Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month the Pals are “Ready for Fall”—and we’re here to share a harvest of inspiration using Stampin’ Up! products. From cozy plaids to woodland textures, you’ll find plenty of ideas to spark your creativity. At the end of this post, you’ll find the full lineup of Pals.
I had so much fun creating this simple fall card idea for this hop (keep scrolling for all the details!). Whether you’re a seasoned stamper or just dipping your toes into paper crafting, I hope my card inspires you to try something new and enjoy the season of simple joys.
branching out dies – 165775
The Branching Out Dies are a must-have for winter crafting! With pine branches, sprigs, and six nested frames, you’ll have endless ways to add layers and texture to your projects. I love how easy it is to frame a sentiment, tuck in a few pinecones, or build a cozy, woodsy vibe on a card.
card tutorial: make this simple fall card idea
- Begin with a 4 1/4 x 11 piece of Basic White Thick Cardstock. Score and fold at 5 1/2.
- Adhere a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 piece of Timeless Plaid Designer Series Paper to the card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

- Wrap with Early Espresso Linen Thread, securing with a bow. Adhere to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
