It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players! This week The Paper Players are hosting our fabulous “Anything Goes Challenge”! You may create anything you wish as long as it contains a “Fall” element! Maybe it is a specific fall color combination or a fall image! Or how about a few fall embellishments, like leaves or pumpkins! Since my Blog Hop card from yesterday is my “official” challenge card, I will repeat yesterday’s information about it. But I also want to include a few of my favorite fall cards that I have created this year. So be sure to scroll all the way through the post!
- Texture! 1″ squares of Spice Cake Designer Series Paper were punched and adhered to a piece of card stock. This was then zipped through the Big Shot with the Top Note die. The texture was added with the Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The “quilted” Top Note was adhered to a piece of Cajun Craze card stock which had been “texturized” with the Houndstooth Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.
- Leaves! The Gently Falling Leaves were inked in: More Mustard, Crumb Cake, Pool Party, and Cajun Craze and stamped onto Naturals Ivory card stock. The overstamps were inked in Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, and Old Olive to complete the second step of the Two-Step process. The leaves were fussy cut and arranged into a cluster.
- Button and Bow! A new Spice Cake Big Designer Button makes a perfect anchor for the leaf cluster. A snippet of Spice Cake Designer Fabric makes the perfect little accent bow.
- Pennant! The Grateful Greeting sentiment from Grateful Greetings was inked in Early Espresso and stamped onto Naturals Ivory. The edges were daubed in Soft Suede, and a “V” was cut using paper snips.
This card will be hand-delivered to the lucky recipient this Thanksgiving! I hope she likes it! But if you wished to mail this card…simply “leaf” off the top three leaves! Easy peasy!

Beautiful card, love it! Great blog candy that I could put to use if I won it.
Fall colors are my favorite and today’s card is really special. Thanks for the simple explanation of the “quilted” top note. I think the Spice Cake paper is my all-time favorite DSP.
Love the colors…and I LOVE the spice cake DSP…I just ordered some at my local card club…thanks for your inspiration!!
Wow beautiful cards!! So much inspiration on your blog!

Ann, all of your fall cards are goregous! I love the newest fal card. Making a textured tile on the Top Note die is absolutely fantastic. Thank you for the instructions on how to make it becuase I would never have figured it out on my own. 🙂
Hope you have a wonderful week.

Thanks for the revisit on the cards. Each one is a bit unique and oh-so pretty. Wonderful fall cards. I still don’t understand why SU keeps putting a blue in there – is it to imitate the sky?

Ann, All of the autumn cards are beautiful but the card today is gorgeous! My favorte DSP and you just have the creativity to take papercrafting to another level.
Beautiful fall cards Ann. I love the effect created with the embossing folder on the background. Also, the leaves are fabulous.
Fall is my favorite season to stamp and make cards for. I love all the reminders of color combinations, patterned papers and various leaves. Your blog is always inspiring – thanks for sharing!
I like this idea of posting a number of cards of a certain theme, even if they were previously posted at some time, it’s not like a person can always catch all of them, so the review is nice!
I especially like the large green button with the fabric bow.
Wow! I love your beautiful Autumn cards! The colors look wonderful together. It’s an inspiration. Thank you.
What a cool technique to use some scraps, making 1″ squares from them. I love it! All your fall cards are beautiful. …. I love blog candy…
These cards are lovely as usual. I enjoy your cards! The color are so interesting together and I love spice cake designer paper.Thank you for you creativity. first time commenter!!!!!

Fall leaves are my favorite thing about fall. My mom said it wasn’t fall until we could smell a pile of leaves burning(when I was growing up).
Fall is my favorite time of year. Thanks for the fall parade of past ‘treasures’.

Happy Sunday, Ann! Thanks for all your beautiful inspiration, my friends and I duplicated (well,we tried!,ha ha)the French Foliage card and they loved trying a new technique. Thanks for the blog candy prize!
Great collection of Fall cards! and thanks again for sharing and the chance to win blog candy.
As always Ann I love all your fall cards. They are so beautiful and so fall-ish without a doubt. You gave me a new way to use my Houndstooth Embossing Folder and if I ever want the quilted look I now know to use the Lattice Folder on patteren paper. WOW! Great Cards.
Ann, your fussy cutting makes my heart go pitter-patter! I can’t decide whether I like French Foliage or Gently Falling more…is there such a thing as too many leaf stamps? 😉
Thanks so much for inspiring me this morning!
*hugs*

Hey, Ann! So pretty! Inspires me to get some fall cards made. French Foliage is still my favorite fall ss. After seeing Mary Fish’s gorgeous craft room, I am trying to organize mine. Sure is easier to stamp when you can find items!
Great autumn cards and I love the button dressed up with the circle of pearls.
Beautiful cards and great blog candy! Thanks, Ann.
