🍂 Cozy Autumn Fun-Fold Card Featuring the Autumn Toile Suite Collection - A Stamping with Friends Blogpost

Welcome, friends! 🌸 Today I’m joining the fun, Stamping With Friends Cardmaking Blog Hop with a group of talented Stampin’ Up!® demonstrators who love to share creativity and inspiration. Each stop along the hop is filled with unique ideas, tips, and projects to spark your imagination.

If you’re following along the hop, you’ve just arrived from Annette Elias', and I’m so glad you’re here! If you’re starting with me, be sure to hop all the way through so you don’t miss a single project—there’s inspiration waiting for you at every stop. So don't forget to leave a comment for each of the hoppers.

Grab your favorite beverage, settle in, and let’s dive into some crafty fun! Our theme this month is to create a Holiday/season-themed card.

There’s something magical about crafting in the fall—the warm colors, the cozy textures, and the irresistible urge to make all the cards. Today I’m sharing a delightful fun-fold project featuring the Autumn Toile Suite Collection from Stampin’ Up! This suite practically begs to be used for seasonal crafting, with its elegant foliage, rich tones, and timeless patterns.

This project is a simple but striking diamond-flap fun fold that looks

impressive on display but comes together beautifully. It’s perfect for a fall birthday, a gratitude card, or even a “just because” note to brighten someone’s day.

And yes—there’s a video tutorial to walk you through every step!

🍁 About the Card

This fun fold features two flaps that open from opposite sides—almost like opening the pages of a storybook. When the flaps are closed, they create a beautiful diamond focal point.  I saw this card on Sue Philip's reel (Sue's Paper Creations) and just had to give it a go! So what do you think? Will you try it? Please do.

This is a virtual class, and your class kit is free with a minimum purchase of $35 in my online store. Spend $50 or more, and you’ll receive the full class kit plus a pack of the 2024–2026 In Color Flat Pearls as a sweet bonus! (Note: I reserve the right to substitute based on availability)

Creative Inspiration with a Color Combination

Here's this month's color combination:

And here's the project it inspired:

The new Brushed with Beauty Suite Collection includes patterned paper featuring florals in muted tones, along with stamp and die bundles that feature both floral and foliage elements, and sentiments that can be the focal point of your designs.

 
The three 'because' dies from the Words of Beauty Dies were used to cut the three layers of the focal point sentiment, which were adhered together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (Adhesive Sheets could also be used). Vellum 12" x 12" Specialty Paper was used for the base layer, Crumb Cake Cardstock was used for the middle, and Petal Pink Cardstock die used for the top. The completed layered element was added to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals™.

The middle-sized label die from the Words of Beauty Dies was used to cut a label from Very Vanilla Cardstock. The 'You've Been on My Mind' stamp, from the coordinating Words of Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set, was stamped on the label using Mossy Meadow Classic Stampin' Ink™. Very Vanilla Baker's Twine, from the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack, was wrapped around the card front three times, and tied to the right side of the dotted DSP layer. The stamped label was added with Stampin' Dimensionals, over the knot securing the twine.

Shop my top product picks for this project:

A rectangle of the Very Vanilla floral pattern from the Brushed with Beauty 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper measuring 4¼" x 5½" was adhered to a folded Crumb Cake card base (with the fold at the top). The long sides of a smaller rectangle of the dotted patterned paper from the same DSP (measuring 4¼" x 2½"; approx. ½" taller than the final layer) were torn to expose the white core of the paper along those edges. This layer was then adhered to the center of the card front.
