Yesterday, the monthly card class met via ZOOM. Even though it’s virtual, it is fun to be able to continue creating together with others. One of the cards from the class features products from the Gilded Autumn Suite Collection. I’ve titled the card “Falling Leaves & Acorns” since the title describes the design of the page of paper for the background layer. Perfect for creating fall themed cards is the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper. It’s a beautiful paper collection. The Beautiful Autumn Bundle from the suite includes the Beautiful Autumn Stamp Set and the coordinating Autumn Punch Pack. Woohoo – the punch pack coordinates with the leaves and acorns in the specialty designer series paper. Y’all know I love it when a punch or die coordinates with the designer series paper!
Card Materials and Details:
• Cajun Craze cardstock: 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and folded at 4-1/4″ to create the card base.
• Mint Macaron cardstock: 5-1/4” x 4” for Layer 1; strip for embossing 3-3/4” x 1-1/4”
• Layer 2: Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper and pieces for punching leaves & acorn
• Very Vanilla cardstock: 1” x 3 1/4” for label; 5” x 4-1/4” for interior
• Punches: Autumn Punch Pack & Lovely Labels Pick a Punch
For the sentiment use the Beautiful Autumn Stamp Set and Cajun Craze Classic Stampin’ Pad. Use the Greenery Embossing Folder to texture emboss the 3-3/4″ x 1-1/4″ Mint Macaron strip. Cut 3 equal pieces of Linen Thread and tie into a small bow to embellish the sentiment label.
NOTE: The next ZOOM card class is September 21, 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. EST. Drop me an email if you’d like to attend and I’ll send you the details.

In my last post, photos of the Gilded Autumn Suite from the August – December Mini Catalog were shared. So for today’s post, I am sharing one of the cards I have made using products from the suite. There’s much to like in this suite but the Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper is absolutely gorgeous! The elegant designs in earthy colors and papers with copper and gold foil make it difficult to decide which side of the paper you want to use. Even better, is that some of the images can be cut using the Autumn Punch Pack. Combine the designer series paper with the Beautiful Autumn Bundle, add the Acorn Trinkets and the Basket Weave & Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack and you’ve got lots to use for designing Fall card and projects.
For my project, I am using three designs from the Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper. Notice how well the different patterns blend together? The Mint Macaron, Cajun Craze and Early Espresso combine to provide a beautiful color scheme.
Recreating the card:
Card base is Cajun Craze cut 5-1/2″ x 11″, scored at 4-1/4″ and folded.
The Gilded Autumn Designer Series layers are: 5-1/4″ x 4″, 5-1/4″ x 1-1/4″ and 2″ x 3-1/2″. Add the layers to the card base using Stampin’ Seal.
Stamp the sentiment from the Beautiful Autumn Stamp Set onto a 3/4″ x 3″ strip of Very Vanilla cardstock using Cajun Craze Classic Stampin’ Pad. Cut decorate ends on the sentiment label using the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch.
On a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock, stamp two oak leaves using Mint Macaron Classic Stampin’ Pad and one maple leaf using Cajun Craze Classic Stampin’ Pad. TIP: when stamping the interior of each leaf, stamp off one time onto a scrap of paper before stamping inside the outline image.
After stamping the leaves, use the coordinating punches from the Autumn Punch Pack to cut.
Add the label to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals (refer to photo for placement).
Complete by embellishing with the cut leaves and adding a small bow tied using the Copper Metallic Ribbon from the Basket Weave & Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack.
Of course, don’t forget to embellish the envelope and the card interior!
For the next step, add the beautiful Gilded Autumn Suite of products to your “must have” order list for creating Fall projects. You can select the entire product suite or individual products under the Project Materials section below.
