Louise Sharp, my dear Aussie friend, spent 10 days with me over the past couple of weeks. On Sunday, we delivered her to her next destination (Nashville, Tennessee). We had a wonderful time while she was here, and we miss her so much. Today I’m sharing a card Louise made on her last night here – and I couldn’t love it more. Here’s Louise’s donut-filled birthday card:
The donuts are stamped with the More Than Autumn stamp set, new in Stampin’ Up!’s 2024 Holiday Mini Catalog. This set is PERFECT for the pumpkin pie spice enthusiasts in your life (and there are many), but there are so many other great images and sentiments in the set. Here’s a look at the More Than Autumn Bundle:
Louise stamped the donuts with StazOn Jet Black ink on Fluid 100 Water Color Paper and the water colored them with Melon Mambo ink and Summer Splash ink and a Water Painter. She added a touch of Pecan Pie to the golden brown donuts below the sweet icing. Here’s a closer look:
The sentiment on Louise’s festive card is pulled from the Throughout the Year stamp set, which was recently in the Online Exclusives (but has since gone away). It’s the perfect sentiment for this card, but there are other perfect sentiments that can be selected if you don’t have this set. She added a nest of Linen Thread that’s a perfect accent on the card.
Louise mounted the Fluid 100 Water Color Paper with a frame of Melon Mambo and then mounted it on a striped page of Summer Splash paper from the 2024-2026 In Color 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. I love how she chose to position the focal panel on the top part of the card base.
If you love the mix of Pecan Pie, Melon Mambo and Summer Splash as much as I do, I hope you’ll save this for future reference:
Stamps: More Than Autumn, Throughout the Year (retired) Papers: 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper (Summer Splash), Summer Splash, Melon Mambo, Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper, Basic White Inks: Melon Mambo, Summer Splash, Pecan Pie, StazOn Jet Black Accessories: Water Painters, Linen Thread
Don’t you just love Louise’s card?! It was such a joy to have Louise here, and it was an honor to have her crafting in the Fungeon (my craft room). I’m so happy I could share some of her creations with you.
Thanks for stopping by today!

Those colors couldn’t be fresher and more fun for this donut card.
The color combo and the font of the sentiment make this a very pretty card. I love her great coloring. Enjoy your day!
I do love this card!! The colors and those donuts….what’s not to love!
