This is such a wonderful time to let friends know you are grateful for them! And this sentiment from the Falling for Leaves stamp set is great for doing just that!
The base of this card is Crumb Cake card stock. The Whisper White panel was embossed with the Petal Burst Embossing Folder. The sentiment was stamped in Soft Suede ink and punched with the Starburst Punch.
The leaves were punched using the fun Sprig Punch, and a little bow was tied with Festive Farmhouse Cotton Twine. This is an easy card to make, and so nice to send at this time of year đ
And, the Winner Is ….

Are you thankful for fall? I am, and I’m thankful for all of you, my blog readers! So I created this fun “thankful” card with some bright fall colors!
This card uses a watercolored panel stamped with most of the stamps in the Falling for Leaves Stamp Set available from Stampin’ Up! This is very simple watercoloring. Using a panel of Watercolor Paper, spritz it all over with a Stampin’ Spritzer filled with water. Then stamp the different leaf stamps with various colors onto the paper. Blot with a tissue where you want the bleeding of the colors to stop. Let the watercolor panel dry or use a heat tool to dry it thoroughly before using. You can see the colors I used in the product list at the end of this post.
On top of the watercolored panel is a 2″ circle of Old Olive card stock embossed with the absolutely fabulous Corrugated Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. This is quickly becoming my favorite embossing folder!!
You might notice that I’ve “distressed” some of the panels of this card. I really like distressing parts of my cards. I happen to use a distressing tool that Stampin’ Up! used to sell đ but sometimes I also use my fingernail or scissors. You can do the same thing to your cards!

The red used in the paper and on my card is Cherry Cobbler. It’s a classic deep red and I love using it for the holidays!
Pretty Pointer: To give a sentiment a different look, trim closely around the words with your Paper Snips. The sentiment becomes much more versatile because it will fit in smaller spots! Try it!
Behind the sentiment you see a strip of our Chicken Wire Elements and some 5/8″ Burlap Ribbon. I’ve actually pulled off a few layers of burlap from this strip to use on another project, so the strip you see here is not quite 5/8″.
A few Metallic Sequins and a bow of the Cherry Cobbler Festive Farmhouse Cotton Twine finish off the card.
And We Have A Winner!
