Good Things Pumpkin Fun Fold Card

I really love how this card turned out. The pumpkins you can create with the masks in the Painted Pumpkins Bundle are so pretty and dimensional, and I really like the look of the garden gate. I'll have to play with that some more. There are more pieces to it too, but I couldn't fit them all on this card.

Pumpkins and Good Things

I used the light side of Petal Pink Two-Tone Cardstock with the Rustic Check 3D Embossing Folder on this super simple fun fold card. I die cut the pumpkins from the Painted Patch DSP, but you can also just fussy cut them. They aren't too detailed for a quick fussy cut. I added lots of patterned paper on the inside because it just makes it more of a wow card with little effort. And, because I love patterned paper.




Supplies

Cardstock:
Golden Glow: 8-1/2" X 5-1/2", scored at 1-1/2" and 5-3/4"
Basic White: 4" X 5-1/4" (inside), square die cut on front is 3-1/4" X 3-1/4"
Petal Pink Two-Tone: 2-1/2" X 5-1/4" (embossed)
DSP: 
Painted Patch: 2 pcs 1-1/4" X 5-1/4", 1" X 4", 2-1/2" X 5-1/4", cut pumpkins
Stamp Set & Dies: 
Ink:
Pool Party (blending in background)
Pecan Pie (blending in background)

Luxe Birthday

I used a Creative Collab Crew sketch that I found on Pinterest for this card. It looks like someone took a screenshot of an Instagram post by @emkcreationsil and pinned it. That's all I know, but this is a great sketch. I have definitely made cards with this design before, but it's very handy to have measurements so you don't have to figure it out again later. 

Don't forget, this lovely foiled DSP is the September 2026 Product of the Month for Stampin' Up! and once it sells out, it is gone forever. You get 12 sheets (4 each of 3 colors/designs) for just $5 with a qualifying $75 USD purchase right now!




Cardstock:
Very Vanilla: 8-1/2" X 5-1/2", scored at 4-1/4" and folded in half on the long side, my die cut is 3-1/2" X 2", optional panel on the inside is 4-1/2" X 5-3/8"
If you didn't want to buy 12 sheets of this color, you could get the Exploring Nature Two-Tone Cardstock Variety Pack instead.
DSP:
Luxe Foliage: See sketch measurements, also die cut some of the florals from the Secret Sea pattern for the inside
Stamp Set & Dies:

Thankful Leaves

This ended up being my favorite of the five I made this week. I really like this darker pattern from the Autumn Opulence DSP with the mushrooms on it and the retired cork paper just really compliments it so well.I used the Faux Suede Technique to distress the Blackberry Bliss strip and I really like the look of that as well.



I started the cards I'm going to be sharing this week by smooshing a watercolor background on a 4-1/4" X 5-1/2" piece of vanilla cardstock. I took my Golden Glow, Pretty Peacock and Blackberry ink pads and tapped them onto the huge "F" acrylic block. Then I sprayed the block with water and tipped the block to let the colors mix a little. Not a lot. I didn't want the colors to become mud. Then, I took a piece of 4-1/4" X 5-1/2" Very Vanilla Cardstock and layed it over the ink and let it soak it up. I am impatient, so I used a heat tool to dry it. 

After the watercolor cardstock was dry, I used the Lustrous Leaves Hot Foil Dies, Copper Stampin' Foil and the Stampin' Hot Foil System to make copper watercolor leaves. I was then left with a piece of copper foil that had leaf images in it, so I applied that to a piece of vanilla cardstock with the Reverse Foil Die so that I could have both the positive and the negative copper leaf images and not waste the beautiful foil. 

Cardstock:
Pecan Pie: 8-1/2" X 5-1/2", scored at 4-1/4" and folded in half on the long side
Basic Beige: 4" X 5-1/4" for inside + whatever you need to stamp and die cut your sentiment
Blackberry Bliss: 3/8" X 5-1/4"
DSP:
Autumn Opulence: 2-1/4" X 5-1/4"
Cork Natural Touch Specialty Paper (retired): 1-3/4" X 5-1/4"

Grateful Heart

I just love this card. I do think Pretty Peacock is a perfect fall color, so I'm not surprised. It just pairs so nicely with almost any other autumn color I can think of.
