Doesn’t this card just give you all the cozy fall vibes?
For today’s project, I’m creating with the Autumn Sips set, featuring a beautiful glass of hot apple cider. There’s just something about a warm drink and those rich autumn colors that makes me want to curl up with a cozy blanket!
I used the coordinating stamp and stencil set to bring my cider to life. One of the things I love about this collection is the versatility. While I chose to stamp my image, you could also use the coordinating foil plate to add a beautiful touch of shine to your design.
For my glass of cider, I worked with a mix of warm yellows, oranges, and just a hint of brown. These colors blend together beautifully to create that rich, golden appearance of apple cider. It’s such a simple way to capture the warmth of the season!

The Autumn Sips set also includes a lovely banner that works perfectly with the glass of cider. I used the coordinating stencil to add a mix of teal shades, creating a beautiful contrast against all those warm autumn colors.
One detail I really appreciate about Pinkfresh Studio products is the little alignment triangles. They make lining up the coordinating dies so easy! Once my banner was colored, I used the coordinating die to cut it out for a perfectly finished look.
For the sentiment, I stamped “Sending You a Warm Hug” onto the banner. I couldn’t think of a more fitting greeting for this cozy little card!

To bring everything together, I created a softly ink-blended background using shades of orange and coral. I wanted something warm and colorful that would complement the cider without taking attention away from the main image.
For a little extra interest and texture, I added splatters using Distress Spritz in Antique Linen. I love the subtle shimmer this adds when it catches the light!
Finally, I arranged my elements on the card front and adhered everything with thin foam squares. This gives the glass of cider and sentiment just enough dimension while keeping the overall design simple and clean.

Don’t forget that today’s card is part of the Pinkfresh Studio Gather and Bloom Instagram Hop! There is so much beautiful inspiration to discover using this latest release.
