My card today is all about Autumn… and it’s an easy fun fold :O) More explicitly it highlights the All About Autumn 6×6 SDSP AND the Oxidized Copper SDSP. These are brand new products from the Mini 2023 Sep-Dec Catalog. They will be available to customers September 6 – so get excited, prepare your lists of what to order. This is gorgeous paper and the coordinating bundle, Autumn Leaves Bundle, is just as awesome.

If you are a customer of mine, you just may have your catalog already. And if you do, you may find the items used on this card on pages 42-44. Note that Amy Koenders played a part in creating the Autumn Leaves bundle as a reward for her Million Dollar Sales! Thank you Amy, for all you do!

The card base is Copper Clay, and once scored, another scored panel was adhered to the right that creates the fun fold. Then the layers for the front (Very Vanilla and All About Autumn 6×6 SDSP) were cut & adhered in place. Please notice (how could you not!) how different these two front panels are & how they coordinate… both from the All About Autumn 6×6 SDSP pack. I just HAD to use the additional SDSP in this suite of products… Oxidized Copper 12×12 SDSP, to die cut the leaf image for the right front panel (All About Leaves Dies) – and adhered it in place with liquid glue. I then stamped the sentiment from Autumn Leaves stamp set in Copper Clay ink on a Very Vanilla panel and die cut it with a banner die using the coordinating Autumn Leaves Dies. This was adhered in place with dimensionals. The final step for the front was the addition of the Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots in Copper Clay.

For the inside, I die cut two more panels of All About Autumn 6×6 SDSP and adhered them to the appropriate panels. Then I decorated them with die cuts using the Autumn Leaves Dies: one from All About Autumn 6×6 SDSP and two from the Oxidized Copper 12×12 SDSP. Each was adhered in place with liquid adhesive. (I intentionally did not add additional layers to the inside in order to keep the card from being too heavy.) For the sentiment area of the inside, I first stamped the sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink using the Autumn Leaves stamp set. I LOVE the mix of fonts! Then I took this very different die from the Autumn Leaves Dies that die cuts dotted lines, ran the Very Vanilla panel through twice, then adhered it in place (over the 1″ scored section of the added right panel). This is such a versatile card – could be for many occasions and could be a masculine card as well. :O) See at the bottom of this post all the card cuts to make this fun fold.

The envelope is also Very Vanilla and another piece of All About Autumn 6×6 SDSP was adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. For the envelope front, I first stamped the leaf veins in Early Espresso ink using a stamp from the Autumn Leaves stamp set. I then took the double leaf stamp that coordinates with the leaf veins and with a sponge dauber, dabbed on color: Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Garden Green, then stamped over the leaf veins. I was very pleased with the result. And the card & envelope are ready to send… I just don’t have anyone in mind just yet.

This is a fun fold hop, and I think you are going to see some fantastic cards. Click the next button to take you to Carol, or click on a name to see someone else’s card. Whatever you do – see them all! Enjoy!
