Fall is on its way so it is time for some fall cards.  This leaf stepper card fit right in using the Grateful Together designer series paper from Stampin’ Up and the Vintage Leaves stamps and dies. 

To create this card, you just need a few things:

  • Basic Beige card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Cinnamon Cider card stock (retired Stampin’ Up)

For the card base use your Basic Beige card stock and cut to 5 ½” x 11” and score at 2” x 4” x 7 ½” and fold all up.  Cut another piece to 3” x 5”.  From the Grateful Together designer series paper pack and find the Cajan Craze piece with the small leaf background and cut a piece to 1 ¾” x 5 ¼” and cut two pieces to 3 ¼” x 5 ¼”.  Adhere the small piece to the small front section of the card base, one of the larger pieces to the front of the back section and the other to the inside of your card.  Adhere your 3” x 5” Basic Beige piece to the inside on the Cajan Craze leaf piece. 

With the Vintage Leaves stamp set stamp three of the oak leaves on the Cinnamon Cider paper and cut out with the die.  From the Hello Hone stamp two of the maple leaves and cut out with the die and then two of the medium leaves and cut out with the dies..  Then with the Wild Wasabi stamp three of the smaller beech leaves and cut out with the die.  From a scrap piece of Basic Beige cut out a label with one of the Traditional Label Dies. 

Grab your Cajan Craze ink and the “Thinking of You” greeting from Soft Seedlings stamp set and stamp on your label.  Use the “so grateful” stamp and stamp on the inside Basic Beige piece you put on the inside of your card. 

Take one of your large maple leaves and adhere to the left side of the front step and one of the small green leaves to the right.  Use pop dots to adhere your label over the top of the leaves.  For the back portion of the card, adhere two of the Cinnamon Cider oak leaves to the back, making sure they don’t exceed the 4 ¼” height to fit into an envelope.  Then adhere the rest of the leaves around to your liking. 

Happy fall which you can say to anyone with this card.

Beautiful Gallery Thinking of You Card

No Comments

This is a great masculine card, but really anyone would probably enjoy getting it.  It is another easy card where the Beautiful Gallery designer series paper from Stampin’ Up does most of the work.

To create this card, you just need a few things:

  • Crumb Cake card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Early Expresso card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Mossy Meadow card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Basic Beige card stock (Stampin’ Up
  • Beautiful Gallery designer series paper (2025 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Beautiful Motifs stamp set (2025 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Damask Design Embossing Folder (2025 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Mossy Meadow ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

For your card base cut a piece of Crumb Cake card stock to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half and a small label piece to 3/*” x 2 ½”.  From the Early Express cut a piece to 3 ¼” x 5 ½” and another piece to 5/8” x 2 ½” and a third piece for the inside to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”.  Then cut a piece of Mossy Meadow 3 1/8” x 5 ½”, one to ½” x 2 ½” and one for the inside to 4” x 5 ¼”.  Now cut a piece from the Basic Beige for the inside to 3 7/8” x 5 1/8”.

From the Beautiful Gallery designer series paper find the piece that has the cottage on the river and cut it down to 3” x 5 3/8” fitting in the clouds and river to the whay you like it.  I took about ½” off the top and then cut in 5 3/8” from ther right side.

With your Crumb Cake card base and the Damask Design Embossing Folder that is part of the suite, emboss the front section of your card.  Take the cottage paper and adhere to the Mossy Meadow piece and then to the Early Expresso piece and adhere to the front of your embossed card front, about ¼” from the top. 

Take your Crumb Cake label piece, the Beautiful Motifs stamp set and stamp the “Thinking of You” greeting in Mossy Meadow ink.  Adhere your label to the Mossy Meadow label and then the Early Expresso label and adhere centered to the bottom of the front of the card. 

For the inside of your card, take the “You’ve been on my mind” stamp and stamp in Mossy Meadow ink on the upper center of the Basic Beige piece.  Then adhere that to the Mossy Meadow inside piece and then the Early Expresso inside piece and adhere to the inside of your card. 

Now you have a great card you can send to anyone.
