Autumn Glow – Autumn Theme Blog Hop

Welcome to our Autumn Theme Blog Hop! I’m excited to share this quick and easy autumn card featuring warm Cajun Craze tones, beautiful gold accents, and lots of fall foliage.

For the card base, I used Cajun Craze cardstock. I added a panel of Gold Foil Sheet, followed by a Cajun Craze cardstock panel. The gold border adds just the right amount of elegance to this warm autumn design.

The beautiful gold leaves were created using the Botanical Glow Hot Foil Dies with Gold Hot Foil. The foiled foliage makes a gorgeous background and gives the card a rich, elegant autumn feel without requiring a lot of extra work.

For the focal point, I used a piece from the Harvest & Holly Mix & Match Specialty Ephemera Pack. The pretty autumn floral design and the “Hello Autumn” greeting made creating the focal point quick and easy. I added several acorns from the Harvest Hues Mix & Match Ephemera Pack, layering them around the focal piece for added dimension and interest.

A few Gold Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems finish off the front of the card with a touch of sparkle.

Inside the Card

I kept the inside simple with a Basic White cardstock panel and added a coordinating flower arrangement from the Harvest Hues Mix & Match Ephemera Pack. It gives the inside a finished look while leaving plenty of room for a personal message.

Quick & Easy Autumn Card

This card is a great example of how Mix & Match Ephemera can make cardmaking quick and easy while still creating a beautiful, layered design. Add some hot-foiled foliage, a few embellishments, and you have an elegant autumn card in no time!

A Spooktacular Card Inspired by Frightfully Fun

Halloween is creeping closer, and I could not resist playing with one of my favorite new suites — Frightfully Fun. This card came together after I spotted a sample on the online gallery for the Frightfully Fun Suite Collection, and I just had to make my own spin on it!

I started with a Basic Black cardstock card base, then went all in on that gorgeous Frightfully Fun Designer Series Paper — the moody gray spiderweb pattern paired with the orange starry-night print is such a good combo for this time of year.

For the spooky details, I pulled out the Web of Fun dies to cut those delicate spiderweb corners and a glittery black spider creeping across the front. Then I die cut the tag-shaped top panel from the Frightfully Fun DSP using the Oh My Fright dies — and used that same die set for the bare branch tree, the moon, the drifting clouds, and the sweet little ghost peeking out from behind the trunk. I love how much you can build from one die set!

To finish it off, I stamped my "Trick or Treat" sentiment onto Basic Gray cardstock with Basic Black Hybrid ink for a crisp, dark finish. A few tiny bats and ghosts from the Adhesive-Backed Bats, Ghosts, and Dots got tucked into the branches for extra whimsy, and using Wink of Stella the spider even got a little sparkle.

Pop the card open and the fun keeps going! I adhered a panel of Frightfully Fun DSP to the card base, then layered a Basic White panel on top for the greeting. The "Happy Halloween" sentiment and that flurry of bats swooping across the inside are both from the Oh My Fright stamp set, and a strip of Frightfully Fun DSP along the bottom ties the inside back to the front. Such a fun surprise for whoever gets to open this one!

This project was such a fun excuse to dig into the Frightfully Fun Suite, and I already have ideas brewing for round two. If you give this one a try, I'd love to see it — tag me so I don't miss it!
