This card is just one example. It has all the elements for fall….the colors – Mint Macaron, Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake and Early Espresso….and the stamps! – acorns and leaves. The Stamp Set is called Beautiful Autumn and it coordinates “beautifully” with the Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper
The three punches that come with the Beautiful Autumn Stamp Set….if you purchase the bundle punch out the stamped images, but they also will also you punch out the metallic acorns and leaves in the Gilded Autumn Designer Series papers.
When I am making cards, often times I make several versions. I am always thinking….what if I tried this….or wonder what it would look like with different paper. So today I’m going to show you the other two versions of this same card that I made.
I used one of my clear stamping blocks to stamp the background and then I stamped the image in Early Espresso Ink. In the first cards I used colors that were in the striped papers – Mint Macaron, Crumb Cake and Cajun Craze. For the first “re-make” I decided to make the background stamp and leaves more neutral.
For the last cards, I decided that the entire card should be more neutral, so out went the piece of striped Designer Series Paper and in come a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock that I had embossed with the Tasteful Textiles Embossing folder.
And I also switched up the Cajun Craze twine for a piece of Linen Thread. Now it was truly neutral. I had a hard time deciding which card version I liked the best, so I posted a poll on my Facebook Page. Number 3 (the all neutral card) squeaked into first place.
If you would like to make this card, these are the supplies you will need to make the first card, however you can adjust the colors and paper/cardstock to make the version you like best.

T
he new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine will be available to order on September 1st! As a Demonstrator, I was able to pre-order one during the month of August. It arrived on Monday….and I can’t say enough good things about it! It’s easy to use, easy, smooth sending the dies and embossing machine through the machine and best of all it folds up so it takes up a smaller footprint on my craft desk….leaving me more room to create! There are also easy instructions right on the base plate of how to make the “sandwiches” for both die cutting and embossing. Plus all the plates are numbered, so there is no confusion of what to use! You can find it in the Annual Catalog on pages 170-172. Presently only the larger Stampin’ Cut & Emboss is available. The Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss is not available yet….but it’s coming in the next few months!
