For today’s post, I’m sharing the Happy Fall Y’all! card made in the October card class. The card is a project from a recent online workshop that I attended. I did make a few alterations – changing the sentiment and layer measurements but the card design is by Melanie Hockin. The multiple layers and the wreath shape creates lots of visual interest. Isn’t the card beautiful? Thank you Mel for a gorgeous card design!
Project Materials for Happy Fall Y’all Wreath Card:
- Thick Very Vanilla Cardstock (5-1/2” x 8-1/2”, score and fold at 4-1/4” for card base)
- Cajun Craze Cardstock (3” x 3”)
- Very Vanilla Cardstock (3-1/4” x 4-1/2”, 3” x 3”)
- Mint Macaron Cardstock (3-1/2” x 4-3/4”)
- Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper (Cajun Craze background: 3-3/4” x 5”; Mint Macaron and Cajun Craze scraps to punch leaves)
- Greenery Embossing Folder
- Layering Circles Dies
- Gold Hoop Embellishments
- Autumn Punch Pack
- Banner Year Stamp Set
- Cajun Craze Classic Stampin’ Pad
- In Good Taste Elements
- Metallic Ribbon from the Basket Weave/Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack
Directions:
- Layer the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Mint Macaron cardstock onto the Thick Very Vanilla card base.
- Texture emboss the 3-1/4” x 4-1/2” Very Vanilla cardstock with the Greenery Embossing Folder. Adhere to the Mint Macaron layer on the card base.
- Die cut a layering scalloped circle from Cajun Craze cardstock and a layering circle from Very Vanilla cardstock. Adhere together and add to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Attach a gold hoop to the center of the Very Vanilla circle.
- Arrange veneer elements around the hoop and circle. TIP: gently snap off a short stem from a veneer element and add it inside the hoop. Attach the elements with mini glue dots.
- Layer and attach leaves onto the left side of the gold hoop.
- Embellish with a small ribbon bow.
- Stamp sentiment onto strip of Very Vanilla cardstock using the Cajun Craze Classic Stampin’ Pad. Attach to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper contains beautiful prints making it easy to select a color palette for card fall themed designs. Adding multiple layers along with texture embossing also elevates a card and is a great way to “take it up a notch.” Good tips to remember when you want to make an extra special card!

It’s a new month and to kick it off, we have the October 3D Tutorial Bundle & Blog Hop! We have the talented Patti Dolan joining us again as a guest designer. In addition to the tutorial bundle, the design team is featuring a blog hop. We’re each sharing a second project created using the same products to coordinate with our tutorial project. You’ll find the blog hop links at the bottom of this post. This month, the team is highlighting autumn.
Remember, the projects designed for the 3D bundle tutorials aren’t available elsewhere online. Therefore, you’ll receive EXCLUSIVE projects in the tutorial bundle. In addition, we’re including both Imperial and Metric measurements for each project.
Starting next month, the 3D Bundle Tutorial Design Team is moving the date for our post to the 10th of each month. So mark your calendar! With the change, this month’s tutorial is available for purchase until November 10, 2020.
Now for a Sneak Peek of the October 3D projects…
You’re going to love these autumn themed projects in the October 3D Tutorial Bundle.
Here’s my bonus project to coordinate with my October 3D tutorial project and features the Love of Leaves Bundle.
Card Details:
- Create a card base with Early Espresso cardstock (5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, score & fold at 4-1/4″).
- Next, add a Very Vanilla cardstock layer (5-1/8″ x 4″).
- Cut two strips of Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper (1= 3/8″ x 5-1/4″ and 1=3/8″ x 4″). Attach the two strips to the Very Vanilla cardstock layer with each approximately 1″ from the side and bottom of the cardstock. The strips will intersect.
- Stamp the sentiment from the Love of Leaves stamp set using Early Espresso Classic Ink Pad onto a 2″ square of Very Vanilla cardstock. Cut using a stitched circle die from the Stitched Shapes Dies. Sponge along the edge of the circle with Early Espresso Classic Ink Pad.
- To stamp the leaves: first ink the leaf stamps from the Love of Leaves Stamp Set with Old Olive Classic Ink Pad. Then using a sponge dauber, dab Terracotta Tile Classic Ink along tips and partially along the sides of leaves. With another sponge dauber, dab Bumblebee Classic Ink in the center and along part of the leaf edges below the Terracotta Tile. (Note: it is difficult to see where you’ve dabbed the ink on the stamp but there’s “no wrong” way. Think of how leaves look when changing colors – no two are alike. ) After daubing the inks, stamp leaves onto a scrap piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and cut with the coordinating Stitched Leaves Dies.
- Using the second largest leaf die from the Stitched Leaves Dies, cut a piece of the Brushed Metallic Cardstock.
- For the next step, layer the leaves onto the card front and overlapping the intersection of the Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper strips.
- To complete the card front, attach the sentiment label using Stampin’ Dimensionals. And of course, don’t forget to embellish the envelope.
When wanting to create autumn leaves, layering ink using sponge daubers onto your stamps is a fun technique. But remember, just dab the ink onto your base color of ink.

