Welcome to Thursday and the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Our theme today is an autumn card and I’ve chosen to make an avid card using the Amber Autumn Bundle and other products in the Autumn Toile Suite of products on pages 39-43 in the September – December 2025 Mini Catalog. If you look at page 42, you will see a similar card , I’ve just added a few items to make it a bit more wow!
Then card base is Basic Beige with an added layer of Early espresso & a slightly smaller layer of Amber Toile DSP. I created two strips (banners really) using the back side of the larger DSP panel. I trimmed the ends using the new & fabulous Party Banner Dies. With the largest of the circles in the Stitched Shapes Dies, I cut a circle from Gathering Together Specialty DSP. I turned this saame paper to the other side and die cut several leaves with the Amber Autumn Dies. With this die, then ‘vein’ of the leaves pops out. I mixed up those ‘veins’ and put them in other die cut leaves. The only one I left with it’s original center is the leaf die cut from the same side of the DSP as the circle. I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso ink with an Amber Autumn sentiment, then popped the circle on the card front with dimensionals. I added the die cut leaves with liquid glue except for one – that’s on mini dimensionals. I tied a double bow with the coordinating Early Espresso Thread and attached it with a glue dot. Final touch… two Streaked Dots from the suite of products
For the inside… I stamped the acorn & leaf image with Basic Beige ink. It comes from the Amber Autumn stamp set and it’s a favorite image! I then stamped the sentiment, also from the Amber Autumn stamp set in early Espresso ink. This Basic White panel was added to an Early espresso piece then attached to the inside of the card.
For the envelope, another piece of the Gathering Together Specialty DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front, I die cut another leaf using the Amber Autumn Dies and Gathering Together Specialtyb DSP and attached it with glue to the front. This card is being sent to a special person who has a September birthday 😀. I really like this card.
Want to make this card? See the photos below & shop with me. Card cuts are listed below as well. For every order of $50 & above from today Sep. 3 to Sep 10, I will send not only the monthly tutorial (for September it’s the Amber Autumn bundle!), but a package of the Hues of Blue Flowers.

Good Friday – my goodness August is flittering away – Monday is LABOR DAY! Today’s card is all about fall and it uses a September Release ONLINE EXCLUSIVE. The bundle is Gathering Moments.
The card has a Basic Beige front from which I die cut the large leaf with Gathering Moments Dies. I wanted to use the Timeless Plaid 6×6 DSP behind the die cut but on an angle. This meant an odd shape for cutting the DSP and it needed to be slightly smaller than the Basic Beige card front. Once I cut the DSP I added it to an Old Olive panel and that to the card base of Cajun Craze.
I put dimensionals all over the back of the die cut panel and adhered it to the the card. I stamped the sentiment in Cajun Craze ink using the Gathering Moments stamp set and die cut the basic White with Textured Notes Dies. I cut a piece of Old Olive for a backing, adhered the two together and added them directly to the card front. I tied a double bow with Natural Tones Linen Thread then added three Cajun Craze and Gold Dots.
For the inside… I used the die cut that came out of the front die cut to stamp the sentiment from Gathering Moments in Cajun Craze ink. I added this to a Basic White panel then both to Old Olive then to the inside of the card base..
For the envelope, more of the Timeless Plaid 6×6 DSP on the flap trimmed to fit, then a single leaf stamped on the front: Gathering Moments stamp set in Old Olive ink. Totally fall – good for a masculine card too!

Good Wednesday – mid week day – and how’s it going? Here in NJ we are experiencing cool nights, down to 57 or so then the temp rises to 81-84. It’s thew cool nights that are unusual and I’ve been trying to take advantage of that coolness to do yard work – like pulling out grass when it’s grown where it shouldn’t into flower beds. It’s back breaking but necessary. Anyway – sorry no post yesterday – I got outside and didn’t finish my post. 🥴
The card… is really just Old Olive and white – the focal point is the sweetest leaves from a July release ONLINE EXCLUSIVE bundle called Label Me Grateful. I used two dies from this, the leaves and the acorns. The Branching Out Dies are from the September-December 2025 Mini Catalog, also part of a bundle. Let’s take a look at the card.
