A wreath made with the Stampin’ Up! Leaf Punch steals the show on today’s autumn birthday card. However, tweak the colors and it becomes a baby card, traditional Christmas (blend a variety of greens), mixed metals (copper, silver, gold) or simply go ALL solid!
NEW! The Leaf Punch is on the list of My Favorite Things from the Holiday Catalog here.
This home decor catalog arrived in the mail Saturday and was my inspiration for using Fresh Fig, Pumpkin Pie, Cherry Cobbler and Crushed Curry. How did I do?
I love hearing from you! Please leave me your questions or comments about the project for today.

STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- I punched four of each color and layered one color at a time. Cherry Cobbler was first to define the top, bottom and sides of the wreath.
- I used Snail adhesive on the stems to that I still had a little “wiggle room” to move the leaves as I layered.
- Yum! The Fresh Fig 1/8″ Sheer Ribbon is a delight to work with and doesn’t overpower the bold wreath design.
- A pop of Pumpkin Pie (Brights Enamel Shapes) ties in the sentiment (Happiest of Days).
- Fabulous find! I love how the Petal Burst Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (on the envelope flap) complements the shape of the leaves from the Leaf Punch.
COMING UP! Tomorrow I’ll share a 1 Minute to WOW! tutorial with quick tips for creating the wreath as well as adding texture to an envelope flap.

Very pretty card with the leaf punch. Thanks for sharing. Must take some time to browse some.
fabulous…..the wreath & use of the punch; you always give such wonderful tips & tricks….thanks you for that!
I appreciate that feedback so much, Susan!
I’m so late but it’s because I had my family over and I was super busy all day.
But I adore this gorgeous card, what a fabulous way to use this punch, I can’t wait to see the video tomorrow.
Thank you for sharing.
XO
Maria.
Your comments mean the world any time, Maria.
I was wavering on getting the leaf punch but your wreath has convinced me that I need this punch! It is a beautiful card and the colors are definitely fall! Thank you for the inspiring ideas!
I’m confident you will get a lot of use out of the Leaf Punch, Linda.
OMGosh Mary …. I LOVE this card! A friend of mine is coming over tomorrow to play in my craft room and I’ve been wondering what we will do – This card is perfect. Looking forward to your video clip. I’ll have my lap top ready to go. So grateful that you share your love of paper crafting and stamping with us!
Just finished the video, Susan. Have a wonderful time. I’ll post the video on YouTube shortly. It will also be on tomorrow’s post. I used a mix of metallics to create a second version.
Thanks so much Ü
Beautiful! Mary, you are so gifted.
Mary, I love your beautiful wreath, The colors are so pretty together. You did a fantastic job. That woud be so pretty as a small wreath on a door. Great job, Marty. Have a beautiful Labor Day. hugs. Ellen Hinds
Thanks for this fabulous comments! This is one of those cards you come up with at 4 a.m. and have to get up and make. Went together so quickly! Love when that happens!
Your Leaf Wreath turned out just delightful. It’s one of your best creations yet. I love that it’s hard to tell where it stops or starts and the multi color design is brilliant! I think that you should try to make this same card using green to see if you can make your own Boxwood Wreath in a larger size.
This leaf wreath would also make neat place cards for a Thanksgiving table.
I really like the colors together. Fresh fig fits in very nicely !
Oh beautiful Mary! A keeper for sure!
🙂
WOW!! You most certainly win the prize for best wreath for fall. A work of art. (Let’s correct that word prize.)

Great work, Mary! Love the wreath!
Love my earning morning comments – even on this Labor Day holiday. Thank you for your kind comments. I’m so excited about the possibilities for this Leaf Punch!
There are so many brilliant components of this project, Mary! The colors are so warm and gorgeous. Creating a wreath with this punch is brilliant. The pairing of this wreath with the Petal Burst embossing folder is out-of-this-world. Love everything about this!
