The brilliance of fall colors is something to look forward to every year. It’s our gift before the cold of winter sets in the northern states. My handsome handmade autumn card idea uses those colors with the surprise of a spring color added to the mix with the Stampin’ Up! Love of Leaves Stamp Set and dies.
The coordinating Stitched Leaves Dies are really something! Did you see all the cool stitching? The detail they give to the leaves and background are simply remarkable.
The Stitched Leaves Dies also die-cut the stamped leaf images. What I want to try next is stamping the leaves to see what happens when I add the stitched veins using my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.
The measurements and supplies for my Stampin’ Up! Love of Leaves card can be found below.

Do you remember seeing the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Posies Stamp Set in the 2020-2021 Catalog? No? Not surprising because it is only shown at 40% at the front of the catalog. Very easy to miss this delightful flower stamp set. Use it with the coordinating Gorgeous Posies Card Kit and alone as for colorful and lovely clean and simple cards.
Colorful, indeed, with Magenta Madness, Just Jade, and Bumblebee from the 2020-2022 In Colors. Magenta Madness and Just Jade are gorgeous together but may be needed to see in person to be bowled over by them.
One of the watercolor flowers was stamped and hand trimmed with Paper Snips (you’ll love them in your hands!). The flower was then able to be raised up and overlap the other flower for an attractive grouping with the leaves.
“Get well soon” is one of the four greeting stamps in the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Posies Stamp Set. The font is quite appealing. I choose to stamp it in black. What color would you have chosen? You can tell me below this post.
The small border of Basic Black Cardstock gave fantastic contrast to the flowers to let them just pop and stunning next to Magenta Madness Cardstock card base.
The Magenta 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots peppered around the flowers provided the finishing touch.

Thanksgiving is when we stop long enough to count our blessings that we are “always grateful” to have over the past year. Even during tough times, we can find reasons to give thanks. You can share the peace you find in giving thanks with my Stampin’ Up! Celebration Tidingsclean and simple Thanksgiving card.
It may look as if the three line image is one stamp, but, in fact, it is made of three separate rubberstamps. That allows for much more flexibility. For example, you may prefer for there to be less white space between the greeting and images. Or, you have an idea for only one of them. Another possibility would be to use a favorite Thanksgiving greeting from another stamp set.
My clean and simple Thanksgiving card images were colored with Stampin’ Blends Markers. You can achieve beautiful shading and easily use two or more colors as I did on the leaves. You’ll be amazed at the results you can achieve without being a color expert when you use the exclusive Stampin’ Up! alcohol markers.
The expectation was to have a Whisper White Thick Cardstock card base. Turns out the pumpkins popped off the card when set against Old Olive Cardstock instead for the base. The warmth also feels right for the occasion. Leave a comment below to let me know if you agree.
