Falling for Falling Leaves

• Prepare a 4-3/4″ x 5-1/2″ card base from Always Artichoke, scored at the top. (Notice that this is not a standard card size.) Round the two bottom corners with the Corner Rounder.
• Layer with the “Multicolor Leaves” selection from Autumn Traditions. Once again, round the two lower corners.
• Ink assorted leaf stamps from the Falling Leaves stamp set with Perfect Plum, Always Artichoke, and Dusty Durango onto Very Vanilla card stock. Punch out with the 1-1/4″ Square Punch, and pop onto 1-3/8″ Squares punched from Always Artichoke, Perfect Plum, Crushed Curry, and Dusty Durango, using Stampin‘ Dimensionals. These are then layered onto 1-1/2″ squares cut from the same four colors. (I matted as follows: Always Artichoke on Perfect Plum, Crushed Curry onto Always Artichoke, Perfect Plum onto Dusty Durango. The image color matches the bottom mat.)
• Ink the “Happy Thanksgiving” circle with Soft Suede and stamp onto Very Vanilla. Punch using the 1-1/4″ Square Punch, and punch each corner with the Ticket Corner Punch. Mat onto Dusty Durango and Crushed Curry squares.
• Arrange the images as shown in the photograph, and adhere to the Wood Sheet. Mat with Always Artichoke, and distress the edges with Soft Suede ink.
• Add snippets of Dusty Durango and Crushed Curry Polka-Dot Grosgrain Ribbon to the card base. (Tip: Because the paper is already “busy”, I adhered the ribbon polka-dot side down.)
• Position and adhere the image mat to the card base.
• Ink the {Grateful} sentiment with Soft Suede and stamp onto Very Vanilla. Punch with the Window Punch and adhere to a Wood Sheet Modern Label. For a zip of color, punch a second Modern Label from Dusty Durango and snip off the ends. Adhere these ends to the Wooden Modern Label.
• Two Vintage Brads and distressing with Soft Suede finish the sentiment, which is popped onto the card base with Stampin‘ Dimensionals.
