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.

Scraps on my desk can be an inspiration sometimes. And today’s card came from those scraps. After cutting card stock for an upcoming class, I had quite a few strips to create with.
Stamp Set
This cute little pumpkin and mix of words sentiment are from the Choose Happy stamp set in the Annual Catalog. This set is one that has small images, like the pumpkin, that fit pretty much any time of year. As well as sentiments that can be created for any occasion. When I saw this set I knew I had to have it. The simple focal layer is cute and makes for a quick card.
The pumpkin is stamped using Early Espresso Ink. It is then colored using Pumpkin Pie and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends. The sentiment is two single words. They are also stamped with Early Espresso and then straight cut for the Fall and fussy cut for the Happy.
Papers
These papers were put together as an experiment and ended up being a happy one. The stripes were the pieces from the card class. They are 1/2 tall and were a couple of different lengths. I only had to cut a few extra once after I began layering them. They are adhered to a piece of Basic White and then the edges trimmed. To go along with the Fall theme, I thought the Mossy Meadow card base would be perfect to pair with Copper Clay and Wild Wheat.
Layers
To continue the simple theme, I went with Circle Punches for the focal layer. Granted the strips did take a minute. But they were an experiment and could have been a solid piece of card stock as well. The focal layer is two circle punches. They are the 1 3/4 and 2″ circles. I love punches for quick cards. These seemed to work perfectly with the small image and sentiment. And I finished it with one single Bling! It is the Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems. This one is the dark brown.

The Autumn Leaves Bundle has been a fabulous Fall and Thanksgiving “go to” for me. But I love the stamped images so much I had to carry it over for a Fall Birthday.
Leaves
The Leaves are the star of this card in my opinion. I actually did not use the Autumn Leaves stamp set, only the Autumn Leaves Dies were used. Two of the little oak leaves were die cut from Copper Clay card stock. I really love the detail the little dies have included. And then a large leaf was cut from Gold Foil paper. It really helps the gold in the papers to pop!
The sentiment layer is also cut using the sentiment die from the Autumn Leaves Dies. This shape is great for so many of the SU sentiments. And there is also one that is more square with similar details included. The sentiment itself is from the Translucent Florals stamp set. It is a simple and bold Happy Birthday.
Papers
The unusual color I pulled from the All About Autumn Designer Series Paper is Moody Mauve. I was surprised at how well I like this color here. And yes, I am sad to say the All About Autumn Designer Series Paper is gone for good. But as popular as it was, I am sure several of you have it to still use. And if not, there are lots of gorgeous DSP available that could be used with this layout.
The layout I used is one I came up with when looking through the DSP. I chose different papers to showcase and ended with these three and the layout. They are all from the DSP pack. Pairing the Crumb Cake and Moody Mauve was from looking at what seemed to be the dominant colors.
Finishes
The gold foil leaf was a surprisingly good choice to pop! Next came the placement of the two little leaves and they needed something to hold them together. The Bakers Twine was great for this. I made a double bow to stand out a little more. Then the Adhesive Backed Speckled Dots were scattered around the sentiment. And yes, they are gone as well.
Layout Measurements
Card base of Moody Mauve is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 scored and folded at 4 1/4
Crumb Cake back layer is 5 1/8 X 3 1/8 with wood DSP 5 X 3
Crumb Cake middle layer is 4 1/8 X 2 1/8 with leaves DSP of 4 X 2
Crumb Cake bottom layer is 4 1/8 X 1 5/8 with metallic DSP of 4 X 1 1/2

