Talk about a clean and simple card! This one lets the sparkly leaf be the focal point. I send out a small amount of Thanksgiving cards each year so I like to get some finished up early and this would be a great one to make multiples of!
I used Very Vanilla for the card base as well as to die cut the Scalloped Christmas Cheer rectangle. I used the detailed Elegant Leaves die to cut the leaf shape out of the Very Vanilla panel. Then I cut the same leaf in Cajun Craze. I adhered a piece of the Cajun Craze Autumn Woodland Glimmer paper behind the Vanilla panel and then added the detailed Cajun Craze die cut over the top of the Glimmer paper.
The sentiment from Soiree Salutations is stamped below the leaf in Early Espresso and then a few retired Streaked Dots finish this clean and simple seasonal card.

The New at SU blog hop is back this month with projects made using Flip Flaps! We are an international group of Stampin' Up!® demonstrators sharing creative ways to use your supplies. This month we are showing you fun ways to use Flip Flaps. The hop list is at the end of my post so check out all the great ideas and leave some comment love!
I'm not a scrapbooker nor do I tend to make 3D projects very often so when I saw we were to use Flip Flaps this month I just figured I would use one or 2 on a card to make a fun fold or shaker card. But then I remembered an idea that used the Flip Flaps to make a mini album and thought that would be a fun way to use these photos I had tucked away.
I looked through my current papers and decided on the Nature Walk DSP to build my album. The cover measures 10 1/2" x 6 1/2" - scored at 5 1/4" for the center fold. The spine which I just used a piece of the same pattern but on the flip side is measured at 1 1/2" x 6 1/2" - scored at 3/4".
I decorated the front and then started on the inside.
I created a pocket out of another pattern of Nature Walk DSP to hold the journaling tag. I embellished the front of the pocket as well. The pocket measures 3 1/2" x 5" with the 2 short sides and one long side scored at 1/2" to create the pocket. The journaling tag measures 3 3/4" x 4 1/2".
Next I decided which photos were going where, added them and more DSP and embellishments to the Flip Flap pockets and peeled off the adhesive and stacked the pockets on top of each other starting from the back and working my way to the front. I used 4 4"x6" and 2 3"x3" Flip Flaps.
I made this quick video showing each page and how the Flip Flaps are used for the photos and journaling. This was a really fun project and a nice step outside my normal comfort zone. This mini album comes together really quickly and is very simple to customize to whatever set of photos you want to use.
Have fun hopping through with the New at SU! team!

I was recently invited to join the New at SU! monthly blog hop and it sounded like such fun I jumped right in! This hop has a different theme each month to showcase new Stampin' up! products. Demonstrators from around the world participate and show off their awesomely creative projects to get you inspired for your own crafting. This month the theme is Making Memories Last so I've done a scrapbook layout for my project.
I'm using some upcoming products that will be released on May 6th so this is fun sneak peek! The Impressions Abloom bundle and coordinating Floral Impressions DSP will be available as an Online Exclusive!
I'm a baby scrapbooker, as in all I've created before this is one scrapbooking workshop kit, so this first New at SU blog hop is really a true challenge for me! But I kept telling myself it was just a giant card lol! I designed the 2 page layout using colors from the Floral Impressions DSP and using what little 12x12 cardstock I had on hand. Luckily I had some Two-Toned Pool Party cardstock that helped with the background.
The Impressions Abloom bundle is so pretty and I love the detail die that cuts the slits in the flower petals; it really adds a lot of texture. But it's so nice that it is a separate die so you can choose when to use it!
I always end up with tons of photos during spring when so many things in my yard and nearby park are blooming I wanted to give myself plenty of options for showing them off so these squares will all fit 3x3 photos.
And here is a close up of some of the flowers. I stamped the Fresh Freesia one and the Pool Party Flower is accented with a bit of Misty Moonlight ink dabbed on with a sponge dauber.
This was such a fun project to tackle and I think I've gained a bit of confidence for designing my own pages but there was still a fair amount of dillydallying!
I hope you hop through all the other projects and get inspired. Be sure to leave comments to say hi!

I haven't used the Thoughtful Journey DSP in a hot minute but I thought this one pattern would be a nice one to use for another fall card. When you have such a pretty paper you really don't have to go over the top with the other elements.
I layered a piece of retired wide ribbon across the middle of the card front and then added the other elements. The Autumn Leaves dies are used to cut a few leaves out of more of the Thoughtful Journey DSP which are layered on the left side.
The sentiment is from the Autumn to Remember stamp set which is part of the new Stampin' Up! scrapbooking line and can obviously be used on cards too! I used Lost Lagoon and Very Vanilla cardstock and then fussy cut the shape. It's popped over the ribbon with dimensionals.
A few Pool Party Opaque Faceted Gems are added for a bit of shine for the final touch.

