I’m always looking for lots of different ways to use my stamp sets. Since the Circle Sayings stamp set debuted in Stampin’ Up!’s 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, I’ve had fun using it with different layouts and funs, different patterned papers, for different seasons, and different sentiments. Find it on page 17. Bundle it with the coordinating 2 3/8-inch Circle Punch and save 10 percent.
Today, I show a couple of examples that feature the Circle Sayings stamp set to create fall cards with the hugely popular All About Autumn Designer Series Paper and the Autumn Leaves Bundle. Both of these cards showcase versatile layouts that work with a variety of stamp sets and paper.

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.

You love creating handmade greeting cards with rubber stamps, ink, and paper. But sometimes, you enjoy the challenge of using a new technique to give your creations a different look.
In today’s post, I show you how to create a cool background with rubbing alcohol and Stampin’ Up!’s Stampin’ Blends. Be sure to watch the video below to see exactly how it’s done.
Create a Fall Card with a Fun Technique
Start with a piece of Stampin’ Up!’s Vellum Card Stock, cut at 5 1/4 x 4 inches
Cut a piece of Adhesive Sheets to 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8″
Adhere the Adhesive Sheet to the back of the Vellum Card Stock
With your choice of Stampin’ Blend (alcohol-based blending markers) colors, scribble or draw on top of the Vellum
Fill a Water Painter with 91 percent rubbing alcohol
Squirt drops of rubbing alcohol on your scribbles, making sure you’ve covered most of the ink
You can let it dry as is or blow on it to move the ink around
Let it dry (it doesn’t take long)
You can then die cut or use any way you wish as a background
For the two cards above, I die cut the Vellum background with a Stitched Rectangle Die and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine in the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder. I then layered it on a piece of Cherry Cobbler Card Stock also die cut with a Stitched Rectangle. The sentiments come from the Peaceful Moments stamp set found in Stampin’ Up!’s 2022-2023 Annual Catalog.
I love this technique because you get a different result each time. Switch out the colors to change the theme or holiday. Click here to see another example of this technique. (Please note: Some of the products used may be retired, but other stamp sets can be used.)
