Welcome to the One Stamp At a Time Blog Hop! I'm so glad to have you here at Create With Christy! We blog hop every month, and this month, our theme is Falling for Folds - Fancy Fold & Coordinating Treat Holder or Place Setting.
I made a fun fold card and a treat holder for my blog hop projects, and they both feature the Autumn Leaves Bundle from the Stampin' Up! September-December 2023 Mini Catalog.
My fun fold card is a Joy Fold Card. I made another Joy Fold Card in my last Card Class @ Home that featured the Modern Garden Bundle. I have a video for this class, and you can watch it by clicking the link below. There are three cards made in the video, but the link below will take you directly to the Joy Fold Card.

I chose my all-time favorite Fall paper for this card, and it's called All About Autumn Designer Series Paper (DSP). I'm not the only one that loves this DSP pack. It's been so popular that it has sold out THREE times since it came out in September! A few days ago, it came back in stock, but it sold out within a few hours. No worries, though...a new shipment is supposed to come in the week of October 23, 2023.
I used three different designs from this DSP on this card. You can see the one I used on the inside of the left flap below. One thing I did differently from the Joy Fold Card I made in my video is that I added a piece of DSP to the inside of the card BEFORE I attached the small, center card to it.
Here's the card completely open. The Mossy Meadow/Copper Foil design on the inside of the flap is actually the back of the leaf design from the front of the flap. That's another thing I like about this DSP...each design has a foil design on one side!
For my treat holder, I made an oldie but a goodie. The main pouch is made out of a 6" x 6" piece of the All About Autumn DSP. This pouch can be made without any adhesive, but I did add a little bit on the back of the folded down triangle on the front of the pouch to keep it down. I made one of these treat pouches five years ago for my 12 Weeks of Fall & Halloween, and you can watch it by clicking the link below to learn how to make the base of the treat pouch.

The leaf was put on the front using Stampin' Dimensionals. The bow is made out of two strands of Linen Thread. I do this a lot with this thread...I love the double-bow look. I attached it to the leaf using a Mini Glue Dot.
