For my first mini card featuring the Secret Sea Wi For my first mini card featuring the Secret Sea Witch Hat, I combined the Harvest Hues and Harvest & Holly Mix & Match Ephemera Packs for a fun, layered design. The Neutrals Jute Combo Pack and 2026–2028 In Color Dots add those perfect finishing touches, but my favorite detail has to be the beautiful leaf texture created with the Seasonal Cheer Mini Embossing Folders! 🍃 ✨ A little shopping tip! These embossing folders are on the Last Chance list! If they’re on your wish list, now’s the time to grab them before they’re gone! #StampinUp #MiniCards #FallCardmaking #PaperCrafting #StampinUpCanada ArtisanDesignTeam
This card is giving all the pumpkin spice latte vi This card is giving all the pumpkin spice latte vibes, and I just can’t get enough of it! Using the Harvest Hues Mix & Match Ephemera Pack and Harvest and Holly Mix & Match Specialty Ephemera Pack, I brought together the sweetest coffee cups, delicate leaves, pretty flowers, and a little book to create the cosiest autumn scene. I love the combination of Petal Pink and Cajun Craze, finished with that beautiful gold sentiment! How perfect this card would be as an invitation to book club? Or for that special friend where you can pair it with a favorite novel, a handwritten recipe, or an invitation to enjoy a pumpkin spice latte together! ☕ Because handmade cards are about more than paper and pretty embellishments. They’re about sharing love, creating connections, and making someone’s day a little more special. #StampinUp #PumpkinKissesAndHarvestWishes #FallCardMaking #HandmadeCards #bookclub

🍂 I had the pleasure of designing this card for @ 🍂 I had the pleasure of designing this card for @stampinupofficial Paper Pumpkin Idea Share, featuring alternate projects with the Aspens of Gratitude kit! I absolutely love how the kit pairs with the Country Woods Designer Series Paper and the Neutral Noel collection. Mixing and matching products from different collections is so much fun, and sometimes the results are simply stunning! 🤎🍁 And guess what? I used the envelopes from the kit to create even more cards! Of course, I loved it so much that I had to order more! 😂🍂 check out @paperpumpkin for more inspiration. #PaperPumpkin #AspensOfGratitude #StampinUp #CardMaking #PaperCrafting
