Today, I’m sharing two cards I made using Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and the Changing Leaves Bundle. This bundle has not been available for some time but it’s estimated to be back in stock the week of September 23rd! For the first card I used the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and for the second card I used the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder.
I started with a base of Fresh Freesia cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I embossed Basic White cardstock using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and then adhered it to the base.
Then, I cut another piece of Fresh Freesia and scored it at the halfway mark. Next, I cut my Spendid Autumn DSP and adhered it to the front of the smaller piece. I also cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and added a piece of the same Splendid Autumn DSP design I used for the front of the card. Sometimes I like to make this piece a little bit longer and then I can trim it off. I adhered it to the inside of the card. Edited to Add: I forgot the most important step! I adhered the smaller piece to the front of the card using Tear & Tape or some other strong glue.
I stamped the sentiment in Fresh Freesia ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Changing Leaves. I cut the sentiment out using the Changing Leaves Dies (these dies come with the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment and added it to the front of the card.
For this final card, I used the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder (a new product in the Mini Catalog).

I’m not a person who likes coffee, lattes or tea, but I do love a good cup of hot chocolate with lots of whipped cream, especially when I’m watching Hallmark movies. Sometimes I’ll add a Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark Square to my hot chocolate, too! We’re having anything but Fall weather where I live in Southern California, in fact, we’ve had triple digit temperatures this past week. We won’t see any relief until Wednesday (fingers crossed). Anyway, I’m wishing for Fall weather!
For my card today, I used the More Than Autumn Bundle, Take a Bow 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and Spotlight on Nature Dies. I didn’t realize until I had made my card that I used three different sets of dies. If you only have the Stylish Shapes Dies, there is a circle pretty close to what I used to put my hot chocolate on.
I started with Garden Green cardstock for the base of my card. Then I added a layer of Basic White cardstock with a piece of Take a Bow Designer Series Paper (DSP). Next, I stamped the cup onto Take a Bow DSP using Memento Ink, the whipped cream on to Basic White and I did another cup onto Real Red cardstock, using Memento Ink. I used the More Than Autumn dies to cut the whipped cream but the cups I used my Paper Snips to cut them out (if you use the dies, it will have a rim around it and for this card, you don’t want the rim). I only cut the center part out on the Real Red cardstock.
Next, I added an Adhesive Sheet to the back of my Real Red cardstock and cut the words “Hot Cocoa” out using my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the More Than Autumn Dies. I stamped a candy cane onto Basic White cardstock using Real Red ink and cut it out with the More Than Autumn Dies. I also stamped “Nothing’s Better Than” in Real Red ink onto Basic White cardstock and cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut a large circle out of Basic White cardstock using the Spotlight on Nature Dies.
Now on to assembly of the card. I made sure where I wanted everything to go before gluing it down. I adhered the circle to the front of the card. I glued the center of the cup in Real Red cardstock to the cup and then added glue to the lower portion of the whipped cream and adhered it to the cup. Then I added Stampin’ Dimensionals all over the back of the cup and adhered it to the circle. Then I added the candy cane to the center of the cup.
I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment and adhered it to the top of the card. Then, I peeled off the adhesive sheet on the back of “Hot Cocoa” and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White to the inside.

Today I’m sharing a card I made with Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper, Winterly Tree Tops Dies, Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder, and Earth Tones Shimmer Gems (all of these products are new!). I also used Blueberry Bunches stamp set and the Spotlight on Nature Dies.
I started with Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I added a layer of Cherry Cobbler cardstock and a piece of Nests of Winter DSP (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Next, I used the Spotlight on Nature Dies to cut a large circle out of Cherry Cobbler cardstock and a smaller one out of Basic White cardstock. I used the Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder to emboss the Basic White circle.
I adhered the Basic White circle to the Cherry Cobbler circle and adhered it to the front of the card. I used the Winterly Tree Tops Dies to cut the bird out of the Nests of Winter DSP (I love when there are dies that correspond to DSP). I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the bird and adhered it to the embossed Basic White cardstock.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Cherry Cobbler ink and the Blueberry Bunches stamp set. I cut it out using the same design that I used for the other two circles using the Spotlight on Nature Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it on the card. To complete my card, I added three Earth Tone Shimmer Gems to the front.
