This combination of Stampin’ Up! Vintage Leaves stamp set with coordinating Leaflets Framelits Dies is the essence of a clean and simple fall card.
I was inspired by the color combination from this week’s Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge (PPA271) to set the stage. See what the rest of the PPA Resident Artists have created with these colors and play along here.
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- The Stampin’ Up! Vintage Leaves stamp set coordinates with the Leaflets Framelits Dies. Purchase them as a bundle and save 15%!
- I stamped the maple leaf and then layered a piece of Whisper White cardstock that was cropped with the coordinating Leaflets Framelits die. The layer is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals for a 3-D effect.
- A simple Candy Dot (Regals Candy Dots) accents “hello fall.”
- A Whisper White Medium Envelope is dressed up with a liner cropped from a woodgrain pattern (Into the Woods Designer Series Paper). View all the Stampin’ Up! holiday designer series paper in one spot.

DITO Brian’s comment!
Thanks, Kylie. Your comment (from across the “pond”) means so much!
Awesome card Mary! I love this! What a clever idea having the panel cut to hug the stamped image. Wonderful – love love love.
I was determined to put a video together for you and ended up with a nasty cold. My voice isn’t going to hold out. I’ll try and do a video if I do a similar style card in the future. The bottom line is that I stamped the leaf image and then cropped with the die based on how the leaf was stamped. I used a larger piece of card stock than needed so that I could trim it a bit to adjust and get it to layer properly over the stamped image.
Great idea! Thank you for simple ideas that make a big impact and make the card special!
what a terrific idea to crop the mat – I a going to try that!! thanks for the idea!
Beautiful, Mary. I would also love to see a video on how to create that negative space for the maple leaf. Looks so fresh and classy! Beautiful colors too!
Thanks for your kind comments!
I just updated the supplies list. The stamp set for “hello fall” is For All Things
absolutely gorgeous card, I am now wondering what other framelit this would work with, sadly I don’t think any.
Hi Maggie: I think a lot of framelits would work as long as there is a coordinating stamp. Even shapes, like hearts, circles, etc. M
That card is awesome. I love the leaf set, it’s on the wish list. Thank you for sharing.
your card is beautiful! those colors work beautifully for your card.
As others have said, this technique is fascinating! Would you please create a video to show how you cut out only part of the maple leaf and left it attached to the Whisper White card stock? I’d love to try this technique that you used to create your beautiful card!
I was so happy with how this card turned out and your kind comments are so reinforcing!
Your knack for creating simple designs that pack a lot of punch will never cease to amaze me. This looks spectacular! 🙂

BRILLIANT example of the fabulous work that you create. I LOVE THIS TECHNIQUE!
Just stunning Mary!!
Love the 3D effect. Beautiful card.
Luscious layers! I love the negative in the top layer. Beautiful card Mary!
Genius layout and perfect execution. I love this crisp, cool card!
That means a lot for a kid who went to “genius” camp! Thanks, BK!
