Autumn Leaves Grateful Heart Card

Greetings!

It's the time of year when the evenings get dark earlier, the temps are cooling down, and the leaves are starting to show their gorgeous fall colors.  What better way to honor the season than with a card made with the beautiful Autumn Leaves bundle.  This bundle is chock full of beautiful stamps, great sentiments and fantastic dies to cut out and emboss leaves, and also has great labels and subtle textures to use for enhancing your backgrounds.  Love, love, love this bundle!

One of the things that becomes a challenge from time to time is the supply issues that Stampin' Up! encounters, just like everywhere else does.  With that being said, even though the Autumn Leaves bundle is available, some of the other items included in this collection aren't available right now, so I love to see what else I can use to still make a great card.  The Let's Go Fishing Designer Series Papers (DSP) provide wonderful prints in colors that compliment the fall color palette I was looking for, so I opted to use them.  I am so happy with how lovely they look!


Isn't that a wonderful shape for the label!  And I love that the dies also include the tiny little banner that the "TODAY & EVERY DAY" fits in.  It makes for a really fun way to layer the message, and what a fabulous message it is.  A reminder of how important gratitude is and that we can be grateful every day 😊
