I was inspired by a card swap I received to create this pretty card. It features the Love of Leaves bundle; one of my favorites in the new Stampin' Up! 2020 Holiday Catalog. there's also a 3/4" strip of the beautiful Plaid Tidings designer paper here which is where the color combination came from.
We made this colorful card at my Flowerbug's Team gathering on Saturday. It features a two toned stamping technique you should really try! The solid images are perfect for it!
Can you see the two toned effect on the largest leaf? It's done like this:
Ink the leaf in Pumpkin Pie (the lightest color of the two).
Next use a sponge dauber (can use a sponge too, but it's more difficult to control) and add Rich Razzleberry ink (the darker color) to the edges of the leaf image.
Huff and stamp. Then die-cut with the Stitched Leaves dies.
I did the same thing on the long leaf with Crushed Curry & Pumpkin Pie but it isn't showing up as well.
White CS is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" and textured with the Stitched Leaves dies
Plaid Tidings DSP is 3/4" X 5 1/4"
Rich Razzleberry main card is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2".
Inks are Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry.
The greeting is punched from the Label Me Lovely punch. I started out with a 1" White strip of card stock. Stamp the greeting and insert into the punch for a unique shape!
This week's Stamp with Me Live video featured a window technique using dies. The 2nd & 4th Monday of the month I offer a 'Stamp with Me' Live on my FB page here. Be sure to follow my page so you get notified!
My original card idea came from the Holiday catalog and used the Love of Leaves dies. But I switched it up to use the Stitched Stars dies with the Playful Patterns designer series paper for these fun cards:
I used the smallest three star dies to create 'windows' in my card stock. Then I popped them up over the Playful Patterns designer paper. Add a greeting and another card stock strip and you're done! So quick & easy!
Watch the video below to catch all of the tips and see the original cards too.
Measurements:
Card stock for window 4 1/4" X 3 1/4"
Designer Paper 4 1/2" X 3 1/2"
Greeting strips 3/4"-1" X 4" wide

Last week I shared a card featuring the Love of Leaves bundle. *You can see it below. Now I'm sharing the other card I made with the inside of the die-cut. Cut once and make two cards using these stitched leaf dies!
The die-cut is Soft Suede and the card base is Cajun Craze.
The Pretty Peacock designer paper is from the new Magic in the Night Halloween Designer Series paper seen here! As you can see, it's not just for Halloween!
I also used the new Celebration Label dies seen here;I love the stitched shape of these!
