I have been playing with the Autumn Leaves stamp set recently and have come up with a sweet half a sheet wonder which, when cut down made two cards.
Colours used in these cards are:
To recreate the cards, you will need:
Basic White card – 8¼” by 5⅞”
2 card bases – 8¼” by 5⅞” – I used Wild Wheat & Moody Mauve
Blackberry Bliss card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
I mounted all the outline leaf images and the leaf veins onto clear acrylic blocks and began stamping along the long side of the large piece of Basic White card. I then stamped leaves from one long side down the middle to the other long side.

The large maple leaves were stamped in Pumpkin Pie ink and the veins added it Cajun Craze ink. The oak leaf was stamped in Moody Mauve ink and the veins added with Blackberry Bliss ink.

Using a Post It Note, I masked one of the double leaves and inked up with Old Olive ink and added the veins in Early Espresso ink. The double leaves were then stamped together in Wild Wheat ink adding the veins in Copper Clay ink.

I cut the stamped Basic White panel down to give me 2 card fronts measuring 5” by 3¼” saving the scraps to decorate the inside panels and envelopes.

The sentiment from the Phrases For All stamp set, was stamped on both panels in Blackberry Bliss ink. The panels were then glued to the Blackberry Bliss layers using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The panels were added to the card fronts on Dimensionals.