I began with watercolor paper and a couple of inks: I wet the water color paper then added Old Olive and Granny Apple Green and maybe a dab of Mossy Meadow with a water painter. I’m not sure that darkest color shows up in these leaves though. I set this aside to dry while creating the rest of the card. I die cut four layers for the card front from Basic White using the Branching Out Dies. The two largest I adhered together. The smallest die cut I ran through a brand new embossing folder from the September ONLINE EXCLUSIVE called Gathering Leaves (it’s part of a suite of products but can be purchased separately. It will be available Wednesday Sep 3)) Once embossed I adhered the two smallest Branching Out die cuts together. These two got dimensionals and attached to the two larger Branching Out die cuts. I also die cut from the Label Me Dies the sweet branch of acorns – also from Basic White. With the watercolor paper now dry, I die cut the leaves for the front, but dimensionals on the back, placed the acorn die, then the leaves over that. I created a double Linen Thread bow and added it with a glue dot. I took a panel of Floral Delight DSP and added it to my Thick Basic White card base, then added the rest. I love the simplicity of the colors and lots of white.
For the inside… a similar leaf to the die cut leaves on the front is in the Gathering Moments bundle – remember it’s a September Online Exclusive release on Sep. 3. I stamped the image in Old Olive, using the one time stamp off method, then used full strength Old Olive ink for the sentiment – also from the Gathering Moments stamp set. I added a 1/2″ strip of the DSP to the bottom of the Basic White panel then attached it to the inside of the card.
For the envelope… More of the Floral Delight DSP added to the flap and trimmed to fit. On the front I stamped the same leaf image from Gathering Moments stamp set using the one time stamp off method.

It’s funny how things come about…. I needed a sympathy card and on my desk was a 4 x 5 1/4 panel already embossed with the Changing Leaves Hybrid embossing folder – and I said, why not! And here’s how it turned out…
Gosh, this photo is not the best! Yes, the embossed panel is Crushed Curry as are the die cut leaves, and from the Changing Leaves Dies. The panel is set on dimensionals on a Copper Clay card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. The two outside leaves are attached with dimensionals asa well and the middle leaf simply tucked in and adhered at the stem end, which you cannot see. The sentiment panel is Basic Beige stamped in Crushed Curry ink and die cut with a die from Thoughtful Expressions Dies. The sentiment comes from Something Fancy stamp set. And the Linen Thread is a double bow slipped just under the corner of the sentiment with a glue dot. My final touch was the Gold Textured Adhesive-Backed Dots. I love all the texture and elegance of this card.
For the inside, I stamped the sentiment in crushed Curry ink but the message is from Hope You Know stamp set – and on a Basic Beige 4 x 5 1/4 panel.
For the envelope… I embossed a 2 1/4 x 6 panel of Crushed Curry card stock with the Changing Leaves Hybrid embossing folder, adhered it and trimmed to fit the flap. The leaf on the front of the envelope is from Autumn Expressions stamp set, stamped in Crushed Curry ink, then added Wink of Stella to the inside of the leaf. It looks very cool – again a bit of texture and glam too. And even though this is a sympathy card, the glam is not overdone. I’ve already passed this card on to the person for whom it was made – and they loved it.

This is a double easel card and not complicated. There ARE a lot of steps cuz there’s coloring with both Watercolor Pencils and Blending Brushes. So… let’s start with those first.
Leaves from Autumn Leaves stamp set & Autumn Leaves Dies
Ink the leaf from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Crushed Curry ink.
With that still ink on the stamp, with various Blending Brushes add dabs of Pumpkin Pie, Cherry Cobbler and Mossy Meadow. I find it best to tap the ink on lightly, especially if the color is strong.
