Grateful for Someone Like You with Falling for Leaves

It has been cool in Atlanta this weekend (it’s been in the 60’s and low 70’s) – my kind of weather. It really put me in the mood for a lovely Fall-themed project, so I reached for Falling for Leaves and some beautiful, warm colors. I’m so happy with the result – here’s my card:

Tips, Tricks and Reminders

• Two New Products. When I was finished with today’s card, I was so proud of myself for sticking with one stamp (rather than combining multiple stamp sets in one project) – until I realized I had, in fact, used two stamp sets. [insert surprised face] The star of this show is the big, bold leaf that was stamped with Falling for Leaves and cropped with the Detailed Leaves Framelits Dies. Here’s a look at the Falling for Leaves Bundle:Suprise! With all the gorgeous sentiments in the Falling for Leaves stamp set, I reached for the gorgeous sentiments in the Country Home stamp set for this card. I stamped this sentiment right on the Grapefruit Grove band of cardstock from the Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper. Here’s a look at the Country Home stamp set:
• Gorgeous Colors. I used three Stampin’ Blends to color the elements on this bold leaf: the Light Cajun Craze, Dark Cajun Craze and Light Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends. By blending some of these colors on select elements of the leaf and simply coloring other with a clean block of color, I added some beautiful depth to this image. Here’s a closer look: The base of this card pulls together two gorgeous papers from the Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper in Stampin’ Up!’s 2018 Annual Catalog. One features a lovely, textured Cajun Craze and Grapefruit Grove panel and one is just Grapefruit Grove. I love how they support this colored leaf. Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in the Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper:Earlier this year, I shared some new and fun color combinations with the Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper – you can see those combinations here.
• Color Combination. I knew I wanted to work with Cajun Craze when I set out to make this card. Little did I know that Grapefruit Grove and Calypso Coral would make their way into my project (and I couldn’t be happier).
