Gorgeous Leaves and A Grand Kid

It's that time of year. Fall is here and the leaves are starting to turn colors. It's a beautiful time of year.

I made these beautiful leaves for my card using the Gorgeous Leaves in the 2021 July-December Mini Catalog (Holiday Catalog). It's on page 47 and it can be purchased as a Bundle with the Intricate Leaves Dies. It was fun to do a technique called Baby Wipe Technique. You use a baby wipe folded over and put on a block. Then add reinkers of your choice for Fall colors. I used Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, Merry Merlot, and Old Olive. Then use that as your stamp pad.

How I made my card:

Stamp Set: Gorgeous Leaves, A Grand Kid

Cardstock: Crushed Curry, Merry Merlot, Very Vanilla

Ink: Merry Merlot

Reinkers: Crushed Curry, Merry Merlot, Cajun Craze, Old Olive

Other: Paper Trimmer, Label Me Lovely Punch, Label Me Fancy Punch, Multipurpose Glue, Dimensionals, Baby Wipe, Block F

1. The base of the card is Crushed Curry cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 11” and scored at 5-1/2” in the middle.

2. The second layer is Merry Merlot cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/4”.

3. The third layer is Very Vanilla cardstock cut at 3-3/4” x 5”.

4. The Merry Merlot strip is ¾” x 4”.

5. Use a Baby Wipe folded in half and set on Block F.

6. Drop refill inks on a baby wipe. Use as a stamp pad for the leaves and randomly stamp on the Very Vanilla cardstock.

7. Ink up “Happy Birthday” from the A Grand Kid set on Very Vanilla cardstock.

8. Punch out with the Label Me Fancy Punch. Punch out a label from Crushed Curry using the Label Me Lovely Punch. Adhere together. Add Dimensionals to the back and adhere over the Merry Merlot strip.
