Soft Seedlings - Falling Leaves

Fall is in the air! I noticed some of the leaves are starting to change colors here in Indiana. This is a similar card I saw online that actually looks like falling leaves. The colors of leaves I made were Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, and Cherry Cobbler. I also sprayed it with a Spritzer that contained 70% Alcohol and Champagne Mist that Stampin' Up! used to sell. It really makes it sparkle and shine!

Stamp Set: Soft Seedlings

Cardstock: Cherry Cobbler, Basic White

Ink: Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive

Other: Paper Trimmer, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Shammy, Spritzer with Champagne Mist

1. The base of the card is Cherry Cobbler cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4”.

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

3. Ink up the leaf first with Crushed Curry and stamp it across the Basic White cardstock. Clean off the stamp with the Shammy,

4. Ink up the leaf with Pumpkin Pie ink and stamp below the Crushed Curry leaves. Clean off the stamp with the Shammy.

5. Ink up the leaf with Cherry Cobbler ink and stamp below the Pumpkin Pie leaves. Clean off Shammy.

6. I added more Crushed Curry leaves at the top to cover the white spaces. Clean off the stamp with the Shammy.

7. Ink up the sentiment “Thinking of You” with Old Olive ink at the bottom of the right-hand side of the card.

8. Adhere the Basic White to the front of the card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Soft Seedlings - For You with Sponge Daubers

This card was cased from LeeAnn Greff, but I put more Cherry Cobbler on the ends of my leaf. I didn't have the Festive Pearls to add to my card because they are on backorder. I hope to order and add them soon. I've had a lot of fun using different techniques with some of the awesome videos demos have posted such as Poppin Pastels, Watercolor Paper using Water Painters and refills, using the Sponge Daubers, etc. I think this is going to be a popular set this year. It doesn't come as a bundle but you could fuzzy cut the leaf on your cards if you desired.

Stamp Set: Soft Seedlings

Cardstock: Thick Very Vanilla, Soft Succulent, Cherry Cobbler

Ink: Soft Succulent, Cherry Cobbler, Evening Evergreen

Other: Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Paper Trimmer, Double Oval Punch, Sponge Daubers, 3/8” Gold Shimmer Ribbon, Festive Pearls, Stampin’ Seal, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Dimensionals

1. The base of the card is Thick Very Vanilla cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.

2. The second layer is Soft Succulent cardstock cut at 3-3/4” x 5” and inserted into the Fall Leaf 3D Embossing Folder and run through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine. Adhere to the front with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

3. The Cherry Cobbler cardstock is cut at 2-7/8” x 3-7/8” and the Very Vanilla cardstock is cut at 2-3/4” x 3-3/4”.

4. Ink up the leaf stamp with Soft Succulent ink (the lightest color first). Add Cherry Cobbler with a Sponge Dauber on the ends of the little seedlings and tips of the leaf. Then add a little bit of Evening Evergreen.

5. Huff on it to remoisten the ink on the stamp and stamp onto the Very Vanilla cardstock.

6. Layer the Cherry Cobbler layer on the card front at an angle with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

7. Add the leaf layer image in the middle but centered.

8. Punch out a small Very Vanilla Oval and a Cherry Cobbler scallop oval. Ink up the sentiment “For You” with Cherry Cobbler on the small Very Vanilla Oval. In between the layers add the ribbon using Stampin’ Seal. Use Dimensionals to add to the bottom left of the card.

Soft Seedlings - Poppin' Pastels

This is a fun technique to try using the Stampin' Pastels and Versamark ink. I used the Pick-a-Tool to scrape some of the pastels on a clear block and picked each color up with a Sponge Dauber. I think my Versamark needed to be reinked, but this card was inspired by Colleen Magness.

Stamp Set: Soft Seedlings

Cardstock: Coastal Cabana, Shimmery White, Night of Navy

Ink: Versamark, Stampin’ Pastels: Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana, and Night of Navy

Other: Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder, Embossing Buddy, Pick-a-Tool, 3/8” Pool Party Sheer Ribbon, Sponge Daubers, Spritzer with 70% Alcohol and Champagne Mist, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Glue Dots, Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels, Gum Eraser

1. The base of the card is Coastal Cabana cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.

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

3. The third layer is Coastal Cabana cardstock cut at 3-3/4” x 5” and inserted into the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder and run through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine. Adhere with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

4. Ink up the leaf stamp with Versamark ink and stamp it on the Shimmery White cardstock cut at 2-3/4” x 3-1/2”.

5. On a clear block scrape off each Pastel with the Pick a Tool spatula. Take a Sponge Dauber in the Granny Apple Green pastel shavings and add it to the stems of the stamp. Then use a Sponge Dauber on the Coastal Cabana shavings above the green shavings. Last year the Night of Navy shavings around the edges of the leaves. Use the Gum Eraser to remove any excess or a brush.

6. Spray with the Spritzer to seal the pastels. Set aside to dry.

7. Add the 3” x 3-3/4” Night of Navy cardstock at an angle on the card. Add the Shimmery White cardstock so it is straight on the card front.

8. Add a bow with the Pool Party Ribbon at the base of the leaf.

9. Add three Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels.