You can't go wrong with a nice pine or evergreen stamp set especially this time of year! The Stampin' Up! Peaceful Evergreens bundle is perfect for Christmas and winter cards and it's such a classic style that you can use them for years to come. I designed this card for a recent class and wanted to pair the stamp set bundle along with the Painted Trees 3D embossing folder. They are a match made in Christmas card heaven!
This design starts with a Cherry Cobbler card base, then a layer of Basic White. The white is topped with a piece of Garden Green Two-Toned cardstock that is embossed with the Painted Trees embossing folder. A sanding block is used to on the raised image to pull out some of the white core of the cardstock and it looks like snow dusted branches.
The evergreen is stamped in Garden Green ink and is topped with the coordinating overlay die cut to add a snow covered look as well. The tree is popped on dimensionals and topped with a gold foil star.
The fun gold embossed sentiment is on a Cherry Cobbler die cut label from the Peaceful Season stamp and die set. The gold trim is perfect for threading through the label and adding a bow to the side.

I tend to send out a handful of Thanksgiving cards so I like to design a few fall-ish cards that can work for that purpose. The Autumn Leaves stamp set and dies that came out last year and are still available work perfectly for cards for this time of year. I designed this one for my local stampers to make at a recent class and I made a few extras for my own needs too. I love this color combo as well!
One of the current In Colors from the 2023-2025 set is Copper Clay and let me tell you it's a superstar in the autumn card arena! It's just the right amount of brown and orange! I used it here for the card base as well as the ink for the oak leaf. The next layer is a piece of the Sweet Days of Autumn DSP that was released with the new scrapbooking line in a perfect subtle Old Olive pattern.
I used Very Vanilla and the Perennial Postage die set to make the main panel for the card. If you want an easy way to add some pop and detail to your designs think about using dies that add a different edge to your panels. A stitched detail, a cut out or this "stamp" edge is just an easy way to bring your cards up a notch. My favorite dies that do this are the Perennial Postage dies, Spotlight on Nature dies, Stitched Shapes dies and Deckled Rectangle dies. Give them a try and see!
I stamped all of my leaves around the edge and stamped off some of the images so there would be a variety. The veins of the leaves are stamped next in Pecan Pie ink. I used the same ink for the sentiment from the Iconic Imagery set as well as the sponged edge of the panel.
Natural Tones linen thread in Copper Clay is used for a nice bow and then 2 Earth Tones Shimmer Gems are added near the sentiment. My stampers at class actually used the Faux Glass Dots for their embellishments because all of those colors matched this card so they had a choice of which color to use.
Do you ever get great satisfaction in using up the tiniest bits of supplies? I certainly do! And when I saw the Addicted to CAS challenge of "wood" my thoughts went immediately to the narrow off cuts from one of the exclusive Autumn to Remember scrapbooking kit papers that I had been saving. If we could buy full sheets of just this pattern it would be in my shopping cart so fast! Anyway I used these narrow strips in a wood grain pattern and added in the sweet Humble Home stamp set for this clean and simple design.
The card base is Basic White thick then a layer of Basic White embossed with the Snowflake Sky embossing folder. I added 3 of the wood grain DSP on the side.
I stamped the house from the Humble Home stamp set in Gray Granite and then colored it in with Stampin' Blends. Once the house was punched out I layered it with dimensionals over the top of a retired iridescent snowflake cut out.
A Petunia Pop Glimmer paper heart is added to the house and the sentiment is stamped in Petunia Pop ink and trimmed to be added to the card front.
If I had more of this DSP I would definitely be making multiples of this design! It's so sweet and I love the colors.

The Reindeer Days bundle was one of the first items I added to my cart during the demonstrator preorder and it is sooooo cute! I love the classic red/green color combo of the DSP, the adhesive peppermints are adorable and the stamp and die bundle has a great mix of line art images and stand alone die cut shapes. I had fun designing this card for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.
How cute is this one?? I started with a Real Red base and then added the Reindeer Days DSP cut on an angle to follow the sketch. I added a narrow band of Garden Green Two-Toned cardstock on the edge of the DSP to define the angle a bit more.
I cut a Basic White tag using a retired punch and then die cut the pieces for the deer and pieced him together. I added a red glimmer paper nose because you can't go wrong with a Rudolph!
The holly leaves are die cut from Garden Green Two-Toned card stock. I cut 2 and stacked then with the bottom leaves on the lighter side. The top leaves are adhered with a dimensional and then Red Glimmer paper berries are added on top.
The sentiment is from the Peaceful Season stamp set and is stamped in Real Red and fussy cut and added to the side of the holly.
A Garden Green linen thread bow is tied to the top of the tag and a few Garden Green Earth Tones Shimmer gems are added to center band.

