For All Things Fall
If you’ve followed Wild West Paper Arts for the last couple of years you probably know that I love the leaves of autumn. When these colors came up, there was no question what would be created.
Here’s how this cute little tag is created.
First, use your Big Shot and the Autumn Accents Bigz Die to cut a maple leaf tag (or card).
Autumn Accents Bigz Die #127812
Next, use your Big Shot to add texture by embossing with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.
Woodgrain TIEF #127821
Now the fun begins. Use a Stampin’ Sponge to distress the edges of the leaf with Hello Honey and Crumb Cake. Finishing off the tips with Blackberry Bliss. Use the sponge again with Crumb Cake to lightly distress the raised edges of the embossed woodgrain. Then, use your Adhesive Remover as a stamp to add a little Blackberry Bliss to the embossed leaf.

While the base is drying, create the focal pieces using the new For All Things Stamp Set featured in the 2014 Holiday Catalog from Stampin’ Up!
For All Things CM #135155
Apply a little glitter to the leaves with 2-Way Glue, add some ribbon and you’ll have cute tags for the season.

Thank you Katy!
Rae what an excellent fall card. I love the textures, colours and glitter.
Thank you Penny. 🙂
Wow this is amazing. Another beautiful piece of work of art that is truly from your heart. You never cease to amaze me with your creativity!
Susan, thank you so much for the great comment and compliment. 🙂
This is stunning, Rae! I love it so much, I decided to add it to the Stamp Club projects for my ladies this Friday. Played around with it and made a Cajun Craze version with Champagne Glimmer Paper and some gold embossing splashes. So many fun ways you can change up this gift card! Thanks for sharing!
Susan, I’d love to see your version! Thank you. The ultimate compliment. 🙂
Gorgeous, Rae! I studied this for awhile and just love all the touches you’ve added to the left. I’m going to share this with a friend who wants to make a “leaf wreath” for all. This would be a perfect addition. Thanks for joining DT 1 this week!
Thank you Dawn. Thinking it over again, I think I would try Dazzling Diamonds as an alternative to Gold glitter. Good luck.
