Stamp Me Silly

Here is my version of harvest and hope.  It’s really a simple layering of some stamped then die cuts of of the shapes.

stitched leaves, love of leaves

Simple fall, hope harvest or masculine card

i used Love of leaves stamp set and Stitched Leaves Dies to cut them out.  I used DSP Harvest Meadow and the 2021-2023 InColor DSP.  Then an embossed strip of copper foil.  A couple of holiday gems in gold and you are done.

Tip on the strip of embossed metallic foils.  Emboss a whole 6 x 6 sheet and then cut into 1/2 or 1 inch strips.  Then they are ready to go for all over you cards.  It just adds such a nice touch.

I also got to use one of the vellum squares as a bit of an anchor to the bottom of the card.  I really liked the way it came out and will probably add this to the gift packs I make for my family.  Could be a good masculine card for anything too.

      Thanks, I love these particular colors anyway, but the leaves are changing here and in Maine, and they were the inspiration.

    I love the bolder colors of the leaves. And adding that velum square was a perfect touch. Now I need to buy some of those squares.

      I love the sentiment. I know most are doing more of the harvesty kind of sentiments, but I actually needed one of these. Thanks

      I may have gotten some inspiration from the colors I saw in Maine. Just got back from a wedding there and they were not quite peaking, but very pretty.
