Leaf Week - Day Two

Today's leafy card design features a couple stamped leaves from Fun Stampers Journey Autumn Days stamp set and two die cut leaves from the Journey Blooms Holiday set. 

In addition to leaves I've used various other stamps to make the background. 

The chevron pattern was created with one of the new Journey Media stencils and Splashes. 

I wish you could see the sparkle of the Splash. 

The smaller die cut leaves were rubbed with ink pads to make the veins on the leaves stand out....aren't they pretty? This was such a fun card to make with the various stamps, inks and spray.

Thanksgiving Treats

Brrr....it's chilly outside this morning. Just 49 degrees after a summer of morning temperatures in the 70s! Fall is definitely on its way! So...how about an Autumn Days project share? 

I can't get enough of these realistic leaf stamps so I thought I'd make a little gift and treat box set with them...something one could give their Thanksgiving hosts. 

I used one of the new Journey Advent Boxes for the treat box. Any number of goodies can be tucked inside from home baked cookies to a gift card. 

A little paper pumpkin makes a nice addition to the goody box, don't you think? You can find several tutorials for these types of paper pumpkins on YouTube. I think a bunch of them on your Thanksgiving table would also be super fun! 

Isn't this set cute? The patterned paper is from the Journey Basics Neutrals Pack and I used a mini wood spool for the pumpkin' stem. So fun to make and simple too!

Count Your Blessings

T.G.I.F! I have another autumn card to share with you today that features some gorgeous leaf stamps from Fun Stampers Journey. The set is called Autumn Days and these leaves are beautifully detailed and so fun to create with. 

As you can see, I simply stamped my Oatmeal Cookie card base with the leaves and then topped them with a couple that I painted with re-inkers and Fusion Blending solution. 

Because of the detailing of these images, painting is pretty easy; no need to do shading. 

For the sentiment I used the Give Thanks stamp set and attached the tag to the card with a Mini Wooden Clothespin and some Natural Journey Twine. Simple and easy with lovely results, don't you think?
