Fall Leaves

 

I began my design with a Rich Razzleberry card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. The next layer is a wonderful pattern of Beauty Of The Earth Designer Paper, cut with the largest Stitched Rectangles Die.

 

The focal point is a leaf, cut from Cork Specialty Paper, using a Stitched Leaves Die, which you can see in the first photo. Next, I used a Stitched Rectangles Die (2 1/4″ X 3 1/2″) to cut a Basic White Cardstock rectangle. Then, I used the same leaf die to cut the stitched leaf outline.

The border was created with Brushed Metallic Cardstock, cut with a Stitched Rectangles Die, one size larger.

After gluing the layers together, I attached it with Dimensionals. I used three strips of left-over edges of Dimensionals. You know, the ones that pile up, but we can’t throw them away. LOL!

 

“Hello” is from the coordinating, Love Of Leaves Stamp Set, stamped in Rich Razzleberry Ink, and cut with a Stitched Leaves Die. Isn’t this leaf cute? I attached it with Dimensionals, and added a bow of gold, Simply Elegant Trim.

 

Our designers have lots of gorgeous leaf designs to share with you. I hope you are inspired, and will hang your creation in our gallery.

I’m also sharing with TGIF.
