Card Details

Here are a few details about how I created this card:

  • Very Vanilla Card stock: base measures 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4. Another piece measuring 5 1/4 x 4.
  • Ink refill colors: Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green
  • Linen Thread
  • Enamel Basic Effects: Copper

Baby Wipe Technique

A brief recap of how to accomplish this technique. Be sure to watch the video below to see how it’s done:

  • Layer two baby wipes on top of each other. Be sure to protect your work surface as the ink will bleed. I used my Glass Mat.
  • Drip drops of reinkers onto baby wipes. I used Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler, and Garden Green.
  • Cover the baby wipe area. It has to be large to accommodate the large stamp.
  • Press the stamp in the inked baby wipe and then stamp on the Very Vanilla card stock.

Changing Leaves Two-Tone Congrats

Who doesn’t love the beauty of the fall? So gorgeous with the changing colors of the leaves and the vibrant regals. I’ve tried to depict that fall season with today’s post and featured card.

I use Stampin’ Up!’s Changing Leaves Bundle and the Autumn to Remember 12 x 12 Card Stock.

Changing Leaves Bundle Card Samples

Changing Leaves Bundle Card Samples

When the calendar turns to September, it’s time to starting thinking about creating those fall cards. For me, the perfect bundle is Stampin’ Up!’s Changing Leaves Bundle. It includes the Changing Leaves Stamp Set and the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder. Buy them as a bundle, and receive a 10 percent discount. You won’t find this bundle in the catalog. It’s one of the Online Exclusives releases, and it’s been highly popular. 

I think you’ll see why it’s been a sought-after item with just a few of the cards I show you in this post today. Be sure to watch the Facebook live replay below to see how this awesome hybrid embossing folder works. It embosses AND die cut sat the same time. And the result is stunning! I show quite a few samples in the video in addition to the few featured in this post.

Changing Leaves Here for You

These measurements will help you create this card at home for the card featured at the beginning of this post:

  • Basic Beige cardstock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
  • Basic Beige cardstock measuring 5 1/4 x 4 embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder
  • Country Woods Designer Series Paper measuring 2 x 5 1/4
  • Leaves stamped with Pool Party, Early Espresso, and Petal Pink on Basic Beige cardstock

I’m impressed this bundle lends itself to so many other designs. The card below uses only the stamps. I inked the leaves with: Pool Party, Wild Wheat, and Copper Clay. The sentiment comes from the Heartfelt Hexagon Stamp Set. And, look at that gorgeous Wild Wheat ribbon.
