Make Fall Leaves

Start by die-cutting several leaves from white cardstock. Sponge ink onto them. I went with a light color scheme because I wanted my card to have a soft, muted feel. You could go with a darker color scheme if you want to make a more vibrant card.

Stack up and adhere some of your leftover die-cuts behind your inked up leaves. This will give them dimension once you adhere them to your card.

Decorate the Card Front

Mount a panel of patterned paper to a top-folded card. Take a sheet of adhesive and tear off part of it. Randomly apply some of the adhesives to your card. Dump glitter onto it to give the card sparkle!

Affix your leaves to the card, creating a leafy cluster as you go. Complete your card by stamping a sentiment on a strip of cardstock and mounting it to the card with 3D Foam Strips.

You’ll also want to add a few sequins or gems near the leaves. Designer’s Tip: one thing I like to do when adhering sequins is to push them down with a pencil eraser. The extra force really helps to make sure they are firmly affixed to the card.

I hope you are inspired by this card to make Fall-inspired Thank You card of your own! Remember, you don’t have to make a card exactly like mine! You can take elements of inspiration from it and run with it. A wreath or background made with die-cut leaves would look amazing! You could even change out the sentiment for a different occasion!
