Autumn is almost here, and today’s project is a thank you card that’s all about the season. I used the Beautiful Autumn stamp set and Stitched So Sweetly Dies to create this simple fun fold card. I also made a coordinating little lip balm gift box, which I’ll share with you in a few days (you can see a sneak peek of it below.)

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Early Espresso card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″ and at 7-1/2″
- Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper (DSP) layer cut to 3″ x 5-1/4″ (speckled)
- speckled DSP layer cut to 1″ x 5-1/4″
- herringbone pattern DSP layer cut to 5-1/4″ tall by 4 pattern stripes wide (just over 3/4″)
- acorn/leaf pattern DSP layer cut to 2-1/2″ x 4-1/4″
- Very Vanilla CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″ for the inside of the card base
Stamped with the Beautiful Autumn stamp set:
- sentiment in Versamark ink onto a scrap of Early Espresso CS, then heat embossed in gold
- acorn in Early Espresso ink onto the bottom left corner of the Very Vanilla CS
Cut using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies:
Assembled the card:
- burnished the folds in the card base with a Bone Folder, folding the 1″ section back onto the card front
- larger speckled DSP layer glued onto the front of the card base (left side and under the folded over flap)
- acorn/leaf DSP layer glued onto the speckled DSP layer
- herringbone DSP layer glued onto the flap of the card base
- flap glued down onto the DSP layers
- sentiment glued onto the flap and DSP layers, but not the small part hanging off the right side
- 1″ speckled DSP strip glued onto the right side of the Very Vanilla CS
- Very Vanilla CS glued onto the inside of the card base
- If you prefer, you can skip gluing down the flap, and then only glue the sentiment to the flap, leaving the rest loose. I just felt the card would be easier to photograph if I glued them down.

Welcome to the September 2020 Candy Hearts Blog Hop! This month’s theme is Halloween. I used the Festive Corners stamp set, Cobwebs 3D Embossing Folder, and Magic in this Night Designer Series Paper to create a spooky fun 3D Pop Up card.
We have two special guests hopping with us today. One is the amazing and talented Mikaela Titheridge of The Crafty Oink Pen, and I can’t wait to see what she has in store for us. Mikaela has been a member of the prestigious Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team, and her projects are always spectacular. She’s also cute as a button! Next, Pam Morris of Tap Tap Stamp, is joining us on a regular basis, and I know she’ll have a super fun project for us. She is one of my Stampin’ Up! uplines, and she’s an absolute hoot and a half!

Welcome to the September 2020 OSAT Blog Hop! This month’s theme is You’ve Got This, so we’re featuring projects celebrating empowerment and encouragement for a new job, new school year, or any other new challenge. I used products from the World of Good Suite Collection for my projects today: a card and a small treat box. I also used a makeup brush blending technique that my Candy Hearts team member Lisa Graham demonstrated at our last team meeting.
Be sure to hop around to all the stops, to see all the great projects this group has in store for you today!

- World of Good Designer Series Paper (DSP) layer cut to 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″
- Cinnamon Cider CS layer cut to 4-1/4″ x 3″
- Mossy Meadow CS layer cut to 2-3/4″ x 1″
- Whisper White CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″ for the inside of the card base
- Mossy Meadow CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 3-1/4″, scored along the long side at 1-1/4″, 2-1/2″, 3-3/4″, 5″, and scored along the short side at 1-1/4″ for the box
- DSP cut to 4-13/16″ x 4-13/16″ and scored 1-3/4″ from all four edges for the lid
Colored/blended using a makeup brush:
- a scrap of Whisper White Thick CS in Early Espresso, Cinnamon Cider, Bumblebee, Mossy Meadow, and Misty Moonlight inks
- CLICK HERE to see the makeup brush I used. There are many others that I’m sure would be just as good. I wanted a big one, so I got the 2X-Large size.
- I forgot to take a photo until after I had cut out a couple pieces. My blending skills aren’t as good as Lisa’s, but I think you can get the idea.
Stamped with the Beautiful World stamp set:
- globe in Early Espresso ink onto the blue/green area of the blended CS (I wanted to make sure I got good ink coverage on the globe, so I used my Stamparatus to stamp it 2 or 3 times times.)
- 2 feathers in Crumb Cake ink onto the yellow/brown area of the blended CS
- globe stand and ink well in Early Espresso ink onto a scrap of Crumb Cake CS
- sentiment in Versamark ink onto the small Mossy Meadow CS layer, then heat embossed in gold
- small globe in Cinnamon Cider ink all over the Cinnamon Cider CS layer
Cut using the World Map Dies:
- globe, globe stand, inkwell, and 2 feathers
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the Early Espresso card base with a Bone Folder
- DSP layer glued onto the front of the card base
- Cinnamon Cider CS layer glued onto the the DSP layer
- globe and stand adhered onto the Cinnamon Cider CS layer using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals
- end of a feather glued onto the sentiment, then both adhered onto the card front using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals
- Whisper White CS glued onto the inside of the card base
Assembled the box:
- burnished the folds in the box and lid with a Bone Folder, and cut according to the diagram using Paper Snips
- tab on box glued onto the inside of the opposite end
- 1 bottom tab folded up, then the other 3 tabs glued in place
- The box is 1-1/4″ square by 2″ high, and fits 4 stacked Dove promises perfectly
- side tabs of DSP lid folded in and glued together, then the skinny tab folded down and glued onto the top one – did this on both sides
- NOTE: I put the lid on the box before gluing the sides, to make sure it wasn’t too snug.
- The lid is 1-5/16″ square by 1-3/4″ high.
- tip of second feather glued onto the back of the inkwell, then both adhered onto the front of the box lid using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals

Welcome to the September 2020 ICS Blog Hop! This month’s theme is Mini Catalog Fun Folds. I made an accordion fold card that fits into a Mini Pizza Box. I used the Wishes & Wonder Bundle (Wishes & Wonder stamp set and North Pole Wonder Dies,) along with the Stitched Rectangle Dies, Stitched Shapes Dies, Brightly Gleaming Designer Series Paper, and Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper, to create a long skinny card with Santa’s sleigh and eight tiny reindeer, plus Rudolph who has a Red Rhinestone for his nose.
Be sure to hop all the way around to all the stops because you don’t want to miss any of the great fun fold projects this group has for you today.

Lay the reindeer where it needs to go, then loop the twine around its neck and stick it to the Stampin’ Seal+ on the back (see photo below.) Then carefully turn over the reindeer to apply glue onto the back. Make sure to glue down all the points of the antlers so they don’t get tangled with the others when the card is closed.

- sleigh adhered onto the last DSP layer using Stampn’ Seal+, with the twine under the front rail

It is so easy to make pretty cards with the Flowers for Every Season Memories & More Card & Envelopes and Card Pack – you just stick one onto the other and you’re done! I’ve added extra interest to today’s project by angling the card on the front and adding a bow made with Very Vanilla Scalloped Lace Trim. It was done in no time!
