STAMPIN' UP! LOVE OF LEAVES IN MOSSY MEADOW

 While I was creating with Mossy Meadow for last night's Colour Creations Showcase, I decided to make a completely different second card.  My starting point was die-cutting some Stitched Leaves from Mossy Meadow Designer Series Paper, from the Neutrals 6"x6" pack.  I've kept it simple, using some Whisper White and Crumb Cake, and a few new products from the upcoming January - June Mini Catalogue.

The strip of "leafy" paper down the right hand side of the card is from the Dandy Garden 6"x6" DSP pack, out on 5th January.  After die-cutting the leaves, I generously sponged them with Mossy Meadow ink, and arranged them in a cluster on a scalloped square of Whisper White card, that had been embossed with a new Stitched With Whimsy die.

The sentiment was stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on a piece of Whisper White card, that I then cut with a Stitched So Sweetly die.  I mounted the sentiment on a horizontal strip of Whisper White Thick card that I'd embossed with a Greenery embossing folder.  The embellishments either side of the sentiment are another sneak peek.  We have lovely Opal Rounds coming in January.  I coloured them with my Dark Mossy Meadow Stampin' Blends marker, but you can still see the opalescence (well, in the left hand one, at least!):

Listed below are the current products I used to make my card.  If you live in Australia, and would like to shop with me for your Stampin' Up! supplies, you can get to my online store by clicking on any of the thumbnail images below.  NB:  The Dandy Garden DSP, Stitched With Whimsy Dies, and Opal Rounds will be available to purchase from 5th January.

STAMPIN' UP! LOVE OF LEAVES PLAID TIDINGS CARD IN ORANGE

Today's card was a real challenge for me, because I am not a fan of orange!  That being said, I am really pleased with the end result, so my view may have been softened.

I've used the beautiful Love of Leaves bundle, and no other stamp sets - quite unusual for me.  I stamped the leaves in Mango Melody, Pumpkin Pie and Memento Tuxedo Black inks, on Whisper White card.  Using the dies, I cut them out, and embossed veins in each leaf.  One of the very cool dies was used to create the vertical stitched lines in the Pumpkin Pie card panel at the top.  I've arranged the leaves on a stitched scalloped rectangle, cut using the Stitched So Sweetly dies, that has been embossed with one of the beautiful Greenery Embossing Folders.  The sentiment is from Love of Leaves, and is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a piece of Mango Melody card.  I used a smaller die from the Stitched So Sweetly set, and mounted the die cut on a slightly larger mat of Basic Black card.

Some Artistry Blooms sequins, and twine from the Playful Pets Trim Combo, finish off the card.

STAMPIN' UP! LOVE OF LEAVES THANK YOU CARD IN GREENS

The beautiful paper on today's card is from the Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper pack.  I love how the colour graduates from Granny Apple Green to Garden Green.  I flipped the colour order on the two rectangular panels, so the scalloped rectangle has the lighter green at the top, and the larger stitched rectangle is darker at the top, fading to light at the bottom.

The Love of Leaves bundle is one of my favourites in the new Mini Catalogue.  I am smitten with the stitched details on the leaves.  The dies are awesome.  I've stamped my leaves in Granny Apple Green and Garden Green, and added two leaves just die cut from Whisper White card.

I have matted the green papers on a Whisper White panel that is embossed with the Tasteful Textile embossing folder.  To finish the card, I added some little Flowers For Every Season gems, and a baker's twine bow made from Playful Pets Trim Combo.

Here's a closer view of the leaves, and lovely paper:
