Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some plans in the works and the weather is going to coordinate with you. I’ll be at work all day today and tomorrow and last I checked it’s supposed to be a beautiful weekend here in NJ. But living in NJ that could change in an instant.
Today’s card I played with the new suite coming in the September-December 2023 Mini Catalog. In case you can’t tell, I’m really loving the new catalog. My next order going in will be more Christmas items. I wasn’t quite ready yet. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Bundle along with the All About Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder and the Oxidized Copper Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today. The only thing I didn’t used from the Suite was the embellishments. This is such an awesome suite; I hope it’s on your shopping list to order in September. Want to see a quick video on how I made this card? Click Here and go to my Instagram reels.
I started by embossing a Pretty Peacock card front using the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered a panel of All About Autumn DSP to 2 thins strips of All About Autumn DSP using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the DSP to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered card front to a Pretty Peacock card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a panel of Pumpkin Pie, I stamped the maple leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pumpkin Pie Ink. I cut the stamped image out using the Autumn Leaves Dies. Using the Autumn Leaves Dies, I cut another maple leaf from the panel of Pumpkin Pie and the leaf veins from each of the panels of Oxidized Copper DSP. I adhered the veins to the leaves. I adhered the leaves to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a panel of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiments from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Autumn Leaves Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the 1/4″ Metallic Copper Ribbon from the Copper & Natural Ribbon Combo Pack. I adhered the bow to the leaves using a Glue Dot. I added a few Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots to the card front.
On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. I cut a few of the elm leaves from the Oxidized Copper DSP using the Autumn Leaves Dies. I adhered the leaves to the top of the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Pretty Peacock mat then to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base.
To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the maple leaf image from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Pumpkin Pie Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the envelope front and flap. I stamped the vein image from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS: 4G2N3MDT
Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me! If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog! Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs.

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well. I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.
Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater. And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!
But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:
- You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly! OR….
- If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.

How my shares work: I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ x 6″ pieces (or 6″ x 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list. I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag with labels listing the Name, Item # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can! Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!
