An easy an elegant Autumn Card for a loved one!
You know that I’m all about easy crafting that looks more difficult than it is….the layers and details can elevate a simple design – and this is an example of that, I think!
The other fun thing about this card design is that it could be a horizontal top fold card, or a tall side fold card like in the picture – just change the orientation of the tag!
This autumn card features the Seasons of Chic discounted bundle, which includes the Seasons of Chic stamp set and the coordinating Chic dies. This is the perfect bundle for easy crafting because it covers all the seasons! Here it is with a fall theme. I used the leaf dies on the Distressed Gold Paper and Early Espresso Cardstock, and then adhered them onto a Very Vanilla Tailor Made Tag die cut. I love that the Tailor Made Tag dies include a die for the reinforcement – I think it’s the finishing touch! The small sentiment fits perfectly on the tag as well.
Two strips of the Texture Chic Specialty Designer Series Paper added another layer of detail (and stretched my stash because I didn’t use that much of it), and then more Early Espresso Cardstock embossed with the Painted Textured 3D Embossing Folder. My Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine got a workout for this autumn card!
If you couldn’t tell, the Texture Chic Suite Collection is one of my favourites, and one of my “go-to” set of products when designing these days. At time of writing, the Distressed Gold Sheets are unavailable to order, so that means you can’t hit the “easy” button and order almost everything that I used to create this autumn card with the one number. However, you can order everything in the suite otherwise (the bundle and the Specialty DSP) in the meantime, and then pick up the Distressed Gold Sheets when they’re back in stock (looks to be in a couple of weeks).
I’ve been working a lot on producing online classes, but one of the “hybrid” classes I’m running right now is my Stampers Club. It’s a mix of “real” crafting and “online” crafting – club members get a packet of supplies and we use those to craft the projects together in our monthly online Zoom. It’s a fun way to see some new product in real life, and still craft and socialize from the comfort of your own home. If you’re in Canada, you’re welcome to join us – just contact me for more information! It’s a six month membership in club, and you can start at any time.
Information about my online classes can be found at yamstampsmore.com or by being on my email list. Subscribers always get notified about the Early Bird specials for online class registration. Since these classes do not include product, they are available to crafters world wide! You just need internet access. Hope to see you in class soon!
