AUTUMN FIELDS

Today's Autumn Fields Fun Fold card uses several of the dies from the Bundle.  I think the dies are my favorite part of this bundle.

The stamped images for the leaves and flowers in this bundle have coordinating dies, but there are also dies for additional leaves that provide their own detail, so stamping is not required.

The only stamped image in my autumn bouquet is the Wheat Head.  The other four leaves were just made with die cuts from Very Vanilla Cardstock.  

I used Stampin' Blends to darken the detail cuts in the leaves and then added a little color around the edges and center area with Sponge Daubers.

This card is a very easy fun fold card.  If you can cut, score and fold cardstock you can make this fun fold.

Watch this video to see just how quick and simple it is.

Once you have your card base scored and folded, you can decorate it any way you like.  I used the Autumn Opulence Designer Series Paper, but as you can see in the video, there are also other options.

The focal point on the center fold can also be any shape you like.  I used the double-sided scalloped die from Autumn Fields Dies for my focal point and then decorated it with the die cut leaves.

The back of the card is used for your personal message.

All the sentiments on this card are from the Sweet Words & Labels Stamp Set.  I used the "rock & roll" technique with one of the small decorative element stamps to add color to each corner of the message layer.  I first inked the stamp with Petal Pink ink and then "rolled" the edges of the stamp lightly on a Cajun Craze ink pad.  

Adding the couple of die cut leaves is totally optional, but I had them leftover from the card front so added them to the lower corner.  Adding DSP to the side panels on the back is also optional, but I do feel it adds a nice "finished" look.

A PRETTY POINSETTIA CHRISTMAS

Since we are now almost halfway through July, it is definitely time to get started on my Christmas Cards.  So, this week is going to be Christmas in July.

And what better way to start our 2026 Christmas Cards than with the Pretty Poinsettia Bundle.   This is a new July Online Exclusive product.  If you love Poinsettias, you will love this bundle.  The dies create gorgeous, layered poinsettias with lots of texture, and the stamp set includes some great greetings with beautiful fonts that are large enough to stand alone on any pretty designer series paper you may already have.

This pretty pink card was made with four of the 2026-2028 In Colors.  The dotted background was made with Hydrangea Hue ink, Blending Brushes and a mask from the Water & Dotted Lines Decorative Masks.  After creating the dotted lines, the cardstock was embossed with the Forever Plaid embossing folder.

The four layers of the Poinsettia were die cut from Barely Blush Cardstock and darkened in the center with Strawberry Slush ink and a small Blending Brush.  The leaf was die cut from Peaceful Pine cardstock.  I love how the In-Colors always work well with each other.  It saves stressing out about color coordination.

I used the Poinsettia stamp and leaves from the bundle to decorate the inside of the card.  The flower was stamped first and then masked so the leaves could be stamped over it but look like they were behind the flower.

For detailed instructions to make this card, use this link to download a FREE TUTORIAL.

A list of the products used is shown below.  The inside sentiment and embellishments are retired but can easily be substituted with whatever products you have.

If you love the Pretty Poinsettia Bundle, Stampin' Up!® has a new Craft Class available that uses this Bundle.  

If you have not tried these Craft Classes, they are an awesome way to get ideas and lots of stamping tips.  I have tried a couple of the classes and enjoyed them very much.  Even with 20 years of stamping experience, I learned so much! 

I've added the Pretty Poinsettia class to my product list below, so it is easy for you to check it out.  Live Streaming of the class will occur on July 16, but you can always watch it on demand any time after that.  The class information includes a supply list that you will want to check out to make sure you have everything you need for the class.
