Happy Saturday everyone! If you have been to The Paper Players blog, you know we are having a blog hop today! The Design Team members have been busy creating Fall projects for your viewing pleasure! Some of us are even offering yummy blog candy, so please make certain to visit each and every Player. A complete list of participants can be found near the end today’s post. My card was created with the Gently Falling stamp set. I hope you enjoy it!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
(5-1/2″ wide x 4-1/4″ long)
- 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!

As a quilter I have to say this is one of the most beautiful cards I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! I might yet have to break down and buy another leaf set! =-) Thanks for sharing your beautiful card and offering blog candy!
Wow! Your card is absolutely beautiful (as always 🙂 I love the colours.
Wowza, Ann! Three of the best things about fall – leaves, gorgeous autumn colors and quilts – all wrapped into one card. I love this! Something else to CASE! 🙂 I’m going into my room right after this to try that Polar Party card, do a few other things and then I’ll have to try this for Thanksgiving cards. Anything to get my mind off the snow that is rapidly accumulating outside (5″ and counting so far… or maybe it’s 6″ already. I don’t know but it’s quickly rising). What happened to fall?
Ann, you never cease to amaze me with your creativity! Love the cluster of leaves along with the quilted background- just so beautiful! Thanks again for sharing your love for stamping and your wonderful talent with us all!
Love how you did your leaves. Your card is fabulous.

The card is outstanding. I can see it being a great fall/Thanksgiving decoration that I would display annually
Gorgeous card Ann, love the material threaded through the button and the patchwork elements.
Thanks for clueing me in early Ann, I didn’t know you were coming for Thanksgiving! Wish I wasn’t just kidding – I would love to have this card hand delivered to me! It is so realistic like a tufted quilt with the texturing. Great job as always! Great blog candy too. Gotta “leave” you to hop along.

Beautiful card. Thank you for a chance for the blog candy.
Love you card! It is so full of color!!! I love when the embellishment sticks out of the card! It makes the whole thing look so different… I’m impatient to see tomorrow’s challenge at the paper players, I’ll be there!!!
I love the quilted look of this card. You did such a beautiful job on it. The colors are perfect!
Ann, love your spray of leaves on that pretty quilt. Beautiful card!
What a beautiful card! I like using different EFs for a mixture of texture. Great colors, too. Thanks for offering such generous blog candy, too.
Seriously, all that 1″ square spice cake dsp adhered, then top note die, AND textured embossing –that alone is worth the WOW factor. It’s beautiful. The blog candy offer is just icing adding to the cake. Thank you.
So much work and such a great outcome! Very nice! TFS!