Stamps and Dies
This card is made with one of my favorite ever leaf sets. I love the shading of the stamped images in the Autumn Leaves set. And being able to add the veining, if desired, really takes it up a notch. For today’s card I opted to keep everything fairly simple. The leaves are stamped with Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze Inks. I added the veining with Basic Gray Ink.
To add a bit more dimension to the card, I die cut two of the small leaves from Old Olive card stock. And used the lovely frame also from the Autumn Leaves Dies. The sentiment is from the set as well and fits perfectly in the space. I am thrilled that this bundle is going to carryover for a bit of time.
Extra Definition
To add some extra definition to this card I used the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder. This one is in the Online Exclusives. It is a great leafy folder and could be used year round. By embossing on White card stock there is a softer look I believe. Plus adding the two die cut leaves adds to the texture also.
Papers
The card stocks used are a mix of what could be considered Fall colors. Old Olive is the card base as well as the focal layer base. But to add a bit of color, I opted to use Crushed Curry for the first layer. It helps to give the embossed White a bit of help, and also brings out the Crushed Curry leaf. I also used it to ground the sentiment . The white on white did not show at all well. But adding that little scrap strip of Crushed Curry was a perfect touch. And the final touch is the scattering of the Speckled Dot Adhesive Back embellishments.

The card I am sharing today is similar to one I did previously. It showcases the gorgeous All About Autumn Designer Series paper and Autumn Leaves stamp set.
Papers
The paper is by far the star of this card. It has been so popular and continues to be. The expected return date is October 9, so keep a check if you are interested. This layout is one I have done several times before. It is a regular side fold card with 1″ cut off of the right front opening. I love how this allows more of the gorgeous paper to show.
The front and strip are both part of the All About Autumn Designer Series Paper. But did you notice the leaves? They also are cut from the DSP. They really pop with the definition in the die cut. And to add some more of the bling from the paper, I used Gold Foil as the background for the sentiment.
Stamps and Dies
The Bundle used is the Autumn Leaves Bundle. I know SU has had some beautiful leaves bundles previously. But these have to be my favorite. And as I mentioned above, the detail in the die cut is awesome. As is the details in the label dies. There are three of those included in the dies. I used the smaller one and simply cut the Basic White to fit inside of it.
The sentiment is from the stamp set. It is definitely a favorite. I am Thankful for so many things, really everything, in my life and this allows me to share that with others. And to add just a touch more bling, I added a single gold from the Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems.

I know the Autumn Leaves paper is unavailable but it is returning. And this paper is so gorgeous that it can be used year round. The Autumn Leaves Bundle and all of the other Suite products are available now. So I have a really pretty card to share.
Stamp Bundle
The Autumn Leaves Bundle is a wonderful one! The leaves stamped have a two step look to them, which I love. My leaves are all stamped off before stamping on the Very Vanilla card stock. I wanted a softer look for the leaves. I have also stamped on scrap one of the Blackberry Bliss leaves and the two small green leaves. Those two are connected but I cut them apart for my layout. They give a bit of dimension to the card, especially with the one hanging over a bit.
The leaves all have matching dies. There are both solid and embossed dies for each leaf. And that great sentiment layer is one of the dies as well. I really like the indented corners and stitching around the edge.
Additional Suite Products
This card uses all products in the suite with the exception of the Oxidized Copper Specialty paper. I did use a small strip of the DSP, but you could use any color matching paper there. The stamped leaves panel was embossed using the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder. I love all of the texture of this embossing folder! We have had tile products before but I have to say that this is by far my favorite.
The other products from the suite I used are the Adhesive Backed Speckled Dots. There is a single one of the green on the sentiment layer. There was so much color and texture everywhere already, but that sentiment needed a touch of bling. And the final item is the Copper & Natural Ribbon Combo. I only used the copper ribbon. It is zigzagged behind the sentiment. The ribbon is very easy to work with and adds a great shine and color.
Papers
The paper choices were a problem because there were too many choices! I went with Blackberry Bliss as the card base. I love the deep purple leaves in Fall so I naturally gravitated to that color. It pairs great wit the Copper Clay layers and the touch of the Old Olive of the DSP strip.
The card is a little different from the normal. It is 5 1/2 X 7 1/2 and still scored at 4 1/4. This leaves the 1″ section on the right side for the strip of DSP. And it makes for a pop of pretty DSP without having to use a lot of it. I have a large card club and to only use a strip allows me to spread my paper a bit further. The same may apply when doing multiples of a card!
