Embossed Leaves

Posted on November 1, 2020October 26, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Here is a gorgeous embossed leaves card made using the Love of Leaves stamp set and the Tasteful Textiles embossing folder. I love the bright colours and the linen look of the card.

To recreate the embossed leaves card you will need:

Thick Whisper White – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored and folded at 4⅛” – Rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5 ¾” by 4” – Rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 4” by 2½”
Scrap WW

When making a card like this I always start by stamping the largest image and working through the images to the smallest. With this in mind I started by stamping the largest leaf in Granny Apple Green ink. The next leaf was stamped in Bermuda Bay ink, the next in Magenta Madness and the smallest in Daffodil Delight ink.

The whole panel was run through the Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine with the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. I love the effect this gives. I wrapped some of the gorgeous gold twine from the Forever Greenery ribbon duo around the layer and added the whole layer to the Thick Whisper White card base with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I stamped one of the smallest leaves in Daffodil Delight ink and die cut it out using my Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine and the Stitched Leaves dies.

The sweet label from the Ornate Layers Dies was cut out of the smallest piece of Whisper White using the Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine.

The sentiment from the Life is Beautiful stamp set was stamped on the Ornate label in Bermuda Bay ink. The panel was then added on Dimensionals to the card front.

I added the die cut leaf, a trio of 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots and gold twine bow to complete the card.
