Autumn Archives Collection

The Autumn Archives collection by Kelly Bangs brings a cozy, creative twist to fall crafting — think warm plaids, leafy layers and unexpected pops of aqua and coral mixed with traditional autumn hues. It includes patterned papers, dies, alpha sets and embellishments that coordinate beautifully for both cards and scrapbook layouts, making it easy to capture sweater-weather, pumpkin-patch and thankful-gathering moments in style.

Falling Leaves – A set of dies to cut and layer leaves and acorns.
Documenting Labels – Label dies designed to pair with the collection’s papers and die cuts for journaling or sentiments.
Autumn Alpha – A western-style uppercase alphabet die set (26 thin metal dies) for creating custom titles and sentiments.
Changing Trees – Layered tree dies to build whimsical fall tree scenes with multiple cardstock layers.
Autumn Sentiments – A sentiment BetterPress plate and coordinating die combo with fall-themed phrases.

Changing Trees Card

This A2 card feels like a stroll through a fall forest. I layered several trees from the Changing Trees die set in terra cotta, tuscan and merlot. Each tree has tiny details that make it pop with coordinating glitter paper behind each tree. The seaside arched backdrop adds a soft frame. The deep teal makes the colors glow. I foiled the sentiment in gold for an elegant finish.

Slimline THANKS Card

This mini slimline card is all about bold color and clean design. I used a seaside card base to create a strong frame. The merlot panel adds warmth and contrast. The bark 3D embossing brings wonderful texture which allows the Autumn Alpha dies to really shine. I cut the letters from gold mirror metallic cardstock then added texture to the paper. You can find a tutorial for this technique in this blog post. The terra cotta leaf in place of the “A” adds a playful fall touch. A thin gold border finishes the card with a soft hint of shine.

Fall Tag Panel Card

This A2 card is a cluster of layered tags arranged in a grid. Each tag highlights a different fall detail. I added die-cut Falling Leaves in rich seasonal colors. The acorn brings in earthy charm. The mirror metallic gold “FALL” letters tie the design together. They shimmer without overpowering the layout. The tuscan bark background adds texture and grounds the whole piece.

Final Thoughts

These cards were such a joy to create. The Autumn Archives Collection brings so much warmth to autumn crafting. The bold shapes and textured layers make each card feel special.
