Hi crafty friends and welcome back. Today I have a super fun (and super easy) fall card for you, the Simon Says Stamp Autumn Leaves Gem Colors.
The Autumn Leaves stamp set is from Simon’s recent Make Merry Release. It’s a 6 x 8 stamp set made up of beautiful leaf images that you can use all year around. As it’s fall, I decided my first card would be in beautiful fall colors so I used my Gansai Tambi Gem Colors watercolor paints and as they are iridescent, I painted them onto black card stock for a masculine feel.
- Take the entire stamp set and use glue dots to attach it to the lid of the Misti, that way you don’t have to reposition each leaf.
- Stamp the images in VersaMark Ink onto black cardstock.
- Next, cover with gold embossing powder, shake off the excess and heat set.
- Paint the images with the gold, green and red paints.
- Work around the embossed stitches in the center of each leaf so the stitching shows.
- Die cut the “Celebrate” sentiment twice from gold and layer.
- Cut a strip of vellum a bit wider than the sentiment and wrap it around the card front securing at the back.
- Attach it to the gold mat and then the white A2 sized top folding card base.
- Use White glue to attach the sentiment to the front of the vellum.
- Finally, embellish with a few gold sequins.
You can order the Autumn Leaves stamp set alone or combined with the Autumn Leaves Die set. My next card I stamp, color and cut out the leaves so I have a layered effect on my card. Watch for that post coming soon.

thanks Bonnie, I love that paint so much
All of your cards are SO beautiful. Thank you for the inspiration. Genius idea to take the whole stamp set and attached to the Misti!!
THANK YOU!
haha, you are so welcome Amy, I do that with a lot of stamp sets that have multi’s, they are already nicely positioned, so take advantage of it, and the glue dots are easy to peel off afterwards.
and thank you on my cards, you are so kind
Sandi – this is so beautiful! I love all the shine!
thank you Natasha, I’m obsessed with this paint, haha
