.
Stamp set
This stamp set is one of the Fun ones in the Mini Catalog. I tend to gravitate towards whimsy and animals. So of course this one had to come to my house. It truly is a generic stamp set that is fun. I opted for the Hugs and Kisses but there is a Birthday that fits as well. And I love that it fits the 2 3/8 Circle Punch. Punches are a favorite of mine and I love when sets fit punches and Dies that we already have.
The tone on tone made color choices easy here. I stamped everything using Misty Moonlight Ink. I punched the circle first to get placement. Then I layed the top words, which are one stamp, and the bottom words, which are another stamp, on the circle. I could pick it up with the clear block and have my spacing perfect. Easy peasy!! The pup is stamped on scrap and fussy cut to pop up in the center.
Papers and Colors
The card base is Misty Moonlight, as was the ink used. And the DSP is from the Country Lace Designer Series Paper. Actually this Misty Moonlight sheet is the opposite side of what I stamped the trees on for yesterday’s card. This paper is very versatile!!
To keep this in the tone on tone, more or less…..I only added a thin white layer behind the DSP. But I did not want only the white focal layer. A quick and simple fix was to punch the same circle from Misty Moonlight card stock. It gives a sort of shadow look. The layers are 3 3/4 X 5 for the white and 3 5/8 X 4 7/8 of the DSP.
Finishes
To complete this card did not require very much. I looked at a variety of embellishments to even include ribbon. But nothing seemed just right. So I added a trio of the New Regal Foiled Adhesive Back Dots from the Mini Catalog. And I couldn’t be happier. The bit of gold fleck in the blue really shows off.

The Changing Leaves Bundle is my favorite of the current OnLine Exclusives. I have made a previous card using this bundle, but could not resist another one. The muted tones seem to help the leaves stand out very well.
Bundle
To say that these leaves are wonderful is an understatement. The details of the embossed image is so clear and interesting. This Embossing Folder is also a Hybrid. That means it is able to have a Die placed inside and cut out the largest mix of leaves. I did not use that feature, I simply love the embossing.
The Wild Wheat leaves are two Dies in the set also. Plus the sentiment layer with the stitching and rounded ends is great. The sentiment is a simple one that I love and is part of the stamp set. I think the card would bring a smile to anyone.
Papers
The card base is Wild Wheat, as are the extra leaves. I added the layer in Copper Clay and the banner behind the sentiment is too. To keep that simple I took a strip and simply flagged one end. For the main layer and sentiment Basic Beige was my choice. This new addition to our colors is quickly becoming a favorite. It pairs with almost any color.
Finishes
The embossed layer with the added 3D leaves are stand out enough really. But I wanted to give it a little more texture. My bling for this card is the Pecan Pie & Clear Ribbon Adhesive Dots. That is a mouth full for sure! But these embellishments are wonderful and add a little extra with the sparkle strips you can see inside of them.
Thank you for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Fun Folds are my favorite card to make and today is a twist on one of the most used fun folds. Plus it stars the fabulous More Than Autumn Bundle. This bundle is going to be available tomorrow when the Mini Catalog goes live. If you do not have a current demonstrator and need a catalog, reach out to me and I will be happy to get one to you.
Stamp and Die Bundle
The More Than Autumn Bundle really is more than just a Fall / Autumn set. It contains the coffee cup with whipped topping and sprinkles, mini marshmallows, donuts, pie, and fun sentiments. Plus a couple of the sentiments have matching Dies.
Today I stamped all of the images using Pecan Pie Ink. The donut and pie are stamped on the layer of Basic White. And the coffee is stamped on scrap paper along with the whipped topping and the tiny pumpkin. Everything is colored using Stampin’ Blends. The fun sentiment carries to the inside where I also added more of the sprinkles. Here is the two open views which allows you to see the Fun Fold.
The above view shows the second DSP on the flap as well as a peek at the inside. And the next one shows the fully opened card.
Papers
This fun fold card base is from Cajun Craze. The two DSP pieces are fairly dark, so I added a thin layer of Basic White to separate them from the Cajun Craze. Plus I think it helps the white focal layers to pop as well. The flap DSP is from the OnLine Exclusive Iconic Celebration Designer Series Paper. This pack has paper for any theme for the rest of the year, plus New Year and Valentines Day.
The speckled paper on the inside of the card is from the Annual Catalog. It is part of the To Market Designer Series Paper. One of the things I love about Stampin’ Up! papers is how they coordinate due to the colors being consistent throughout. I pulled the Pumpkin Pie as a darker color from the dotted paper. Where the stamped speckles are Peach Pie for a lighter image.
How To:
The card base begins with a piece of Cajun Craze measuring 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4. Next cut 2 1/8 off of one end. (I have used this 1/2 flap many times as a card base.) Now use the cut away piece and cut it in half. This leaves you a piece that is 2 1/8 X 2 3/4. Score one end at 3/4. This becomes the hinge for the focal layer. With the flap folded up at the bottom, add the hinge to the inside of the top. See the photos.
The inside layer is Basic White at 5 1/4 X 4. And the dotted DSP is 5 1/8 X 3 7/8. The stamped inside layer is Basic White at 4 1/4 X 3. For the flap the Basic White is 5 1/4 X 2 and the Iconic Celebration DSP is 5 1/8 X 1 7/8. The front focal area Pumpkin Pie measures 4 3/4 X 3 1/2. And the Basic White stamped layer is 4 1/2 X 3 1/4. To add this to the hinge, fold the hinge inward and add adhesive to the bottom 2/3 of the hinge. Place the Pumpkin Pie layers over the card and center on all four sides. By adding the adhesive to the hinge it takes the guesswork out of trying to figure out how and where to place adhesive.
