Cozy Creations with the Autumn Archives Collection

As the air turns crisp and the leaves begin to change, I couldn’t resist diving into the warm, nostalgic vibes of the Autumn Archives Collection by Kelly Bangs for Spellbinders. This collection is brimming with rich colors, vintage patterns, and charming seasonal icons that perfectly capture the magic of fall. I decided to create two coordinating cards using a mix of the Autumn Archives Chipboard Die Cut Stickers, Chipboard Alphabet Stickers, and the Autumn Archives Cardstock Diecuts . Both cards share a similar background and autumn palette, yet each has its own unique personality.

Card One: Changing Seasons

For my first card, I started with the soft peach patterned background, which is both subtle and warm, perfect for letting the embellishments shine. I layered a large golden-yellow tag from the chipboard die cut stickers as the focal point. To add extra detail and depth, I tucked a scattering of small fall leaves around the tag and topped it with a mushroom sticker for that charming forest feel.

The tag’s sentiment, “Changing Seasons”, really sets the tone for the card, so I kept the rest of the design supportive rather than overwhelming. I layered a framed fall scene just below the tag, pairing it with a small label that reads “The Best Seasons”, a sweet nod to my love for autumn. The mix of textures from the chipboard elements gives this card dimension and a cozy, tactile finish.

Card Two: Autumn Wish

The second card is all about playful typography and bold florals. I began with the same peach patterned background to tie it in with the first card. Across the top, I arranged a lush spray of autumn blooms, mixing deep reds, yellows, and creamy whites for a warm and inviting feel.

The sentiment, “Autumn Wish”, was created using the Autumn Archives Chipboard Alphabet Stickers, which bring so much fun with their mismatched patterns-gingham, stripes, and florals all living in perfect harmony. I positioned the large, layered “WISH” in the center, allowing it to become the main focal point, with the smaller “AUTUMN” word balancing the design above it. This combination of bold lettering and florals creates a vibrant, cheerful greeting perfect for sending seasonal cheer.

Bringing It All Together

These two cards make a beautiful pair, unified by their shared background pattern, cozy color palette, and dimensional chipboard elements. Whether you’re drawn to the structured design of the Changing Seasons card or the bold and playful style of Autumn Wish, both are easy to recreate using the Autumn Archives Collection.

The mix-and-match nature of this collection makes it a joy to work with, you can keep your designs clean and minimal or layer to your heart’s content for extra texture and personality. With just a few pieces from the embellishment bundle and chipboard sets, you can create quick, heartfelt cards that celebrate the beauty of fall.
