Sad Saying Goodbye

Hi! Today I have a card featuring one of my all time favorite sets in the Annual Catalog – Vintage Leaves. I am extremely sad to see this set and the coordinating framelits leaving this year.

Vintage Leaves, Leaves, Fall, Thank You, Wood Textures DSP, DSP, #loveitchopit, Stampin' Up!, SU!

For this card, I paired the retiring Vintage Leaves stamp set with Wood Words and the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper. The leaves are stamped directly on the Wood Textures DSP – I love the added depth it gives the leaves. Here’s a closer look:

Even the die cut leaf (die cut using the Seasonal Layers thinlet) is die cut from the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper. The other leaves were stamped in Chocolate Chip and Crumb Cake.

The leaves are layered on a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Wood Textures DSP and the base is a 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″ of thick Whisper White card stock.

The sentiment is stamped in Chocolate Chip (going to miss this color!) and is from Wood Words stamp set. This is punched with a 1″ circle punch and layered on a 1 1/4″ circle punch of Cajun Craze card stock. A bow made from linen thread finishes off the card.

If you haven’t yet purchased the Vintage Leaves stamp set and coordinating Leaflet Framelits, I highly recommend getting them now! Shop my on-line store and use Hostess Code: 4CKMSHRT This is a great masculine, Thanksgiving, Thank You, Fall, Thinking of You stamp set.

Don’t forget to stock up on the retiring colors – especially grabbing a reinker and cardstock!
