Nothing's Better than Autumn



I know we are still in summer and it is really hot in some places, but I am dreaming of cooler fall weather and cozy autumn days filled with all the colors of changing leaves. That is what inspired me to make this card. I am going to be using many products from the new 2024 Sept-Dec Mini Catalog on this card--if you don't have a catalog yet and aren't already working with a Stampin' Up demonstrator, email me (stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com) and I will be happy to send one to you. 

Let's make this card! Gather your supplies:

1. Copper Clay cardstock --Card base 5 1/2"" by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at 4 1/4".A second piece 1" by 5 1/4" and a scrap for cutting the "Nothing's Better Than" die.
2. Basic Beige cardstock--a 4" by 5 1/4" piece for the inside of your card and a scrap for the sentiment cut with the Greetings of the Season dies.
3. Splendid Autumn 6" by 6"  DSP--3" by 5 1/4"
4. Stamp Sets--More Than Autumn
5. Dies--More Than Autumn, Greetings of the Season
6. Ink--Pumpkin Pie
7. Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder
8. Faux Glass Dots
9. Woven Golden Leaves
10. Wild Wheat Rustic Striped Ribbon
11. Natural Tones Linen Thread--the Copper Clay one
12. Basic supplies--Bone folder, Paper Snips, adhesive (I like Multipurpose Glue and Seal+), Paper Trimmer, Take Your Pick Tool,  Regular Dimensionals, Cut and Emboss Machine, Tear 'N Tape, Glue Dots

Fold your card base in half. Run the 1" piece of Copper Clay through the Cut and Emboss Machine inside the Birch Wood embossing folder. Attach that to the left side of the card base and attach the 3" piece of Splendid Autumn DSP right next to the embossed piece. If you get lost along the way here, watch my Facebook Live video below, and then join me every Monday at 1 pm PST for a new card. 

Let's make the sentiment piece. Use the die from Greetings of the Season to cut the Basic Beige cardstock. The "Nothing's Better Than" is cut out of a scrap of Copper Clay cardstock. Stamp the word Autumn from the More than Autumn stamp set in Pumpkin Pie alone the bottom of the die piece. I used glue (or you could have cut it out with some Adhesive paper) to attach the word dies to the top of this as below--watch my video to see some tricks on how to do this. Use about a 5" piece of the Copper Clay Natural Tones Linen Thread through the hole on the die piece (fold the thread in half and push the folded side through the hole in the die cut then pull the free ends through the circle you've created and pull tight) . 

                                                 

Attach about a 4" piece of the Rustic Striped Ribbon using Tear 'N Tape. Place it horizontally where the middle of your sentiment piece will be. I used one each of the small and large Woven Golden Leaves and attached them using Glue Dots so the corners will be hidden under the sentiment. Attach the sentiment using Dimensionals. I used one large and one small  Faux Glass Dots on the bottom right. 

Use the 4" by 5 1/4" piece of Basic Beige for the inside piece. Before attaching them, stamp 3 of the tiny pumpkins from More Than Autumn in Pumpkin Pie. 


Here's another view of the finished card.

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w

  Pick of the Patch Joy Fold Card This fun joy fold card just makes me smile. I'm loving the Pick of the Patch bundle lately for its versatility--it can make beautiful fall cards, great Thanksgiving cards, and today a Halloween card. And all from a relatively inexpensive punch bundle. Now are you wondering where the Pumpkin Pie Designer Series Paper in the background is from? It's not DSP--I made it with the Sketched Plaid background stamp. Another versatile stamp set that I'm sure will be making an appearance on some holiday cards later this year. For some hints and tips on using this large sized stamp, and making this card, please watch my Facebook Live down below. Better yet, join me every Monday at 1 pm PST on my Stamp with Dr Robin Facebook group to make another fun card.  Time to make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Basic Black cardstock --Card base 4 1/4" by 8 1/2"" scored on the long side at  3" and folded along the score line. Second piece 3

Playing with Thoughtful Journey DSP Hopefully you have received your new 2024-25 Annual Catalog by now--if not please email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com and let me send you one if you don't have a demonstrator. I am making a card today using the gorgeous 6" by 6" Thoughtful Journey DSP as each page is more beautiful than the last. These pages are stand alone amazing--all they really need is a sentiment added to make a card, but I thought I'd fancy them up today with some other new products. I am loving the In Color Glimmer Paper as well as the Unbounded Love bundle that I used for the sentiment. If you have trouble following along with these directions, please watch my Facebook live below.   Let's make this card. Gather your supplies:  1. Mossy Meadow cardstock --Card base 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at  4 1/4" and folded along the score line. A second piece 3 3/4" by 2 3/8" 2. Basic White cardstock-- 3 3/4" by 5"
