Autumn can be such a beautiful time of year – changes colors of trees & shrubs. The main word is change… and flexibility is the key to change. Enough philosophy :O) My card is masculine in nature & one of gratitude. It uses the Autumn Leaves stamp set & coordinating dies PLUS the awesome All About Autumn DSPn – now back in stock!

I began with Early Espresso card stock and this All About Autumn SDSP. Our daughters are avid readers, as are their husbands, so guess I was thinking of them while making this card. Notice the narrow strip on the right side, that’s the other side of one of the designer papers in this pack, a Copper Clay color & gold- gorgeous! I’ve attached the die cut Deckled Circles to the main front of the card, but it would be so easy to attach instead to the narrow panel at right. Another option would be to have an additional layer of card stock under the DSP – I simply did not do that this time. So, change.

The front leaf was stamped in Pretty Peacock ink on Very Vanilla card stock with the Autumn Leaves stamp set, then die cut with the appropriate Autumn Leaves Dies. I adhered this to the die cut circles with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from Autumn Leaves stamp set in Early Espresso ink and trimmed the edges with paper snips and added it to the leaf with a dimensional cut in half in the middle. I had a length of Copper Ribbon that I attached with a glue dot at the bottom of the leaf. The ribbon comes from the Copper & Natural Ribbon Combo Pack. As a final touch I added three Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots in Copper Clay.

For the inside, I had a strip of the All About Autumn SDSP that I attached with liquid glue to the Very Vanilla panel. I then stamped these gorgeous leaves in Copper Clay ink on another piece of Very Vanilla card stock. Of course they are from the Autumn Leaves stamp set. I die cut them with the proper die from the Autumn Leaves Dies. I die cut the veins from a scrap of the All About Autumn SDSP on the copper side and adhered it directly to the leaves then those to the Very Vanilla panel. The Very Vanilla panel was added to the card base.

I kept the envelope very simple… more of the Copper Clay/ gold pattern from the All About Autumn SDSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. And that was it!