Stamp on a Very Vanilla panel. Clean stamp and repeat process so there are two leaves stamped. You will note in my photo, one is much lighter than the other – that was intentional!
Die cut leaves using the Autumn Leaves Dies & set aside.
Die cut leaf veins with appropriate die from Autumn Leaves Dies using scraps from both Crushed Curry and Crumb Cake card stock.
Adhere to appropriate stamped & die cut leaves with dabs of liquid glue – DO NOT PUT GLUE ON THE TAIL OF THE VEIN!
Bird – Perched In A Tree stamp set with coordinating Aspen Tree Dies
Stamped this very fat robin in Stazon ink on a Basic White scrap. Stazon because it stamps so very clearly and does not bleed at all when colored.
Watercolor Pencils: Early Espresso & Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie & Real Red. I listed them this way as they will be used in pairs as listed.
With a flicking motion, begin adding color to the robin with Early Espresso Watercolor Pencil. This is a base layer and need not be too heavy. The reason for the flicking motion in lieu of back & forth coloring is it look more natural, more feather like. Refer to the photo for where this color should be added.
Add Cajun Craze Watercolor Pencil in the same way.
Now add more Early Espresso Watercolor Pencil until you are satisfied.
Switch to Pumpkin Pie and do the head & chest, flicking as you go to make it look like real feathers. Change direction of the flicking too – or… turn the robin to make the motion easier for the particular direction.
Add Real Red Watercolor Pencil, more on the top and under the beak, still flicking making it feather-like.
Add Early Espresso Watercolor Pencil to the beak and to the feet
Die cut with die from Aspen Tree Dies – set aside.
The base for a Double Easel Card:
I used Crumb Cake card stock… 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2 & 2 3/4; the bottom half is also Crumb Cake card stock 4 1/4 x 4 1/4, scored at 2 & 1/4. Burnish well all score lines.
Adhere the 1/4 scored area to the inside of the card base that is not scored.
Add a Very Vanilla panel 4 1/4 x 5 3/8 to the 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 area of the card base, covering the adhered Crumb Cake front piece. This is the inside of the card and could be stamped if you so desired. I left it blank.
Now let’s decorate… :O)
Die cut a piece of Crumb Cake card stock cut to 4 1/4 x 5 3/8 with this wonderful open Aspen Tree Die.
Add this die cut piece to the front folded section of the card base. NOTE: you are adding this die with glue only on the lower half. HINT: I turned the die over and marked lightly with a pencil, the area to add glue. :O)
Lay die right in place over the die cut panel, place cutting plate to score line & run through, cutting that front fold section. You may have to go back & forth a bit, but only cut to the score line!
With a craft knife, cut pieces that should be removed per the die.
Stamp sentiment on a piece of Very Vanilla in Early Espresso ink. My sentiment is from the Perched In A Tree stamp set and the Very Vanilla is approximately 5/8 by 5. Adhere sentiment with dimensionals over the score line.
This is what it looks like from the back once adhered and die cut the second time. It’s clear my Exacto knife was not quite sharp enough to make clean cuts. :O(
Die cut additional leaves using the Autumn Leaves Dies, Aspen Tree Dies and Distressed Gold Specialty DSP.
adhere the two like leaves on the sentiment banner with liquid glue.
FRONT section of the double easel…
With stamp from Perched in a Tree, stamp the splotches with on Very Vanilla panel 1 3/4 x 4 14 with stamped-off Pecan Pie ink.
Add panel to very front of easel section, centering top to bottom.
Add reserved stamped leaves colored with Blending Brushes – Autumn Leaves stamp set & Autumn Leaves Dies – with liquid glue.
Add Aspen Tree Die in Distressed Gold with liquid glue on one end and dimensional on leaf tip end. This adds depth.
Add double bow made with Simply Elegant Trim in Gold with glue dot.
Add robin die cut with Aspen Tree Dies with double dimensionals
For a final touch… add several Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots to this panel and to the Aspen Tree die cut on the top section of the easel.
