Fall Leaves

A Handmade Card Celebrating Autumn

Fall Leaves Greeting Card

Fall Leaves Card

By Wendy Kennedy

Card Making Materials

  • Rust Card stock
  • Karen Foster Checked Weathered Wood Paper
  • A maple leaf stamp
  • A stamp saying 'Fall' or stamp letters
  • Dark Brown Ink Pad
  • Caramel Ink Pad
  • Red/Green rainbow ink pad
  • Light Brown ink pad
  • Adhesives

How to Make the Fall Leaves Card

  • I used a 5.5" x 8.5" piece of Cinnamon Bazzill card stock folded in half for my card.
  • Cut a piece of the checked weathered wood paper 5.5" x 4.25".
  • Tear the edges so it's smaller than the card front. Ink the edges with dark brown ink.
  • Stamp several maples leaves randomly in caramel, then red/green, then dark brown, then light brown. Overlap & go different directions, have some only partly on the paper.
  • Attach to the front of the rust paper.
  • Stamp 1 dark brown maple leaf and the word 'Fall' on another piece of checked weather wood paper.
  • Tear out the word 'Fall' and ink the edges with dark brown.
  • Cut out the brown stamped leaf (leave a narrow border).
  • Stick 'Fall' and the leaf to the front of your card wherever you think they look good.

NOTE: If you don't have the Foster paper - it's a wood background that looks aged & has some random slightly darker squares on it. You could use a beige wood paper & stamp the squares. Or you could just use a beige or mottled beige paper.
