SSBH - Nature's Palette - INK STAMPS PAPER

Welcome to this month's Stampin Sunday Blog Hop.

Our theme is Nature’s Palette, which couldn’t be more perfect for this time of year. Here in Wales, the trees are alive with stunning autumn colours—deep reds, golden yellows, and rustic oranges. It’s impossible not to feel inspired to bring these seasonal shades into our handmade cards.

Creating My Own Patterned Paper

One of my favourite techniques in cardmaking is creating my own patterned paper using Stampin’ Up! stamps. For this project, I stamped and layered different images to mimic the richness of autumn foliage.

I used the following Stampin’ Up! stamp sets:

• Gathering Moments

• Branching Out

• Christmas Greenery

• Impressions Abloom

• Gallery Blooms

Stampin’ Up! Ink Colours

The vibrant colour palette was built from these Stampin’ Up! Ink Pads:

• Cherry Cobbler

• Real Red

• Pumpkin Pie

• Timid Tiger

• Crushed Curry

• Darling Duckling

All of these were stamped onto Darling Duckling cardstock, giving a warm and earthy base.

The Finished Autumn Card

Once my background paper was complete, I designed the finished card by keeping the colour scheme simple and cohesive. I paired Darling Duckling with Timid Tiger cardstock, then added a few delicate die cuts for texture and interest. The result is a card that perfectly captures the beauty of autumn.

Try This Technique Yourself!

If you love autumn card ideas or enjoy experimenting with Stampin’ Up! products, I encourage you to try creating your own paper with seasonal colours. It’s a fun way to make your projects truly unique.
