Posted on November 16, 2024November 7, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing Fall/Autumn projects. I am sharing a one sheet wonder created with the Autumn Leaves stamp set.

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the Autumn leaves one sheet wonder cards, you will need:

1 A4 sheet of Basic Beige cardstock
4 card bases – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – I used Basic Beige, Boho Blue, Wild Wheat and Blackberry Bliss
Matting layers – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – I chose 2 in Blackberry Bliss and 2 in Boho Blue
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”

I began by stamping the large maple leaf in Wild Wheat ink, keeping the stamping roughly in the figure of a cross.
