I used the Stampin’ Up! Artistic Leaves stamp set from the July 1 Online Exclusives to create a quick fall thank you card to share with you today. I also did a quick video showing you how I created this card on my YouTube channel here.

I started by embossing a panel of Early Espresso Two-Tone Card Stock with the Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder. I used a sanding block to sand the raised areas of the embossed panel and then adhered the panel to the front of an Early Espresso card base with Stampin’ Seal.

I cut a panel of patterned paper from the Need For Tweed DSP (Online Exclusive item available July 1) with one of the Textured Notes Dies (Online Exclusive item restocking around July 7). Then a stamped the detailed leaf image from the Artistic Leaves photopolymer stamp set (Online Exclusive item available July 1) in Pumpkin Pie ink on the die cut panel. I stamped the fill-in image from the Artistic Leaves stamp set in Timid Tiger ink over the detailed image. I stamped the dotted image from the Artistic Leaves stamp set in Early Espresso ink on the panel and then adhered the stamped panel to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.

I tied a bow with Linen Thread and then adhered it with a Mini Glue Dot to the card front. Then I stamped the sentiment from the Artistic Leaves stamp set in VersaMark ink on a panel of Basic Beige ink, sprinkled it with gold embossing powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder and then heat embossed it. I cut the sentiment out with one of the Nested Essentials Dies and then adhered it with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front. I adhered two Adhesive-Backed Textured Dots to finish the card front.

I stamped the leaves and dots from the Artistic Leaves stamp set in Pumpkin Pie, Timid Tiger and Early Espresso ink on a panel of Basic Beige card stock to finish the inside of the card.
