It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players! This week we have a theme challenge for you: The Great Outdoors! Anything that you find outdoors is fair game. I elected to go with leaves, and inked up the Vintage Leaves stamp set for the very first time. I hope you enjoy today’s card!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
This finished card measures 4-1/4″ wide by 5-1/2″ long.
- Leaves! No fussy cutting is necessary for this foliage! Leaflets framelits coordinate with this set. How easy is that!
- Layers! Dijon Bohemian Designer Series Paper looks “delightful” with Always Artichoke, Delightful Dijon and Chocolate Chip cardstock. Don’t you just love this simple pattern?
- Friend! The “FRIEND” sentiment from the Awesomely Artistic stamp set is quickly becoming my favorite sentiment for the outside of the cards I create. I then select an appropriate greeting to fit the occasion for the inside…or I write a personal message.
I was anxious to ink up the Vintage Leaves set to see how it compared with the retired French Foliage and Gently Falling sets. I think it will be a perfect set for fall cards, and one which will be quite versatile. I already have several more designs in mind for when the Stamp Review Crew features it in September. And speaking of the Stamp Review Crew, we will be featuring the Sprinkles of Life set as my second post later today. So stop in again!
As always, your comments are important to me. Won’t you let me know what you think of today’s card? And of course, if you have any questions about the cards I create or the techniques I use, I am only an email away. Until next time…
This is so pretty! Love the rich warm colors of the leaves!
Ann, this stamp set and dies was not at all on my radar but you have me quickly re-thinking. What a gorgeous card. I love, love, love your layout and colors, and the stack of leaves looks wonderful.
This is a gorgeous fall card, I love that new set! All the details are amazing..from the embossed background to the tiny pearls!
Gorgeous, Ann! Those leaves are stunning! And isn’t it nice that you don’t have to cut them out! Love the embossed background and your choice of DSPs as well. And I agree, that little “friend” is the best!
Love your card Ann – very fall, very you! I love the showcase of these new leaves, they look fabulous. The scored background, pearls and Bohemian dsp are the perfect backdrop – gorgeous!
Gorgeous! I have been waiting to see a leaf done with the Delightful Dijon! It works perfectly. Love the colors you chose and that Bohemian DSP looks like it was made for this card! This is definitely going to be CASEd once I have the appropriate goodies! Love the touch of the pearls with that great “friend” stamp. I wonder what all this rain we have had will do to the leaves this fall? I am sure they will be as stunning as your card! Thanks Ann, I am totally in love with this card!
Absolutely GORGEOUS! Leaves are SO PRETTY and of course the dies are awesome. Wonderful detail, Ann! Hugs!
I absolutely love this set with the framelits and your fabulous card has me soooo inspired…waiting to order this bundle in a few months…went a bit crazy for swaps so this was to wait! Thank you for sharing such great inspiration!
Hi Ann! Stunning Autumn card! I think these are my favorites from your collection!! I love the leaf bouquet and pretty layers. Great idea for the friend sentiment too, I’ll have to remember that one. ; )
I should’ve added that I also think this new set will replace our retired leaf sets beautifully! Although I’d never get rid of those two, I’d love to add this set to my collection. Maybe a “lesson of the month card”? Can’t wait to see what you design for Stamp Crew!
This card is the hallmark of your style! Autumnal colors, pearls, gorgeous layers and perfect details. Love seeing these new leaves–have yet to purchase but your card is convincing! Beautiful card, mt friend!
Ann, this is so lovely! I absolutely love leaves and the colors are amazing! The embossing and pearls add so much to this layout! I LOVE it! XX
Beautiful – crisp and fresh! Love the colors you chose and card design.
How totally gorgeous, Ann! I love every beautiful detail!
Ann, Love your card–as usual. I was wondering if you use the score pad to create the triangle embossed panel or if you used an embossing folder? I love the look. I tried using the score pad and wasn’t successful. Would you kindly share how you did it. Thanks, Terri
Gorgeous. Throughout my stamping life I’ve been buying fall stamps because I love the fall colors, but then I never make fall cards! Duh! This one gives me ideas. Thanks!
Beautiful Fall card done in gorgeous Fall colors. Your classic pearls are a lovely detail.
Thank you for sharing.
