A Little Fall Magic with Seasonal Mix & Match 🍂
Hello my crafty friends, Bonjour!
For this month’s Artisan Design Team hop, I was tasked with creating fall-inspired projects, and I couldn’t be happier! Fall is one of my favourite seasons. Give me a pumpkin spice latte, a cosy sweater, and beautiful autumn leaves, and I’m in my happy place!
For my projects, I reached for the Seasonal Mix & Match products from the September–December 2026 Stampin’ Up! Catalogue. I created a fall-inspired card and coordinating mini cards, incorporating layers, delicate details, and beautiful seasonal elements. You can view them all here in my online store.
It’s All in the Details
One of my favourite parts of this collection is how easy it is to bring a project to life by layering the different elements. The Mix & Match products were perfect for building dimension on my wreath and adding tiny flowers for those extra-special finishing touches.
Sometimes, it’s the smallest details that make the biggest difference! Each little element works together to create a design that feels complete, and I love how all the layers come together.
A Collection to Fall in Love With
I’m genuinely in love with this collection! From the quality of the products to the beautiful colors and all the little details, there is so much to inspire your creativity.
I especially love how these products make it easy to create coordinating projects while still giving each design its own personality. Whether you’re creating a special greeting card or a set of mini cards to share with friends, there are so many possibilities.
And while I’m enjoying every bit of this fall-inspired collection, I’m already looking ahead to the holiday season! I can’t wait to start creating with the holiday Mix & Match products and see what other beautiful projects I can dream up.

My featured color combination:
Mini Card #1: Secret Sea Witch Hat
For my first mini card, featuring the Secret Sea Witch Hat, I combined elements from the Harvest Hues Mix & Match Ephemera Pack and the Harvest and Holly Mix & Match Specialty Ephemera Pack.
To add a little extra texture and dimension, I incorporated the Neutrals Jute Combo Pack and a few 2026–2028 In Color Dots for those little pops of embellishment. Sometimes, it’s those finishing touches that make a project feel complete!
But I think my favourite detail has to be the background! I used the Seasonal Cheer Mini Embossing Folders, featuring the beautiful leaf pattern. The embossed texture adds so much interest to the card without taking away from the layered elements.
Here’s a little shopping tip! The Seasonal Cheer Mini Embossing Folders are currently on the Last Chance list and on sale, so if they’ve been on your wish list, now is the perfect time to snap up this little collection before it’s gone! 🍁
Mini Card #2: Leaves and Mushroom Wreath 🍄🍂
For my second mini card, I chose Cajun Craze as my card base to create a beautiful, earthy foundation for this fall-inspired design.
I combined elements from the Harvest Hues Mix & Match Ephemera Pack and the Harvest and Holly Mix & Match Specialty Ephemera Pack to bring together the mushrooms and leaves. I absolutely love this combination! Mushrooms and foliage are such a lovely pairing for autumn projects, creating that cosy woodland feel that’s perfect for the season.
To finish off the design, I added Linen Thread, tied into a sweet double bow. It’s such a simple embellishment, but it adds just the right amount of texture and gives the card a beautifully finished look.
I love how these Mix & Match products make it so easy to layer different elements and create a coordinated design without having to start from scratch. With a few carefully chosen pieces and some thoughtful embellishments, you can create a mini card that’s full of personality and seasonal charm!
🍂 My fall crafting tip: Don’t underestimate the little details! A bit of texture, a touch of dimension, and a simple bow can make all the difference.
Mini Card #3: Golden Autumn Days
For my third mini card, I chose Old Olive for the card base, creating a beautiful backdrop for all the autumn-inspired elements.
One of my favourite details is the plaid banner paired with the gorgeous gold sentiment, “I Love These Golden Autumn Days.” Isn’t that sentiment just perfect for fall? I love how it captures the beauty of the season and makes this little card ideal for tucking in with a handwritten note for someone special.
To decorate my card, I layered my favourite elements from the Harvest Hues Mix & Match Ephemera Pack and the Harvest and Holly Mix & Match Specialty Ephemera Pack. I combined leaves, books, and acorns to create a cosy autumn scene filled with seasonal charm.
And, of course, I couldn’t resist adding another Linen Thread double bow! I love the natural texture it brings to the design and how it adds that final finishing touch.
These mini cards are such a wonderful way to use your favourite ephemera pieces. With a few layers, a beautiful sentiment, and some simple embellishments, you can create a thoughtful little card that’s ready to brighten someone’s day.
Sometimes, the smallest cards carry the sweetest messages!
Pumpkin Spice Latte Vibe Card:
My Favorite: Pumpkin Kisses and Harvest Wishes ☕🍂
And now for my ultimate favorite of the collection: Pumpkin Kisses and Harvest Wishes! ☕ This card has all the pumpkin spice latte vibes, and honestly, it’s just beyond adorable!
For this design, I once again reached for the Harvest Hues Mix & Match Ephemera Pack and the Harvest and Holly Mix & Match Specialty Ephemera Pack. Since all my creations for this month’s Artisan Design Team hop are fall-inspired, these two ephemera packs were absolutely perfect for bringing my ideas to life.
I love how all the little elements work together! The adorable coffee drinks, delicate leaves, pretty flowers, and sweet little book create the cosiest autumn scene. And that beautiful gold sentiment, “Pumpkin Kisses and Harvest Wishes,” is simply the perfect finishing touch!
For my colour combination, I paired Petal Pink and Cajun Craze, creating a lovely balance of soft pink tones and rich, warm autumn colours. The result is a card that feels playful, cosy, and full of fall charm.
A Little Card with So Many Possibilities
Can you imagine how lovely this card would be as a handmade gift for someone in your book club? Pair it with a favourite novel, a new cookbook, or even a cherished family recipe book, and you have a thoughtful gift that feels extra special.
You could even tuck in a handwritten note sharing your favourite fall recipe or invite someone over for a pumpkin spice latte and a little crafting time!
I love creating handmade cards that can be shared in so many different ways. It’s not just about the paper and embellishments; it’s about the little moments, thoughtful gestures, and connections we create when we give something handmade.
And really, what could be better than sharing a little pumpkin spice and autumn happiness with someone special? ☕🍂
