Autumn Leaves with tips and tricks

 I’m loving the Autumn Leaves die set from Stampin’ Up!, and the papers.

First up some pumpkin paper, and leaf veins used as twigs.


The mottled look is from a juicy ink pad, which in this case I like.
Squirrel is a two step, but I eventually found it easier to do the inner before the outline.


Rough the end of jute ribbon, and pull out strands….makes a lovely texture detail.
Good for using up snippets of ribbon.

Cased this one from the catalogue……always useful for 💡 ideas.


Another paper from All About Autumn….lush


Use metallic enamel effects to paint with! Used here on the veins.


That squirrel gets everywhere….


These are the dies…


I’m taking these over to

Pixies Snippets Playground, snippets of jute and various card scraps for leaves.

Never Before Used Schtuff, never before used squirrels



Little Red Wagon Patterned paper

Try Stampin on Tuesday, pumpkins


Have a great weekend

  1. All three are lovely autumnal cards. I’m particularly drawn to the middle card with the line of leaves.

    Thanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground. See you up in the treehouse for a coffee and maybe a dash of Baileys if you need a winter warmer!!!! Xxx

  2. These Autumnal cards are great and show varied ways of using stamps and dies. Cute cheeky squirrel too. Handy tip for the frayed ribbon

  10. As you prolly know, I love squirrels (or squizzels as my British friend calls them - isn't that cute?!), so these autumn cards are right in my happy place, Lesley! They are all terrific and I appreciate all the tips, too! Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