For the envelope… I added Neutral 6×6 DSP in Crumb Cake to the flap & trimmed it to fit. For the envelope front I stamped the leaf vein from Autumn Leaves stamp set in Early Espresso ink. My card was inspired by Jo Blackman and a card she made in 2022.

Good Friday morning! It’s cool here in the northeast – 54 degree when we walked. And that means fall is a-comin’. That’s perfect for today’s card because I chose to use one of the masks in the new Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks.
I used Blending Brushes and three colors of ink to create this with one of the new Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks: Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler – definite fall colors. And here’s the mask after using the Blending Brushes.
You can see that I held the paper in place AND the mask in place using post-it notes. And that is a key to making the finished product clear. I trimmed the Basic White panel a bit then with a Water Painter added some water splotches. I did this by squeezing just a bit of water into the brush then tapping it against my other hand. Once dry I used an Early Espresso Marker to flick some splatters to the entire panel. This was added to a Cherry Cobbler panel just slightly larger. I wanted the card base to be Pumpkin Pie card stock, but also wanted some texture on the card – so ran a separate panel of Pumpkin Pie through the cut & emboss machine with the Basics 3D Embossing folder, Crosshatch. This is a product part of the Online Exclusives. This embossed panel was adhered to the card base withn loiquid glue and the top two panels were added with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment using another new product available Sep 6, the Abundant Leaves stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink on another Basic White piece, and die cut it with a die from the Abundant Leaves Dies. I also wanted another image behind the sentiment and looked at the Abundant Leaves Dies and say this image that is really ‘veins’ for a leaf. I die cut it from Early Espresso card stock and added it with dots of liquid glue to the card front, putting dimensionals on the sentiment and adding it over the die cut. As a final touch I added three Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots – also a new product available Sep 6.
Using the die cut from Abundant Leaves Dies as a stencil, I used the Blending Brushes used to create the card front, to create the image on the inside of the card. Again, the Basic White panel was adhered to a Cherry Cobbler card stock then added to the inside of the card.
With the Abundant Beauty Masks still on my desk, I used the mask and Blending Brushes to decorate the envelope, some leaves on the front, then the entire flap. it ties everything together. Abundant Beauty Masks – a real bargain and a fun play with Blending Brushes!
Remember, several of the items used to create this card will be available Sep 6 as they are in the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog. If you do not have a demonstrator or a new catalog, please reach out to me. I also have a Designer Series Paper Share as part of the same catalog – touting all the new Designer Series Papers.

Online Exclusives are just that – not in any Stampin’ Up! catalog.
The Basics 3D Embossing Folders used in today’s project, are part of this.
The theme for today’s hop is “Fall Frenzy” and I had such fun creating these cute treat bags. The hop is Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop.
The background for the fall tags are the wonderful 2023-2025 In Color Treat Bags.
The tag bases are Copper Clay for 2 and Wild Wheat for one (2 1/2 x 4 1/2). I marked the center & punched the ribbon opening with the Very Best Trio Punch, then used that same punch to trim the top corners. Setting that aside, I worked on the rest of cutting & punching and using the sponge dauber :O). Using the smallest of the Radiating Stitched Dies and Crumb Cake, I cut three pieces. I used a sponge dauber & Cajun Craze ink to color the edges to give each a more rustic look. I cut pieces of Them Bones DSP (from the soon to be released – Sep 6 – Mini 2023 Sep-Dec Catalog), just a bit larger that the Crumb Cake piece. I adhered these two together then to another piece, again slightly larger in Wild Wheat. I guess there is one of these I did the other way around! I added these to the tag base with dimensionals. I then stamped these gorgeous leaves from the Autumn Leaves stamp set, inking them with a sponge dauber in Cajun Craze, Wild Wheat & Lemon Lime Twist inks. They were stamped on a Basic White scrap. Then veins were stamped with Wild Wheat ink. then die cut with the appropriate die from Autumn Leaves Dies. From Pumpkin Pie card stock I punched three ovals for each tag using the Double Oval Punch. I sponged the edges of each of these ovals in Copper Clay then adhered them together to create a pumpkin. The center oval is on dimensionals :O) The leaves were attached to the tag with liquid glue, and the pumkins added next. I tied a double loop bow using Linen Thread and attached it with liquid glue. The ribbons used are: Textured Ribbon in Wild Wheat and that was tied with Lemon Lime Twist from the Ribbon Combo Pack. I adhered them to the bag with Stampin’ Seal. The bag top is simply folded over.
