Fall Card

Thank you for joining me on Sassy Lady's blog for this beautiful fall day! 

The season is gorgeous  in my state! The leaves are turning deep rich colors, air is crisp and fresh...a far cry from the 100 + days of a few short weeks ago! It is fun to be outside and I am really easing my way into fall!

1. Print and Cut 7 leaves from Paper Doll Dress Up Cartridge. Size 1-2". Use assorted colors from Imagine More Cartridge. OR use fall print papers.

2. Cut mats from Imagine built in shapes. Real size 3 3/4 and 3 1/2". 

3. Punch 3 shapes to cover brads from tan paper. Cover with I-top tool. Draw cross hatch lines on top to mimic acorn hats. Punch 3 small holes through mats in lower left area of smaller mat. Insert brads through holes and fix.

4. Soften leaves by rolling over fingers. 

5. Wrap ribbon around card front. Secure on front with tape (will be hidden by mats). Stitch around edge of card front, through ribbon approximately 1/4" from edge.

I hope that you, too, can ease into fall! Until next time....
