If you’re ready for cosy autumn crafting, this Fall Pumpkin Card with the Amber Autumn Stamp Set is a perfect weekend make. In my latest Friday Live video, I coloured pumpkins, gourds, and corn, then paired the focal image with Country Woods DSP, a soft Cloud Cover halo, and a pop of Timid Tiger ribbon for a warm, modern fall palette. You can watch the start-to-finish replay below and follow along with the steps in this post.

How to Make This Fall Pumpkin Card

1. Stamp the focal. Ink the pumpkins and gourds image in Tuxedo Black Memento on Basic White. Let it dry fully for best Stampin’ Blends results.

2. Colour with Stampin’ Blends. See more about Blends Markers HERE.

   • Pumpkins: Layer Peach Pie and Timid Tiger, leaving a slim highlight; soften with the Colour Lifter.

   • Gourd & leaves: Mix Darling Duckling with Granny Apple Green for those mottled, realistic shifts.

   • Corn/wheat: Dot kernels with Darling Duckling, then add stems in Crumb Cake or Pecan Pie (Light).

   • If you have fewer markers: Build depth by layering the same shade—multiple passes equal richer colour.

3. Add the halo. Trace a light Cloud Cover (Light) halo around the image to make it stand out.

4. Greeting & layers. Stamp “Thanks” in Early Espresso on a strip of Country Woods DSP and adhere next to the coloured panel.

5. Finish. Wrap Timid Tiger ribbon, tie a twine bow, and add In Color pearls for a polished look.

Tip: If your greeting is a cling (red rubber) stamp, test on scrap first and adjust alignment before stamping on woodgrain.
