One of my favorite suites in the September – December Mini Catalog is the All About Autumn Sweet (#162193 $105.75 USD). Fall is my favorite season so it’s no surprise I was drawn to this suite. It features the Autumn Leaves stamp set, matching dies, copper and natural ribbon combo pack, Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder, Oxidized Copper 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper and All About Autumn 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper (all products can be purchased separately).

I had so much fun creating with this suite, and this is one card that gets a lot of compliments.

I used Pretty Peacock for the card base with the same color panel embossed with the Distressed TIle 3D embossing file. To get the emphasize the distressed look of the embossed panel I used Metallic Copper Enamel Effects. It really brings out the copper in the leaf and veins.

I attached the panel to the main card with dimensionals to make it pop a bit. Then from the Distressed Oxidized Copper DSP I cut one large leaf and two mall leaves and the veins from the Pretty Peacock and Copper DSP. After attaching the veins with mono glue I added it to the card front again with dimensionals. The saying “Autumn teaches us that change can be beautiful” was stamped on Very Vanilla cardstock using Pretty Peacock ink, then cut out using the frame in the Autumn Leaves dies. To add a little sparkle I used 2023 – 2025 In Color Dots on the saying.

For the inside I stamped “I’m Thankful” on Very Vanilla using Pretty Peacock. I added the two remaining leaves to tie it all together.
