A Simple Autumn Card That Expresses Your Gratitude in Glorious Colors!

Create this gorgeous clean and simple autumn card with the Autumn Expressions Stamp Set and Dies by Stampin' Up! Card by Mary Fish, Stampin' Pretty

As I have shared many times before, Designer Series Paper (DSP) can be the key to quick, beautiful cards and is the key for today’s simple autumn card and envelope flap.  I used the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Autumn DSP for a chic, vibrant fall palette.

Autumn Expressions – perfect for A Simple Autumn Card!

What I Love The Stampin’ Up! Autumn Expressions stamp set and dies (see all 10% off bundles) coordinate beautifully with the paper.  The font for the sentiment (Change Can Be Beautiful) was inked in Blackberry Bliss and stamped on Wild Wheat card stock.  The Autumn Expressions Die I used has a charming perforated border and can even be converted to a locket you can open and close (perhaps tuck a photo inside)!

how to make this simple autumn card:

  1. Burnish the fold of the Blackberry Bliss card base with a Bone Folder.
  2. Adhere the Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper layer to the Wild Wheat layer with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
  3. Wrap with Blackberry Bliss & Gold 1/2″ Textured Ribbon, adhering to the back with Mini Glue Dots.
  4. Adhere the layer to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  5. Use a Mini MISTI stamp tool to position and stamp the sentiment (Autumn Expressions Stamp Set) in Blackberry Bliss Classic Ink onto the Wild Wheat layer. Watch my 1 Minute to WOW video: The Magic of the Mini MISTI for a quick product demonstration here.
  6. Crop with a  Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard or Mini) and the coordinating Autumn Expressions label die.

  1. Adhere 2 Woven Golden Leaves and a bow of Copper Clay Natural Linen Thread as shown with Mini Glue Dots.
  2. POP OF PERSONALITY!  Embellish with 3 Cajun Craze Faux Glass Dots.
  3. PERFECT POLISH! Adhere the 5 3/4 x 2 1/2 Designer Series Paper to the Basic White Medium envelope flap with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. PRETTY TIP! Add glue to the flap, not the Designer Series Paper. Flip to the inside of the flap and carefully snip away the excess with Paper Snips. Watch my 1 Minute to WOW Video Tutorial to learn how here.
My Project Colors - Blackberry Bliss, Cajun Craze, Wild Wheat

The glorious colors of Blackberry Bliss, Cajun Craze, and Wild Wheat help this handmade card burst with gratitude.
