The Falling Leaves stamp set and Detailed Leaves Thinlits Dies immediately grabbed my attention in the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog (starts Sept. 5) for their sophisticated elements and year round versatility.

STAMPIN’ PRETTY STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL:
Create a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card base using Thick Whisper White card stock and the Stampin’ Trimmer.
Stamp “thankful” from Falling Leaves stamp set in VersaMark ink on a 3 1/2 x 4 1/2 piece of Blueberry Bushel card stock. Heat emboss “thankful” using the Stampin’ Up! Heat Tool and White Stampin’ Emboss Powder.
Adhere “thankful” layer to a 3 3/4 x 4 3/4 piece of Pineapple Punch card stock and adhere both layers to the card base. I used Snail Adhesive.
Crop the center of a 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 piece of Thick Whisper White card stock using the rectangle die from Sliding Barn Framelits Dies, the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine and Magnetic Platform (for keeping the die centered). Adhere to the Blueberry Bushel layer using Stampin’ Dimensionals for a 3-D “frame” effect.
Crop the detailed leaf from Detailed Leaves Thinlits Dies using Thick Whisper White card stock, the Big Shot and Precision Base Plate (for best results with detailed thinlits dies). Use the Big Shot Die Brush to remove the die cut from the die cleanly. Adhere the leaf to the frame as shown after carefully dabbing Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the two lower leaves.
Embellish it! Tie a bow with Blueberry Bushel 1/8″ Grosgrain Ribbon and adhere with a Glue Dot as shown. Add three Pineapple Punch self-adhesive dots from Best Route Enamel Shapes.
Crop a Blueberry Bushel polka dot pattern from the 2018-2020 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper collection using the Big Shot and liner die from Beautiful Layers Thinlits Dies. The liner is 1 7/8″ high from center. Adhere to the outside envelope flap of a Medium Whisper White Envelope using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Here’s my video with more tips on how to do this (at about the 2 minute mark).

Clean and stunning, Mary! The “pop” of Pineapple Punch draws the eye right into the design. Plus, I love how the die cut is framed. A fabulous layout! Thank you for sharing at Festive Fridays!
Absolutely gorgeous, Mary! I love the bold blue and pops of yellow on this card. Such a brilliantly simple, but beautifully effective, design!
Thanks, BK, for your input on the color placement and choices, too!

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a kind comment, Kathy!
Really beautiful use of the colors. So elegant!! Thank you!
Thanks, Robin. I’m so happy you enjoy the card!
You have BLOWN ME AWAY with this card my friend. The little panel of Pineapple Punch just puts this card OVER THE TOP in my book. Very Nice!!!
Thanks, Kadie. I love the possibilities for alternate color combinations.
The colors are beautiful and they draw the eye to the entire card. The shape of the leaf is wonderful. TFS.
Love the colors you picked! Must try that combo of paper.
Thank you.
White really pops against Blueberry Bushel, Vickie!
Mary, the layering on this card is magnificent, it draws your eyes to the beautiful and delicate leaf, the perfectly embossed sentiment and the delicious enamel dots.
All of this elements combine beautifully on your amazing card.
Thank you so much for sharing.
XO
Thanks, Maria. It’s my pleasure to share. This was fun to make!
Love this pretty card with the pineapple punch layer, the pretty diecut leaf and the little blueberry buckle bow. Just the right amount of yellow to really give it a pop. Have a wonderful day!
Pineapple Punch really packs a bold punch so I used it sparingly. Thanks, Hilda!
