The card  I am sharing today was created using Stampin’ Up! Amber Autumn Stamp Set and Dies, plus Autumn Toile Designer Series Paper. It is a Z-fold card.  I consider it a CASe of one Amy Koenders created.  Hers was not a fun fold, but her card gave me the idea for this Z-fold fun fold.

Emboss the Basic Beige 2-7/8″ x 2-7/8″ piece using Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.  Stamp the pumpkin and leaves with acorn images from Stampin’ Up! Amber Autumn Stamp Set in Crumb Cake ink.  Color the images using Darling Duckling, Daffodile Delight, Lost Lagoon, and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends.  Die-cut the images using dies from Amber Autumn Dies.  Adhere the 2-7/8″ x 2-7/8″ embossed piece to the 3″ x 3″ Early Espresso piece using Multipurpose Liquid Glue or your preferred adhesive.  Arrange the pumpkin and leaves the way you prefer on the Basic Beige embossed piece, then adhere using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Lay aside until the remainder of the cards is assembled.

Adhere the 1-7/8″ x 2-3/8″ Autumn Toile Designer Series Paper to the  2″ x 2-5/8″ Early Espresso cardstock pieces using Multipurpose Liquid Glue or the adhesive of choice.  Adhere these pieces to the Crumb Cake card base as you see in the photo above. 

Adhere the 1-7/8″ x  5-1/4″ Basic Beige cardstock and the 1-7/8″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Autumn Toile Designer Series Paper to the 1-7/8″ x 5-3/8″ piece of Early Espresso cardstock.  Stamp the sentiment in Early Espresso ink on a piece of Basic Beige cardstock.  Trim and cut about as the photo above shows.  Fussy cut pumpkins from a piece of Autumn Toile Designer Series Paper and adhere to the bottom of the Basic Beige panel.

Adhere all the pieces to the Crumb Cake card base.  Stamp in Early Espresso ink a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Amber Autumn Stamp Set on a piece of Basic Beige cardstock.  Fussy cut the greeting, adhering with Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the upper right panel of the card base.

Adhere the art piece to the left side of the Z-fold, and put glue on the left side of the art piece only.

Fussy cut a piece of Amber Autumn Designer Series Paper to fit the flap of a Very Vanilla envelope.  Adhere using Multipurpose Glue.

One of the perks of being a demonstrator is to pre-order before a new catalog launches, and the Online Exclusives we get to order before they are released to customers.  You will also be getting at least a 20% discount on purchases. If you love card-making as a hobby, you can still be a demonstrator and get that discount to help get more card-making items,  or you can be like I was and buy Stampin’ Up! products for 10 years before I became wise enough to become a demonstrator to get the discount.  When I think of all the stamping products that 20% would have brought over those 10 years, I cringe.

  Being a part of the Stampin’ Up! Community is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.  Are you new to papercrafting and cardmaking and don’t know where to start, but would like to join to save?  As I said earlier in this post, I’m here to assist you in any way I can.  Ask me!
