I'm starting to build my stash of Thanksgiving cards, and used the All About Autumn Suite today to create a card that reminded me of a warm, wooly sweater on a cold day.  For this Card, I'm using a color theme of Smoky Slate, Pebbled Path and Copper Clay along with Basic White and a print from the All About Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper.   I used the dies from the Autumn Leaves Bundle to create leaves for my card front.  I love that the dies cut details into the smaller leaves.  For the larger leaf, I die cut it from Smoky Slate Cardstock and I used the Autumn Leaves Stamp Set to stamp veins in Pebbled Path Ink onto the leaf.  The smaller leaves are die cut from Copper Clay and Pebbled Path Cardstock.  While the Autumn Leaves stamp Set includes several appropriate Fall and Thanksgiving-themed sentiments, I choose to pull out my August 2019 The Gift of Fall Paper Pumpkin Kit and used the beautiful sentiments from that kit on my card.  I love the cozy, warm feel of this card, and I'm looking forward to our first cold front coming to Houston later this week where we finally expect to see temperatures fall from the 90s into the 80s...our first cool..er days of Fall.     

     

The basecard for this card is Smoky Slate Cardstock.  Then I used a print from the All About Autumn 6" X 6" Specialty Designer Series Paper Pack.  I added a thin border of Pebbled Path along the left edge of the Designer Series Paper.  Then I created an image area of Basic White, also bordered with Pebbled Path Cardstock.

Next, I die cut one large and three smaller leaves using the Autumn Leaves Dies.  I cut the largest leaf from Smoky Slate and stamped the veins using the stamp form Autumn Leaves Stamp Set.  I used Pebbled Path Ink for the veins.  I cut two of the smaller leaves from Copper Clay Cardstock, and another small leaf from Pebbled Path Cardstock and layered them onto the card.  I was tempted to pop the leaves up on Dimensionals, but decided that the dimensional effect in the Designer Series Paper was enough depth on the card.   

To finish my cards, I used sentiments from the August 2019 The Gift of Fall Paper Pumpkin Kit and stamped them on the Basic White layer using Pebbled Path Ink.  To complete my card I added a few Pebbled Path accents from the 2023-2025 In Color Dots Pack.