I usually make heavily layered cards with ribbon and gems and all the 'stuff' so when I make a clean and simple card it can seem a bit naked and I have to stop myself from doing more! My card today is for The CAS Colours & Sketches challenge is to use Pumpkin Pie, Night of Navy and Wild Wheat. I tried out a bunch of different ideas but nothing seemed to look just right. I'm still feeling that this one is a bit too basic but it's certainly clean and simple!
I would usually say that Wild Wheat was the problem but this time I had a hard time with the Pumpkin Pie and ended up just using it with the little candy dot accents.
The card base is Night of Navy, then a layer of Basic White. On top of that is a smaller piece of Basic White with all the stamping. The trees from Autumn to Remember stamp set are stamped in Wild Wheat. I used Night of Navy ink and the Sweetly Scripted stamp set to stamp the sentiment right across the trees.
To bring in the last challenge color Pumpkin Pie I dug through my stash of retired embellishments and I came up with these candy dots. I must have had thousands of them because they retired like 8 years ago and I still have a bunch! Feels good to use them up but I have a long way to go!

I love how Stampin' Up!'s new scrapbooking line can also be used in card making. I have gotten a lot of cards made with the Autumn to Remember stamp set which is one of the coordinating stamp sets to the the fall scrapbooking kits and other products. And I haven't even mentioned the DSP and Two-Toned cardstock. The Autumn to Remember set is used for all the stamping on this card. I am playing along with the Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge with their color combination of Peach Pie, Pecan Pie and Pumpkin Pie (all that pie!!).
I cut 1.5 inch strips of each of the colors and then stamped the line of trees all the way across in the same color of ink. They were added to the Pumpkin Pie card base and then the overhang was trimmed off.
The large sentiment is stamped in Pecan Pie on a Basic White tag. I added the trio of trees in stamped off once Peach Pie ink on the tag as well for a nice layered look.
The small oak leaf from this set is stamped in each of the 3 challenge colors and then fussy cut and added to the tag. Some Peach Pie bordered ribbon is added to the tag and then tied with a linen thread bow.
A few copper colored sequins are added for a bit of shine as the last touch.

I think my campaign to bring autumn weather to central Virginia by making autumn themed cards is working. It seems that it might be a bit cooler today if I can believe the forecast! I created this card as my customer thank you card for orders placed in September. I mailed out a whole big stack the other day so thank you to all of my fabulous customers who continue to support my small business! The Humble Home stamp and punch continue to make adorable cards (if I do say so myself!).
Fall seems to be the time I use Crumb Cake the most and I've used here as it is a nice neutral background.
A piece of the new 12x12 Two-Toned cardstock in Early Espresso that I used a sanding block on is a nice rustic touch behind the main images. Linen thread wrapped around the panel adds to the rustic feel as well.
To make the maple leaf I started with a piece of Basic White and then used blending brushes and Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry and Old Olive ink pads to cover the whole panel. I used smaller blobs of color so I would be sure to get a little of each color. I made a lot of this design and used almost a full 8.5x11 piece of cardstock. Once my whole piece was covered I spritzed it lightly with water for some variation of color then die cut the leaves with the Autumn Leaves die set. To bring a bit of texture to the cut leaves I crumpled them and then adhered them to the card front.
The roof the of the house is stamped in Early Espresso and the house is in Crumb Cake and then punched out. The windows and door are stamped in Early Espresso, colored with blends markers and then fussy cut before being added to the house. A Cajun Craze heart is also punched and added. The finished house is adhered with dimensionals to the card front.
I pulled out the Choose Happy stamp set for the sentiment and stamped it in Early Espresso. Finally a few Faux Glass dots in Cajun Craze (but any from this set of embellishments works on this card design! They are prefect fall colors!) finish this card.

I keep thinking that if I stamp it, they will come. Kind of like the movie Field of Dreams. If I keep stamping the fall cards then maybe the fall weather will show up! So I'm at it again with another autumn themed card to call out for cooler weather and some beautiful foliage! I used the prompt of leaves from CAS on Fridays for this one.
I had unearthed some long retired cardstock a few months ago and I've tried to use it up when I can and I had one full sheet left and I thought the natural look would work well for this clean and simple design.
I started with the retired Naturals Ivory for the card base, then another layer of it cut with the Deckled Rectangle dies. I sponged the edges with Pecan Pie ink to add detail but keeping with the simple look. I used the die again to cut a corner of Iconic Celebrations DSP in a nice Pecan Pie plaid pattern to add interest. the whole panel is then popped on the card front with dimensionals.
The sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set is stamped in Pecan Pie to the side of the DSP.
Using the new Autumn to Remember stamp set I stamped the maple leaf onto a piece of color blended cardstock that I had left over from another project. I used Pecan Pie ink and stamped off once for a very light look. The leaf is then fussy cut.
A linen thread bow completes the card keeping it all clean and simple.

