The Love of Leaves stamp set contains leaves with a beautiful watercolour look. The coordinating Stitched leaves dies make this set a fall must have. Today's fall card features Stampin' Up!'s Cajun Craze ink colour, which is a gorgeous deep rust colour. My favourite fall colour is actually red but the dark oranges are a close second. The fall colours in the Beauty of the Earth paper coordinate perfectly with the Cinnamon Cider background layer and the Cajun Craze leaf and card base.
This fall card also follows my favourite stamp design. Creating cards with 3 rectangles of patterned paper as a background is such and easy and versatile design. I created this bright puppy dog card that follows the same design. I have two more cards to share this week featuring the same design but Christmas themed.
Do you notice how the paper is cut to maintain the pattern cohesion? The Beauty of the Earth designer series paper is well suited to this technique. It also pairs so well with the Love of leaves stamp set. I would love for you to make this card yourself. I've included all the measurements below for you. Feel free to print the instructions and include a photo of your card in the comments.
