Please enjoy this Gilded Autumn Suite Card sample.
Some days, card-making inspiration flows smoothly. No sooner do I get one card designed when another idea pops into my head. I love those days when it seems creativity never ends. However, sometimes the mojo is missing. Today is one of those days. (And, let me tell you, it’s certainly not from lack of stamp sets and dies and punches and Designer Series Paper. I have plenty of that! And then some!)
I knew I wanted to use items from Stampin’ Up!’s Gilded Autumn Suite. Find it on page 45 of the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog. The Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper (DSP) includes an array of gorgeous designs — almost too good to use! I also love that the shapes in the Autumn Punch Pack punch the leaves from several sheets of the DSP. The foil accents really make several of these sheets shine!
Gilded Autumn Suite Card Sample
This card uses a base of Very Vanilla thick card stock. I love the thick card stock for bases.
The next layer is a piece of the Mint Macaron DSP with foiled leaves.
I embossed a piece of Early Espresso card stock with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder and attached it to one of the foil pieces included in the Brushed Metallic Package.
Stamped the sentiment with Early Espresso and placed it on top of the embossed piece.
Used a piece of the Copper Metallic ribbon across the front.
Adorned with leaves cut from the DSP and the Metallic Paper.
I know this card is just the start of all the wonderful cards to be created with the suite of products. Now I have to go clean the mess off the dining room table.

Stampin’ Up!’s Boho Indigo Product Medley
With the launch of Stampin’ Up!’s new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog, I vowed to actually use what I purchase. Novel idea, right? Who doesn’t get caught up in the excitement of all the new supplies? Sometimes I don’t get a chance to use some awesome products. Not this time! The blues of Misty Moonlight and Night of Navy spoke to me with the Boho Indigo Product Medley. I’ve been working hard (and, really, it’s not that hard) to use all of the included elements. It’s such an awesome grouping of supplies. For $70, the kit includes:
11-piece photopolymer stamp set (clear stamp blocks sold separately);
48 sheets of 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, 8 each of 6 double-sided designs;
Very Vanilla 6″ x 6″ dry embossed sheets, 2 each of 3 designs;
die cuts with gold foil accents, 2 sheets each of 3 designs;
Night of Navy 1/2″ Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon, 10 yards;
Very Vanilla/gold 1/4″ Pleated Ribbon, 10 yards;
paper flowers, 20 each in 2 sizes;
12-piece Boho Indigo Dies
The Card and Project
The “Sorry You’re Feeling Blue” sentiment works well with this month’s well wishes theme. I created a greeting card and mini standing Kleenex holder with the medley ingredients — with a few additional items (Gold Foil Sheets, Stitched Shapes, Layering Ovals and Cirlces) thrown in.
I grabbed the Kleenex holder idea from my friend, Bev, who makes a lot of things for craft shows.
The medley offers a set of coordinating products. Use them as you like to create something unique to you. Add your own style or flair. Or look for inspiration from others. A refill is also available for $23.
Medley Contents

48 sheets of 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, 8 each of 6 double-sided designs;

die cuts with gold foil accents, 2 sheets each of 3 designs;
Night of Navy 1/2″ Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon, 10 yards;
Very Vanilla/gold 1/4″ Pleated Ribbon, 10 yards;
paper flowers, 20 each in 2 sizes;

The stamp sentiments (A Bunch of Birthday Love to You, Thank You, Such Happy News, and Sorry You’re Feeling Blue), Designer Series Paper, and embossed sheets lend themselves well to a huge variety of designs and uses. Add your special touches with the ribbon included. Think about purchasing some Gold Foil Sheets to add fun accents to this medley. See this past post for other great card samples.
Cutting Directions
Misty Moonlight: one piece cut at 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ (for the base) and another piece cut at 8 1/2″ x 3 1/4″ scored at 4 1/4″ (this is the front flap). Also need a scrap to die cut a scallop circle for layering the sentiment.
Very Vanilla pre-embossed sheet included in the kit: one piece of your favorite design cut at 5 1/4″ x 4″
Very Vanilla card stock: 3 x 4 (for the inside) and a scrap for the sentiment (a circle cut from the Stitched Shapes)

I chose this stamp set because of its versatility. It includes sentiments for everything from Halloween, to fall, to Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Valentine’s Day.
Banner Year Halloween Card
First up is the Halloween card. It also uses Stampin’ Up!’s Magic in This Might Designer Series Paper and the Cobwebs 3D Embossing Folder.
Banner Year Fall Card
Here’s the fall card. In addition to the Banner Year stamp set, I paired it with the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper. (I must tell you. This paper is gorgeous. I hated to use it!)
Banner Year Holiday Card
And, here’s the holiday card. I added the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper and the 3/8-inch Red Ribbon.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today! I hope you found some inspiration. Be sure to visit all of the blogs on the hop and leave a comment!
The catalog offers a host of fun products. I chose the Banner Year stamp set on page 65. It includes sentiments and images for all of the upcoming holidays. Purchase it as a bundle with the Banners Pick a Punch and save 10 percent. I also used the Magic in This Night Designer Series Paper as a feature point.

Attach the 4 ¼” x 1” piece of DSP to the 4 ¼” x 1 ¼” Basic Black piece.
Place a Glue Dot on each end of the 5” inch piece of Glittered Organdy Ribbon. Stretch the ribbon across the front of the DSP/black piece, sticking the Glue Dots to the back of it.
With adhesive, adhere this entire piece to the card front, about halfway down.
Create a “faux” box with the 3” Glittered Organdy Ribbon. (Slip the piece underneath the ribbon already attached to the card stock. Tie a knot.)
Die cut the white scrap with a circle from the Stitched Shapes and the Cajun Craze with a scallop circle.
Stamp the spider web image with Cajun Craze ink onto the white circle three times, stamping off once for each web. Use Memento Black ink to stamp the “Happy Haunting” sentiment in the middle of the white circle and on top of the webs.
Place the white circle on top of the Cajun Craze scallop with Glue Dots. With Dimensionals, pop this circle up on top of the ribbon on the left-hand side of the card.
Stamp the word “Boo” in Black Memento on the 5 ¼” x 4” Whisper White. Attach to the inside of the card.
