This Autumn Opulence thank you card lets pretty paper do most of the work—and I’m happy to let it! Pumpkins, flowers, and warm autumn colors come together with simple layers, a little jute bow, and a popped-up greeting.

A few simple layers, a little jute bow, and a popped-up greeting bring it all together. It’s a lovely way to send a little gratitude this season without making cardmaking complicated.

Let the Patterned Paper Be the Star

I used three patterns from the same Autumn Opulence paper pack for this card. The subtle background frames the pumpkin-and-floral design, while a coordinating strip adds a little extra interest across the front.

Early Espresso and Cajun Craze cardstock help each layer stand out. Using coordinating papers from one pack makes choosing patterns easier—no need to pull out half your craft room!

A Simple Greeting with a Little Lift

I stamped “Thank You” in Cajun Craze ink on a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock, then chose a Stylish Shapes circle die that fit around the greeting.

That’s an easy little tip: stamp first, then choose your die. You can see exactly how much room your greeting needs before cutting.

Stampin’ Dimensionals give the greeting a little lift. A bow from the Neutrals Jute Combo Pack and a few Natural Matte Dots finish the card with a cozy fall touch.
