As promised here are some "Fall" like cards and I hope you are smiling as this is a clean, easy, crisp and fun card! This is a great example of "less is best" and also "easy is great"!
The color of the base is Very Vanilla (I thought it looked like white in the picture) and I cut it to the "note card" size – a 3 1/2" X 5" card!
I adore this size as it is the “perfect” size to pop a quick note in the mail and truth be told…I wish that Stampin’ Up! would come out with Very Vanilla Envelopes in this size!
Confessions of an honest stamper…this leaf stamp comes from the Wonderfall Stamp Set and it’s a keeper for 2 reasons!
- It’s a beautiful stamp set…fun and fresh….and
- It comes with the Autumn Accents Bigz Die that will make you look like a pro…AND…it is on SALE so a BIG WOOT-WOOT!!!
BUT…If you follow my blog you read that I had to take everything out of my work area and I can hardly wait for the weekend to come to put it back together – I could not find the die so I needed to “fussy cut” the leafs…which was easy peasy!
The colors I used today were Pear Pizzazz, Rich Razzleberry, and Chocolate Chip! Fresh and fun!
Cutting the Very Vanilla piece ¼” smaller than the base…I ran it through the Big Shot using the Polka Dot Embossing Folder to pull out the polka dots from the leafs!
Matting it with a corner rounded piece of Rich Razzleberry card stock, (and YES – I saved paper and cut some shapes from the inside)…made the card come to life!
I did pop the leaves and sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals as it is the perfect element to make it go WOW!
Let’s get to the sentiment before I forget…it is from the Embellished Events Stamp Set…simple!
TIP ALERT: I find (and again it is a personal preference) when just doing a simple sentiment like this, I use the “brush end” of my marker rather than using the stamp pad – why? = I think when you have a super skinny sentiment like this you are more likely to get too much ink and “wobble” as you stamp!
Naturally the envelope came to life with the Envelope Punch Board and then the liner was from the Brights Designer Series Paper Stack and is the perfect finale!
I hope that this card brings a smile to your face and you can think of someone to send a simple card like this to just letting them know that you are thinking of them!

Until tomorrow!
Love all the dots! Not sure if I have seen a leaf the color of the rich razzleberry – maybe close to a Japanese Maple? I agree with the tip about using the marker for the simple sentiment – I have squished and wobbled a few. Love the corner treatment too. Fun, my set has not seen much stamping this year though I think the little acorn needs to come out and play again! Looking forward to tomorrow!
Hi Susan: Love this card. The colors are so bright & cheerful. I am rethinking getting this stamp set since you mentioned it has “dies” to cut out the leaves.
Love your site, and look forward every day to seeing what you have to share with us.
Thanks for the inspiration.