I've completed my first scrapbook pages ever! After card making for 20 years and not doing a bit of scrapbooking I've jumped into it now that Stampin' Up! has released these fantastic scrapbook kits where you get everything you need to create 6 coordinating pages. I have to admit I was hesitant at first because a 12x12 page is a huge area compared to cards. But the kit made everything so easy! Everything I needed was included except for a paper trimmer and adhesive! The instructions were clear for cutting the cardstock and Designer Series Paper as well as for placement of all the pieces. The embellishments and stickers were easy to use and super cute.
Now all I need is for a scrapbooker to give me some tips on photographing these big pages!!
My photos definitely don't do these pages justice. All the little wood cut embellishments are even cuter in real life!
I have some photos from when my boys were little in mind for these pages. I just need to pull them up and figure out what I need to print.
One of the nice things about the instructions for these new kits is that they give you the number and size and orientation of the photos you need if you complete the pages following the instructions so you can have your photos printed and ready to go when you put the kit together. And placeholder photo pages are included so you can know exactly where the photos are going to go.
I love how all the pages use the same Designer Series Paper and colors but they don't feel repetitive at all. They coordinate beautifully!
As a brand new scrapbooker I can say I think anyone can be successful using these kits. Newbies can complete multiple pages right away while I think seasoned scrapbookers will like having so many supplies with which they can stick to the given layouts or be able to put their own spin on the pages.
I hope you'll check out the new kits that are now available and jump into scrapbooking with me!
You can purchase the kits as well as many coordinating 'extras' in my ONLINE STORE. All of the new scrapbooking products are under the 'What's New' category!

Supplies: Stampin' Up! Autumn to Remember scrapbooking kit, adhesive
The other day I got to introduce my stampers to some of the new scrapbooking products that Stampin' Up! has just released. I was able to make a few scrapbook pages (my first ever!!) using the Autumn to Remember kit to have on display along with a lot of the new Two-Toned cardstock so they could see what these new products looked like up close. But since my classes have always been card making focused I wanted to incorporate some of these items into a card. The Sweet Days of Autumn DSP was the perfect thing to use!
This card uses the new DSP, Two-Toned cardstock as well as the Autumn to Remember stamp set along with a few products you can find in the other catalogs!
The card base is Early Espresso and then I used 3 different panels to add texture and color. The first panel is a piece of Cajun Craze Two-Toned cardstock which is embossed with the Eyelet embossing folder and then sanded down a bit to bring out that white core. The next panel is a piece of the Sweet Days of Autumn DSP which brings in more great fall color. The final panel is Old Olive stamped with the oak leaf stamp from the Autumn to Remember stamp set in the same color ink.
I used the Spotlight on Nature dies for the big sentiment which combines two stamp sets (how's that for versatility??). The 'hey' is from the Saying Hey set and the 'autumn' is from the More Than Autumn set.
And now for the cuteness factor! Using another pattern from the Sweet Days of Autumn DSP we fussy cut some of the different animals and leaves and added them around the sentiment circle. The 3 larger animals on the page; a deer, bear and fox are balanced nicely by 3 smaller animals; a bird, owl and hedgehog. The variety of animals and leaves allowed everyone to create a different card from my samples if they wanted to. Some people found it hard to decide which ones to use because they are all so cute! We finished the card with some nice fall colored embellishments by added some Faux Glass Dots. All of the colors work wonderfully with the colors of the Sweet Days of Autumn DSP.
I'm really excited about the new scrapbooking line and as a long time "Cardmaking Only" paper crafter I think these kits will give me a great starting spot (and confidence booster) for beginning memory keeping but I'm also happy to see that the new line contains many products that can easily be used for cardmaking as well. The best of both worlds I would say!

