It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop. This week’s theme is “Favorite New Sept-December Catalog/Online Exclusive Designer Paper”! Stampin’ Up! really has awesome designer paper, so I’m sure this will be hard to pick just one!
AUTUMN OPULENCE
I finally settled on Autumn Opulence for my favorite…right now anyway! It is hidden in the new Online Exclusives! I love that it two sheets of die-cut pieces…makes it easy to create a card or scrapbook page when you are in a hurry! This card came together very easy! The background print is one of my favorites in this package!

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is4-1/4 x 11 Cajun Craze cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 3-1/2 x 4-3/4 layer of Autumn Opulence DSP was added to a 3-3/4 x 5 piece of Early Espresso cardstock, then adhered to the front of the base card.
- I used one of the die-cut labels in the DSP and stamped the Give Thanks greeting from Thanks & Giving Stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink in the upper right corner. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- TIP: Because the die-cuts are preprinted on white, I used a Blending Brush and Basic Beige Ink to change the white to beige on the label and around the edges of the die-cut pieces, so they blend better with the Very Vanilla DSP background.
- A 1/4 x 4 strip of Early Espresso cardstock was placed across the bottom.
- I used two of the rust die-cut leaves and the pumpkin/gourd trio die-cut and added them to the edge of the label with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A trio of Gold Adhesive Backed Dots were added to the background of the label.

Isn’t that a great fall card? OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Stamping Friends website, then on to creative Debbie Henderson, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!

I love this DSP, too! It’s just odd that SU printed the die-cuts on white when vanilla is the neutral in the other sheets. Thanks for the tip to blend Basic Beige on the white!
Thanks, Alicia! I thought so, too!
