This tall slimline card adds die cut mushrooms and grass along with a long side border of die cut leaves over a stenciled leaf background. There’s also darling woodland critters nestled among the leaves. This card from Rimmie can be found at the Marianne Designs blog.
This stunning card adds acorns with oak leaves that have been die cut with inking added for dimension and color. There’s stamped corner borders and I love the sentiments being stamped directly on the acorns! Take a closer peek at the Papertrey Ink blog.
Illiana used new water reactive inks to ink blend on white cardstock, she then splattered water and white ink on top. Then stamped an all over leaf background stamp and heat embossed it. There’s a large die that will cut out all those leaves and she used them in a fan pattern for this beautiful card design. Watch her video tutorial on the Hero Arts blog.
You can’t have Autumn leaves without trees. This card from Bobbi is full of gorgeously colored stenciled Fall trees with a large stamped and die cut sentiment with die cut leaves tucked around it. Splatter and tiny gold gems at some extra texture. Learn more at the Honey Bee Stamps blog.
How darling is this mouse playing in the leaves card from Samantha!? She colored her stamped images with Copic Markers, then die cut, adding it to a double pendant die with a die cut and stamped sentiment. There’s also a leaf pattern paper background that ties all the colors together. Visit the Pink and Main blog for more info.
Dawn infused pinks and purple into her Autumn leaf cards for an absolutely stunning color palette! She used coordinating stamps and stencils for the leaves and acorns, adding shield die cut shapes behind and some stenciling on the card background. Find all the details at The Greetery Blog.
This wonderful card uses letter pressed leaves inked in traditional Fall colors forming a frame around the edges which pulls the eye in toward the sentiment in the center. Some white splatter adds a little texture and notice the cardstock isn’t white but a light tan/kraft color that works so well with these colors. Take a closer look at the Spellbinders blog.
Colored ink pads add the Autumn tones to the stamped leaves in this sweet card from Diane. In the center she added a die cut yellow circle, a heat embossed sentiment and then tucked a few cut out leaves around the circle. Notice all the faux stitched dies around the edges of the circle, stamped panel and scalloped card base, that helps further tie the design together. Find more info at the Newton’s Nook blog.
This beautiful card uses bold ink colors in red, yellow and blue for the stamped leaves. Each leaf is die cut and placed in rows across the white card base with a small stamped sentiment in the lower corner. I spotted this idea on the Catherine Pooler Instagram page.
Wow, the leaves on this Fall card from Lisa look like actual leaves! But she created them herself using different dye based ink spray colors on thin fibrous paper and then die cut them. The gold frame and sentiment are the perfect compliment to the rustic leaf colors. Learn more at the Jillian Vance Designs blog.
This pretty card from Kelly Marie used an intricate die cut leaf that cuts open all the sections. She cut the base leaf shape from black and then cut again from lots of different fall colors and some gold cardstock and puzzle pieced them into the black base for amazing results! I love the puny heat embossed sentiment too! Take a closer peek at the Lawn Fawn blog.
I hope you will get to enjoy all the beautiful Autumn leaves this year and will be inspired to include them on your next handmade card!