Now, be sure to visit the others on the hop today for they will have some fun ‘fall frenzy’ designs to share. Click on the links or click on a name.

This card is very fall-ish: plaid designer series paper, a wreath & leaves ~ what more could you ask for in a fall card? So here ya go…
I began by stamping the wreath on a Basic White piece in Soft Suede ink with the Cottage Wreaths stamp set, then die cut it with the Country Wreaths Dies. I took another panel of Basic White and ran it through the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder to use as a background for the wreath. I covered the front of an A2 Pumpkin Pie card stock with the Gingham Cottage DSP in Pumpkin Pie. I took a piece of Pale Papaya card stock and ran it through the Deckled Rectangles Dies, cut a piece of Pumpkin Pie card stock just slightly larger to layer behind it. Because I wanted yet another layer (😁) I used a smaller Deckled Rectangle Die to cut a pice of the Texture Chic Specialty DSP. All of these I layered, centering each one as you see, except the Basic White embossed panel. This I offset, put dimensionals on the die cut wreath and adhered it to the card front. Then I set about the leaves.
On a baby wipe, I dropped a couple of drops of re-inkers in these colorsCrushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie & Mossy Meadow. This is so fun to watch them bleed into one another. I took the small three leaves from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set and stamped it several times on a Basic White scrap, then die cut them all, choose several and attached with dimensionals to the wreath and on the card. There are actually seven of them. My last step was to tie a double bow using the Metallic Woven Ribbon in Parakeet Party and linen Thread together. These were attached with a glue dot.
For the inside of the card… I stamped a Basic White panel with this sentiment from Cottage Wreaths stamp set in Soft Suede ink. Then, remember the Pale Papaya cut for the card front? I used the remainder of that piece for the inside of the card, adhering over the Basic White framing it. My last step was to add more of the Baby Wipe stamped leaves from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set – just with a dot of liquid glue. This was added to the inside of the card & voila!
The envelope was extra easy & fun – I just used the same three leaves, stamped them on the baby wipe & onto the envelope, both on the front and all over the flap. Done! What’s extra nice is this card can be used for several things: thank you, birthday, congratulations – all because of the sentiment. Yes, I will have to send it this fall :O)

Hello!!! And welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a color challenge today that just seems perfect for a fall card. Here’s what i created for it…
Our color challenge is as seen in this photo…
The plaid is from the 2022-2024 In Color 6×6 Regal DSP and it’s Crushed Curry. The background DSP is Pumpkin Pie in the same 2022-2024 In Color 6×6 Regal DSP. I used it to cover the card front of the Pumpkin Pie card base. And I used the Stitched Rectangles to create the rectangles. Here’s a picture of how I die cut that.
