The upper left card pulls some favorite Designer Papers from the past and mixes it up with some newer accessories. Note the gorgeous new Merry Merlot/shimmery copper ribbon that really sets off the card front! Added to it is one of the little wood hearts from the Hearts and Stars Elements (still on the Clearance Rack at a great price!), a shiny die-cut copper leaf, a little Falling for Leaves stamp inside, and it's done. Many of the cards this month feature a coordinating leaf stamp inside without sentiments so that you can add your own, either from stamps I have or written in your own hand.
The next card is made from the Rooted in Nature bundle of stamps and dies. If you missed the video about this set, see it HERE and note how so many of the Stampin' Up products coordinate so well together. This card has such a nice strong "wood" feel that it would be great for a "guy card", plus has a combination of details and textures that any cardmaker will feel very satisfied with the result.
In the lower left you'll find the new "darling" of the embossing folders, Tin Tile Dynamic and the Galvanized Metallic Paper. I wasn't sure about this country/farm style of design, but do seriously love the fantastic detail that this embossing folder produces! There is another video about additional finishes HERE, but you'll really want to see this in person to appreciate it. With the neutral leaf colors and unique swing-top opening, this will be another card that's hard to give away. Solution? Make more just like it!
The last card uses many of the new Falling for Leaves dies, which are a different, lacier style from most other leaf dies. Again I pulled a favorite Designer Paper from the past (be sure to order papers when they are available, you won't find them again!) and die cut the leaves from the coordinating patterns. Although at first glance the card might seem intricate, it's all rather simple: just attaching the pieces with some dimension and no ribbon tying. Additional sentiments will be available for other occasions as you wish.
