I also used the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper. This set of papers is one of my favorites for anything fall. The color combinations of the plaids are so versatile that you can use them for general fall themed cards, Halloween, Thanksgiving and even Christmas.
The plaid design I chose was a simple design with a Bumblebee color plaid. I die cut the leaf from the matching Bumblebee Cardstock and then used a sponge dauber to brush some Bumblebee ink around the outside edges to give it some definition and to make it look a little more real as leaves that have fallen are not perfectly all one color.
I added some Early Espresso cardstock as a mat behind my plaid piece, some Early Espresso ink for my sentiment and topped it off with a bow made with the Early Espresso Faux Suede Ribbon. And you also might have noticed that I gave my piece of Whisper White Cardstock a little texture too by using the Wrapped in Texture Embossing Folder. This is one of the new folders that is sized to go through the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (which will hopefully be available by the end of the year), so it’s not as wide – it’s only 3 3/8″ wide. So it won’t cover the entire front of a regular A2 size card which is 4 1/4″ wide. So that is where the side panel of plaid covers the part of the Whisper White Cardstock that is not embossed.
If you would like to make this card, these are the supplies that you will need:
- Lots of Leaves Stamp Set
- Dies: Stitched Leaves (leaf) and Stitched So Sweetly (sentiment)
- Embossing Folder: Wrapped in Texture