It’s obvious how I held everything in place while I did the Stitched Rectangles die cuts. It was perfect… I adhered these in place with liquid glue – please notice how all the plaids line up just right in the completed card.:O)
The next step was the pumpkin – stamped on Basic White Thick card stock then colored with Stampin’ Blends… Pumpkin Pie, Light then Dark; Cajun Craze, Light & Dark. The stem was colored with Mossy Meadow Marker. The pumpkin was die cut with the pumpkin die from the Rustic Pumpkin Die (which of course coordinates w/ the Hello Harvest stamp set. As a bundle it’s 10% off!) This pumpkin was adhered in place with dimensionals after attaching a bit of Linen Thread with Stampin’ Seal. Here’s a photo of that…
I stamped the small flowers in Memento Ink and colored w/ Stampin’ Blends So Saffron & Pumpkin Pie and die cut with the Rustic Pumpkin Dies. The flower on the left was secured in place with glue dots and the other two with dimesnionals. I stamped the sentiment in Memento Ink as well, on basic White, and die cut with Stitched Rectangles. This was adhered in place with dimensional on the left and one in the upper right corner and a bit of glue on the lower right corner. As a final touch, three Brushed Metallic Dots were added for a bit of glam. I like it! And that was it for the card front.
For the inside, I kept it real simple… and stamped the image in Memento Black on Basic White card stocl and adhered it to the inside of the card. The image is from Hello Harvest stamp set. This was attached in place with liquid glue ~ and the card was done.
For the envelope… more of the same plaid from 2022-2024- In Color 6×6 DSP in crushed Curry on the flap and the very nice bouquet stamped in Memento Ink on the envelope front. I colored the flowers with stampin’ Blends So Saffron & Pumpkin Pie.
Now… on with the hop! Click on the ‘next’ link or got to a name and click tghat. Whatever you do, don’t miss out ~ visit them all!

Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The theme this week is ‘Harvest’ and I’ve chosen to use the baby wipe technique and the Soft Seedlings Stamp Set.
Harvest just says ‘fall’ to me… and here it is almost mid August. Already the sky is not light as late at night and remains darker later in the morning. Boo hoo! But I love seasons, so I’m not complaining. I was playing with the baby wipe technique and these came out so softly that at first I didn’t like it, but the more I played, the more I DID like it. My baby wipe was a bit dry and that’s why I think it turned out so softly, but as I said, I like it. If you haven’t done this technique before, I urge you to try it… it’s super easy
the baby wipe should be on a large acrylic plate or a ceramic one, something that will protect your surface from the wetness – and be flat too of course.
drop various re-inker colors on the baby wipe: I used Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, Garden Green and Crumb Cake (harvest/ fall colors). Allow them to bleed together.
With the stamp on an acrylic block, stamp onto the inked baby wipe then onto the desired card stock. I used Very Vanilla for this card. Continue as many times as needed for the effect you are wanting.
Because I had extra card stock on my table, I stamped for the inside layer and the envelope front ~ and each time the image was different in colors. L-O-V-E!
I trimmed my focal image down and adhered it to a Pumpkin Pie panel. It was at this point I created my background: Regals 6×6 DSP in Pumpkin Pie – fun plaid – adhered to Pumpkin Pie. I wrapped this with a length of Frayed Ribbon and attached it in back with Seal+, then mounted it on a Very Vanilla card base with dimensionals. I took my baby wipe focal piece and attached it with dimensionals to the card front. For the sentiment, I stamped this in Soft Suede ink using the True Beauty stamp set on a Very Vanilla strip. I wanted a scrolly kind of font that imitated the swirly of the front image. This was added to another piece of Pumpkin Pie and added to the front with dimensionals. As a final touch – Amber Gems from the Leaf Label & Amber Gems Combo Pack. And the front was done.
Remember this inside is already stamped with the maple leaf whirly-gigs :O) using the baby wipe technique explained above. And yes, it’s Very Vanilla card stock added to a Pumpkin Pie layer, then attached to the inside of the card.
For the envelope, I stamped the leaf image using the baby wipe technique on the front, then more of the Regals 6×6 DSP Pumpkin Pie – fun plaid – on the flap & voila – the card is done. Depending on the color of re-inkers used for this technique, this card could be in deep purples with bits of Crumb Cake or Crushed Curry – hmmm I may have to try that! – or shades of red. You really can use your imagination and use just about any color combo. Have fun with it!
OK – now, on with the hop. You may use the next button or click on a name to get you where you’re going. Enjoy!
