Here's my card for today! I love the new stamp set, Wonderfall and the coordinating Leaves die! I thought about raking leaves when I was a kid and putting them in bushel baskets…so I came up with this fun card!
It is an actual card that folds up. The leaves are tucked under the top band on the front so they don't interfere with the opening. The base of the card is 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 More Mustard, then I cut in the sides slightly to form the barrel shape. I was careful to keep the entire height of the card under 5 1/2 so that it fits in a regular envelope. I used the Woodgrain Impressions Folder on the front of the card, and on the bands of Early Espresso. I added Antique Brass brads to each of the sides of the bands for rivets.
To fill the bushel basket, I cut and stamped (yes, in that order with this die!) the leaves and crunched them up a little for texture. Some of them are cut in half to fit in easier. I tucked in Champagne Glitter Paper leaves, too, for extra bling and sparkle. At the bottom, I added a Bronze button (LOVE these accents!), tied with Linen Thread and the Give Thanks greeting from Full of Blessings stamp set cut with a flag end.
Like it? I was thrilled with how it turned out!
But…don't forget…go check out Create with Connie and Mary today for Mary's project and BLOG CANDY!!! And…subscribe while you are there!

This is a cool 'fall' card! Very colorful…TFS.
I have this set and may try it.

This card is the Bomb! I just love it.
I love this card! When I was a kid we also raked leaves and put them in those bushel baskets! Times change! Anyway, I love the card and esp. those little blingy leaves – we can say the dew is on them or something! Thanks for sharing your card with us.
