Looking for a fun fall card to say thank you to that someone special? The Elegant Leaves stamp set (168300) might be just the thing you’re looking for to create wonderful projects inspired by falls colors.
And if you love options it’s part of a Bundle that has coordinating Dies too! Making it a lot of fun to work with and gives you tons of options for creating.
Today’s card tutorial focuses on a simple stamping technique, called stamping off. This technique is a great way to get several shades of color from a single ink pad and create wonderful tone on tone images too.
As you can see I’ve done a tone on tone leave and my second leaf uses two different colors pulling in the warm In Color, Golden Glow which I just knew would be wonderful for my projects this autumn when I first saw it.
Want to see how I created this card? I’ve whipped up a quick video tutorial for you along with a PDF that contains a supply list and measurements.
And don’t forget to stop back by next week. While I will be enjoying some time with my daughter I’ve scheduled some things I wanted to share with you while I am away.
Fall, brings rich warm colors to the landscape along with those wonderful fall flowers. Today’s card uses the Sunflower Fields Suite (168365)
that is filled with those rich colors and images.
Check out today’s card that let’s that special someone know you’re thinking about them.
The fun little Early Espresso vase is one of the fun die cut shapes found in the bundle and it’s been filled with a warm Golden Glow flower that has had color added to it with our Stampin’ Blends.
The sentiment repeats that Early Espresso and has been cut out using an old favorite of mine, the Nested Essentials Dies (161597).
If you don’t have this set of Nested Essential Dies that has been used for this project you’ll want to check them out. I think you’ll find it a really wonderfully versatile set to have on hand as it is filled with some great basic shapes that you can layer.
Why not stop by my Online Store and check out this and other wonderful products that are available for your crafting need. And be sure to check out the Last Chance section, with Tuesday’s update of the Last Chance List you’ll find some wonderful deals too.
and you’ll reveal this fun little pull out card to place your message on.
How was this card made? It’s a typical card base made a bit shorter but scored the same – so you’ll use a 4 1/4″ x 9 3/4″ card base scored at 5 1/2″. Decorate the back of the inside. Then add a strip of our Tear & Tape along the top and the bottom edges of the card front and adhere. The pull out card measures 3 1/4″ x 5″ and slips easily into the pocket. I do recommend you use a Thick Basic White for this or card stock so it moves easily and doesn’t flex as much.

It’s another beautiful fall day here in North Georgia. And while it is a bit warmer than normal it is still a great day for taking a walk in the woods to enjoy the changing season.
This bundle uses a fun two step stamps that allows you to stamp images multiple ways and in multiple colors. Today’s card uses the detail two step image and dies to create a tone on tone effect for the leaves.
Do you notice the frame around the sentiment? This was created with the Tile Garden Dies (168573) which has been taken from a square shape to rectangular one simply buy running it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss twice.
A simple trick that allows you to create more shapes with this die set staple.
Sunflowers, those smiling faces raising about the garden. My son enjoyed planting these when he was in high school and I learned I could dry them and then set them out for the birds as the weather changed from fall to winter giving them an extra food source. We enjoyed watching them outside our dinner each night.
I really like these colors together for fall, how about you?
The Party Banner Dies (165264) has been used to cut the plaid pattern and Stampin’ Blends have been used to add color to the die cut sunflower image. A fun little matt Cajun Craze dot from the Painted Patch Adhesive Backed Dots (168443) adds a bit of texture and repeats the dots on the Designer Series Paper too.
