Today I’ve got a fun fall themed stamped one sheet wonder to share with you. This is a great idea if you are short on time and want to create a bunch of cards for fall birthdays, thank yous, thinking of you and sympathy. The card designs can be used for any occasion. I LOVE cards like this!
You can use any supplies you have on hand to create these. Switch out the theme, colours and designs to work for you.
Here’s a list of supplies you’ll need to create these cards:
- Early Espresso: two 8-1/2″ x 11″ pieces cut into 4 card bases (5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″)
- Basic Beige: this is my neutral, one full sheet of 8-1/2″ x 11″ (leave whole – we’ll be stamping on it before cutting it down); another 8-1/2″ x 11″ cut down to 4″ x 5-1/4″ (x4) – these will be for the inside; 2-3/4″ x 8-1/2″ for stamping accents; and 4 label shapes ( I used the modern label punch).
- Twine and embellishments to match: I used the Early Espresso linen thread and streaked dots (to be released September 3rd, 2025)
- Stamps & Ink to coordinate: I used the Gathering Moments bundle from the September online exclusive release
I’ve filmed a video to show you how to make these cards, you can find it below.
The Details…
The first step is to divide your 8-1/2″ x 11″ piece of card stock into quadrants. To do this use a pencil and ruler and draw a line down the centre in both directions. Then you’ll stamp your images along those lines, making sure to overlap the lines and fill in as much space as you can. It’s like collage stamping!
You can see how the 8-1/2″ x 11″ piece would have looked prior to cutting down in the photo below.
After stamping, you’ll trim your 8-1/2″ x 11″ down to four 4″ x 5-1/4″ pieces. To give them a more rustic feel, I then inked around the edges with some pecan pie ink and distressed them with my snips. The layers then get added to your card fronts.
After that it’s just a matter of adding a sentiment and embellishing. You could keep it super simple and just stamp your sentiment right on that stamped panel. I wanted to add a bit of dimension to my cards though so chose to stamp my greetings and punch them out and add a couple die cut images, some twine and streaked dots.
This is such a fun idea – I can’t wait to do this again with a Christmas set!
