InKing Royalty Blog Hop~Leaves

It’s time again for another InKing Royalty’s Blog Hop with many of my team members. And our October theme is all about Leaves. Don’t you just love this time of year when all the leaves begin to change and fall?! We do, and we are excited to share our creations. Hope you love them! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

This was a super easy theme for me because I love Fall! I really like winter too, especially when I don’t have to go anywhere, but there is something so majestic about Fall. Of course I could not decide on which of our fantastic Leaves sets to features, so I decided on three of my favorites.

My first card features the brand new Autumn Leaves Bundle and although I did not use the dies for this card, they are amazing! I began my card with an Early Espresso card base, added a layer of Old Olive and stamped the large leaf with Old Olive and Early Espresso ink on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock.

The greetings is also stamped with Early Espresso ink and I used a sponge dauber to add a bit of Early Espresso around the edges and then attached it to my card front using some Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. I just love those little guys.

For my second card, again I just could not decide between the Textures Bundle and the Bough punch which coordinates with the Layering Leaves stamp set. I could have used the dies from the Autumn Leaves Bundle, but did not really think they were the type of leaves for my pot.

I had a hard time with the photo showing up so I put an added layer of cardstock behind so the Very Vanilla did not blend into the background. I am sure there is an easier way, but remember I am not a professional and an expert at nothing, except being me, flawed and imperfect, but stamping everyday! LOL Photography advise is always welcome!

I began my second card with a Very Vanilla card base and added a layer of Early Espresso. I stamped the pot from Earthen Textures with Cajun Craze ink on Cajun Craze cardstock and the greeting on Vanilla. I used the Bough punch to punch leaves with Cherry Cobbler, Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie, Mossy Meadow, and Daffodil Delight.

I then layered all these leaves in the pot and attached it to the card front. I will be featuring the Autumn Leaves Bundle in my next Make It Monday video where I will share three cards using this bundle, so be sure to stop by next Monday to catch that video.
