Welcome to the blog! Today I am so excited to share a lovely seasonal gift project featuring the Autumn Opulence Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Thanks & Giving Stamp Set.
This pretty notepad folio makes such a thoughtful, handmade gift. The base is crafted from Petal Pink Cardstock and decorated with gorgeous patterns from the Autumn Opulence Specialty Designer Series Paper. Inside, it features a handy notepad and pocket, and the whole folder ties closed with a soft White 3/8″ Textured Ribbon. For the front, I layered floral ephemera with a stamped sentiment that reads “YOU ARE APPRECIATED.”
Check out the video tutorial below to see how this project comes together step-by-step:
Below, you can browse through a photo gallery of additional card examples created using these exact same products for even more fall inspiration!




As always, remember to be kind, send a card, and do something creative.
With love and polka dots,
Sally
