I know it’s technically still summer, but I couldn’t wait any longer to share this Autumn Leaf Card!
This was my contribution to a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Card Swap featuring products from the July-December 2022 Mini Catalogue. Since it seems like temperatures have dropped as soon as September hit, I thought I could share this card now….especially since I -did- see some leaves changing colour on a recent road trip over Labour Day Weekend. (Only a few, but they were definitely NOT green leaves).
I loved how this autumn leaf card turned out – and how easy it was to create. I inked up the large stamp from the Soft Seedlings stamp set in Crumb Cake ink, then I used my sponge daubers to add Crushed Curry and Merry Merlot to the leaf portion before stamping onto the Very Vanilla Cardstock.
I love the font on the sentiment – and was sure to use my Stamparatus to stamp it, since I was making 21 of the same card! If I was doing only one card, I might just stamp it “free hand” using a block, but I know that making multiples means not every one will be straight if I do it that way. (Or it will take me 10 times as long to create each card….and “nobody got time for that!”). I always think it’s good to have a “Thinking of You” card in your stash – because it covers a lot of reasons to send someone a card. A little bit of Gold 1/4″ Shimmer Ribbon adds a finishing touch and dresses up this card a little more.
