Autumn Leaves Slimline Anniversary Card

- October 03, 2024

Hi Crafting Friend,

Today's card is a slimline with an Autumn theme. It fits into a 9 1/2" X 4 3/8" business envelope.

The card base is Pebbled Path cardstock cut to 9 1/4" X 8" scored, folded and burnished at 4"

The first cardstock layer is Wild Wheat cut to 8 1/2" X 3 3/4" adhered with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

For the embossed Mossy Meadow layer start with a piece that is cardstock layer is 8 1/2" X 3 3/4" After embossing it with the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder, (emboss once then turn the cardstock 90° and emboss a 2nd time, don't allow any of the leaves to overlap. Some will be partially flattened by the 2nd embossing. Strategically place your die-cut leaves to camoflauge it later.) cut it down to 8 1/4" X 3 1/2" It is adhered with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

The Basic White insert is 8 1/2" X 3 3/4" edged with Wild Wheat using a sponge dauber and adhered with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

The veins for all the leaves are die-cut from Copper Clay cardstock that had adhesive sheet applied to the back first.

The die-cut Maple leaves are Pumpkin Pie cardstock, the die-cut oak leaves are Cajun Craze cardstock, the other die-cut leaves are Crushed Curry cardstock.

The leaves on the card front are adhered with Dimensionals.

The leaves on the inside are adhered with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I decided to use it as an anniversary card for friends, so the sentiment (stamped with Pebbled Path) and the hearts (stamped with Cherry Cobbler) are from a retired set called Always in my Heart because I like the way the words look like they are being blown about by the wind.
