Leaf Splendor stamps and dies

Today I have 2 cards to share with you. First up, a sweet little card using the new Autumn Woofs paper pad and a sentiment from Leaf Splendor. They go so well together!

For this card, I found a sketch on Pinterest and thought it would be fun to try with the new paper pads. I chose my paper and started cutting. The strip is 1.5×5.25 inches and the rectangles are 1.25×2.25 inches.

Then I cut a piece of kraft cardstock and inked the edges up with gathering twigs distress oxide ink. I splattered it with ground espresso ink and stamped my sentiment in the lower right corner before gluing it to a white card base.

I popped the papers up with foam squares and finished the design off with some jute twine wrapped around the inside fold.

Next, I have a simple card using the Leaf Splendor stamp set which started one direction and took a hard left to something completely different. The end result was very inviting for me to mass produce as a fall card to share with extended family.

I started with a piece of watercolor cardstock and my distress oxide inks. These were wild honey, aged mahogany and peeled paint. I was going to add lots of water to blend the colors together, stamp the leaves and die cut them out but I ended up stamping the leaves first, loving the look and turning this into an A7 size card instead.

So at this point, I cut the large scalloped rectangle in the A7 Frames die set from a muted green cardstock in my stash and trimming the leaf panel just smaller than the stitching edge. I stamped and heat embossed my sentiment, using the coordinating die to cut it out.

I plain card front wasn’t working for me so I ink blended gathered twigs distress oxide on the edges and spritzed it with the sprayer too. After popping all the layers up with foam tape I finished the design off with jute twine again.

If you can’t tell that’s a favorite for my fall themed cards. I love the rustic touch it gives to any design.
