Autumn in Kyoto inspiration with Alex Syberia Designs & Spellbinders

Oct 15 2026 | By: Lea Lawson

The new Autumn in Kyoto Collection, a stunning collaboration between Alex Syberia Designs and Spellbinders, swept me away into a world of glowing lanterns, golden foliage, and peaceful garden pathways. For these cards, I paired the collection's elegant pagoda scene with warm sunset hues and shimmering autumn leaves, then created a sweet companion card featuring a Kokeshi doll beauty surrounded by softly glowing lanterns and delicate embossed bamboo. Full of dreamy details and serene seasonal charm, this collection beautifully captures the magic of autumn in Kyoto and makes every card feel like a tiny work of art. 🍂✨
