Fall - Right as Rain

Spellbinders | A Little Fall Charm

Hello! Autumn brings with it a sense of warmth and coziness, and I wanted to capture that feeling on my latest card. Using the September Stamp and Die Club offering at Spellbinders, I created a design filled with fall icons including acorns, pumpkins, pinecones, and squash. The sentiment, “a little fall charm, just for you,” makes it perfect for sharing the beauty of the season with someone special.

- Create an A2-size card base with Fawn cardstock.
- Using the September Clear Stamp set, stamp the sentiment and images with Potting Soil ink. Stencil the stamped images with Distress Inks using the Autumn Whim stencil (the September Deluxe Caboodle offering). Cut with the coordinating dies.
- Add sentiment and images to the prepared card base with foam squares.

Spellbinders | Whimsical Fall-themed Card

Hello! Fall is the perfect season for cozy, storybook-inspired designs, and the September Large Die of the Month from Spellbinders captures that magic beautifully. I created a card featuring a squirrel holding an acorn outside his tiny acorn-shaped house. Surrounded by colorful fall foliage, the scene feels straight out of a woodland fairy tale. The sweet sentiment, “May your fall be full of quiet wonder,” ties it all together for a card that celebrates the gentle joys of autumn.

- Dry-emboss Teal Topaz cardstock with the Tiny Dots folder and add to an A2-size card base.
- Stamp and cut the sentiment with the Clear Stamp Set and Coordinating Die set.
- Cut the house, foliage, and squirrel with the Large Die of the Month dies from Bristol paper and color with Distress Oxide inks. Assemble.
- Add items to card base with glue and foam adhesive.

Hero Arts | Cozy Critter

Hello! There’s nothing better than snuggling under the covers when the days turn crisp, and this handmade card captures that cozy feeling perfectly. I used the Hero Arts September 2025 Die Set of the Month Cozy Critters to create a whimsical design that feels straight out of a fairy tale.

- Cover an A2-size card base with patterned paper.
- Cut bed, pillow, quilt, and fox from a variety of cardstock colors using dies in the Hero Arts Studio Cozy Critters set. Assemble.
- Stamp the sentiment on white cardstock and cut with a banner die.
- Assemble card elements and add to the card base.

Whether you’re crafting for friends, family, or just enjoying some creative time, this set is sure to bring smiles and a touch of storybook charm to your fall projects.

Elizabeth Craft Designs | Handcolored Mums

Hello! Today I’m sharing a handmade card, created with Elizabeth Craft Designs die sets, that features mums arranged in a rustic oak barrel.

I handcolored the blooms to match the mums currently in our garden, and I encourage you to take inspiration from nature when choosing your own colors.

- Cover a 5″ x 7″ card base with a patterned paper panel. I used paper from 49 and Market.
- Cut the Florals 32 (flower petals and leaves) and barrel pieces from Soft Finish cardstock. Color with Distress Inks. Shape petals and leaves with tools if desired. I use tools from Dress My Craft, Heartfelt Creations, Spellbinders, and McGill. Assemble.
- The Florals 32 die set doesn’t specifically make a mum; rather, it’s a versatile floral design that can be colored and shaped to resemble many fall favorites like zinnias, asters, or dahlias. I chose to make mums because of the ones blooming in our garden, but the set easily adapts to other seasonal flowers depending on your inspiration.
- Glue prills to the centers of the flowers.
- To keep the flowers in the spotlight, I added a small “hello” tag tucked into the bouquet. Stamp sentiment (I used a retired stamp from Stampin’ Up) in Potting Soil ink and cut with a tag die.
- Add the assembled items to the prepared card base.

Fall is the perfect season to look closely at nature’s colors and let them guide your crafting.

Cozy Fall Card with Big Mouse

Hello! Fall is one of my favorite seasons to craft for, and today I’m sharing a cozy handmade card that captures the warmth of autumn. I used the Big Mouse die along with the coordinating Fall Accessories set, both from Elizabeth Craft Designs, to dress the mouse for the season. To finish it off, I created a playful custom sentiment that reads “Fall Y’all,” cut with a letter die set. This card is full of charm and a fun way to celebrate the beauty of fall.

- Dry-emboss cardstock with the Honey Bee Burlap folder. Add to card base. Cut a strip of the Scary Stories patterned paper and add to base.
- Cut Big Mouse and Fall Accessories from a variety of cardstock colors and assemble. The large pumpkin is from the ECD Hay Ride die set (now discontinued).
- Add sentiment with die-cut letters (I used a set from Taylored Expressions).
