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.

Everyone knows I love the cute animals that the Stampin’ Up! Designers create. I have used one of those sets for a sweet birthday card to share with you. A smile and a hug are good things on your birthday.
Stamps
This is a one stamp set card, which I comment on all the time. It is nice on occasion to simply pick everything from one set. This Hearts & Hugs stamp set has adorable huggable animals and sweet matching sentiments. The simple sentiment is perfect for this rather large Hug! So why not use it. Right!!
The walruses are stamped with Gray Granite ink and then colored using both Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends. I tried to add different shades of the gray in their bodies to give a more natural look. Playing around with the Blends in my coloring is something I really enjoy. One day I may get it to a good spot.
Dies
The large walruses were a challenge to decide how to frame them. Then I remembered the Nested Essentials Dies. This was a perfect fit! I called this shape the oblong diamond. LOL!! I am not sure what it is actually called but it remind me of that. These are the two largest of this shape. They fit the card as well as the image. Since the sentiment was much smaller, I was not able to use the flag dies included in the Die set. So I made my own layered flag by clipping the white layer, adhering to the Night of Navy, and then clipping the Navy layer to match. It is not perfect, but close enough.
Papers
The card base was chose to match the walruses. It is Smoky Slate cut to 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 and folded at 4 1/4. I added the thin layer of Basic White at 5 1/4 X 4. And then this fun piece of DSP is 5 1/8 X 3 7/8. The papers needed to be larger due to the size of the image.
The wonderful blue plaid DSP is from the Take To The Sky Designer Series Paper. It seemed a great match for the images by adding a bright color without being too busy. Of course the Night of Navy layer came from this paper.
Finishes
There are not a lot of finishes needed or really room for them. So I kept it simple and added a trio of bling. This time I went with the Adhesive Back Sparkle Gems. These are a trio of basic colors. I used the silver sparkle. There is also a gold and a black sparkle gem in this pack. It is a good one to have for masculine cards especially. Plus they are flat embellishments as well.
Thank you for stopping by today!! I hope you have a fun weekend.

The Christmas sets in the Mini Catalog are all fun and beautiful. But I do have a favorite. The Humble Home Bundle is such a simple and sweet set that it gets my Top Pick rating.
Stamp Bundle
The Humble Home is just a cute stamp set with a matching punch. Punches are my preference for quick cards and this one is great. I kept this card fairly simple on the stamping so it would be a quick one. There are a couple of sentiments in the set. And this one is my favorite.
The sentiment is stamped using Garden Green Ink as I wanted a bright green to match the DSP. And the house is stamped with Real Red Ink. The gingerbread trim is colored with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend just for an added touch. Plus if you look closely you will notice a little silver door knob. In place of bling, I added this silver pearl for the door knob. This is an addition that would be easy to make any color to match your colors simply by coloring a pearl with Stampin’ Blends.
The house is stamped onto the Basic White. I debated on punching out the house and raising it, but opted for this flat one. However I did utilize the punch to get the adorable heart in the upper corner. Having a separate heart is always handy for a multitude of card projects. Now just to remember it!!
Dies
The Bundle may include a punch, but I still used a Die. Just to give a little added texture, I cut the Basic White rectangle out using the Deckled Rectangle Die set. This size is the 4th largest of the Dies. There are a lot of them to choose from!
Papers
The card base is a basic Real Red base. However I added a lot of bright and fancy with the DSP layer. These Christmas light strings are from the Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper. This paper screams Christmas in a wonderful way. Just looking at these lights makes me smile. And that is what card making should be all about. That and having fun !
