2 Stampin' Up! Splendid Autumn Card Ideas + New Card Kit Available


2 Stampin' Up! Splendid Autumn Card Ideas | www.juliedavison.com #stampinup

Today I am sharing more Splendid Autumn projects because I just can't get enough of this beautiful designer paper! Do you have it yet? This designer paper is based on original art created by Stampin' Up! Artists, who were clearly inspired by gorgeous autumn colors like we are experiencing here in central Illinois.
I created this first card for my daughter Claire. I picked one of my favorite patterns and simply embossed the sentiment "You Are Loved" from the Softly Said stamp set.

Both cards use the same measurements, but the second card has an additional piece of foil cardstock that is 2-1/2" x 4" cut diagonally.

Card Measurements: 
  • 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Card Base 
  • 3-3/4" x 5" Designer Paper 
  • 4" x 5-1/4" Layer
I used the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder to cut the leaf from Cherry Cobbler cardstock and added some copper accents with heat embossing.

5 Stampin' Up! Sophisticated Sled Card Ideas + Video Tutorial

The Sophisticated Sled bundle includes some iconic imagery to celebrate the winter season. I love the sentiment: "I hope your days are filled with fun and laughter" because it reminds me of my youth when I loved playing in the snow and going sledding. It's been a long time since I have done either of those things. Even when my kids were younger, I let my husband take them out and I stayed inside and made cocoa for them when they came back in!

Here are a few cards that I made with the Sophisticated Sled bundle when it first came out as part of the July 2024 Stampin' Up! Online Exclusives offering.

I love the classic combination of Mossy Meadow, Cherry Cobbler, and Crumb Cake -- and the plaid pattern from the Iconic Celebrations Designer Paper ties it all together! Here's a second version that I made using a smaller piece of the designer paper.

For the ice skates card, I used Pool Party with the Snowfall Sky Embossing Folder for a monochromatic icy theme.

4 Stampin' Up! Autumn Caring Leaves Projects + Video Tutorials

I just can't get enough of these gorgeous Autumn colors in central Illinois! Here are some of the MANY photos I have taken on my walks in the neighborhood.

While it's not quite the same as the leaves in person, I've been having fun with the Caring Leaves stamp set to create fall cards in my stamp room.

Caring Leaves is a two step stamp set with an outline image and then a solid image to fill in with color. I used Sponge Daubers to create multi-color leaves on this first card.

Watch the video replay. I started out trying the Baby Wipe Technique, but the stamp image was not solid enough to create a vivid image. The results with the sponge daubers were much better.

I used the new Forever Plaid Embossing Folder to add a textured background to this clean and simple gate fold card that I made last week during Sunday Stamping.
