Hello there! The Greetery has a beautiful new line-up of Fall products releasing Friday called Leaf & Blade, and I'm excited to show you what I made with these new products!
Starting things off is a really pretty card with a color combo I'm loving for Fall! I used the new Grace Upon Grace stamp set, to stamp the sentiment and layered up lots of layers of crimped rectangle die cuts, to create this entire card front. Super simple.
Then, I used the new Layered Leaves stamp set and dies, to create these gorgeous detailed branches!
The stamping goes right to the edge of the die cuts, so there's no border around the stamping, which makes them look more detailed and realistic.
PRO TIP: Make your branches even more interesting by changing up the colors you use slightly. For instance, on the main branch here, there are two main base layers and then two detail stamps to go on top of them. I stamped the first base layer in orange, and the second base layer in a stamped-off version of the same color. It just gives you some lighter leaves and some darker leaves, but all with the same color.
ANOTHER PRO TIP: For the pink leaves tucked in, that's a smaller die and stamps and for those, I just die cut them from the pink card stock and didn't stamp the base layer at all. You could easily just die cut these leaves from any color card stock and ONLY stamp the details, like I did here. Also, just as on the larger branches, I changed up my ink color on the pink card stock! So, some of the details are stamped in pink and some are stamped in the same gray I used on the orange leaves. Using that same gray detail on both the orange and the pink, helps to tie them together. But throwing in a bit of pink ink on pink card stock is just fun! Haha!

For this one, I used the new BotaniCuts Ginkgo.....Oooooh, this one is preeeetty. I kept it really simple and die cut it from the yellow card stock, and then used a q-tip to add some ink shading on the blooms, as well as a darker color on the stems. Easy peasy!
Tucked a few enamel dots in for some added interest.
This is the same Grace Upon Grace stamp set from above, only this time, I also used the new coordinating hot foil die! I ran it through my vagabond with embossing mats and watercolor card stock (this card stock is nice and thick!), and got this great impression. Then, I went back and stamped the sentiment in the debossed impression.

One more for today.....for this one, I pulled out the previously released Tartan Plaid Diagonal stencil set, to create that orange plaid background. Then, I die cut a large circle from kraft card stock with a Crimped Circle die and layered that over the plaid.
Then, I used the new Pampas Grass stamp set and dies to create the pretty, fluffy pampas grass die cuts. Why go with traditional pampas grass colors when you can have some fun with color, I ask you? Haha! I also used the new Botanicuts Wheat dies to create wheat sprigs to tuck in around the pampas grass.
Lastly, I used the new Let's Have a Word: Autumn die and a new stamp set you'll see tomorrow, for the sentiment!
