Fall - Right as Rain

Art Impressions | Happy Harvest Front Porch

Hello! There’s nothing quite like a front porch dressed up for the season! Today, I’m sharing a handmade card created with supplies from Art Impressions , featuring a welcoming door and porch decorated for fall. I stamped and watercolored the image to bring out all the cozy autumn details and finished the design with a heartfelt sentiment.

- Dry-emboss the Fawn cardstock base with the Honey Bee Burlap folder. Add to an A2-size card base.
- Stamp the Front Porch Door and Harvest Set elements on to Arches Cold Pressed Watercolor paper with Archival Ink. Watercolor with media of choice. I used Tombow markers. Die-cut elements with the coordinating dies. I fussy-cut the door as the coordinating die punches out the windowpanes.
- Add elements to the prepared card base, using foam adhesive as needed.
- Stamp the sentiment on to a watercolor paper strip. I used the now-retired Elizabeth Craft Designs Autumn Words stamp set. Add sentiment strip below the porch.

I’d love to know—do you decorate your front porch for the season?

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 2025 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 now-retired September 2025 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 2025 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 2025 Large Die of the Month from Spellbinders captures that magic beautifully.

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.

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 (the Floral Foliage 1 set) 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 Taken for Granite 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 Archival 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.
