Can You Believe Beautiful Fall Cards Are This Easy To Make?

Fall cards can be so simple to make when you use my SIP method—stamps, ink, & paper. I’ve also got alternate options that are beautiful too. There’s a fall card idea for all skill levels!

The cards shown here use the retired Happy Thoughts stamp set; I know many of you have this stamp set so I did not feel too bad using it. This was the stamp set I had the honor of designing, but unfortunately it retired in June. Never fear…. these fall cards are really designed so that you can use any greetings that you have. I am sure you have plenty, so grab your favorite and make these beautiful fall cards.

How Paper Cards Are My Go-To for Quick and Easy Card Making

These Paper Cards Are My Go-To for Quick and Easy Card Making

Using a piece of scrapbook paper is a great way to make paper cards in minutes. It’s a craft idea that makes a great gift too. It. all starts with a 12 X 12 piece of DSP.

Sometimes it’s so hard to cut up that pretty paper, but why keep it? Use it to make some beautiful cards to send to people to brighten their day.

For these paper cards I used designer paper that is double sided and used one side as the frame and the other as the focal point.

The highlight of these paper cards is the designer paper. Stampin’ Up! has some of the prettiest papers on the market. We are using the ‘Hand-Panned’ DSP with a fun frame card layout. What I love about this card design is you get to show both sides of the coordinating paper!
