Raise your hand if you love the changing colors of the leaves in the fall? (I love the sight of them, but I don’t miss the cold weather now that I live in Arizona.) Stampin’ Up!’s Leaf Fall 3D Folder is a perfect fit for fall card-making projects. Find it on page 53 of the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog. For just $10, it packs a wallop. The folder itself stands out as a main element. In this post, I show a few ways you can use it in your fall paper crafting projects. I feel it works well for any fall occasion — from birthdays to weddings to thinking of you cards to thank you notes.
Blending Brush Technique
Here are some details about the above card:
Start with a piece of Very Vanilla card stock measuring 5 inches x 3 3/4 inches.
Run this through the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder and your Stampin’ Cut Emboss machine.
With Blending Brushes, apply a combination of Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie, and Crushed Curry.
Stamp a sentiment from the Lovely You set with Cherry Cobber ink on Very Vanilla card stock.
Punch sentiment with Double Oval Punch, as well as a piece of Cherry Cobbler with the scallop.
Attach the embossed piece to Cherry Cobbler measuring 5 1/4 inches by 4 inches.
Wrap 18 inches of Gold & Vanilla 3/8-inch Satin-Edge Ribbon around this panel and tie a bow.
Pop up the sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Attach to a Thick Very Vanilla Card Stock base.
Add Champagne Rhinestone Jewels.
Copper Foil Card
For a really elegant look, choose any of Stampin’ Up!’s foil papers to emboss with the folder. You get gorgeous results. The card above uses Copper Foil. I heat embossed a sentiment (from the Art Gallery stamp set) with copper embossing powder. Imagine your pretty card with gold and silver foils, too.
I layered the embossed foil on a piece of black card stock and onto a Soft Suede base.
Very Vanilla with Colored Ribbon
This folder creates quick and easy cards. I just used Very Vanilla card stock to create this striking card. It’s layered on Pumpkin Pie Card Stock and a Basic Black card base. Color the Stampin’ Up!’s Black and White Gingham Ribbon with a Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blend to this celebrate card.

Amazing Silhouettes Emboss Resist Technique
Thanksgiving brings to mind fall and the changing foliage colors. (In Arizona, we see some changing foliage, but not as much as North Dakota and Minnesota where I grew up.) Today’s card uses Stampin’ Up!’s Amazing Silhouettes stamp set and introduces the Emboss Resist technique. A little sponging makes this tree come alive. Check out the how-to video below to watch how I created this handmade card.
Here are a few details of how this handmade card comes together:
Start with Shimmery White card stock measuring 2 1/2 inches by 5 1/4 inches.
Rub the Embossing Buddy along the paper to remove any static (Note: find this and other embossing tools–Embossing Additions Tool Kit–on page 49 of Stampin’ Up!’s July-December Mini Catalog.)
Ink the tree stamp from Amazing Silhouettes with Versarmark and stamp on the Shimmery White.
Pour White Embossing Powder on the image, tapping off the excess.
Heat with Heat Tool until shiny.
Use Sponge Daubers to gently apply desired ink colors. I used Cherry Cobbler and Crushed Curry. Wipe excess ink with a paper towel.
Afix this piece to a Crushed Curry piece measuring 5 1/4 inches by 2 5/8 inches.
Add sentiment of choice (I used greetings from the Art Gallery stamp set) and Linen Thread. Any sentiment works for this card including Happy Thanksgiving. You can also use this card design for October and November birthdays.
With Stampin’ Dimensionals, pop this panel up on a 5 1/4 inch x 4 inch Cherry Cobbler card stock embossed with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder.
Attach to Cherry Cobbler card base.
Add Champagne Rhinestone Jewels

Getting a new stamp set, bundle, or Designer Series Paper is exciting! It’s fun to rip into the package and start creating immediately. But oftentimes, you’re stumped.

Additionally, get other ideas by participating in a card swap.
That’s just one of the fun activities my team of Kim’s Paper Krafters participates in. (Click here to read about the great Starter Kit special and also discover how to become a member of my team.)

Making handmade greeting cards with Stampin’ Up! products is fun and satisfying, but it’s awesome there are other a lot of other projects to make. With our rubber stamps, ink, and paper, we can also create a host of small gift items and gift packaging. In today’s post, you’ll learn how to create a small gift bag with the Sweetest Christmas 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper.
With this simple design,(inspired by In the Pink Designs by Cathryn) you can use many patterned papers, stamp sets, and ribbons to create a variety of different gift bags. Fill the gift bags with chocolates and other goodies to give to neighbors, co-workers, gym buddies, book club pals, and more.
This easy-to-create gift bag uses Stampin’ Up!’s Festive Foils Designer Series Paper, Brightest Glow Stamp Set, and Labels Aglow Dies.
Sweetest Christmas Gift Bags
To create the pattern for the box, cut a piece of Designer Series Paper to 8 inches by 5 1/2 inches. You’ll be able to make two bags from each piece of 12 x 12 paper.
On the 8-inch side, score at: 1 1/4″, 3 3/4″, 5″, and 7 1/2″
On the 5 1/2-inch side, score at: 1 1/4″ and 4 1/4″
With your snips, trim the pieces as shown below. Also, watch the how-to video below for a visual look at how these bags come together.
Fold into a box, secure with Tear & Tape and decorate as you wish with sentiments, ribbon, and embellishments.
