I just love the Autumn look of this card! Fall is my favorite season, and living in Michigan, that means all the typical delights of the season – pumpkins, apple cider, beautiful fall flowers, cooler temperatures, changing colors of the leaves, and the anticipation of the holidays approaching. For this card, I combined the gorgeous sunflowers with a pumpkin which really pop against the two different designer papers.

Assembly:
Use Memento ink to stamp the greeting from the Country Home stamp set onto the cinnamon cider pattern DSP, then adhere to the upper part of one 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Bumblebee cardstock.
Adhere the Bumblebee flower pattern DSP below the cinnamon cider DSP.
Adhere a piece of Cinnamon Cider ribbon around this piece at the seam. I found the easiest way to do this was just to tape it to the back side, but you could use multipurpose glue or seal.
Use Memento ink to stamp the sunflower image from the Jar Of Flowers stamp set onto a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock. Color with Stampin’ Blends markers using the following colors – Mango Melody, Cinnamon Cider, Shaded Spruce, Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler. Fussy cut the sunflower image.
Use Pumpkin Pie ink to stamp the pumpkin from the Harvest Hello stamp set onto a scrap of Pumpkin Pie cardstock, then use the Apple Builder Punch to punch it out.
Use Old Olive ink to stamp three pumpkin leaves from the Harvest Hello stamp set onto a scrap of Old Olive cardstock Fussy cut the leaves. Crop a vine tendril out of a scrap of Old Olive cardstock using the die from the World Map die set.
Use dimensionals to attach the pumpkin and flowers to the card front – see photo for placement. Adhere the leaves and tendril to the pumpkin using multipurpose glue. Place a few gilded gems onto the card front – see photo for placement.
Inside:
Attach the DSP strip to the Bumblebee strip, then adhere to the piece of Very Vanilla cardstock. Use Memento ink to stamp the sentiment from the Country Home stamp set below the decorative strip. Adhere the completed piece to the inside of the card.
Envelope:
Use Memento ink to stamp a portion of the flower image to the lower left corner of the envelope. Use Stampin’ Blends markers to color the image to match the flowers on the card front.
