Gilded Autumn - Have a Beautiful Day - Fall Card
Have I mentioned I am in LOVE with the new Gilded Autumn suite? Most specifically the specialty designer series paper? Today's card is another made with many of the suite products. Just so many options!

My Stampin' Up! Color Fusion for today is Cajun Craze, Mint Macaron and Early Espresso.

I used the following cuts of cardstock:
Cajun Craze: 8½" x 5½", scored at 4¼"
Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper: 4" x 5¼"
Very Vanilla: ¼" x 3½"
Early Espresso: 4" x ¾"
I also used the following stamps and/or dies:
Beautiful Autumn stamp set: "Have a beautiful day" sentiment
Beautiful Autumn stamp set: Acorn outline stamp
Beautiful Autumn stamp set: Solid Acorn "hat" stamp
Beautiful Autumn stamp set: Maple leaf outline stamp
Beautiful Autumn stamp set: Solid Maple leaf stamp
Beautiful Autumn stamp set: leaves stamp
Beautiful Autumn stamp set: wheat stamp
Autumn punch pack: Acorn and Maple punches
Banner pick a punch
Directions:
Trim a piece of Cajun Craze cardstock to 8½" x 5½" and score at 4¼"
User your bone folder to get a nice crisp fold in your card base
Trim a piece of the multi-color (Cajun Craze, Mint Macaron, Early Espresso and Crumb Cake - see image for further details) Gilded Autumn specialty designer series paper to 4" x 5¼"
Trim a piece of Very Vanilla to ¼" x 3½" (remember to check your scraps!)
Trim a piece of Early Espresso to 4" x ¾" (remember to check your scraps!)
Stamp the “have a beautiful day” sentiment stamp in Early Espresso ink on your strip of Very Vanilla cardstock
Stamp the acorn outline stamp in Cajun Craze ink on Very Vanilla cardstock twice (so you have 2 images)
Stamp the maple leaf outline stamp in Cajun Craze ink twice (so you have 2 images)
Stamp the solid acorn stamp and acorn ”hat” in Cajun Craze ink on Very Vanilla cardstock, stamping off once first to get a lighter shade (stamping on top of the outline stamps from step 7)

Stamp the long leaves stamp in Crumb Cake ink on Very Vanilla cardstock

Apply Stampin’ Seal to the back of your designer series paper and adhere down lining up your left and bottom edges to the bottom and left side of your card base
