Today I’m sharing 3 beautiful fall themed cards using products that were designed for memory keeping. I chose to use two products from the new Scrapbooking Brochure to show you just how versatile they are: the Autumn to Remember stamp set and Sweet Days of Autumn DSP.
There’s an entire Autumn to Remember collection of products in the scrapbooking brochure including a workshop kit. This is the kit that I plan on using for our first kill a kit club in October. You can find more info on that club here. And if you missed the layout I shared using this collection, you can find it here.
Let’s take a look at the cards…
I chose to go with crumb cake as my neutral for the three cards and I’m so happy I did. The end result is stunning.
For the first card I simply stamped the leaf images across the centre of a piece of crumb cake card stock in various colours. The texture that is on these stamps is perfection. I also added a bit of splatter using my black stampin’ blend marker and distressed around the edges with my snips.
Measurements:
- Crumb Cake: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″ ; 3-3/4″ x 5″
- Sweet Days of Autumn DSP: 3-3/4″ x 5″ and 1/4″ x 5-1/4″ (inside)
- Basic White: 4″ x 5-1/4″ (inside)
- Early Espresso: 1/2″ x 3″
- Linen Thread: 8″
- Faux Glass Dots: x3
Card 2
The second card has a bit of a faux window. I used the largest stylish shape circle to cut a window out of the card front, backed it with a piece of cajun card stock cut with a circle one size smaller and then popped up some dsp behind that.
To create a focal point I stamped some leaves onto white card stock and fussy cut them.
Measurements:
- Crumb Cake: 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″
- Cajun Craze: 4″ x 4″
- Sweet Days of Autumn DSP: 4″ x 5-1/4″ and 3/4″ x 4″ (inside)
- Basic White: 4″ x 5-1/4″ (inside) and 3″ x 4″ for stamping

- Linen Thread: 8″
- Faux Glass Dots: x3
Card 3
I repeated the stamping on crumb cake for the third card but did it a little closer to the left side. Then added a strip of pattern paper, twine and a little cluster.
Measurements:
- Crumb Cake 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″ ; 3-3/4″ x 5″
- Basic White: 3-3/4″ x 5″ (inside); 3″ x 4″ for stamping

I think these are going to make great cards for recognizing some of my team members for their accomplishments in September! And if I need to make a few more, they are easy enough to replicate.
Until next time,