Since transitioning to virtual card classes due to the pandemic, registrants receive a “little something” extra with the kits. This month, an autumn theme bag topper added to a Mosaic Gusseted Cellophane Bag was perfect for the special treat. Even better, the bag topper is quick to make using the Celebration Labels Dies. The dies and Celebration Tidings Stamp Set are available together in the Celebration Tidings Bundle. For an autumn theme, the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Paper is ideal.
Bag Topper Tips:
For creating a bag topper, the Celebration Labels Dies offer a range of sizes so you can create toppers for a variety of bag sizes. Just lay a die across the top of the bag to determine the size needed. After die cutting your designer series paper or cardstock, place the label on your scoring board aligning the notches on the label and score to create the fold line. To seal bag top, use Stampin’ Seal+ on the label and fold across the bag opening. As noted, I used the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper for my project bag toppers. The designer series paper is perfect for an autumn theme bag topper.
For the autumn theme treat bag, a coordinating gift tag is added to the bag topper. Cut one end of a 3-1/4″x 3/4″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock using the Banners Pick A Punch. Then, stamp the “just for you” from the Celebration Tidings Stamp Set onto the tag using Early Espresso Classic Stampin’ Pad. Using the Autumn Punch Pack, cut leaves and acorns from the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper. Add the leaves to the tag with glue dots and use a Stampin’ Dimensional on the acorn. Next, add a small bow to the gift tag. To finish, use Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the gift tag.
Creating bag toppers using the Celebration Labels Dies is quick and easy! Adding this special touch to a cellophane bag elevates the simplest treat. With upcoming holidays, consider ordering the Celebration Tidings Bundles so you can quickly turn a “little something” into “something special”!

Sep 2, 2020 | Cards, Designer Series Paper, Dies, Gilded Autumn Specialty, Stitched Leaves, Uncategorized |
Hope you’re enjoying your week. My schedule seems to be jam packed but it’s all good. This past weekend, Stampin’ Up! hosted an online conference which I had the opportunity to attend. Great speakers, breakout sessions and even, networking ZOOM meetings. All of the conference was fantastic. The great thing about an online conference is the ability to watch the recordings of segments that ran concurrent. So, I am listening to the other breakout sessions and replaying sessions so that I can absorb the information . It will take me several days to get through all of the sessions. Of course, we’re experiencing heat and humidity so after my early morning walks, I find all opportunities to stay indoors. Oh, how I’m looking forward to the arrival of crisp, cool autumn temperatures! Now, on to details of the Stitched Leaves card.
In keeping with my wishes for autumn to arrive soon, today’s card is another autumn themed card. The Stitched Leaves Dies are perfect for cutting beautiful leaves. The stitching adds a wonderful textural element. And yes, I’m using one of my favorite papers from the Mini Catalog – the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper.
Materials:
- Early Espresso card base: 5-1/2” x 8-1/2”
- Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper: background layer: 4” x 5-1/4”; coordinating strip: 5-1/4” x 1-1/2”
- Very Vanilla cardstock: 2” x 1/2” for label; 5” x 4-1/4” for interior
- Cajun Craze cardstock: scrap for leaf
- Brushed Metallic Cardstock: 3” x 3”
- Stamp Set: Love of Leaves
- Inks: Early Espresso for sentiment, Mint Macaron & Cajun Craze to sponge leaves (opt)
- Dies: Stitched Leaves
- Ribbon: Vanilla from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack
Card Assembly:
- Add the background layer of Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper (5-1/4″ x 4″) to the Early Espresso card base.
- Stamp the sentiment onto the Very Vanilla cardstock strip (2-1/2″ x 1/2″). Attach to the back of a 5-1/4” x 1-1/2” Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper strip using a glue dot. Then, add the strip to the card.
- Optional: Sponge the edges of the Mint Macaron and Cajun Craze leaves with the coordinating ink pads.
- Position leaves as desired to card front and attach using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Tie a bow with the Vanilla ribbon and add to the stems of the leaves.

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.
