Stampin’ Friends Fall Card Sample
What do you love most about fall? The cooler temperatures? The taste and smell of pumpkin spice? The brilliant fall colors and the changing of the seasons?
For me, it’s the fall foliage. That’s what I miss most about living in the Midwest. You can see some color change here in Arizona, but not as much as the brilliant maples of Minnesota, North Dakota, Wisconsin, and Nebraska. (I won’t, however, miss the snow when it falls in the Midwest!)
Today’s card and 3D treat package reflect some of that beautiful fall color.
This card uses:
- A Blackberry Bliss card stock base
- Gold Foil layer measuring 5 1/4″ x 4″
- Very Vanilla layer measuring 5″ x 3 3/4″ embossed with the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder
- Gold Foil cut with largest scallop circle from Layering Circles Dies
- Blackberry Bliss — largest stitched circle from Stitched Shapes Dies
- Leaf from Gathered Leaves Dies cut out of Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper (Guess what? The Plaid Tidings 6 x 6 paper is on sale–15 percent off through October 31, 2020!)
- Two leaves cut in Mango Melody and Cajun Craze card stock
- Sentiment from Itty Bitty Greetings stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink and punched with Classic Label Punch
- Bow created with Gold Cord (part of the Wonder of the Season Ribbon Combo Pack)
And, I made a matching treat box with one of Stampin’ Up!’s Gold Mini Pizza Boxes, using many of the same ingredients as the card above. Lots of fun treats fit in this gorgeous box.
Thanks for stopping by today! lease let me know if you have questions about this card or other paper crafting techniques. If you’re not already working with a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I’d love to help! Enjoy!

Beautiful card and box! The colors are definitely popping here in Michigan and these leaves look like what I see outside my window. While there might not be plaid leaves like these gorgeous ones, there is something about that beautiful plaid that does remind me of a clump of autumn trees.
Absolutely gorgeous Kim! Love the Fall colours!
I love the fall colors too, but not the snow in the nearby mountains! Brr…
I need those pizza boxes and gold ribbon!
Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Love the use of the plaid for the big leaf!! Great colors and thanks for the directions!!!
What a wonderful set for fall. I’m loving those yummy colors!
Kim, i’m right there with you. I miss those changing colors up north. I’m from New York and we lived in North Dakota for a few years, too. I definitely do NOT miss the snow that is coming though. Your projects are a perfect homage to the fall season and I love the pop of gold detail. Perfect inspiration to get those gold pizza boxes out, thank you!
Wow, your card and treat box really made it feel like Fall with those fabulous colors! Love all of it! I am still in the dreaded New England area and am NOT looking for the winter months, lol.
