This is my first, 2023 Fall card, created with Season of Chic, a current set in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. When I saw the colors in a color challenge, it made me think of Fall leaves: Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral, Sweet Sorbet, and Blackberry Bliss. I’ll be sending this as a Thanksgiving card.
Leaf Fall
I began with a Blackberry Bliss card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. This was layered with Basic White Cardstock, 4 ” X 5 1/4″, embossed with the Leaf Fall Embossing Folder.
This embossing folder isn’t in the catalog, because it’s an online exclusive. Clicking on its picture in my Product List below will take you there.
Prior to embossing, I stamped leaves from the Season of Chic Stamp Set, in Sweet Sorbet, Calypso Coral, and Daffodil Delight.
Next, I used Chic Dies to cut leaves in the same colors of cardstock, and glued them in place.
The sentiment, “you make each season of life even more beautiful,” is from the Season of Chic Stamp Set. I stamped it in Blackberry Bliss Ink, used a Christmas Classics Die (available Sept 6) for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals.
For a little sparkle, I added three Flat Adhesive Backed Pearls.
I was inspired by The Paper Players.
