Do you know someone special who deserves something special? To me, there’s nothing more special than the beautiful days of Autumn, which is why I had to get my hands on the Splendid Autumn Suite.
My card is a CASE of one of the featured projects in the upcoming September-December, 2024 Mini Catalog. All of the products in the Catalog will be available to customers on September 4th.
The Splendid Autumn Suite
The Autumn Expressions Stamp Set includes nine cling sentiment and image stamps.
The Autumn Expressions Dies include an elegant frame and label die. The Frame Die can be converted to a small purse using the coordinating dies. There are also filler dies, and dies that coordinate with three of the stamp images.
The Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper is, in one word, stunning! There are 48 sheets, 4 each of 12 designs. The paper features watercolored paintings of floral and Autumn leaves landscapes. The reverse side of the double-sided paper pack features solid watercolored sheets in coordinating colors.
The Woven Golden Leaves are delicate, translucent leaves that can be added to an element cluster. The leaves can also be shaded using Blends or a Stampin’ Write Marker to change the color.
The Wild Wheat 3/8″ Rustic Striped Ribbon is sheer and soft.
The Faux Glass Dots finish off the Product Suite with 200 dots in three sizes.
Here’s a look at the details of today’s card.
Parts & Pieces
The 4 1/4″ x 11″ Wild Wheat cardstock card base is scored at 5 1/2″.
The patterned paper card front layer is 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″.
The Daffodil Delight striped patterned paper layer (Brghts 6″ x 6″ DSP), is 2 3/4″ x 3 1/4″. I rounded the corners of this layer.
The frame is die cut using Early Espresso cardstock.
The insert in the frame is die cut from one of the patterned paper designs.
I stamped the sentiment using Wild Wheat ink and fussy cut it.
The wheat element is stamped with Wild Wheat ink and die cut using the coordinating die.
The leaves are die cut using Old Olive and Gold cardstock.
I attached the ribbon to the back of the frame, and added the fussy cut sentiment, and die cut elements as shown.
I attached a few Wild Wheat Dots to embellish.
Splendid Autumn Color Palette
The deep-toned color palette is warm and cozy. You will love creating with these beautiful colors, either as accents to your project or your focal point.
I definitely have a weakness for anything “Autumn”. After cutting this amazing Designer Series Paper, and getting familiar with the Autumn Expressions Bundle, I’m looking forward to creating lots of project inspiration using these products. Be sure to check back.
So, think about adding the Splendid Autumn Suite to your Wish List for all of your Autumn projects.
… the only limitation is your imagination!

I thought I would take a look at the current January – April Mini Catalog to get inspiraion for today’s card. Inspiration came as soon as I saw the card on page 40 of the Mini Catalog.
I changed the base color of the card, but the color combination is what inspired me. Calypso Coral paired with Pebbled Path and Granny Apple Green, along with lots of white space, is striking. I liked it and hope you do, as well.
There are two predominant neutral colors in this card. Adding two bright colors to the neutrals, especially in the card focal point, will always work well.
Take a look at these color combinations, and imagine them on this card design.
So, my alternate color combination for this design is Sweet Sorbet, Pebbled Path, and Pretty Peacock. What’s yours? I think any one of these combinations would be a fun alternative to today’s card.
So, fina some great inspiration, switch up the colors, and create your unique design.

In my daily travels, I’ve been noticing how beautiful the trees look displaying the colors of Autumn. Here in New Jersey, we’ve been enjoying the Fall colors at their peak. My inspiration for today’s card are the colorful leaves I see everywhere. I’m showcasing the Autumn Leaves Bundle and the Tartan Foil 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper.
If you look closely at the top Copper Clay layer, you can see the pretty tartan tone on tone pattern. The paper pack includes 6 sheets of double sided paper, two each of three designs. The colors featured in this Specialty Paper are Copper Clay, Pebbled Path, and Lost Lagoon. It’s part of the Online Exclusives. The details are below.
So, let’s make a card!
Parts & Pieces
The Copper Clay cardstock card base is 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″ on the 8 1/2″ side.
The Basic White cardstock mat layer is 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″.
The Copper Clay patterned paper top layer is 4″ x 5 1/4″.
I cut a Pretty Peacock cardstock strip 3/4″ x 5 1/4″. This is a “grounding layer” for the leaf elements.
The leaves are stamped with Wild Wheat, Copper Clay, and Pretty Peacock ink.
I die cut a few leaves using Pretty Peacock and Wild Wheat cardstock.
The layers are adhered with glue, and the leaves are attached with Dimensionals.
I thought it best not to embellish too much since I wanted to display the patterned paper.
The inside Basic White writing layer is 3 3/4″ x 5″.
This card was lots of fun to put together and I enjoyed putting these colors together. A nice Autumn combination!
So, cut a few cardstock layers, stamp and die cut some leaves, add a simple bow, and create something heartfelt to celebrate the Fall Season.