The new stamp set Autumn to Remember has been a wonderful addition to my fall stamping supplies. Even though it was primarily released to coordinate with the new scrapbooking kits as a card maker I am appreciating having another fall themed set to stamp with.
I pulled out some classic fall colors and the Autumn to Remember stamp set and put this one together.
It starts with a Cajun Craze card base stamped all over with the maple and oak leaves from the set. Next I embossed a piece of Two-Toned Early Espresso cardstock with the Eyelet embossing folder and did a little bit of standing on the raised pattern to give it that really nice worn look. I edged the panel with a narrow strip of Sweet Days of Autumn in an Old Olive pattern. A bit of line thread is tied around the panel before adhering it to the card front.
The sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso ink and fussy cut and popped on dimensionals. The trees are one stamp which I stamped 3 times in the different colors then fussy cut the trees so I could have one in each color. They are also adhered with dimensionals.
The finishing touch are 2 Faux Glass Dots under the sentiment. I love the fall vibes of this one and I think it will be prefect to send out at Thanksgiving.

As soon as I saw the new Sweet Days of Autumn DSP that was just released with the new scrapbooking line of products I knew I wanted to do a card with the animals on one of the paper designs. They are adorable and perfect for fall cards. A tiny bit of fussy cutting and a little stamping and I've got a clean and simple autumn card. The inspiration was from the current Paper Players challenge which is a clean and simple card with any plant or animal. I went with both!
I started with a Basic White thick card base and stamped the line of trees from the Autumn to Remember set in Mossy Meadow. I drew a light pencil line about one inch up from the bottom to help me get my trees in a nice even row and then just erased it when I was finished.
The bear and leaves were fussy cut and the leaves are adhered with glue and the adorable bear is popped on dimensionals.
The scale of the elements called for a smaller sentiment so I grabbed the Choose Happy stamp set and used the Hello and Autumn stamps to create the greeting in Cajun Craze ink.
This style and the variety of animals in the DSP would work really well for a set of notecards. I'm thinking they would be perfect for a hostess gift for a Thanksgiving gathering! I'll have to add that to my list of things to stamp!!

So I get all this wonderful new scrapbooking stuff in the mail yesterday (check out the video that I posted earlier today) and what do I do but make a card! I can't help myself I guess. The Autumn to Remember stamp set coordinates with the Autumn to Remember scrapbooking kit but is also perfect for fall cards as well. I hope to try out at least one of the layouts from the scrapbooking kit over the weekend so stay tuned!
I used the prompt of "Stripes" from the Seize the Birthday challenge to get this card started. The base is Crumb Cake and then a layer of Country Woods DSP in the nice multi-colored board pattern. I think these count as stripes right?
The next layer is the new Two-Toned cardstock in Pool Party and it looks so cool after being embossed! I tore the edges and then used the Eyelet embossing folder on the piece. Next I lightly sanded it. I had an old sanding block that Stampin' Up! used to sell but any sand paper would be fine I think. Just rub lightly to take the color off and leave you with the white core showing! I love it! I used the light side of the Two-Toned paper here.
I embossed the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set on a Crumb Cake label cut with the Iconic Imagery dies. After stamping the leaves from the Autumn to Remember stamp set I fussy cut them and adhered them around the label using dimensionals.
A linen thread bow accents the maple leaf and 3 retired Pool Party Opaque Faceted Gems jazz up the label.

Have you all seen the new Stampin' Up! scrapbooking products that just came out?? I'm really excited to get my order and use the new Two-Tone cardstock as well as explore what the kits are like. I have to be honest that I've always been a bit intimidated with scrapbooking. It just seems like soooooo much space to fill with a 12x12 layout compared to cards. I did try digital scrapbooking back in the day but it just wasn't my thing doing all the design work on the computer. I think dipping my toes into the scrapbooking world will be so much easier with the new kits which have a layout guide as well as detailed instructions. And what a time saver having so many coordinating products included.
My order is supposed to come on Thursday and I hope to do an unboxing video and show all the products as well as compare the new Two-Toned cardstock with our current papers. I hope you'll follow me on my Facebook page so you can watch too! You can find me HERE!
You should definitely check out the new products! Check them out in my ONLINE STORE. To view the brochure with all the samples and products grouped together in the suites CLICK HERE.
Last week I stumbled upon a new challenge blog dedicated to digital scrapbooking with My Digital Studio. It's called MDS Monday and this week they are starting us off with a sketch challenge. As I've been creating pages for my 2012 photo book I've found I need some inspiration to get started just like I do with cards sometimes. I'm glad I found this challenge and will be looking forward to the next one!
I thought this was a cute picture of Alex and I to use for this sketch. It was fun playing with some new downloads that I got a few weeks ago.
Remember that the Online Extravaganza ends this Wednesday! And if you're interested in My Digital Studio to start creating your own projects it is on sale for 50% off but only until Wednesday. Check out my online store to get begin shopping or to download a trial version of My Digital Studio.
